Methyl Effect on the Metabolism, Chemical Stability, and Permeability Profile of Bioactive N-Sulfonylhydrazones.

ABSTRACT: Sulfonylhydrazones are privileged structures with multifaceted pharmacological activity. Exploring the hypoglycemic properties of these organic compounds, we previously revealed a new series of N-sulfonylhydrazones (NSH) as antidiabetic drug candidates. Here, we evaluated the microsomal metabolism, chemical stability, and permeability profile of these NSH prototypes, focusing on the pharmacokinetic differences in N-methylated and non-N-methylated analogs. Our results demonstrated that the N-methylated analogs (LASSBio-1772 and LASSBio-1774) were metabolized by CYP, forming three and one metabolites, respectively. These prototypes exhibited chemical stability at pH 2.0 and 7.4 and brain penetration ability. On the other hand, non-N-methylated analogs (LASSBio-1771 and LASSBio-1773) were hydrolyzed in acid pH and could not cross the artificial blood-brain barrier. The cyano group in LASSBio-1771 was postulated as a possible site of interaction with the heme group, potentially inhibiting CYP enzymes. Moreover, prototypes with the methyl ester group were metabolized by carboxylesterase, and non-N-methylated analogs did not show oxidative metabolism. The prototypes (except LASSBio-1774) showed excellent gastrointestinal absorption. Altogether, our data support the idea that the methyl effect on NSH strongly alters their pharmacokinetic profile, enhances the recognition by CYP enzymes, promotes brain penetration, and plays a protective effect upon acid hydrolysis.

Project description:Halophilic archaea are a unique group of microorganisms that thrive in high-salt environments, exhibiting remarkable adaptations to survive extreme conditions. Archaeological wood and El-Hamra Lake serve as a substrate for a diverse range of microorganisms, including archaea, although the exact role of archaea in archaeological wood biodeterioration remains unclear. The morphological and chemical characterizations of archaeological wood were evaluated using FTIR, SEM, and EDX. The degradation of polysaccharides was identified in Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR). The degradation of wood was observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) revealed the inclusion of minerals, such as calcium, silicon, iron, and sulfur, into archaeological wood structure during burial and subsequent interaction with the surrounding environment. Archaea may also be associated with detected silica in archaeological wood since several organosilicon compounds have been found in the crude extracts of archaeal cells. Archaeal species were isolated from water and sediment samples from various sites in El-Hamra Lake and identified as Natronococcus sp. strain WNHS2, Natrialba hulunbeirensisstrain WNHS14, Natrialba chahannaoensis strain WNHS9, and Natronococcus occultus strain WNHS5. Additionally, three archaeal isolates were obtained from archaeological wood samples and identified as Natrialba chahannaoensisstrain W15, Natrialba chahannaoensisstrain W22, and Natrialba chahannaoensisstrain W24. These archaeal isolates exhibited haloalkaliphilic characteristics since they could thrive in environments with high salinity and alkalinity. Crude extracts of archaeal cells were analyzed for the organic compounds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 59 compounds were identified, including free saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acid esters, ethyl and methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids, glycerides, phthalic acid esters, organosiloxane, terpene, alkane, alcohol, ketone, aldehyde, ester, ether, and aromatic compounds. Several organic compounds exhibited promising biological activities. FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of various functional groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxylate, siloxane, trimethylsilyl, and long acyl chains in the archaeal extracts. Furthermore, the archaeal extracts exhibited antioxidant effects. This study demonstrates the potential of archaeal extracts as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
