Synthesis of novel tris-chalcones and determination of their inhibition profiles against some metabolic enzymes.

TL;DR: The results revealed that novel tris-chalcones can have promising drug potential for glaucoma, leukaemia, epilepsy; Alzheimer’s disease that was associated with the high enzymatic activity of hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE enzymes.
Abstract: In this study, we report the synthesis of novel tris-chalcones and testing of human carbonic anhydrase I, and II isoenzymes (hCA I, and hCA II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (...

TL;DR: In this article, a series of pyrrole-3-one derivatives containing sulfa drugs (5a-i) were determined to be highly potent inhibitors for AChE and human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes.
Abstract: Human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes are zinc ion-containing, widespread metalloenzymes and they classically play a role in pH homeostasis maintenance. CA inhibitors suppress the CA activity and their usage has been clinically established as antiglaucoma agents, antiepileptics, diuretics, and in some other disorders. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder and a fatal disease of the brain. An advanced method to cure AD includes the strategy to design acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. A novel series of pyrrole-3-one derivatives containing sulfa drugs (5a-i) were determined to be highly potent inhibitors for AChE and hCA I and hCA II (inhibitory constant [Ki ] values are in the range of 6.50 ± 1.02-37.46 ± 4.12 nM, 1.20 ± 0.19-44.21 ± 1.09 nM, and 8.93 ± 1.58-46.86 ± 8.41 nM for AChE, hCA I, and hCA II, respectively). The designed compounds often show a more effective inhibition than the chemicals used as the standard. Among these compounds, 5f was the most effective compound against hCA I, and compound 5e was the most effective compound against hCA II. It was determined that compound 5c was the most effective inhibitor for AChE.

TL;DR: Sulphamides and sulphonamides are important biologically active compounds as mentioned in this paper and have potential use in the treatment of depression,neuropathic and inflammatory pains.
Abstract: Sulphamides [1] and sulphonamides [2] are importantbiologically active compounds. In the last decades a lot ofsulphamide and sulphonamide drugs have appeared inthe markets. Quinagolide (1), a dopaminergic drug, isan antihyperprolactinemia agent [3]. Compound 2 (JNJ-26990990) has potential use in the treatment of depression,neuropathic and inflammatory pains [4]. The sulphonamidedrug sultiame (3) is an anticonvulsant used in the treatmentof epilepsy and West syndrome [5]. Acetazolamide (AZA, 4), adrug alsoknownas carbonicanhydrase (CA) inhibitor,isusedin the treatment of glaucoma [6] and idiopathic intracranialhypertension [7] (Figure 1).CA (E.C.: 4.2.1.1) is a protein that is well suited to serve as amodel in many types of biophysical, bioanalytical andphysical-organic chemical studies as well as for inhibitordrug design studies. This enzyme catalyses the hydration ofcarbon dioxide (CO

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.
Abstract: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products. Four major components of the head are cleaved during the process of assembly, apparently after the precursor proteins have assembled into some large intermediate structure.

Abstract: On the basis of the assumed theory the rate of the observed reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate compound, (ES), a t all values of the concentration of the substrate, (S). It is proportional to (S) only a t low values of (S). The numerical value of the dissociation constant is given by the substrate concentration a t half-maximum velocity, where (E:l = (ES).
