Received: 7 March 2019; Accepted: 8 April 2019; Published: 12 April 2019 Abstract: Despite the impressive progress in nucleoside chemistry to date, the synthesis of nucleoside analogues is still a challenge. Chemoenzymatic synthesis has been proven to overcome most of the constraints of conventional nucleoside chemistry. A purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophila (AhPNP) has been used herein to catalyze the synthesis of Ribavirin, Tecadenoson, and Cladribine, by a “one-pot, one-enzyme” transglycosylation, which is the transfer of the carbohydrate moiety from a nucleoside donor to a heterocyclic base. As the sugar donor, 7-methylguanosine iodide and its 20-deoxy counterpart were synthesized and incubated either with the “purine-like” base or the modified purine of the three selected APIs.

  • Adenosine A1 Receptor Activation Attenuates Lung Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE CARDIOTHORACIC TRANSPLANTATION provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Adenosine A1 receptor activation attenuates lung ischemia–reperfusion injury Lucas G. Fernandez, MD, DSc, Ashish K. Sharma, PhD, MBBS, Damien J. LaPar, MD, MSc, Irving L. Kron, MD, and Victor E. Laubach, PhD Objectives: Ischemia–reperfusion injury contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in lung transplant patients. Currently, no therapeutic agents are clinically available to prevent ischemia–reperfusion injury, and treatment strategies are limited to maintaining oxygenation and lung function. Adenosine can modulate inflam- matory activity and injury by binding to various adenosine receptors; however, the role of the adenosine A1 re- ceptor in ischemia–reperfusion injury and inflammation is not well understood. The present study tested the hypothesis that selective, exogenous activation of the A1 receptor would be anti-inflammatory and attenuate lung ischemia–reperfusion injury. Methods: Wild-type and A1 receptor knockout mice underwent 1 hour of left lung ischemia and 2 hours of re- perfusion using an in vivo hilar clamp model. An A1 receptor agonist, 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine, was administered 5 minutes before ischemia. After reperfusion, lung function was evaluated by measuring airway resistance, pulmonary compliance, and pulmonary artery pressure. The wet/dry weight ratio was used to assess edema. The myeloperoxidase and cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured to determine the presence of neutrophil infiltration and inflammation. Results: In the wild-type mice, 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine significantly improved lung function and at- tenuated edema, cytokine expression, and myeloperoxidase levels compared with the vehicle-treated mice after ischemia–reperfusion.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Adenosine N1-Oxide
    Kohno et al. Journal of Inflammation (2015) 12:2 DOI 10.1186/s12950-014-0045-0 RESEARCH Open Access Anti-inflammatory effects of adenosine N1-oxide Keizo Kohno1*†, Emiko Ohashi1†, Osamu Sano1†, Hajime Kusano2†, Toshio Kunikata1†, Norie Arai3†, Toshiharu Hanaya1†, Toshio Kawata2†, Tomoyuki Nishimoto1† and Shigeharu Fukuda1,3† Abstract Background: Adenosine is a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory molecule. Despite its promise, adenosine’s extremely short half-life in blood limits its clinical application. Here, we examined adenosine N1-oxide (ANO), which is found in royal jelly. ANO is an oxidized product of adenosine at the N1 position of the adenine base moiety. We found that it is refractory to adenosine deaminase-mediated conversion to inosine. We further examined the anti-inflammatory activities of ANO in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The effect of ANO on pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion was examined in mouse peritoneal macrophages and the human monocytic cell line THP-1, and compared with that of adenosine, synthetic adenosine receptor (AR)-selective agonists and dipotassium glycyrrhizate (GK2). The anti-inflammatory activity of ANO in vivo was examined in an LPS-induced endotoxin shock model in mice. Results: ANO inhibited secretion of inflammatory mediators at much lower concentrations than adenosine and GK2 when used with peritoneal macrophages and THP-1 cells that were stimulated by LPS plus IFN-γ. The potent anti-inflammatory activity of ANO could not be solely accounted for by its refractoriness to adenosine deaminase. ANO was superior to the synthetic A1 AR-selective agonist, 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), A2A AR-selective agonist, 2-[p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino]-5’-N-ethylcarboxamideadenosine hydrochloride (CGS21680), and A3 AR-selective agonist, N6-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5’-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA), in suppressing the secretion of a broad spectrum of pro-inflammatory cytokines by peritoneal macrophages.

  • The Effects of Evodiamine on Serum Total Cholesterol
    Arch Biol Sci. 2016;68(3):561-566 DOI:10.2298/ABS150904046Y THE EFFECTS OF EVODIAMINE ON SERUM TOTAL CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDE LEVELS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVATION OF THE AMPK SIGNALING PATHWAY IN RATS WITH HYPERLIPEMIA Hui Yu1, Hai Hu2, Wuzhuang Gong3, Li Yang3, Zhanli Wang3,4,* and Cuifeng Wang3,* 1 The Second Affiliated Hospital, Baotou Medical College, Baotou 014030, China 2 Department of Pathophysiology, Baotou Medical College, Baotou 014060, China 3 The First Affiliated Hospital, Baotou Medical College, Baotou 014010, China 4 School of Public Health, Baotou Medical College, Baotou 014060, China *Corresponding authors: [email protected]; [email protected] Received: September 4, 2015; Revised: October 14, 2015; Accepted: October 26, 2015; Published online: May 9, 2016 Abstract: Evodiamine, a naturally occurring indole alkaloid, has been reported to have numerous biological activities, including antitumor, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Previous studies also suggest that evodiamine prevents obesity. In this study, we confirmed that evodiamine lowered the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in rats with hyperlipemia. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway might contribute in part to the effect of evodiamine on the serum levels of TC and TG. Key words: evodiamine; AMP-activated protein kinase; total cholesterol; triglycerides INTRODUCTION evodiamine inhibited neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA and peptide levels in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of Evodiamine is a bioactive compound present in the the hypothalamus, which might be one of the mecha- fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss.)

  • Sleep Promoting Effect of Luteolin in Mice Via Adenosine A1 and A2A Receptors
    Original Article Biomol Ther 27(6), 584-590 (2019) Sleep Promoting Effect of Luteolin in Mice via Adenosine A1 and A2A Receptors Tae-Ho Kim1, Raly James Custodio2, Jae Hoon Cheong2, Hee Jin Kim2,* and Yi-Sook Jung1,3,* 1College of Pharmacy, Ajou University, Suwon 16499, 2Uimyoung Research Institute in Neuroscience, Sahmyook University, Seoul 01795, 3College of Pharmacy, Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology, Ajou University, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea Abstract Luteolin, a widespread flavonoid, has been known to have neuroprotective activity against various neurologic diseases such as epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease. However, little information is available regarding the hypnotic effect of luteolin. In this study, we evaluated the hypnotic effect of luteolin and its underlying mechanism. In pentobarbital-induced sleeping mice model, luteolin (1, and 3 mg/kg, p.o.) decreased sleep latency and increased the total sleep time. Through electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) recording, we demonstrated that luteolin increased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep time and decreased wake time. To evaluate the underlying mechanism, we examined the effects of various pharmacological antagonists on the hypnotic effect of luteolin. The hypnotic effect of 3 mg/kg of luteolin was not affected by flumazenil, a GABAA receptor- benzodiazepine (GABAAR-BDZ) binding site antagonist, and bicuculine, a GABAAR-GABA binding site antagonist. On the other hand, the hypnotic effect of 3 mg/kg of luteolin was almost completely blocked by caffeine, an antagonist for both adenosine A1 and A2A receptor (A1R and A2AR), 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), an A1R antagonist, and SCH-58261, an A2AR antagonist.
