(2024), NATURAL CINNAMIC ALDEHYDE ISOLATION FROM CINNAMONUM ZEYLANICUM: IN SILICO STUDIES (MOLECULAR DOCKING, DFT AND ADME). PROCEEDINGS OF II. INTERNATIONAL BIOLOGICAL & LIFE SCIENCES CONGRESS BIOLIC 2024

Résumé: Spices represent an abundant source of natural compounds possessing chemical properties of significant interest in both industry and pharmacology. In this context, our focus is directed towards an aromatic compound; Cinnamaldehyde. This natural active compound holds paramount significance owing to its wide range of biological effects, including antihyperglycemic properties, efficacy against bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds, and its potent antiinflammatory capabilities. Its isolation is accomplished through the application of various techniques to extracts and essential oils derived from Ceylon cinnamon, scientifically known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum. In this work, we have developed a method for isolation the Cinnamaldehyde using a Soxhlet device and an ultrasonic bath. The molecule was identified on the basis of organoleptic parameters, confirmed by structural infrared and LC/MS and RMN spectroscopic analysis. Isolation of cinnamic aldehyde is achieved by silica gel column chromatography of the EO (51%). The addition of sodium bisulphite precipitated the aldehyde, giving a yield of 74%. Theoretical approaches have been used to study the structure-biological activities relationship. DFT was used to predict chemical reactivity by calculating global (I, A, χ, μ, η, ω, S) and local parameters (such as Fukui parameters) of the cinnamaldehyde. The similarity to drugs is estimated by the values of molecules’s pharmacokinetic parameters given by the ADME study. In silico molecular docking predict the energy binding of complex formed with 3TZF enzym to evaluate it stability.

Résumé: Phthalimide and N-substituted phthalimide have a special structure that helps them to be pharmaceutically useful and biologically active. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of a synthetic phthalimide-containing derivative in an experimental asthma model. In vitro determination of antioxidant and chelating activity was carried out by spectrophotometric methods. The in vivo antioxidant activity was carried out in Wistar rats sensitized to ovalbumin in the experimental model of asthma. Our results reveal that that the synthesized N-sulfonylphthalimide molecule has a scavenging capacity against the free radical 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH•) and a chelating activity on ferrous ions and revealed its protective capacity against altered markers of oxidative stress in the experimental asthma model. All the previous results were confirmed by the result of the histopathological study of the liver. Moreover, neo-synthesized N-sulfonylphthalimide 2 showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with interesting MIC values. Finally, our study highlights the anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic and antibacterial effects of the N-sulfonylphthalimide molecule, which could potentially be a drug of choice in asthmatic pathology, especially during bacterial superinfections in the respiratory tract.

(2023), A Comparative Study of Novel Synthesized Sulfamide Compounds: Electrochemical, Morphological, XPS, and Theoretical Investigations on Copper Corrosion Inhibition in 1.0 M HCl. Journal of Molecular Liquids

Résumé: This study investigates the corrosion inhibition performance of N-phenyl sulfamide (NPS) and N-phenyl piperazine sulfamide (NPPS) for copper in a solution of 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) through a comprehensive combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. Electrochemical methods (polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)), characterization techniques (FTIR, ATR, SEM and XPS investigations), and theoretical calculations are employed to analyze the inhibitive properties and provide insights on how the inhibitors and copper surface interact. Results from polarization and EIS analyses reveal that NPS and NPPS, both at a concentration of 400 mg L-1 , deliver substantial corrosion inhibition, achieving rates of 92.33% and 98.70% for polarization, and 93.60% and 96.51% for EIS, respectively, which gives NPPS an advantage over the other inhibitor with high inhibitor efficiency. SEM and XPS investigations confirm the adsorption of these inhibitors to the copper surface, resulting in a notably smoother and more uniform appearance with minimal damage, especially for NPPS. Theoretical calculations employing the DFT-B3LYP method provide valuable insights into the molecular properties of NPS and NPPS. These simulations support the outcomes of the tests and give insight into how NPPS inhibitor act as stronger inhibitor compared with NPS inhibitor. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of corrosion protection mechanisms and offers crucial information in order to establish robust copper corrosion inhibitors for acidic conditions.

Résumé: The inclusion complex of acylsulfonamide (ASL) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was explored experimentally and by molecular modeling studies. The stoichiometric ratio of the complex was found to be 1 : 1 and the stability constant was evaluated using the Benesi–Hildebrand equation. Estimation of the thermodynamic parameters of the inclusion complex in vacuum demonstrates that it is an enthalpy driven process phase and an enthalpy–entropy simultaneous process in aqueous solution, which is consistent with the experimental results. Semi-empirical calculations using PM6 and ONIOM2 methods, in vacuum and in water, were undertaken and done. The energetically more favorable structure obtained with the ONIOM2 method leads to the rise of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between acylsulfonamide and β-cyclodextrin. These interactions were probed using the natural bond orbital (NBO).

