Luciferase-Induced Photouncaging: Bioluminolysis.
Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) has been widely used for studying dynamic processes in biological systems such as protein-protein interactions and other signaling events. Aside from acting as a reporter, BRET can also turn on functions in living systems. Herein, we report the application of BRET to performing a biorthogonal reaction in living cells; namely, releasing functional molecules through energy transfer to a coumarin molecule, a process termed bioluminolysis. An efficient BRET from Nanoluc-Halotag chimera protein (H-Luc) to a coumarin substrate yields the excited state of coumarin, which in turn triggers hydrolysis to uncage a target molecule. Compared to the conventional methods, this novel uncaging system requires no external light source and shows fast kinetics (t Topics: Adenine; Coumarins; Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer; HeLa Cells; Humans; Luciferases; Luminescent Measurements; Luminescent Proteins; Piperidines; Protein Binding; Pyrazoles; Pyrimidines | 2019 |
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel donepezil-coumarin hybrids as multi-target agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Combining N-benzylpiperidine moiety of donepezil and coumarin into in a single molecule, novel hybrids with ChE and MAO-B inhibitory activity were designed and synthesized. The biological screening results indicated that most of compounds displayed potent inhibitory activity for AChE and BuChE, and clearly selective inhibition to MAO-B. Of these compounds, 5m was the most potent inhibitor for eeAChE and eqBuChE (0.87 μM and 0.93 μM, respectively), and it was also a good and balanced inhibitor to hChEs and hMAO-B (1.37 μM for hAChE; 1.98 μM for hBuChE; 2.62 μM for hMAO-B). Molecular modeling and kinetic studies revealed that 5m was a mixed-type inhibitor, which bond simultaneously to CAS, PAS and mid-gorge site of AChE, and it was also a competitive inhibitor, which occupied the active site of MAO-B. In addition, 5m showed good ability to cross the BBB and had no toxicity on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Collectively, all these results suggested that 5m might be a promising multi-target lead candidate worthy of further pursuit.

Coumarin derivatives enhance the chemiluminescence accompanying lipid peroxidation.
The effect of laser dyes, derivatives of 1,2-benzopyrone (coumarin), on the chemiluminescence (CL) accompanying Fe(2+)-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in liposomes prepared from egg yolk phospholipids has been investigated. It was found that quinolizin (9a,9,1-gh)-substituted coumarins enhanced CL at the stages of "fast" and "slow" flashes (abbreviated as FF and SF, respectively), which are known to accompany lipid hydroperoxide decomposition (FF) and chain LPO reaction development (SF). On the other hand, these compounds did not virtually change the shape of CL curve (in particular, lag phase duration) and accumulation of the LPO products reacting with 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBARS). The dependences of FF and SF amplitudes on the concentration of coumarins exhibited for some compounds an effect of saturation with subsequent decrease of CL at high concentrations of the dyes. The highest degree of CL amplification was reached with the compound 2,3,5,6-1H,4H-tetrahydro-9-(2'-benzoimidazolyl)-quinolizin- (9,9a,1-gh)coumarin (C-525), which enhanced CL at the stages of FF and SF by a factor 1600 at a dye concentration of 8 nmoles/mg of phospholipid. On the other hand, C-525 did not increase the intensity of CL associated with the decomposition of H2O2 by Fe2+ ions (Fenton's reaction). Apparently, these coumarin sensitizers may be used for selective enhancement of CL associated with LPO both in experimental and clinical investigations.
