3D-QSAR Studies on the Anti-tumor Activity of N-Aryl-salicylamide Derivatives

In the present work,comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA)techniques were used to perform three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR)studies on the anti-tumor activity(pHi,i=1,2,3,4)of N-aryl-salicylamide derivatives against four cancer cell lines,including A549,MCF-7,SGC-7901,and Bel-7402.12 compounds were randomly selected as the training set to establish the prediction models,which were verified by the test set of 5 compounds containing template molecule.The contributions of steric and electrostatic fields to pH1,pH2,pH3,and pH4 were 23.8% and 76.2%,20.1% and 79.9%,18.7% and 81.3%,and 14.3%and 85.7%,respectively.The cross-validation(Rcv 2)and non-cross-validation coefficients(R2)were 0.826 and 0.963 for pH1,0.867 and 0.974 for pH2,0.941 and 0.989 for pH3,and 0.797 and 0.961 for pH4,respectively.The CoMFA models were then used to predict the activities of the compounds,and it was found that the models had strong stability and good predictability.Based on the CoMFA contour maps,some key structural factors responsible for the anticancer activity of the series of compounds were revealed.The results provide some useful theoretical references for understanding the mechanism of action,designing new N-aryl-salicylamide derivatives with high anti-tumor activity,and predicting their activities.

STRUCTURE,MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND BIOACTIVITIES OF(1→3)-β-D-GLUCANS AND ITS SULFATED DERIVATIVES FROM FOUR KINDS OF LENTINUS EDODES

Lentinan samples,(1→3)-β-D-glucans containing 4.6-15.2 wt% proteins,coded as L-I_1 L-I_2 L-I_3 and L-I_4(L-I)were isolated from four kinds of Lentinus edodes.These glucans were treated with acetone to remove the protein in orderto obtain free protein glucans coded as LNP-I_1,LNP-I_2.LNP-I_3 and LNP-I_4(LNP-I).The free-protein polysaccharideswere sulfated to give derivatives(S-LNP-I)with degree of substitution(DS)from 0.4-0.8.The structural features andweight-average molecular weight(M_w)of the samples were investigated by using infrared spectroscopy,elemental analysis,^(13)C-NMR,size exclusion chromatography combined with laser light scattering(SEC-LLS)and viscometry.The effects ofstructure and conformation of the polysaccharides on antitumor activities were assayed in vivo(Sarcoma 180 solid tumors)and in vitro(Sarcoma 180,HL-60,MCF-7 and Vero tumors).The results indicated that the predominant species of thesamples L-I and LNP-I in 0.2 mol/L NaCl aqueous solution existed as triple-helical chains with high rigidity and in dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)as single-flexible chains.Interestingly,the antitumor activities of LNP-I are lower than those of the nativeglucans(L-I),whereas their sulfated derivatives have higher inhibition ratio against Sarcoma 180 than LNP-I.The resultsreveal that the binding of protein,sulfated modification and the triple helix conformation are important factors in theenhancement of the antitumor activities of polysaccharides on the whole.

High-Value-Added Utilization of Turpentine:Screening of Anti-Influenza Virus Agents fromβ-Pinene Derivatives

Turpentine is a renewable and resourceful forest product.The deep processing and utilization of turpentine,particularly its primary componentβ-pinene,has garnered widespread attention.This study aimed to synthesize 40 derivatives ofβ-pinene,including nopinone,3-cyanopyridines of nopinone,myrtanyl acid,myrtanyl acylthioureas,and myrtanyl amides.We assessed the antiviral activities of theseβ-pinene derivatives against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1)using the 3-(4,5-dimetylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.Theβ-pinene derivatives were used before and after cellular infection with the influenza virus to evaluate their preventive and therapeutic effects against the H1N1 virus.The results showed that only compound 10o exhibited a preventive effect against the H1N1 virus with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)value of 47.6μmol/L.Among the compounds,4e,4i,and 4l demonstrated therapeutic effects against cellular infection,with compound 4e displaying the most potent therapeutic effect(IC50=17.5μmol/L),comparable to the positive control ribavirin.These findings indicated that certainβ-pinene derivatives exhibited in vitro antiviral activity against the H1N1 influenza A virus,warranting further investigation as potential anti-influenza agents.

The bibenzyl derivatives of Dendrobium officinale prevent UV-B irradiation induced photoaging via SIRT3

Dendrobium officinale is a valuable medicinal herb that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine.The chemical constituents of D.officinale have attracted much attention and a large number of compounds have been reported including many bibenzyl derivatives.13 bibenzyl derivatives from D.officinale were sent for molecular docking,sur-face plasmon resonance(SPR)assay and after detection of Mn-SOD and SIRT3 activities in or not in HaCaT cells,it was concluded that bibenzyl derivatives did not directly activate Mn-SOD but promoted SIRT3 proteins.In addition,HaCaT cells were irradiated with UV-B to induce an oxidative stress model in vitro to further verify the effect of bibenzyl derivatives.The results show that bibenzyl derivatives could directly bind to SIRT3,enhance the deacetylation and then activate Mn-SOD,so as to protect UV-B induced skin photoaging.

Discovery of Fuchsone Derivatives as Novel Nonpeptide Inhibitor of Caspase-3

Many degenerative diseases caused by uncontrolled cell death can be intervened pharmaceutically through inhibiting caspase-3 activity that leads to cell apoptosis. Here is presented the discovery of rosolic acid and phe- nolphthalein methyl ester, which both belong to fuchsone derivatives, as novel and potent nonpeptide inhibitors of caspase-3.

Molecular modeling study provided further an insight into the interaction of phenolphthalein methyl ester with activated cas- pase-3. The structures of the present small-molecule caspase-3 inhibitors are different from the structures of known caspase-3 inhibitors, so the inhibitors were likely to provide some information for the discovery of anti-caspase-3 in- hibitors.