Résumé: nteractions of methoxyphenyl N-sulfamoyloxazolidinone (SOZ) with Cu(II) and Co(II) ions in ethanol at 25 °C were studied experimentally using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The data processing with a nonlinear least square fitting allowed the determination of stoichiometries, stability constants of the complexes and species distribution diagrams for each complex against ligand concentration. The solid-state complexes were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR,¹ HNMR, thermogravimetric analysis techniques (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to account for the thermal decomposition of Cu(II) complex. DFT study was performed to obtain insights on SOZ: Cu(II) and/or Co(II) interaction. First, the predicted structural properties of the ligand were compared with the experimental ones obtained from crystallographic data. DFT calculations were performed at B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, B2PLYP and B2PLYP-D3 levels with the same 6–311++G(d,p) basis set and consequently the performance of each exchange functional was tested in the structural properties prediction. Also, global and local chemical reactivity parameters were computed. The most stable metal complexes (1:2) were optimized at B3LYP level in ethanol medium with the CPCM model. Computed FT-IR spectra and TD-DFT results agree with the corresponding experimental data. The interactions were also analyzed and characterized by NBO, MEP and NLO. Finally, a molecular docking was performed to investigate the relative biological activities of the ligand alone and of the metal complexes.

Résumé: Genotoxic property of four new antibacterial sulfonamides 1a-d has been evaluated in this study using two standards genotoxicity assays: the Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity assay or Ames test based on the use of Salmonella strains TA100, TA98 and TA1535, treated with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix fraction) and the SOS ChromtestTM Kit assay using Escherichia coli PQ 37. From the results of the Ames test we note that only 1c (N-(phenyl) sulfamide) showed no genotoxic effect, contrary to 1a [(N-(4-methoxyphenyl) sulfamide], 1b [(N-(3-fluorophenyl) sulfamide] and 1d [(N-(phenylethyl) sulfamide] that have showed genotoxic effect with and without metabolic activation. Results of the SOS Chromotest confirmed these obtained with the Ames test. Sulfonamides 2d-f, expressed the genotoxic potential by stimulating the production of β-galactosidase.

Résumé: The stability constants (βij) and the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG°) of the complexes between diethyl phenyl (N-phenylsulfamoylamino) methyl phosphonate with Cu(II) and/or Zn(II) ions were determined by UV-visible spectrophotometric measurements in methanol at room temperature. The stable (1:2) solid-state mononuclear complexes were synthesised and characterised by FTIR, 1H-NMR, elemental analysis and magnetic moment measurements. In the DFT study, the predicted structural parameters with four exchange-correlation functionals were compared with experimental data. Their performance in predicting the vibration frequencies was also tested. Subsequently, with the best functionals thus obtained, calculations were performed on the most stable (1:2) complexes to obtain information on their structures and properties. The most stable geometrical structure, structural parameters …

(2022), Synthesis and Evaluation of Some New 4H-Pyran Derivatives as Antioxidant, Antibacterial and Anti-HCT-116 Cells of CRC, with Molecular Docking …. Pharmaceuticals : MDPI,

Résumé: Colorectal cancer oncogenesis is linked to dysbiosis, oxidative stress and overexpression of CDK2. The 4H-pyran scaffold is considered an antitumoral, antibacterial and antioxidant lead as well as a CDK2 inhibitor. Herein, certain 4H-pyran derivatives were evaluated as antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic agents against HCT-116 cells. Derivatives 4g and 4j inhibited all the tested Gram-positive isolates, except for B. cereus (ATCC 14579), with lower IC50 values (µM) than ampicillin. In addition, 4g and 4j demonstrated the strongest DPPH scavenging and reducing potencies, with 4j being more efficient than BHT. In cell viability assays, 4d and 4k suppressed the proliferation of HCT-116 cells, with the lowest IC50 values being 75.1 and 85.88 µM, respectively. The results of molecular docking simulations of 4d and 4k, inhibitory kinase assays against CDK2, along with determination of CDK2 protein concentration and the expression level of CDK2 gene in the lysates of HCT-116 treated cells, suggested that these analogues blocked the proliferation of HCT-116 cells by inhibiting kinase activity and downregulating expression levels of CDK2 protein and gene. Moreover, 4d and 4k were found to induce apoptosis in HCT-116 cells via activation of the caspase-3 gene. Lastly, compounds 4g, 4j, 4d and 4k were predicted to comply with Lipinski’s rule of five, and they are expected to possess excellent physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties suitable for in vivo bioavailability, as predicted by the SwissADME web tool.
