TL;DR: In this article, the authors present resonant two-photon ionization and IR-UV double resonance spectra of methylated xanthine derivatives including 7-methylxanthine, theophylline and theobromine monomer, seeded in a supersonic jet by laser desorption.
Abstract: We present resonant two-photon ionization and IR–UV double resonance spectra of methylated xanthine derivatives including 7-methylxanthine dimer and theobromine dimer seeded in a supersonic jet by laser desorption. For 7-methylxanthine, theophylline and theobromine monomer we assign the lowest energy tautomer based on comparison with IR–UV double resonance spectra and calculated IR frequencies. For the 7-methylxanthine dimer, we observe hydrogen bonding on the N3H position suggesting 3 possible combinations, one that is reverse Watson–Crick type and two that are reverse Hoogsteen type. For the theobromine dimer, we observe a stacked structure. For trimethylxanthine dimers we infer a stacked structure as well.

TL;DR: Nimesulide was more active than its metabolites in preventing OH·-induced depolymerisation of hyaluronic acid, with a 50% effective concentration of approximately 230 μmol/L, which was fairly comparable to that of tenoxicam.
Abstract: The antioxidant activity of nimesulide and its main metabolites, 4′-hydroxynimesulide (M1) and 2-(4′-hydroxyphenoxy)-4-N-acetylamino-methansulfonanilide (M2), was investigated using 2 in vitro models: NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes (marker MDA formation) and xanthine/xanthine oxidase, iron-promoted depolymerisation of hyaluronic acid, determined by gel permeation Chromatographic analysis (marker molecular weight distribution). In the lipid peroxidation model, all the compounds inhibited MDA formation in a concentrationdependent manner, although with different potencies; the maximum scavenging effect was observed for M1 [50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 30 μmol/L; M2 IC50 = 0.5 mmol/L; nimesulide = 0.8 mmol/L].

TL;DR: A series of polymethoxyflavones isolated and hemisynthesized from the bud exudates of Gardenia oudiepe has been evaluated for in-vitro XO inhibitory activity and promising results are suggested, suggest the use of these compounds as potential leads for the design and development of novel XO inhibitors.
