The main objective of this study was to search for potent antioxidant supplements to protect our cells against diseases associated with oxidative stress. We chose four pyrano-[2,3-c]-pyrazole derivatives to test their antioxidant properties in vivo using \"Tetrahymena spp\" as a cellular model. Then, we measured the activity of some antioxidant and biochemical biomarkers such as CAT, SOD, GAPDH, SDH, Gr, and MDA. Also, the fragmentation of DNA has been investigated. The current study demonstrated that the three compounds (5a, b, and c) have potent antioxidant activity, characterized by increased activity of some antioxidant enzymes, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. These findings suggest for the first time that Pyrano-[2,3-c]-Pyrazoles is a promising source of synthetic antioxidants that could offer protection against H2O2-induced- stress and provide us with a new challenge to design a library of pharmaceutical compounds with high activity and low toxicity.","PeriodicalId":9026,"journal":{"name":"Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44913111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All reactions proceeded rapidly, and good product yields were obtained. Green synthesis in this study has many advantages over conventional synthesis, including a clean and environmentally friendly synthesis, easy operation, the elimination of hazardous organic solvents, a purification step free of chromatography, and the use of a non-corrosive and non-volatile catalyst. Furthermore, the method can be applied to single-tank reactions in a solvent-free environment.","PeriodicalId":9026,"journal":{"name":"Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45117319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having the potential uses in our everyday life, graph theory has become one of the most iconic and discussed areas of applied mathematics. Chemical graph theory (CGT) is a branch of graph theory that incorporates chemical aspects. The topological index (TI) is a well-defined graph-theoretical tool that offers a mathematical relationship with molecular structures and also characterizes their topology. TI has real-time applications such as isomer discrimination, drug design, QSPR, and QSAR studies in various domains of chemistry, including nanotechnology and biochemistry. Herein, seven closed neighborhood TIs are investigated. Using QSPR regression analysis, the chemical signature of the indices in predicting the physicochemical properties of priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is explored.

The experiment was conducted during the 2020 harvest at the State University of Rio Grande do Sul, Cachoeira do Sul, Brazil. A completely randomized design (CRD) in a 3x6 factorial scheme with four replications was applied. Yield components and grain yield were established. Furthermore, the physicochemical characterization of wheat siliqua biomass was executed based on subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH). Gluten and mass analysis was established. Appropriately, the grain yield was up to 3197.05 kg/ ha for the Sossego cultivar with the N dose of 40 kg/ ha. Up to 0.84 g reducing sugars/ 100 g wheat siliqua was obtained based on the SWH. Finally, this study promoted N management as a key factor in increasing grain yield. This scenario reports the importance of the association of PGPRs as a fundamental promoter of N for plants to express their maximum potential.","PeriodicalId":9026,"journal":{"name":"Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45979045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This illness is a serious public health issue since it can result in mutilation, incapacity, and even death. The drugs currently used for treatment are highly toxic, ineffective, expensive, and may cause antiparasitic resistance. A series of twenty-five 2-methoxy benzoyl hydrazone derivatives have recently been identified as promising antileishmanial inhibitors and was addressed using a molecular docking approach. All docked compounds interacted well within the active pocket of the receptor. Compounds M12, M15, M16, and M20 show a good binding energy value of -9.40, -8.90, -9.00, and -9.20 Kcal/mol, respectively, compared to pentamidine (-8.20 Kcal/mol), used as reference drug. These molecules also present many types and numbers of interactions with the studied receptor. The studied molecules were evaluated for their pharmacokinetic properties using ADMET prediction. They showed good bioavailability, particularly the molecules M12, M15, and M16 which were found to be non-toxic. Quantum calculations using the DFT approach were performed on the four selected compounds to determine the most electrophilic and nucleophilic of them.

Towards this, in this research, we investigated the anticancer effects of Galloflavin (GF), an LDHB inhibitor, in reducing the proliferation of MDA-MB-231, the human triple-negative breast cancer cells. To enhance the uptake of GF, we applied electrical pulses (EP) with GF and studied its protein profile characteristics and viability. We used GF at a concentration of 100μM with 800V/cm, 100μs, and eight electrical pulses to treat these cells. Label-free, high throughput, quantitative proteomics results indicated that 172 proteins were significantly downregulated, while 222 proteins were significantly upregulated. The upregulated proteins include Cytochrome C Oxidase Assembly Factor and Mitochondrial Ribosomal proteins. Key downregulated proteins include LDHB, and ENO1 in EP+GF treatments, compared to GF only, indicating the effect of EP+GF combination in reducing the proliferation of the TNBC cells.

Also, the new compounds were docked to the active site of the DNA gyrase B chain enzyme, and the suitable binding interactions were displayed according to their bond lengths and conformational energies. The structure-activity relationship analysis showed that the antimicrobial activity could be modulated by the existence of anthracene moiety, electron-withdrawing groups, and amide linkage. In silico ADMET (absorption, metabolic, distribution, toxicity, and excretion) predictions for the compounds 1-7 were calculated to gain insight into their pharmacokinetics, safety, and drug-likeness profile.
