AB  - Abstract: The retention profile of six serotonin receptor ligands such as arylpiperazines (aripiprazole, ziprasidone, risperidone), and benzothiazepine derivatives (olanzapine, mianserin, quetiapine), was investigated on C8 alkyl and pentafluorophenylpropyl stationary phases. The experimental design methodology was used to define their retention behavior and achieve acceptable separation results. Both phases showed satisfactory selectivity for all compounds. The optimal separation among the structurally related arylpiperazines and benzothiazepines was found with the C8 phase at 25°C, using acetonitrile (40%, v/v) and 20 mM ammonium acetate as a mobile phase modifier. The selectivity and sensitivity performances of the selected C8 system were discussed considering the separation of aripiprazole and its related compounds. In addition, the specified conditions were validated for determining aripiprazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The developed reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method can be successfully used for the rapid chromatographic profiling of serotonin receptor ligands and related analogs, providing increased selectivity during pharmaceutical analysis.

AB  - The objective of this study was to synthesize seven novel thiourea derivatives of naproxen (8–14), examine the anti-inflammatory activity of the newly synthesized compounds, investigate the cytotoxic potential of both sets of synthesized compounds (1–7 and 8–14), and select the most promising anti-inflammatory and antitumor drug candidates. The results of the in vivo anti-inflammatory study clearly showed that compounds 8 and 9 were capable of decreasing paw edema, as evident from a high percentage of inhibition (44.83% and 49.29%, respectively). In addition, the results of in vitro enzyme inhibition assays demonstrated that neither of the newly synthesized compounds reached 50% inhibition of 5-LOX at concentrations lower than 100 μM. In terms of antitumor potential, derivatives 3 and 8 exhibited strong cytotoxic effects on the HeLa cell line, suggesting the involvement of the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. According to the overall results obtained for both sets of synthesized molecules, derivatives 4 and 8 can be underlined as molecules with the strongest anti-inflammatory activity, while derivatives 3 and 8 are the most promising cytotoxic agents.

AB  - The aim of the study was a synthesis and investigation of the dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effect of new thiourea derivatives of naproxen with selected aromatic amines and esters of aromatic amino acids. The results of the in vivo study indicate that derivatives of m-anisidine (4) and N-methyl tryptophan methyl ester (7) showed the most potent anti-inflammatory activity four hours after injection of carrageenan, with the percentage of inhibition of 54.01% and 54.12%, respectively. In vitro assays of COX-2 inhibition demonstrated that none of the tested compounds achieved 50% inhibition at concentrations lower than 100 µM. On the other hand, the aromatic amine derivatives (1–5) accomplished significant inhibition of 5-LOX, and the lowest IC50 value was observed for compound 4 (0.30 μM). High anti-edematous activity of compound 4 in the rat paw edema model, together with potent inhibition of 5-LOX, highlight this compound as a promising anti-inflammatory agent

AB  - Design of dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors can be considered an adequate approach in the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs with less pronounced side effects. The aim of the present research was to examine the binding potential of the seven newly designed thiourea derivatives of naproxen towards COX-2 and 5-LOX. The binding analysis of ligand conformations was performed by OEDocking 3.2.0.2 software. The binding potential assessment revealed that thiourea derivatives of naproxen exhibited a comparable binding affinity as naproxen towards COX-2. The highest number of key binding interactions with 5-LOX was formed by compound 5, whereas compound 6 established the most stable complex (-9.29 kcal/mol). According to the obtained results, derivatives 5 and 6 can be considered as dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors with potential anti-inflammatory activity. However, none of the investigated compounds were able to form three hydrogen bonds with the binding site of COX-2, as well as three key hydrogen bonds with the active site of 5-LOX.

