Antioxidant activity of selenenamide-based mimic as a function of the aromatic thiols nucleophilicity, a DFT-SAPE model

Antioxidant properties, anti- SARS-CoV-2 study, collagenase and elastase inhibition effects, anti-human lung cancer potential of some phenolic compounds

Lung cancer is one of the main reasons for death worldwide. The natural compounds with anti-lung cancer potential are of main interest and are considered a very promising alternative to replace or raise the efficiency of conventional drugs. Diethylstilbestrol, Enterodiol, Enterolactone, Flavokawain A, Flavokawain B, and Flavokawain C compounds showed excellent to good inhibitory activities against studied these enzymes with IC₅₀ values in ranging between 9.66 ± 1.52 to 121.20 ± 15.87 μM for collagenase and 11.06 ± 1.87 to 27.31 ± 4.673 μM for elastase. Also, these compounds had In vitro anti-lung cancer activities. Comparison of the chemical and biological activities of the studied molecules was made by theoretical calculations. Gaussian sofware program was used for chemical activity. The Maestro molecular docking calculations were made to compare their biochemical activities. Afterwards, ADME/T calculations of the molecules were made.

Anti-human Glioma Cancer Potentials of Neobavaisoflavone as Natural Antioxidant Compound and Its Inhibition Profiles for Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Enzymes with Molecular Modeling and Spin Density Distributions Studies

In this study, the carcinogenic potential of Neobavaisoflavone as a natural antioxidant compound and the inhibitory profiles of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase were investigated by molecular modeling and spin density distribution studies. To evaluate the antioxidant properties of neobavaisoflavone, DPPH test was performed in the presence of butyl hydroxytoluene as a control. Neobavaisoflavone cell viability was low compared to normal human glioma cancer cell lines, namely LN-229, U-87 and A-172 cell lines, without any effect of cytotoxicity on normal cell line. Neobavaisoflavone inhibited half of DPPH at 125 μg/mL. The best effects of Neobavaisoflavone antihypertensive glioma against the above cell lines were in the LN-229 cell line. In addition, the significant anti-cancer potential of human glioma Neobavaisoflavone against the popular human glioma cancer cell lines is related in this study. IC₅₀ values were calculated by Neobavaisoflavone diagrams, 63.87 nM for AChE and 112.98 nM for BuChE, % Activity- [Inhibitor]. According to the above results, Neobavaisoflavone can be used to treat a variety of human glioma cancers in humans. In addition, molecular modeling calculations were performed to compare the biochemical activities of the Neobavaisoflavone molecule with enzymes. After molecular insertion calculations, ADME/T analysis was performed to investigate the properties of the neobavaisoflavone molecule, which will be used as a drug in the future. Then, different parameters for the antioxidant activity of the neobavaisoflavone molecule were calculated.
