Photodimerization of Coumarins in Micelles: Limitations of Alignment Effect

Organized media such as micelles have shown great promise in achieving regio- and stereoselectivity in photochemical cycloaddition reactions as has been shown by recent reports. 7-Alkoxy- and 4-methyl-7-alkoxycoumarins dimerize in organic solvents to give the syn head-tail dimer.However, dimerization of these coumarins in SDS and CTAB micelles did not show any reversal in this trend.The results probably indicate that the micellar orientational effect is most effective only in those systems where the forces that control regiochemistry are weaker than hydrophobic association energies.

Photorheological response of aqueous wormlike micelles with photocleavable surfactant

Recently, we have reported a new cinnamic acid-type photocleavable surfactant, C4-C-N-PEG9 that experiences a photocleavage through UV-induced cyclization in aqueous solution, yielding a coumarin derivative (7-butoxy-2H-chromen-2-one) and an aminated polyoxyethylene compound. Here, we have studied the effects of C4-C-N-PEG9 on the photorheological behavior of viscoelastic wormlike micelles formed by aqueous mixture of nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene phytosterol ether (PhyEO20) and tetraoxyethylene dodecyl ether (C12EO4). The 4.9 wt % PhyEO20/H2O + 2.4 wt % C12EO4 solution forms wormlike micelles, and its viscosity is ～10 Pa·s. We have found that the addition of C4-C-N-PEG9 into this viscous, non-Newtonian fluid system decreases the viscosity. Viscosity decreased in parallel to the C4-C-N-PEG9 concentration reaching ～0.003 Pa·s at 2.5 wt % of C4-C-N-PEG9. However, viscosity of the C4-C-N-PEG9 incorporated system increased significantly (～200 times at 1.5 wt % of C4-C-N-PEG9 system) upon UV irradiation. Small-Angle X-ray scattering studies have shown that addition of C4-C-N-PEG9 favors wormlike-to-sphere type transition in the micellar structure. However, UV irradiation in the C4-C-N-PEG9 incorporated system causes one-dimensional micellar growth. Since C4-C-N-PEG9 has relatively bigger headgroup size compared to the C12EO4, addition of C4-C-N-PEG9 into wormlike micelles reduces the critical packing parameter resulting in the formation of spherical aggregates. UV irradiation induced one-dimensional micellar growth is caused due to photocleavage of the C4-C-N-PEG9 into a less surface-active coumarin derivative and an aminated polyoxyethylene compound, as confirmed by UV-vis spectrometry and HPLC measurements. The hydrophobic coumarin derivative formed after cleavage of C4-C-N-PEG9 goes to the micellar core and is responsible for decreasing the viscosity. However, the hydrophilic aminated polyoxyethylene prefers to reside at the vicinity of headgroup of PhyEO20 reducing the interhead repulsion, increasing the critical packing parameter and the viscosity as well.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel coumarin derivatives in rhabdoviral clearance

Diseases caused by rhabdoviruses have had a huge impact on the productive lives of the entire human population. The main problem is the lack of drugs for the treatment of this family of viruses. Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), the causative agent of IHN, is a typical rhabdovirus which has caused huge losses to the salmonid industry. Therefore, in this study, IHNV was studied as a model to evaluate the antiviral activity of 35 novel coumarin derivatives. Coumarin A9 was specifically selected for further validation studies upon comparing the half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of four screened candidate derivatives in epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells, as it exhibited an IC50 value of 2.96 μM against IHNV. The data revealed that A9 treatment significantly suppressed the virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) in EPC cells. In addition, A9 showed IC50 values of 1.68 and 2.12 μM for two other rhabdoviruses, spring viremia of carp virus and micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus, respectively. Furthermore, our results suggest that A9 exerts antiviral activity, but not by destroying the virus particles and interfering with the adsorption of IHNV. Moreover, we found that A9 had an inhibitory effect on IHNV-induced apoptosis in EPC cells, as reflected by the protection against cell swelling, formation of apoptotic bodies, and loss of cell morphology and nuclear division. There was a 19.05 % reduction in the number of apoptotic cells in the A9 treatment group compared with that in the IHNV group. In addition, enzyme activity assays proved that A9 suppressed the expression of caspase 3, 8 and 9. These results suggested that A9 inhibit viral replication, to some extent, by blocking IHNV-induced apoptosis. In an in vivo study, A9 exhibited an anti-rhabdovirus effect in virus-infected fish by substantially enhancing the survival rate. Consistent with the above results, A9 repressed IHNV gene expression in virus-sensitive tissues (brain, kidney and spleen) in the early stages of virus infection. Importantly, the data showed that horizontal transmission of IHNV was reduced by A9 in a static cohabitation challenge model, especially in fish that underwent bath treatment, suggesting that A9 might be a suitable therapeutic agent for IHNV in aquaculture. Therefore, coumarin derivatives can be developed as antiviral agents against rhabdoviruses.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of O-alkyl umbelliferone derivatives as pancreatic lipase inhibitors

A series of coumarin derivatives were synthesised through O-alkylation of umbelliferone. These derivatives were screened for their pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory potential. The PL inhibitory effect of compounds with various benzyl and long chain alkyl substituents on umbelliferone were analysed. The compound 1g, having the geranyl substituent was found to have better PL inhibitory potential with an IC50 of 21.64 M. The compounds 1a-j were subjected to molecular docking into the crystal structure of human PL. The molecular docking results are in correlation with the in vitro PL inhibition activity, wherein compound 1g showed a higher MolDock score of -122.12 kcal/mol. The long chain alkyl groups were found to have PL inhibition due to additional interactions with lid domain amino acids (Phe215, Tyr114, Phe77), as revealed by molecular docking study.

Deciphering the mechanism of carbonic anhydrase inhibition with coumarins and thiocoumarins

Coumarin derivatives were recently shown to constitute a totally new class of inhibitors of the zinc metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), being hydrolyzed within the CA active site to 2-hydroxycinnamic acids. We explore here a new series of variously substituted coumarins and a thiocoumarin for their interaction with 13 mammalian CA isoforms, detecting low nanomolar and isoform selective inhibitors. The mechanism of action of this class of inhibitors is delineated in detail by resolving the X-ray crystal structure ofCAII in complex with trans-2-hydroxy-cinnamic acid, the in situ hydrolysis product of simple coumarin. Thiocoumarins also act as efficient CAIs, similarly to coumarins. The versatility of the (thio)coumarin chemistry, the cis-trans isomerization evidenced here, and easy derivatization of the (thio)coumarin rings, coupled with the nanomolar inhibition range of several isozymes, afford isoform-selective CAIs with various biomedical applications, which render these classes of compounds superior to the clinically used sulfonamides.
