Phytochemical analysis and Enzyme Inhibition Assay of Aerva javanica for Ulcer

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Aerva javanica (Burm. f.) Juss. ex Schult. (Amaranthacea) is traditionally used for the treatment of wound healings, cough, diarrhoea, ulcer and hyperglycaemia. The current study was aimed to fractionate and isolate bioactive compounds and ultimately to evaluate their anti-ulcereogenic potential. RESULTS: In order to achieve these aims, the fractionation, purifications and then biological potential determination of the isolated compounds was carried out. For purification purpose, initially extraction of the plant material was done with aqueous MeOH in the order of increasing polarity by using solvent-solvent extraction method. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of three compounds, 3-hydroxy-4 methoxybenzaldehyde (1), ursolic acid (2) and (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-ethoxyphenyl) acryl amide (3). Inhibition of urease activity of various fractions revealed that ethyl acetate fraction showed significant activity (P <0.05) as compared to other fractions. (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenethyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-ethoxyphenyl) acryl amide (3) showed marked anti ulcer activity (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggested the mild potential of A. javanica against ulcer.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 2-(1-alkylpiperidin-4-yl)-n-[(1r)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropyl]acetamide Derivatives as Novel Antihypertensive Agents

We synthesized and evaluated the inhibitory activity of a series of 2-(1-alkylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-[(1R)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropyl]acetamide derivatives against T-type Ca(2+) channels. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the position of the amide structure was important for the potent inhibitory activity toward T-type Ca(2+) channels. In addition, the introduction of an appropriate substituent on the pendant benzene ring played a crucial role for the selectivity towards T-type Ca(2+) channels over L-type Ca(2+) channels and the potent bradycardic activity of these derivatives. Oral administration of N-[(1R)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropyl]-2-(1-{2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)phenyl]ethyl}piperidin-4-yl)acetamide (4f), which had superior selectivity for T-type Ca(2+) channels over L-type Ca(2+) channels, lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats without inducing reflex tachycardia, which is often caused by traditional L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers.

Polyfluoro-1,2-epoxy alkanes and cycloalkanes. Part IV [1]. Thermal reactions of the epoxides of the pentamer and hexamer oligomers of tetrafluoroethene

Oxirans (1) and (2), derived respectively from the pentamer and hexamer oligomers of tetrafluoroethene, were pyrolysed over pyrex glass at 300–500° alone and in the presence of cyclohexene, bromine and toluene. Thus, oxiran (1), pyrolysed alone, afforded perfluoro-2-methylbut-1-ene (3), perfluoro-2,3-dimethylpent-2-ene (4) and (E) and (Z) perfluoro-2,3-hex-3-ene (TFE tetramer) (5a, 5b). Co-pyrolysis of (1) with bromine afforded (E) and (Z) 2-bromoperfluoro-3-methylpent-2-ene (6a, 6b), whilst with toluene, (E) and (Z) 2H-perfluoro-3-methylpent-2-ene (7a, 7b) were obtained: (1) with excess cyclohexene also gave (7a, 7b). The oxiran (2), on pyrolysis alone, gave only (3). In the presence of bromine, (2) gave an equimolar mixture of 1-bromoperfluoro-3-methylpentan-2-one (8) and 3-bromoperfluoro-3-methylpentane (9). Co-pyrolysis of (2) with toluene yielded (3) and 3H-perfluoro-3-methylpentane (10). Pyrolysis of (2) with cyclohexene at 175° gave perfluoro-3-methyl-2-(1-methylpropyl)pent-2-en-1-oylfluoride (11), pentafluoroethylcyclohexane (12) and perfluoro[(1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl) (1-methylpropyl)]ketne (13).

These compounds were described using spectroscopy and the elemental analysis method. Researches were conducted into the luminous, Genetic code, catalytic, magnetism, and breaking attributes of the [GdCuL1-5(bpy)2(NO3)2] complexes. In DMF with 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate, the binuclear [GdCuL1-5(bpy)2(NO3)2] network complexes exhibit two one electron irreversible reduction events. VSM was used to calculate the complexes' magnetic susceptibility. There is ferromagnetic coupling in the [GdCuL1-5(bpy)2(NO3)2] complexes. The [GdCuL1-5(bpy)2(NO3)2] complexes' excited state lifetimes lengthen in the following order: [GdCuL5(bpy)₂] [GdCuL1(bpy)2(NO3)2] [GdCuL3(bpy)2(NO3)2] [GdCuL4(bpy)2] and [GdCuL2(bpy)2(NO3)2]. The binuclear [GdCuL1-5(bpy)2(NO3)2] complexes' inceptive rate of progress for oxidizing 1,2-benzenediol to cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione are longer chains with higher activity. Both the [GdCuL5(bpy)2(NO3)2] and [GdCuL4(bpy)2(NO3)2] complexes have strong DNA genetic code properties in the calf genus thymus. The complexes exhibit considerable singlet oxygen-mediated oxidative rift of circular recombinant plasmid pBR322 cloning vector in the existence of 2-sulfanylethanol.

Valine and phenylalanine as precursors in the biosynthesis of alkamides in Acmella radicans

Acmella radicans (Asteraceae) produces at least seven alkamides, most with either an isobutyl- or phenylethyl group as the amine moiety. These moieties suggest that the amino acids valine and phenylalanine are the biosynthetic precursors of these alkamides. On the basis of labeled feeding experiments using either L-[2H8]valine or L-[2H8]phenylalanine we present evidence for the involvement of these two amino acids in the biosynthesis of (2E,6Z,8E)-N-isobutyl-2,6,8-decatrienamide (affinin) (1), (2Z,4E)-N-(2-phenylethyl)-2,4-octadienamide (2), (2E)-N-(2-phenylethyl)-nona-2-en-6,8-diynamide (3), and 3-phenyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)-2-propenamide (4). Alkamides were isolated from young A. radicans plants and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Additionally, in cell free in vitro experiments based on isobutyl and phenylethylamide biosynthesis, using a colorimetric assay and GC-MS, valine and phenylalanine decarboxylase activities were assayed in the soluble extract of A. radicans leaves.     

Synthesis, structure, and biological activity of ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates

Seven ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates were synthesized. Coupling reactions of monosaccharide derivatives with ferrocene carbonyl chloride produced {6-N-(methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1-ferrocene carboxamide (3), {1-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose)}-1-ferrocene carboxylate (4), and {6-O-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose)}-1-ferrocene carboxylate (5). Similarly, 1,1'-bis(carbonyl chloride)ferrocene was coupled with the appropriate sugars to produce the disubstituted analogues bis{6-N-(methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxamide (8), bis{1-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (9), and bis{6-O-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (10). {6-N-(Methyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1-ferrocene carboxamide monohydrate (12) was synthesized via amide coupling of an activated ferrocenyl ester with the corresponding carbohydrate. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. X-ray crystallography confirmed the solid-state structure of three ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates: 2-N-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxamide (1), 1-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-1-thio-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxylate (2), and 12. The above compounds, along with bis{2-N-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxamide (6), bis{1-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-1-thio-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (7), and 2-N-(2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxamide (11) were examined for cytotoxicity in cell lines (L1210 and HTB-129) and for antimalarial activity in Plasmodium falciparum strains (D10, 3D7, and K1, a chloroquine-resistant strain). In general, the compounds were nontoxic in the human cell line tested (HTB-129), and compounds 4, 7, and 9 showed moderate antimalarial activity in one or more of the P. falciparum strains.
