Chalcone derivative, ethyl 2-(4-(3-(benzo[]thiophen-2yl)acryloyl)phenoxy)acetate (), was synthesized. Compound was characterized by proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (H- and C- NMR), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and mass (LC-ESI-MS/MS) spectroscopic methods. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for compound were performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Optimized geometry, frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO; highest occupied molecular orbital; LUMO: lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), IR and NMR parameters of compound were obtained. The evaluations reveal that the calculation results support the experimental results. The inhibition effects of compound on cholinesterases and GST enzyme were investigated. K and inhibition concentration (IC) values were calculated separately. Ki values of compound were found for GST 14.19 ± 2.15, for AChE 11.13 ± 1.22 and for BChE 8.74 ± 0.76 recpectively. The docking analysis of compound supported the enzym inhibition activity exhibiting high inhibition constant and binding energy for three receptors. Compound is strongly bound to AChE, huBChE and Glutathione S-transferase with binding energies -11.24, -8.56 and -10.39 kcal/mol, respectively.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

In continuation of our efforts to develop new anticancer compounds, a new series of imidazo[1,5-]pyridine-chalcone derivatives was designed, synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for its cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, , breast (MDA-MB-231), colon (RKO), bone (Mg-63), prostate (PC-3), and liver (HepG2) cell lines, as well as a normal cell line (HEK). Among the synthesized compounds, two exhibited promising cytotoxicity against the MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC values of 4.23 ± 0.

Protective mechanism of safflower yellow injection on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by activating NLRP3 inflammasome.

BMC Complement Med Ther

January 2025

Institute of Basic Medical Sciences of Xiyuan Hospital, Beijing Key Laboratory of Chinese Materia Pharmacology, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, National Clinical Research Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Cardiovascular Diseases, Beijing, China.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.

Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous crop cultivated worldwide that accumulates high levels of isoflavones. Although previous research has often focused on increasing the soybean isoflavone content because of the estrogen-like activity of dietary soy in humans, the rapidly increasing demand for soybean as a plant-based meat substitute has raised concerns about excessive isoflavone intake. Therefore, the production of isoflavone-free soybean has been anticipated.
