The ability of flavonoids to affect multiple key pathways of glucose toxicity, as well as to attenuate inflammation has been well documented. In this study, the inhibition of rat lens aldose reductase by 3,7-di-hydroxy-2-[4-(2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone-3-yloxy)-3-hydroxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-chromen-4-one (compound 1), was studied in greater detail in comparison with the parent quercetin (compound 2). The inhibition activity of 1, characterized by IC50 in low micromolar range, surpassed that of 2. Selectivity in relation to the closely related rat kidney aldehyde reductase was evaluated. At organ level in isolated rat lenses incubated in the presence of high glucose, compound 1 significantly inhibited accumulation of sorbitol in a concentration-dependent manner, which indicated that 1 was readily taken up by the eye lens cells and interfered with cytosolic aldose reductase. In addition, compound 1 provided macroscopic protection of colonic mucosa in experimental colitis in rats. At pharmacologically active concentrations, compound 1 and one of its potential metabolite 2-chloro-3-hydroxy[1,4]-naphthoquinone (compound 3) did not affect osmotic fragility of red blood cells.

Synthesis of 2-aziridinyl phosphonates by modified Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and their antibacterial activities
Doğan, Özdemir; Gözen, Ayşe Gül (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01)
A set of new aziridinyl phosphonates (4a-g) were synthesized by using the Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and its modified version developed in this study and their structures confirmed by HRMS, IR. and NMR spectra. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity. They all showed comparable moderate to good growth inhibitory activity in reference to ampicillin and streptomycin.

Synthesis of new derivatives of boehmeriasin A and their biological evaluation in liver cancer
Guzelcan, Ece Akhan; Baxendale, Ian R.; Atalay, Rengül; Baumann, Marcus (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-15)
Two series of boehmeriasin A analogs have been synthesized in short and high yielding processes providing derivatives differing either in the alkaloid's pentacyclic scaffold or its peripheral substitution pattern. These series have enabled, for the first time, comparative studies into key biological properties revealing a new lead compound with exceptionally high activity against liver cancer cell lines in the picomolar range for both well (Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2) and poorly (Mahlavu, FOCUS and SNU475) diffe...

The synthesis and inhibitory potencies against botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light chain (BoNT/A LC) using in vitro HPLC based enzymatic assay for various steroidal, benzothiophene, thiophene, and adamantane 4-aminoquinoline derivatives are described. In addition, the compounds were evaluated for the activity against BoNT/A holotoxin in mouse embryonic stem cell derived motor neurons. Steroidal derivative 16 showed remarkable protection (up to 89% of uncleaved SNAP-25) even when administered 30 min postin...
Comparison of trace metal concentrations in malign and benign human prostate
Yaman, Mehmet; Atici, Demet; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Akdeniz, Ismail (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2005-01-27)
Imbalance in the composition of trace metals, recognized to be essential to normal human homeostasis, besides the accumulation of potentially toxic or nonessential trace metals, may cause disease. Thus, there is a need for their analysis in cancerous and noncancerous human tissues to examine the relationship between cancer and these elements. Trace metal concentrations including Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mg, and Ca in both malign and benign prostate samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. ...
Nicotine Normalizes Intracellular Subunit Stoichiometry of Nicotinic Receptors Carrying Mutations Linked to Autosomal Dominant Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy
Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Cohen, Bruce N.; Lester, Henry A. (American Society for Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), 2009-05-01)
Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is linked with high penetrance to several distinct nicotinic receptor (nAChR) mutations. We studied (alpha 4)(3)(beta 2)(2) versus (alpha 4)(2)(beta 2)(3) subunit stoichiometry for five channel-lining M2 domain mutations: S247F, S252L, 776ins3 in alpha 4, V287L, and V287M in beta 2. alpha 4 and beta 2 subunits were constructed with all possible combinations of mutant and wild-type (WT) M2 regions, of cyan and yellow fluorescent protein, and of fluo...
