[PMID: 35873340 PMCID: PMC9241362 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra02526d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
This study reports the preparation of a new material that can remove synthetic dyes and trace metals simultaneously. A new coumarin derivative was synthesized and its chemical structure was inferred from spectral data (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). Meanwhile, chitosan nanoparticles (CsNPs) were prepared then used as a carrier for two different concentrations of the coumarin derivative (C1@CsNPs and C2@CsNPs). The TEM, SEM and DLS findings illustrated that the prepared nanocomposites exhibited spherical shape and small size (less than 200 nm). The performance of the prepared material for the removal of an anionic dye (direct red 31, DR31) and cationic trace metal (Pb2+) was evaluated in unary and binary systems. The results revealed that complete removal of 10 mg L-1 of DR31 and Pb2+ in unary system was achieved at pHo 3.0 and 5.5 using 0.5 and 2.0 g L-1, respectively, of C2@CsNPs. The adsorption of DR31 and Pb2+ followed different mechanisms as deduced from the effect of pHo, kinetic, isotherm and binary adsorption studies. The adsorption of DR31 followed the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. While, the adsorption of Pb2+ followed Freundlich isotherm model and Elovich kinetic model. In the binary system, the co-presence of DR31 and Pb2+ did not affect the adsorption of each other's. Overall, the prepared material showed promising results for the removal of anionic dyes and cations trace metals from contaminated water.

[PMID: 35288962 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE The main objective of this review is to highlight the most relevant studies since 1990 (to date) in the area of medicinal chemistry aspects to provide a panoramic view to the biologists/medicinal chemists working in this area and would assist them in their efforts to design, synthesize and extract (from natural source) coumarin-based anticonvulsant agents. Also, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies are also discussed for further rational design of this kind of derivatives. It is hoped that this review will be helpful for new thoughts in the quest for rational designs of more active and less toxic coumarin-based antiepileptic agents. METHODS A literature review emphasizing the application of coumarin core as antiepileptic agents identify articles related to the topic; we performed a standardized search from 1990 to November 2021, using search engines like Scifinder, web of Science, Pubmed and Scopus. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This review gives an overview of attempts to shed light and compile published reports on coumarin derivatives along with some opinions on different approaches to help the medicinal chemists in designing future generation potent yet safer anticonvulsant agents. The possible structure-activity relationships (SARs) will also be discussed to indicate the direction for the rational design of more effective candidates. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The findings from this review provide new indications or directions for the discovery of new and better drugs from synthetic and naturally occurring coumarins as antiepileptic agents. In our review, we have tried to depict the recent researches which made in the design and development of novel anticonvulsant compounds with coumarin nucleus. Also, SAR of expressed derivatives indicated that the choice of a fitting substitution containing electron-withdrawing/donating groups to coumarin or with some heterocyclic moieties joined to parent coumarin skeleton assumes an essential role in changing the anticonvulsant activity of synthesized derivatives. These findings encourage the scientific community towards the optimization of the pharmacological profile of this structural moiety as an important scaffold for the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract
We investigated the antihyperlipidemic effects of tyrosol in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with STZ (40 mg/kg), and these established experimental rats were treated with tyrosol (20 mg/kg) and glibenclamide (600 µg/kg) for 45 days. The observed results revealed that tyrosol treatment significantly reduced plasma glucose, plasma, and liver total cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids, plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, atherogenic index, and significantly increased plasma insulin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in STZ-induced diabetic rats. The activity of 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase significantly reduced in the liver, whereas the activities of lipoprotein lipase and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase were significantly increased in the plasma of tyrosol treated STZ-induced diabetic rats. Histological examination showed that tyrosol treatment remarkably reduced lipid accumulation in the liver of STZ-induced diabetic rats. The present study revealed that tyrosol exhibits potent antihyperlipidemic effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the cardioprotective effect of new synthesized coumarin (E)-4-hydroxy-N'-(1-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) ethylidene) benzohydrazide denoted (Hyd.Cou) against myocardial infarction disorders. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups; Control, isoproterenol (ISO), ISO + Acenocoumarol (Ac) and ISO + Hyd.Cou. Results showed that the ISO group exhibited serious alteration in EGC pattern, significant heart hypertrophy (+33%), haemodynamic disturbance and increase in plasma rate of CK-MB, LDH and troponin-T by 44, 53, and 170%, respectively, as compared to Control. Moreover, isoproterenol induced a rise in plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme activity (ACE) by 49%, dyslipidaemia, and increased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) by 117% associated with decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) by 46% and 58%, respectively in myocardium. Interestingly, the molecular docking calculation demonstrated strong interactions of Hyd.Cou with the receptors of the protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) which could highlight the antithrombotic effect. Moreover, Hyd.Cou improved plasma cardiac dysfunction biomarkers, mitigated the ventricle remodelling process and alleviated heart oxidative stress damage. Overall, Hyd.Cou prevented the heart from the remodelling process through inhibition of ACE activity and oxidative stress improvement.