AB  - The aim of the conducted study was to develop new potential dual COX-2 and 5-LOX
inhibitors based on naproxen scaffold. We performed the evaluation of in vivo and in vitro
anti-inflammatory activity of newly synthesized thiourea derivatives of naproxen containing
m-anisidine and N-methyl tryptophan methyl ester in a side chain. An in vivo study
was carried out using a carrageenan-induced paw edema model of acute inflammation.
COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitory potential of synthesized compounds was evaluated using
fluorometric inhibitor screening kits. In silico study was performed in OEDocking 3.2.0.2
software with the FRED tool. Two investigated derivatives exhibited comparable anti-inflammatory
activity to naproxen (56.32%) four hours after injection of carrageenan, with
the percentage of inhibition being 54.01% (m-anisidine derivative) and 54.12% (N-methyl
tryptophan methyl ester derivative). In vitro studies of COX-2 inhibition demonstrated that
none of the tested compounds achieved 50% inhibition at concentrations below 100 μM,
whereas the m-anisidine derivative accomplished comparable inhibition of 5-LOX (IC50 =
0.30 μM) to commercial 5-LOX inhibitor zileuton (IC50 = 0.36 μM). Inability of the tested
compounds to form three hydrogen bonds with ARG120 and TYR355 could be a reason
why these compounds showed weak COX-2 inhibition. The m-anisidine derivative formed
a more stable complex with the 5-LOX enzyme (−8.39 kcal/mol), compared to N-methyl
tryptophan methyl ester derivative (−7.98 kcal/mol), with the absence of the iron ion chelation
in the active site in both cases. The significant in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of
the m-anisidine derivative, together with the potent inhibition of 5-LOX, highlighted this
compound as a promising anti-inflammatory agent.

AB  - Naproxen, as a propionic acid derivative, causes serious gastrointestinal side effects due to the presence of free carboxylic group. In that sense, masking of carboxylic group with other pharmacophores may be a promising strategy to decrease gastrointestinal toxicity. Thiourea derivatives have been intensively investigated as potential antitumor drugs, whereby their activity is based on potential inhibition of protein kinases, topoisomerases, carbonic anhydrase and sirtuins. In addition, it was shown that inhibition of certain protein kinases might reverse resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs by enhancing the cell death in the presence of low concentrations of drug. Twenty new thiourea derivatives of naproxen were designed and their binding to four selected protein kinases involved in tumor multidrug resistance (AKT2, mTOR, EGFR and VEGFR1) was estimated using two molecular docking programs (AutoDock Vina and OEDocking). According to OEDocking, the highest potential to inhibit AKT2 and mTor has derivative 1, while derivative 20 demonstrates the highest potential towards EGFR and VEGFR1. According to AutoDock Vina, the highest potential for inhibition of EGFR, AKT2 and VEGFR1 have derivatives 16 and 17. Therefore, derivatives 1, 16, 17 and 20 are potentially the most potent protein kinase inhibitors that could be further synthesized and tested for anticancer activity.

AB  - Defining  the  interaction  of  newly  synthesized  compounds  with plasma proteins is an important step in the drug development process. Chromatographic techniques can be successfully used in predicting the biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties of newly synthesized compounds. The aim of this study is to investigate and isolate the most important molecular properties that affect the interaction of 20 newly synthesized chalcones and commercial compounds (lopinavir, ritonavir, darunavir and ivermectin) with human serum albumin (HSA). The retention behaviour of the selected compounds was tested on a CHIRALPAK®HSA column. A mixture of phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and isopropanol (80:20 volume ratio) was used as the mobile phase, and the support vector method was used to form the quantitative structure retention relationship (QSRR) model. Based on the obtained values of retention parameters, it was observed that halogenated derivatives show the strongest, and methylated chalcone derivatives the weakest interaction with HSA. By correlating the retention and physicochemical properties of the tested compounds, it was  shown  that  the  structural  (SDSCH)  and  electronic  properties  (MAXQ, EEM_F1) groups have the greatest influence on the retention behaviour and the interaction of the tested compounds with HSA. The obtained QSRR model can be applied in the prediction of the retention characteristics of new, structurally related chalcone derivatives on HSA stationary phase.

