PG - 96-105 LID - 10.1016/j.cbi.2012.05.010 [doi] AB - The study was designed to explore the biochemical influence of non bonding nitrogen interactions (Ncdots, three dots, centeredSe/S) on organochalcogens potency. Approximately five and six times higher thiol peroxidase (TPx) like activity was observed for compound (C)-2 than C-1 and C-3, respectively. C-2 also displayed significantly (p<0.05) higher activity in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and deoxyribose degradation assays. All compounds, except C-4 and C-6 significantly inhibited Fe (II) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) induced thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) production in rat's brain, liver and kidney preparations with highest activity observed for C-2. The highest C-2 activity was attributed to the presence of non-bonded nitrogen interactions which were absent in C-1 and blocked with butoxycarbonyl (BOC group) in C-3. The same structural activity analogy was extended to organosulfur compounds and it was observed that compound with non-bonding nitrogen interactions, i.e. C-5 has significantly (p<0.05) higher TPx like activity than C-6 and C-4. C-5 at the highest tested concentration significantly (p<0.05) protected against Fe (II) and SNP induced TBARS formation in rat's brain, kidney and liver preparations but did not display activity in DPPH and deoxyribose degradation assays. This study confirms the influence of not only Ncdots, three dots, centeredSe interaction but also for the first time the effect of non bonded Ncdots, three dots, centeredS interactions on organochalcogens potency. C-2 (with the highest activity) was also tested in vivo and was administered at three different doses, i.e. 15, 30 and 50 mg/kg to get an exact idea about its interaction with thiol containing molecules (NPSH) and enzyme alpha-ALA-D (sulfhydryl containing enzyme). Oxidative stress parameters, i.e. free radical concentration by dichlorofluoreseein (DCF) assay, TBARS, ascorbic acid level, hepatic (ALT and AST) and renal (urea and creatinine) toxicity markers were also estimated to get an insight about its possible toxicological profile. Our data indicates that C-2 has higher TPx and Antioxidant activity and importantly, C2 did not induce toxicity even when tested at relatively high doses, indicating that its pharmacological properties should be further explored in models of diseases associated with oxidative stress.