Abstract
According to WHO report, globally about 10 million active tuberculosis cases, resulting in about 1.6 million deaths, further aggravated by drug-resistant tuberculosis and/or comorbidities with HIV and diabetes are present. Incomplete therapeutic regimen, meager dosing, and the capability of the latent and/or active state tubercular bacilli to abide and do survive against contemporary first-line and second line antitubercular drugs escalate the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. As a better understanding of tuberculosis, microanatomy has discovered an extended range of new promising antitubercular targets and diagnostic biomarkers. However, there are still no new approved antitubercular drugs of routine therapy for several decades, except for bedaquiline, delamanid, and pretomanid approved tentatively. Despite this, innovative methods are also urgently needed to find potential new antitubercular drug candidates, which potentially decimate both latent state and active state mycobacterium tuberculosis. To explore and identify the most potential antitubercular drug candidate among various reported compounds, we focused to highlight the promising lead derivatives of isoniazid, coumarin, griselimycin, and the antimicrobial peptides. The aim of the present review is to fascinate significant lead compounds in the development of potential clinical drug candidates that might be more precise and effective against drug-resistant tuberculosis, the world research looking for a long time.

Abstract
The current study was aimed to assess the protective effect of a new molecule (E)-N'-(1-(3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide, denoted 1c, against cardiac remodeling process in isoproterenol (Isop) induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, control, Isop (85 mg/kg body weight was injected subcutaneously into rats at an interval of 24 h for 2 days (6th and 7th day) to induce MI and pretreated animals with acenocoumarol (Ace) (150 μg/kg bw) and 1c (150 μg/kg bw) by oral administration during 7 days and injected with isoproterenol (Isop + Ace) and (Isop + 1c) groups. Results in vitro showed that 1c is endowed with potent inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with an IC50 39.12 μg/ml. The in vivo exploration evidenced alteration in the ECG pattern, notable cardiac hypertrophy and increase in plasma level of fibrinogen, troponin-T, CK-MB and LDH, AST and ALT by 171%, 300%, 50%, 64% and 75% respectively with histological myocardium necrosis and cells inflammatory infiltration. However, pre-treatment with 1c improved the ECG pattern reduced significantly the cardiac dysfunction markers and ameliorated the thrombolytic process by decreasing fibrinogen level as compared to untreated infracted rats. Overall, (E)-N'-(1-(3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide 1c could be used as anticoagulant agent to prevent thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction.

OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:2432918.

Abstract
The present study was directed to investigate the effect of precotreatment with (E)-N'-(1-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) ethylidene) benzohydrazide (7-hyd.HC), a novel potent synthesized coumarin, on isoproterenol- (ISO-) induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. The hydrazone compound was characterized by IR, 1D, and 2D NMR analyses. Experimental induction of MI in rats was established by ISO (85 mg/kg/day, s.c) for two consecutive days (6th and 7th days). 7-hyd.HC or sintrom was given for 7 days prior and simultaneous to ISO injection. 7-hyd.HC offered a cardiopreventive effect by preventing heart injury marker leakage (LDH, ALT, AST, CK-MB, and cTn-I) from cardiomyocytes and normalizing cardiac function and ECG pattern, as well as improving lipid profile (TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C), which were altered by ISO administration. Moreover, 7-hyd.HC precotreatment significantly mitigated the oxidative stress biomarkers, as evidenced by the decrease of lipid peroxidation and the increased level of the myocardial GSH level together with the SOD, GSH-Px, and catalase activities. 7-hyd.HC inhibited the cardiac apoptosis by upregulating the expression of Bcl-2 and downregulating the expression of Bax and caspase-3 genes. In addition, 7-hyd.HC reduced the elevated fibrinogen rate and better prevented the myocardial necrosis and improved the interstitial edema and neutrophil infiltration than sintrom. Overall, 7-hyd.HC ameliorated the severity of ISO-induced myocardial infarction through improving the oxidative status, attenuating apoptosis, and reducing fibrinogen production. The 7-hyd.HC actions could be mediated by its antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory capacities.