AB  - Administration of current non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is often associated with
serious adverse effects. Therefore, there is a constant need to develop new molecules with anti-
inflammatory activity. On the other hand, thiourea derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity in numerous studies. To clarify anti-
inflammatory mechanism of action, in silico study was performed on four thiourea derivatives of
naproxen, which were selected from the initial group of compounds synthesized by our research
group. Tested compounds contain p-fluoroaniline (16), p-methoxyaniline (17), p-ethoxyaniline (18)
and aniline (19) in the side chains. Selected 3D structures of enzymes COX-2 (3NT1) and 5-LOX
(6NCF) were taken from PDB database. MAKE Receptor 3.2.0.2 software (OpenEye Scientific Software,
Inc, Santa Fe, NM, United States) was used for preparation of enzymes’ active sites, while ligands
were prepared in OMEGA 2.5.1.4. FRED 3.2.0.2 software (OpenEye Scientific Software, Inc, Santa
Fe, NM, United States) was employed for the analysis of binding poses into enzymes’ active sites.
All tested compounds showed key binding interactions with both enzymes. The highest number
of key binding interactions was observed during molecular fitting of derivative 19 into the active
site of COX-2 and derivatives 16 and 18 into the 5-LOX. Derivative 17 had the lowest value of free
binding energy for both target enzymes (−14.90 kcal/mol for COX-2 and −9.57 kcal/mol for 5-LOX).
Therefore, all analyzed compounds represent potential dual inhibitors of mentioned enzymes.

AB  - The discovery of HIV and the study of molecular mechanisms crucial for the virus
replication cycle have led to the identification of important protein structures - potential
targets of drug action in AIDS therapy. One of the most significant discoveries is HIV-1
protease (PR), an enzyme that plays a key role in the HIV replication cycle (1). This study
aimed to test and demonstrate the interactions of newly synthesized chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-
propen-1-one) as well as three commercial drugs (lopinavir, ritonavir and darunavir) in the
active site of HIV-1 protease using in sillico methods. and that the results obtained correlate
with the results of in vitro tests on the enzyme itself. The twenty structurally similar
chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their physico-chemical characterization was
performed. Docking calculations were performed using the Autodock Wine program in the
3D structure of the enzime catalytic site (pdb code: 6B36). The inhibition of enzyme activity
was monitored by fluorimetric method (2). The obtained results revealed that all compounds
showed anti-HIV-1 protease activity. Compound C1 showed the highest inhibitory activity
with an IC 50 values of 0.001 μM which is comparable with commercial product Darunavir.
The results obtained indicate that the synthesized compounds can be classified as potential
anti-HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Further research is focused on testing the ADMET properties
of the synthesized compounds as well as the synthesis of their analogues for which in silico
tests have shown satisfactory results.

abstract = "The discovery of HIV and the study of molecular mechanisms crucial for the virus
replication cycle have led to the identification of important protein structures - potential
targets of drug action in AIDS therapy. One of the most significant discoveries is HIV-1
protease (PR), an enzyme that plays a key role in the HIV replication cycle (1). This study
aimed to test and demonstrate the interactions of newly synthesized chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-
propen-1-one) as well as three commercial drugs (lopinavir, ritonavir and darunavir) in the
active site of HIV-1 protease using in sillico methods. and that the results obtained correlate
with the results of in vitro tests on the enzyme itself. The twenty structurally similar
chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their physico-chemical characterization was
performed. Docking calculations were performed using the Autodock Wine program in the
3D structure of the enzime catalytic site (pdb code: 6B36). The inhibition of enzyme activity
was monitored by fluorimetric method (2). The obtained results revealed that all compounds
showed anti-HIV-1 protease activity. Compound C1 showed the highest inhibitory activity
with an IC 50 values of 0.001 μM which is comparable with commercial product Darunavir.
The results obtained indicate that the synthesized compounds can be classified as potential
anti-HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Further research is focused on testing the ADMET properties
of the synthesized compounds as well as the synthesis of their analogues for which in silico
tests have shown satisfactory results., Otkrić e HIV-a i istraživanje molekularnih mehanizama ključnih za ciklus replikacije

