Synthesis, Pharmacological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling of Lappaconitine-1,5-Benzodiazepine Hybrids.

ABSTRACT: Diterpenoid alkaloids, originating from the amination of natural tetracyclic diterpenes, have long interested scientists due to their medicinal uses and infamous toxicity which has limited the clinical application of the native compound. Alkaloid lappaconitine extracted from various Aconitum and Delphinium species has displayed extensive bioactivities and active ongoing research to reduce its adverse effects. A convenient route to construct hybrid molecules containing diterpenoid alkaloid lappaconitine and 3H-1,5-benzodiazepine fragments was proposed. The key stage involved the formation of 5'-alkynone-lappaconitines in situ by acyl Sonogashira coupling of 5'-ethynyllappaconitine, followed by cyclocondensation with o-phenylenediamine. New hybrid compounds showed low toxicity and outstanding analgesic activity in experimental pain models, which depended on the nature of the substituent in the benzodiazepine nucleus. An analogous dependence was also shown for the antiarrhythmic activity in the epinephrine arrhythmia test in vivo. Studies on the isolated atrium have shown that the mechanism of action of the new compounds is included the blockade of beta-adrenergic receptors and potassium channels. Molecular docking analysis was conducted to determine the binding potential of target molecules with the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.5. All obtained results provide a basis for future rational modifications of lappaconitine, reducing side effects, while retaining its therapeutic effects.

Project description:BackgroundPrevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases require effective and low-toxic medicines. Molecular hybridization is an effective strategy to enhance the biological activity of new compounds. Triterpenoid scaffolds are in the focus of attention owing to their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory activities. Heteroprostanoids have different pleiotropic effects in acute and chronic inflammatory processes.ObjectiveThe study aimed to develop structurally new and low toxic anti-inflammatory agents via hybridization of betulinic acid with azaprostanoic acids.MethodsA series of betulinic acid-azaprostanoid hybrids was synthesized. The synthetic pathway included the transformation of betulin via Jones' oxidation into betulonic acid, reductive amination of the latter and coupling obtained by 3β-amino-3-deoxybetulinic acid with the 7- or 13-azaprostanoic acids and their homo analogues. The hybrids 1-9 were investigated in vivo on histamine-, formalin- and concanavalin A-induced mouse paw edema models and two models of pain - the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing and the hotplate test. The hybrids were in vitro evaluated for cytotoxic activity on cancer (MCF7, U- 87 MG) and non-cancer humane cell lines.ResultsIn the immunogenic inflammation model, the substances showed a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, which was comparable to that of indomethacin. In the models of the exudative inflammation, none of the compounds displayed a statistically significant effect. The hybrids produced weak or moderate analgesic effects. All the agents revealed low cytotoxicity on human immortalized fibroblasts and cancer cell lines compared with 3β- amino-3-deoxybetulinic acid and doxorubicin.ConclusionThe results indicate that the principal anti-inflammatory effect of hybrids is substantially provided with the triterpenoid scaffold and in some cases with the azaprostanoid scaffold, but the latter makes a significant contribution to reducing the toxicity of hybrids. Hybrid 1 is of interest as a potent low toxic agent against immune-mediated inflammation.