Abstract
Looking through a historical lens, attention to the stabilization of pharmaceutical proteins/peptides has been dramatically increased. Human insulin is the most challenging and the most widely used pharmaceutical protein in the world. In this study, the protein and coumarin as a plant-derived phenolic compound and two coumarin analogs with different moieties were investigated to evaluate the protein fibrillation and cytotoxicity. The obtained data showed that with a change in environmental pH, the behavior of the compounds on the process of insulin fibrillation will be changed completely. Coumarin (C1) and its hydrophobic analog, 7-methyl coumarin (C2), in an acidic environment, inhibit insulin fibrillation, change the oligomerization state of insulin and produce fibrils with notable lateral interactions with low cytotoxicity. However, negatively-charged 3-trifluoromethyl coumarin (C3) without significant changes in insulin structure and by altering the oligomerization state of the protein, slightly accelerates hormone fibrillation. Also, the compounds showed a disulfide protecting role during protein aggregation. Regarding the toxicity of the fibrils, it was observed that in addition to the secondary structures of proteinous fibrils, the ability to destroy the cell membrane is also related to the length of the fibrils and their degree of lateral interactions. By and large, this work can be useful in finding a better formulation for bio-pharmaceutical macro-molecules. The effect of the applied compounds on insulin fibrillation at two pHs. By and large, the compounds through changing the oligomerization states and altering structure integrity of insulin can govern the fibrillation process.![]()

Abstract
An increasing line of evidence confirmed that apart from conventional hypoglycemic drugs, diet and medicinal plants have beneficial effects on diabetes. Capparis spinosa L. (Caper) is a perennial shrub in the Capparidaceae family. It grows in different regions of the world, particularly in Asian and African countries. A wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic effects have been reported for this plant. In this review, it is focused on beneficial effects of C. spinosa on diabetes. Several studies have showed the antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic activities of C. spinosa. The putative mechanisms involved in the antihyperglycemic effects of C. spinosa include reducing carbohydrate absorption from the small intestine, inhibiting gluconeogenesis in the liver, enhancing glucose uptake by tissues, and beta cell protection/regeneration. This plant also ameliorates cardiovascular disorders, liver damage, and nephropathy in animal models of diabetes, which are attributed to its antioxidant phytochemicals such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherols, and terpenes. Antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic activities of C. spinose, along with its beneficial effects on diabetic complications, make it a good candidate for the management of diabetes. Well-designed clinical trials are necessary to define the advantages and disadvantages of C. spinose for diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Even with great advances in modern medicine and therapeutic agent development, the search for effective antidiabetic drugs remains challenging. Coumarins are secondary metabolites found widely in nature plants and used mainly in anticoagulation and antithrombotic therapy. Over the past two decades, however, there has been an increasing body of literatures related to the effects of coumarins and their derivatives on diabetes and its complications. This review aimed to focus on research findings concerning the effects of coumarins against diabetes and its complications using in-vitro and in-vivo animal models, and also to discuss cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. KEY FINDINGS The search for new coumarins against diabetes and it complications, either isolated from traditional medicine or chemically synthesized, has been constantly expanding. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involved include protecting pancreatic beta cells from damage, improving abnormal insulin signalling, reducing oxidative stress/inflammation, activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), inhibiting α-glucosidases and ameliorating diabetic complications. CONCLUSIONS The effects and mechanisms of coumarins and their derivatives upon diabetes and its complications are discussed in current review. Further investigations remain to be carried out to develop a promising antidiabetic agent based on coumarin cores.

Abstract
In the present study, coumarin and some coumarin derivatives (esculetin, scoparone, and 4-methylumbelliferone) were investigated for their lipid-lowering effect in rats. Male Sprague–Dawley rats (150–200 g) were divided into six groups and each group comprised of five rats. Hepatic injury-dependent hyperlipidemia was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, 1.25 ml/kg). Coumarin and coumarin derivatives esculetin (35 mg/kg), scoparone (35 mg/kg), 4-methylumbelliferone (35 mg/kg), or coumarin (30 mg/kg) were administered to experimental groups at 12-h intervals. Animals received the derivatives esculetin, scoparone or 4-methylumbelliferone prior to the administration of a single toxic dose of CCl4. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels significantly increased in CCl4-treated group ( p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, and p < 0.05, respectively), while levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( p < 0.01). 4-Methylumbelliferone had no recovery effects on serum TC levels, however, significantly prevented CCl4-induced hyperlipidemia by reducing TG and VLDL-C levels ( p < 0.05 and p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, coumarin had no recovery effect on any of the serum lipid parameters against CCl4-induced hyperlipidemia. Among the coumarin derivatives only esculetin and scoparone significantly prevented serum HDL-C in CCl4-induced dyslipidemia. The results from this study indicate that the chemical structure of coumarins plays an important role on the regulation of serum lipid profiles.
