Abstract

:
A series of 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazones 1–30 was synthesized and the structures of the synthetic derivatives elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The compounds showed a varying degree of antiglycation activity, with IC50 values ranging between 216.52 and 748.71 µM, when compared to a rutin standard (IC50 = 294.46 ± 1.50 µM). Compounds 1 (IC50 = 216.52 ± 4.2 µM), 3 (IC50 = 289.58 ± 2.64 µM), 6 (IC50 = 227.75 ± 0.53 µM), 7 (IC50 = 242.53 ± 6.1) and 11 (IC50 = 287.79 ± 1.59) all showed more activity that the standard, and these compounds have the potential to serve as possible leads for drugs to inhibit protein glycation in diabetic patients. A preliminary SAR study was performed.

1. Introduction

Benzoylhydrazones have many applications in medicinal and analytical chemistry [1,2,3]. Benzoylhydrazones of different heterocyclic compounds were reported to possess antiproliferative [4], anticonvulsant [5], antioxidant [6], cytotoxicity and anti-HIV activities [7,8]. Numerous benzoylhydrazones have shown interesting bioactivities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory, antimalarial, analgesic, antiplatelet, anticancer, antituberculosis [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17], insecticidal, antiplasmodium, and antimycobacterial effects, as adriamycin immunoconjugates, proteinase inhibitors and activity against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei [18,19,20,21,22]. Their hydrazide derivatives have shown β-glucuronidase inhibition activity [23]. In addition, substituted acylhydrazide Schiff bases are reported to have a wide range of bioactivities, including anticancer [24], antitubercular, and anti-inflammatory activities [25]. Hydrazine derivatives also have several commercial applications [26].
Glycation is a non-enzymatic chemical process in which biomolecules (such as proteins, human DNA, and lipids) are damaged by the attachment of reducing sugars (e.g., glucose), finally leading to the formation of highly reactive so-called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This process has been associated with deleterious health effects. Protein glycation has been implicated in the development of pathologies associated with diabetes and ageing etc. [27]. Therefore, the discovery of anti-glycation agents is among the most promising approaches for the management of late diabetic complications. At present only a few glycation inhibitors are known and the requirement of novel glycation inhibitors is still unmet [28]. With the epidemic-like spread of type-2 diabetes, the onsets of late diabetic complications, such as cardiopathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, are on rise. This is largely due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) [29,30]. Major efforts have recently been focused on the discovery of new, safe and effective glycation inhibitors [31]. Few molecules are reported to cleave cross-links formed by AGEs, and possibly provide the exciting opportunity of reversing the process of late diabetic complications [32]. It has been discovered that aged garlic extract possess excellent antiglycation potential in vitro [33,34]. Aminoguanidine was found to inhibit AGE formation and prevent retinopathy and diabetic vascular complications in diabetic animals, but it showed toxicity problems in phase III clinical trials [35]. Some other molecules (e.g., spermine, spermidine and polyamines) were also reported to have potent anti-glycation potential, similar to those of aminoguanidine and carnosine, but these compounds have to be addressed in future in vivo studies [36]. In the search of new, effective and safe antiglycation agents, we have reported several classes of compounds from natural flora, such as cyclopeptide alkaloids from Ziziphus oxyphylla Edgw, polyphenolic compounds from Parmotrema cooperi, kaempferol-7-β-d-glucopyranoside from Carum petroselinum, flavanones and flavones from Iris tenuifolia and Otostegia persica (Burm.) Boiss, respectively [37,38,39,40]. Along with natural compounds we have also reported different classes of synthetic compounds having antiglycation properties in the recent past, such as acylhydrazide [41], benzophenonehydrazone [42], 2,4,6-trichlorophenylhydrazones [43], oxindole derivatives [44], bis-Schiff bases of isatin [45] and metronidazole esters [46]. The work reported here is in continuation of this same systematic study.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Chemistry

4-Methoxybenzoylhydrazones 1–30 were synthesized from 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazide, which were obtained from methyl 4-methoxybenzoate by refluxing with hydrazine hydrate for 2 h. The 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazide obtained was recrystallized from methanol. 4-Methoxy- benzoylhydrazones 1–30 were prepared by refluxing 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazide with different aldehydes in methanol for 3 to 4 h (Scheme 1). The crude products were further recrystallized from methanol and mostly needle-like crystals were obtained in 78%–92% yield. The structures of the 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazones were deduced using various spectroscopic techniques and CHN analyses. The configuration of C=N double bond is E, which can be seen by various crystal structures of similar structures we have published [47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56].

