AB  - Strawberries are an important fruit in the European diet because of their unique taste and high content of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. The anthocyanins are known to be colorful phenolics in strawberries. In 17 samples of six strawberry cultivars produced in Serbia, i.e., the common varieties Alba, Asia, and Clery as well as promising breeding materials (11.29.11, 11.34.6, and 11.39.3), the anthocyanin profile as well as antimicrobial and antioxidative activity profiles were determined. All investigated extracts showed antioxidative and antibacterial activities against Gram-negative Aliivibrio fischeri. The responses were quite similar in number and intensity. The HPTLC-DPPH• scavenging assay and HPTLC-Aliivibrio fischeri bioassay coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry identified pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside (Pg-3-glc) as the main anthocyanin and prominent antioxidative and antimicrobial compound in strawberries. The density functional theory calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level showed that Pg-3-glc quenches free radicals via sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism in water and in pentyl ethanoate, where the 5-OH group is the most reactive site for proton and hydrogen atom transfer. The results were confirmed via spectrophotometry. The highest total phenolic content was found in Clery and 11.39.3, while statistically significant differences between the genotypes regarding the antioxidant activity were not confirmed. Although very similar in the anthocyanin, antioxidative, and antimicrobial profile patterns, the strawberry genotypes were successfully classified using principal component analysis.

AB  - In this study we synthesized a series of sixteen bis(imino)pyridines (BIPs) starting from 2,6-diaminopyridine and various aromatic aldehydes, and evaluated their antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. The chemical structures were elucidated by FTIR, elemental analysis, ESR and HRMS. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra couldn't be acquired due to the formation of stable, carbon-centered radical cations in a solution, as confirmed by ESR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The in vitro antioxidant potency was evaluated using four assays: free radical scavenging activity (DPPH and ABTS), reducing power and total antioxidant capacity assay. BIPs demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties, and two derivatives proved to be more potent than reference antioxidants (ascorbic acid and Trolox) in all assays. DFT calculations on.B97XD/6-311++g(d,p) level of theory provided valuable insights into the radical scavenging mechanism of BIPs. For hydroxyl-substituted BIPs, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) is a predominant mechanism, while the single electron transfer coupled with proton transfer (SET-PT) governs the antioxidant activity of other derivatives. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) plays an important role in the mechanism of antioxidant activity as revealed by noncovalent interaction analysis and rotational barrier calculations. The spin density of radical cations is localized on carbon atoms of a pyridine ring, which corroborates with g-factors and multiplicity obtained from ESR analysis. The most potent BIP exhibited moderate inhibitory activity toward AChE (IC50 = 20 +/- 4 mu M), while molecular docking suggested binding at the peripheral anionic site of AChE with the MMFF94 binding enthalpy of -43.4 kcal/mol. Moderate in vitro antimicrobial activity of BIPs have been determined against several pathogenic bacterial strains: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and clinical isolate of methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The antifungal activity of BIPs toward Candida albicans was also confirmed. The similarity ensemble approach combined with molecular docking suggested leucyl aminopeptidase as the probable antimicrobial target for the three most potent BIP derivatives.

AB  - The substituent and solvent effect on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of twelve monocarbohydrazones (mCHs) were studied using experimental and theoretical methodology. The effects of specific and non-specific solvent-solute interactions on the UV-Vis absorption maxima shifts were evaluated using linear free energy relationships (LFERs) principles, i.e. using the Kamlet-Taft and Catalan models. Linear free energy relationships in the form of single substituent parameter equation (SSP) was used to analyze substituent effect on UV-Vis, NMR and pK(a) change. According to crystallographic data and quantum chemical calculations, the trans (E) form was found to be more stable. A photochromism of compounds with 2-hydroxyphenyl and 2-pyridylimino groups substituted at imine carbon atom results in E/Z isomerization due to creation of intermolecular hydrogen bond in E and Z form, respectively. Multiple stage mass spectrometry (MS-MSn) analysis was applied to define main fragmentation pathways. Furthermore, the experimental findings were interpreted with the aid of ab initio MP2/6-311 G(d,p) and time-dependent density functional (TD-DFT) methods. TD-DFT calculations were performed to quantify the efficiency of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) with the aid of the charge-transfer distance (DCT) and the amount of transferred charge (QCT) calculation. It was found that both substituents and solvents influence electron density shift i.e. extent of conjugation, and affect ICT character in the course of excitation.