AB  - The experimental design methodology based on central composite design of experiments was applied
to compare the retention mechanisms in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and non-aqueous hy-
drophilic interaction liquid chromatography (NA-HILIC). The selected set consists of 26 compounds that
belong to imidazoline and serotonin receptor ligands. The different chemometric tools (multiple linear
regression, principal component analysis, parallel factor analysis) were used to examine the retention, as
well as to identify the most significant retention mechanisms. The retention mechanism was investigated
on two different stationary phases (diol, and mixed-mode diol). In NA-HILIC, the mobile phase contains
acetonitrile as a main component, and methanolic solution of ammonium formate (+ 0.1% of formic acid)
as a modifier. The same mobile phase modifier was used in SFC, with a difference in the main component
of the mobile phase which was CO2.
The retention behaviour differs significantly between HILIC and SFC conditions. The retention pattern
in HILIC mode was more partition-like, while in SFC the solute-sorbent interactions allowed retention.
The retention mechanism between mixed-mode diol and the diol phases varies depending on the applied
chromatographic mode, e.g., in HILIC the type of stationary phase significantly affects the elution order,
while in SFC this was not the case. The HILIC retention behaviour was influenced by the number of
tertiary amines-aliphatic, and N atom-centred fragments in tested compounds. On the other hand, the
number of pyrrole and pyridine rings in the structure of the compound showed correlation with their
SFC retention, simultaneously increasing the molecular weight and rapid elution of larger compounds. It
was found that temperature surprisingly plays a major role in SFC mode. The increase in temperature
reduces the relative contribution of enthalpy factors to total retention, so the separation in SFC was more
entropy-controlled. For further pharmaceutical research and optimization, the SFC would be considered
more beneficial compared to HILIC since it gives good selectivity in separation of chosen impurities.

AB  - The global market for antiseptics and disinfectants is growing rapidly, fueled by a
coronavirus pandemic and a possible outbreak of infectious diseases in the future. The
antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and redox activity of chalcone (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one)
is well documented in the literature. The aim of this study is screening of antimicrobial
activity of chalcones and their saturated derivatives as active pharmaceutical ingredients,
synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation (1). The redox potential of the investigated
compounds was tested in the biological environment using spectrophotometric methods to
determine prooxidant/antioxidant parameters. Within preformulation studies solubility and
compatibility with excipients commonly used in liquid pharmaceutical dosage forms was
performed. All the tested chalcones and their saturated derivatives showed satisfactory
antimicrobial activity, but two saturated chalcones showed the best MIC (0.156 - 1.25 mM)
and were categorized as compounds with strong bacteriostatic activity (2). Solubility of the
chalcons with moderate antimicrobial activity and redox potential was higher than its
minimum bacteriostatic and bactericidal concentration in all the tested solvents (ethanol,
isopropyl alcohol and propylene glycol). Based on the chemical structure and predicted logP
values for saturated chalcones that show stronger antimicrobial activity, better water
solubility is expected. These data could be a starting point for formulations of antiseptics and
disinfectants with lower concentrations of alcohol-based solvents, as the synergism between
saturated chalcone and ethanol and isopropyl alcohol was previously shown. Considering the
lighter color of the saturated chalcone, better aesthetic acceptability of the developed
formulations is expected, since it will not stain the skin and objects during application.

bojiti kožu i predmete tokom nanošenja.