2.2. Antiglycation Activity

Structure Activity Relationship

The NH2 groups of aminoguanidine and other nitrogen-containing compounds are well known to form Schiff base adducts with the carbonyl moieties of sugars. This interaction is mainly responsible for inhibiting the formation of advanced glycation end product (AGEs). Additionally, it has been found that compounds with different substituents have varying degree of activity against protein glycation [47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]. Based on this, we have prepared a series of 4-methoxybenzoylhydrazones 1–30 and evaluated their antiglycation potential in vitro. For our anti-glycation studies two standards, namely aminoguanidine and rutin, were used. In our protein model system (BSA-MG glycation model), aminoguanidine showed an IC50 value of 1168.24 ± 1.2 µM, while rutin showed an IC50 value of 294.5 ± 1.5 µM. However, as rutin is more active against glycation than aminoguanidine, we therefore decided to use rutin as the standard in this assay. The compounds 1–30 showed potent to moderate antiglycation activities, with IC50 values ranging between 216.52 and 748.71 µM, when compared to the standard compound. Compounds 1, 3, 6, 7, and 11 (IC50 = 216.52 ± 4.2 µM, 289.58 ± 2.64 µM, 227.75 ± 0.53 µM, 242.53 ± 6.1 µM and IC50 = 287.79 ± 1.59 µM, respectively), showed more potent activities than the rutin standard. The compounds 4 (IC50 = 307.1 ± 6.08 µM), 8 (IC50 = 347.62 ± 5.8 µM), 2 (IC50 = 394.76 ± 3.35 µM) and 12 (IC50 = 399.90 ± 7.9 µM) showed good activity. Compounds 5 (IC50 = 420.40 ± 3.3 µM) and 17 (IC50 = 474.97 ± 19.14 µM) showed moderate activities. Compounds 14 (IC50 = 649.18 ± 18.5 µM), 10 (IC50 = 657.75 ± 14.0 µM), 18 (IC50 = 718.96 ± 10.7 µM) and 15 (IC50 = 748.71 ± 7.8 µM) were only weakly active (Table 1).

The preliminary structure activity relationship data suggests that the activity mainly depends on the number, as well as the position of hydroxyl substituent’s on the phenyl moiety. Compounds 1 and 2 are both trihydroxy substituted, but compound 1 showed better activity (IC50 = 216.52 ± 4.2 µM) than the standard rutin. The activity of these compounds might be due to their capacity to inhibit glycoxidation. Compound 2 showed very low activity (IC50 = 394.76 ± 3.35 µM), as compared to compound 1. This may be due to the intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in compound 2, which reduce its chances to inhibit glycoxidation as compared to compound 1 (Figure 1).

The five compounds having dihydroxy substituents (i.e., 6, 7, 3, 4 and 5) showed excellent to moderate activity, depending upon the position of the hydroxyl groups. Compounds 6 (IC50 = 227.75 ± 0.53 µM), 7 (IC50 = 242.53 ± 6.1 µM) and 3 (IC50 = 289.58 ± 2.64 µM) showed more potent activity than the standard (rutin), whereas compounds 4 (IC50 = 307.1 ± 6.08 µM) showed activity comparable to the standard. Compound 5 showed moderate activity (Table 1). As discussed earlier, the antiglycation activity mainly depends on the position and potential of hydroxy groups to inhibit glycoxidation. In compounds 6, the 2,4-dihydroxy groups, being far apart from each other, have no hydrogen bonding with each other. para-Hydroxy groups easily inhibit glycoxidation and hence a potent anti-glycation activity was observed. In compound 7, both hydroxys are at the meta position and it showed potent anti-glycation activity, with an IC50 value of 242.53 ± 6.1 µM. In compounds 3 and 4, the meta-hydroxy moieties are still free to inhibit glycoxidation, but the activity was decreased with IC50 values of 289.58 ± 2.64 and 307.1 ± 6.08 µM, respectively. In compound 5, the ortho-hydroxyl groups are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding therefore a weak activity was observed as compared to its analogs, i.e., compounds 6, 7, 3 and 4 (Table 1).
The monohydroxyl-substituted analogues showed varied activities, mainly depending on the position of the hydroxyl group. Compound 8 (IC50 = 347.62 ± 5.8 µM) is the most active analogue among the monohydroxy derivatives, with a hydroxyl group at the para position. When the hydroxy group is at the meta position, the activity is reduced by half as compared to compound 8, (compound 10; IC50 = 657.75 ± 14.0 µM). Interestingly when the hydroxy is at the ortho position, as in compound 9, the activity was completely lost.
Compounds 11–13 having one hydroxy and one methoxy group showed varied activity, depending upon the position of the hydroxyl substituent. Compound 11 (IC50 = 287.79 ± 1.59 µM) having a para-hydroxy, showed better activity than the standard, whereas its analogue 12 (IC50 = 399.90 ± 7.9 µM) with a meta hydroxy showed a moderate activity against protein glycation. Compound 13 with an ortho hydroxy was found to be inactive.
Compounds 14–16 possess diverse pyridine rings. The most active among the pyridine derivatives was compound 14 (IC50 = 649.18 ± 18.5 µM), with the nitrogen at position-3, near to the hydrazine bridge. The activity decreases sharply when the nitrogen shifts to position-4, as in case of compound 15 (748.71 ± 7.8 µM). Compound 16 with the nitrogen at position-2 was found to be completely inactive (Table 1).
Compounds 17 and 18 showed a weak activity. Compound 17 possess a furfuryl ring and its low activity may be due to the weak interaction of the ring oxygen to inhibit glycoxidation. Furthermore, compound 18 possess an ester moiety, which again interacts weakly with the amino group of the proteins and hence showed a weak activity. Additionally compounds 9, 13 and 18–30 were also found to be inactive.
In conclusion, compounds having hydroxy groups at suitable positions, especially at the para position, can inhibit glycoxidation, and thus exhibit a potent antiglycation activity. However, structural modifications can be optimized to achieve the desired activity in this class of compounds.

