Exploring new histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors and their effects on reversing the α-tubulin deacetylation and cell morphology changes caused by methamphetamine
Arch Pharm Res. 2023 Sep 30. doi: 10.1007/s12272-023-01467-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndazole-based HDAC6 inhibitors with novel zinc-binding modifications were synthesized and evaluated to determine their potential to inhibit HDAC6. The analogs were subjected to a histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzyme assay, which led to identification of compounds 3a and 3b. Both compounds demonstrated higher potency and selectivity as HDAC6 inhibitors with IC50 values of 9.1 nM and 9.0 nM, respectively, and highlighted the importance of the hydroxamic acid moiety for binding to Zn2+ inside the catalytic pocket of HDAC enzymes. In the ...

Artemongolins A-K, undescribed germacrane-guaiane sesquiterpenoid dimers from Artemisia mongolica and their antihepatoma activities
Arch Pharm Res. 2023 Sep 28. doi: 10.1007/s12272-023-01466-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArtemongolins A-K (1-11), which are undescribed sesquiterpenoid dimers, were obtained from Artemisia mongolica and characterized through comprehensive spectral data, including HRESIMS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD calculations. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 4, and 7 were undoubtedly determined by a single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Artemongolins A-K (1-11) featured a rare 5/7/5/5/5/10 hexacyclic system composed of a germacrene and a guaianolide by a fused 2-oxaspiro[4,4]nonane-1-one ring system. Antihepatoma evaluati...

Anti-osteoporosis effects of triterpenoids from the fruit of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) through the promotion of osteoblast differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells, C3H10T1/2
Arch Pharm Res. 2023 Sep 26. doi: 10.1007/s12272-023-01468-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn a previous study, we discovered that the ethanolic extract of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) fruits exhibited anti-osteoporosis effects both in vitro and in vivo. Through bioassay-guided fractionation, we identified the hexane fraction (HRH) as the active fraction, which was further fractionated using preparative HPLC. Among the resulting six fractions, HRHF4 showed significant activity. In the present study, we focused on the bioassay-guided isolation of bioactive compounds from the HRHF4 fraction. We successfully identifi...

Multifaceted roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in diseases: from powerhouses to saboteurs
Arch Pharm Res. 2023 Sep 26. doi: 10.1007/s12272-023-01465-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe fact that mitochondria play a crucial part in energy generation has led to the nickname "powerhouses" of the cell being applied to them. They also play a significant role in many other cellular functions, including calcium signalling, apoptosis, and the creation of vital biomolecules. As a result, cellular function and health as a whole can be significantly impacted by mitochondrial malfunction. Indeed, malignancies frequently have increased levels of mitochondrial biogenesis and quality control. Adverse selection exists for har...

Hyperoside attenuates pyrrolizidine alkaloids-induced liver injury by ameliorating TFEB-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction
In conclusion, Hyp can activate the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosomal pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis through inhibition of mTORC1 activity, alleviating the liver injury induced by PAs, thus suggesting the potential value of Hyp in the treatment of PA-induced hepatotoxicity.PMID:37733287 | DOI:10.1007/s12272-023-01460-3 (Source: Archives of Pharmacal Research)
