Combination of a Chaperone Synthesis Inducer and an Inhibitor of GAPDH Aggregation for Rehabilitation after Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study.

The recovery period after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often complicated by secondary damage that may last for days or even months after trauma. Two proteins, Hsp70 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), were recently described as modulating post-traumatic processes, and in this study, we test them as targets for combination therapy using an inhibitor of GAPDH aggregation (derivative of hydrocortisone RX624) and an inducer of Hsp70 synthesis (the pyrrolylazine derivative PQ-29). The protective effect of the combination on C6 rat glioblastoma cells treated with the cerebrospinal fluid of traumatized animals resulted in an increase in the cell index and in a reduced level of apoptosis.

Indolylazine Derivative Induces Chaperone Expression in Aged Neural Cells and Prevents the Progression of Alzheimer's Disease.

The risk of progression of most sporadic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, increases with age. Traditionally, this is associated with a decrease in the efficiency of cell protection systems, in particular, molecular chaperones. Thus, the development of small molecules able to induce the synthesis of chaperones is a promising therapeutic approach to prevent neural diseases associated with ageing.

Dataset of NMR-spectra pyrrolyl- and indolylazines and evidence of their ability to induce heat shock genes expression in human neurons.

These data are related to our previous paper "Synthesis and approbation of new neuroprotective chemicals of pyrrolyl- and indolylazine classes in a cell model of Alzheimer's disease" (Dutysheva et al., 2021), in which we demonstrate neuroprotective abilities of pyrrolyl- and indolylazines in a cell model of Alzheimer's disease. Using a novel procedure of photocatalysis we have synthesized a group of new compounds.

Oxidative C-H/C-H Coupling of Dipyrromethanes with Azines by TiO-Based Photocatalytic System. Synthesis of New BODIPY Dyes and Their Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties.

Oxidative C-H/C-H coupling reactions of dipyrromethanes with azines in the presence of a heterophase oxidative photocatalytic system (O/TiO/visible light irradiation) were carried out. As a result of cyclization of obtained compounds with boron trifluoride etherate, new hetaryl-containing derivatives of 4,4-difluoro-4-boron-3,4-diaza--indacene were synthesized. For the obtained compounds, absorption and luminescence spectra, quantum yields of luminescence as well as cyclic volt-amperograms were measured.

Synthesis and approbation of new neuroprotective chemicals of pyrrolyl- and indolylazine classes in a cell model of Alzheimer's disease.

One of the major causes of neurodegeneration in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of cytotoxic amyloid species within the intercellular compartments of the brain. The efficacy of the anti-proteotoxic mechanism based on the molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 in numerous types of neurons is often low, while its pharmacological enhancement has been shown to ameliorate the physiological and cognitive functions of the brain. Suggesting that the chemicals able to induce heat shock protein synthesis and therefore rescue neural cells from cytotoxicity associated with amyloid, we have synthesized a group of pyrrolyl- and indolylazines that cause the accumulation of heat shock proteins, using a novel method of photocatalysis that is employed in green chemistry.

Pyrrolylquinoxaline-2-One Derivative as a Potent Therapeutic Factor for Brain Trauma Rehabilitation.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often causes massive brain cell death accompanied by the accumulation of toxic factors in interstitial and cerebrospinal fluids. The persistence of the damaged brain area is not transient and may occur within days and weeks. Chaperone Hsp70 is known for its cytoprotective and antiapoptotic activity, and thus, a therapeutic approach based on chemically induced Hsp70 expression may become a promising approach to lower post-traumatic complications.