3. Experimental

3.1. General Information

NMR experiments were performed on a Bruker Ultra Shield FT NMR 500 MHz (Wissembourg, Switzerland). CHN analysis was performed on a Carlo Erba Strumentazione-Mod-1106 (Milan, Italy). Electron impact mass spectra (EI-MS) were recorded on a Finnigan MAT-311A instrument (Bremen, Germany). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on pre-coated silica gel aluminum plates (Kieselgel 60, 254, E. Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Chromatograms were visualized by UV at 254 and 365 nm.

3.2. Experimental Protocol

3.2.1. Synthesis of 4-Methoxybenzohydrazide

Methyl 4-methoxybenzoate (10g) was refluxed with the mixture of hydrazine hydrate (10 mL) and methanol (25 mL) for 6 h. The excess hydrazine and methanol were evaporated to give the crude product which was recrystallized from methanol to yield 92% pure 4-methoxybenzohydrazide.

3.2.2. General Procedure for the Synthesis of 4-Methoxybenzohydrazone Derivatives

The 4-methoxybenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized by refluxing in methanol a mixture of 2 mmol each of 4-methoxybenzohydrazide with different aldehydes and a catalytic amount of acetic acid for 3 h. After the completion of the reaction, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum to afford the crude products which were further recrystallized from methanol to afford needle-like pure products in most of the cases in good to excellent yields.

3.2.3. Protocol for Antiglycation Activity

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was purchased from Merck Marker Pvt. Ltd. (Darmstadt, Germany), rutin and methylglyoxal (MG) (40% aqueous solution) were from Sigma Aldrich (Tokyo, Japan), sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4), disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) and sodium azide (NaN3) were purchased from Scharlau Chemie, S. A. (Barcelona, Spain), while dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) was purchased from Fischer Scientific (Loughborough, UK). Bovine Serum Albumin (10 mg/mL), methyl glyoxal (14 mM), various concentrations of the compounds (prepared in DMSO, 10% final concentration), and 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing sodium azide (30 mM) was incubated under aseptic conditions at 37 °C for 9 days. After 9 days, each sample was examined for the development of specific fluorescence (excitation, 330 nm; emission, 440 nm) against sample blank [39,57]. Rutin was used as a positive control. All of the experiments were done in a 96-well microplate reader (SpectraMax M2, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The percent inhibition of AGE formation in the test sample versus control was calculated for each inhibitor compound by using the following formula:
% inhibition= (1 − fluorescence of test sample/Fluorescence of the control group) × 100

3.3. Software/Statistical

The obtained results were analysed by SoftMaxPro 4.8 and MS-Excel. Results are presented as means ± SEM from three experiments. IC50 Values were determined by using EZ-FIT, Enzyme kinetics software by Perrella Scientific, Inc., Hillsborough, NH, USA.

4. Conclusions

In conclusion, compounds having hydroxy groups showed good antiglycation activity due to their capacity to inhibit glycoxidation. However, structural modifications can be optimized to achieve the desired activity in this class of compounds.