AB  - A novel binuclear Cd complex (1) with hydrazone-based ligand was prepared and characterized by spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complex 1 reveals a strong pro-apoptotic activity in both human, mammary adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) and pancreatic AsPC-1 cancer stem cells (CSCs). While apoptosis undergoes mostly caspase-independent, 1 stimulates the activation of intrinsic pathway with noteworthy down regulation of caspase-8 activity in respect to non-treated controls. Distribution of cells over mitotic division indicates that 1 caused DNA damage in both cell lines, which is confirmed in DNA interaction studies. Compared to 1, cisplatin (CDDP) does not achieve cell death in 2D cultured AsPC-1 cells, while induces different pattern of cell cycle changes and caspase activation in 2D cultured MCF-7 cells, implying that these two compounds do not share similar mechanism of action. Additionally, 1 acts as a powerful inducer of mitochondrial superoxide production with dissipated trans-membrane potential in the majority of the treated cells already after 6 h of incubation. On 3D tumors, 1 displays a superior activity against CSC model, and at 100 M induces disintegration of spheroids within 2 days of incubation. Fluorescence spectroscopy, along with molecular docking show that compound 1 binds to the minor groove of DNA. Compound 1 binds to the human serum albumin (HSA) showing that the HSA can effectively transport and store 1 in the human body. Thus, our current study strongly supports further investigations on antitumor activity of 1 as a drug candidate for the treatment of highly resistant pancreatic cancer.

AB  - Due to the rise of microbial strains resistant to conventional therapies, there is an urgent need for finding the new antimicrobial chemotypes. Heterocyclic compounds such as thiocarbohydrazones (TCHs) are able to interact with many metalloenzymes essential for microbes, while sulfur atom increases lipophilicity which is generally positively correlated with potency. In this paper, we report antibacterial and antifungal activity of twenty-two TCHs toward eight bacterial and three fungal strains. Furthermore, three alignment independent 3D QSAR models based on descriptors derived from molecular interaction fields (MIFs) are developed in order to rationalize structure-activity relationships for activities of TCHs toward S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. Several structural fragments important for biological activity are recognized in each model, and structural modifications which could lead to increased potency are suggested. Designed structures will be synthesized accordingly and tested toward the same microbial strains in order to obtain more potent derivatives.

AB  - A comparative study of antitumor activity of mono- and bis-quinoline based (thio) carbohydrazones was investigated by a series of tests on two human malignant cell lines: acute monocytic leukemia (THP-1) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cancer stem cells (AsPC-1). Thiocarbohydrazones (TCHs) revealed superior pro-apoptotic activity over carbohydrazones (CHs) on both tested cell phenotypes, also displaying multi-target profile activities. Programmed cell death triggered by TCHs was partially caspase-dependent, mainly caspase-8 related. Activity against cancer stem cells (CSCs) was evaluated on 2D monolayers and 3D spheroidal models, where two out of three tested bis-TCHs successfully stimulated apoptosis accompanied by a reduction in size of treated spheres. Additionally, all bis-TCHs induced significant decrease in percentage of CD44-expressing AsPC-1 cells that indicate on their ability to induce reprogramming of CSC phenotype. Current results highly support further assessment of bis-TCHs in order to specify their specific targets in cancer cells and particularly in the CSCs subpopulation.

AB  - A new Zn(II)-based potential chemotherapeutic agent was synthesized from the ligand 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde selenosemicarbazone (Hqasesc). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the Zn(II) complex consists of a cation [Zn(Hqasesc)(2)](2+), two perchlorate anions and one ethanol solvent molecule. The interaction of calf thymus (CT) DNA and human serum albumin (HSA) with the Zn(II) complex was explored using absorption and emission spectral methods, and also has been supported by molecular docking studies. The complex has more affinity to minor DNA groove than major, with no significant intercalation. The HSA interaction studies of the complex revealed the quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of the HSA through a static quenching mechanism. The antitumor activity of the ligand and the complex against pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line (AsPC-1) and acute monocytic leukemia (THP-1) cells was evaluated. Both compounds are strong concentration-dependent apoptosis inducers in THP-1 cells. While Hqasesc in AsPC-1 cells induces apoptosis only at the highest concentration, treatment with the Zn complex shows a concentration-dependent apoptotic response, where the treated cells are arrested in the G1-to-S phase accompanied with extensive activation of caspase-8 and -9. These results indicate that the ligand and Zn(II) complex display cell phenotype specific activity.
