A new benzopyrylium-phenothiazine conjugate (BP) of a flavylium derivative was synthesized and characterized. The probe BP was shown to be selective and sensitive for CN- among the 17 anions and biothiols studied in HEPES buffer medium by fluorescence, absorption, and visual color change. The colorimetric and fluorescence response of the probe BP to cyanide ions is due to the Michael addition of cyanide to the activated Michael receptor of the probe which blocks an intramolecular charge transfer process. The probe displays a fast response to cyanide ions at room temperature, and a maximal fluorescence signal is achieved in the presence of only 2 equivalents of cyanide ions. Moreover, the probe BP could be used as a practical, visible colorimetric test strip for CN- in an aqueous environment. TDDFT calculations were performed in order to demonstrate the electronic properties of the probe and its cyanide product. Density functional reactivity theory (DFRT) calculation also exhibits the characterisation of the most electrophilic and nucleophilic centres of the molecule. The probe could be applied for imaging cyanide in live cells by fluorescence imaging.

Because atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process involving a series of pathological events such as dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and blood clotting mechanisms, we hereby report the synthesis and evaluation of novel compounds in which antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and squalene synthase (SQS) inhibitory/hypolipidemic activities are combined in simple molecules through design. The coupling of two different pharmacophores afforded compounds 1-12, whose biological profile was markedly improved compared to those of parent lead structures (i.e., the hypolipidemic 2-hydroxy-2-aryl-(benzo)oxa(or thia)zine and the antioxidant phenothiazine). Most derivatives strongly inhibited in vitro microsomal lipid and LDL peroxidation, exhibiting potent free-radical scavenging activity. They further significantly inhibited SQS activity and showed remarkable antidyslipidemic activity in vivo in animal models of acute and high-fat-induced hyperlipidemia. Finally, several compounds showed anti-inflammatory activity in vitro, inhibiting cycloxygenase (COX-1/2) activity. The multimodal properties of the new compounds and especially their combined antioxidant/SQS/COX inhibitory activity render them interesting lead compounds for further evaluation against atherosclerosis.