AB  - The characterization of drug-protein plasma interactions is a routinely performed
part of drug discovery process. The unbound concentration of the drug depends on the
binding affinity to plasma proteins, which consequently affects its therapeutic effect,
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (1). The most important plasma proteins
are human serum albumin (HSA), lipoproteins and alpha-1 acid glycoproteins (AGP). The
liquid chromatography can be successfully used for in vitro estimation of plasma protein
binding affinity using HSA or AGP modified silica gel as a stationary phase (2). The
interaction with HSA has been tested for a wide range of 33 pharmacologically active
compounds including dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors, β-blockers, calcium channel blockers and serotonin/dopamine receptor ligands
under reversed-phase conditions. The drug-HSA interaction was interpreted by using the
retention modeling, and by selecting the most significant structural characteristics that have
an influence on the retention mechanism. The small structural differences, which are
reflected in different lipophilicity and polarity, affect the drug-HSA interaction. The retention
of the compounds was successfully defined by using the quadratic equation. The isocratic
(logk(14%)) and extrapolated factors (b0(LSS)) showed a high correlation with the
experimentally available data, and in silico estimated affinity for HSA. The structural
properties and charged parts of the molecule surface have been found to significantly affect
the HSA mechanism. The obtained results can be successfully applied in further optimization
of the structural characteristics of the newly synthesized compounds in order to achieve the
desired therapeutic and pharmacokinetic effect.
AB  - Karakterizacija interakcije novosintetisanih jedinjenja sa plazma proteinima je
rutinski deo procesa proizvodnje i otkića novih lekova. Slobodna koncentracije lekovite
supstance zavisi od stepena vezivanja za proteine plazme, što posledično utiče na njen
terapijski efekat, apsorpciju, distribuciju, metabolizam i izlučivanje (1). Najznačajniji plazma
proteini su humani serumski albumin (HSA), lipoproteini i alfa-1 kiseli glikoproteini (AGP).
Tečna hromatografija se uspešno koristi za in vitro procenu afiniteta vezivanja lekovite
supstance za plazma proteine primenom modifikovane silika gel stacionarne faze sa HSA-om
ili AGP-om, i korišćenjem mobilne faze čiji sastav simulira fiziološke uslove (2). Za širok
spektar 33 farmakološki aktivnih jedinjenja koja uključuju inhibitore dipeptidil peptidaze IV,
inhibitore angiotenzin konvertujućeg enzima, β-blokatore, blokatore kalcijumovih kanala i
ligande serotoninskih/dopaminskih receptora ispitana je interakcija sa HSA-om u uslovima
reverzno-fazne tečne hromatografije. Lek-plazma protein interakcija je definisana na osnovu
mehanizma zadržavanja na HSA stacionarnoj fazi, primenom metode retencionog
modelovanja, kao i izdavajanjem najznačajnijih strukturnih karakteristika koje utiču na
retenciono ponašanje. Utvrđeno je da male strukturne razlike, koje se ogledaju u različitoj
lipofilnosti i polarnosti, utiču na interakciju sa HSA-om. Kvadratnim modelom je uspešno
definisano retenciono ponašanje ispitivanih jedinjenja. Izokratski (logk(14%)) i
ekstrapolisani retencioni faktor (b0(LSS)) su pokazali visok stepen slaganja sa
eksperimentalno dostupnim i in silico procenjenim afinitetom za HSA. Ustanovljeno je da
strukturna svojstva (broj dvostrukih veza, aromatični prstenovi, benzil, arlil supstituenti) i
naleketrisani fragmenti površine molekula značajno utiču na HSA interakciju. Dobijeni
rezultati se mogu uspešno primeniti u daljoj optimizaciji strukturnih karakteristika
novosintetisanih jedinjenja i postizanja željenih terapijskih i farmakokinetičkih ciljeva.

(logk(14%)) and extrapolated factors (b0(LSS)) showed a high correlation with the
experimentally available data, and in silico estimated affinity for HSA. The structural
properties and charged parts of the molecule surface have been found to significantly affect
the HSA mechanism. The obtained results can be successfully applied in further optimization
of the structural characteristics of the newly synthesized compounds in order to achieve the
desired therapeutic and pharmacokinetic effect., Karakterizacija interakcije novosintetisanih jedinjenja sa plazma proteinima je
rutinski deo procesa proizvodnje i otkića novih lekova. Slobodna koncentracije lekovite
supstance zavisi od stepena vezivanja za proteine plazme, što posledično utiče na njen
terapijski efekat, apsorpciju, distribuciju, metabolizam i izlučivanje (1). Najznačajniji plazma
proteini su humani serumski albumin (HSA), lipoproteini i alfa-1 kiseli glikoproteini (AGP).
Tečna hromatografija se uspešno koristi za in vitro procenu afiniteta vezivanja lekovite
supstance za plazma proteine primenom modifikovane silika gel stacionarne faze sa HSA-om
ili AGP-om, i korišćenjem mobilne faze čiji sastav simulira fiziološke uslove (2). Za širok
spektar 33 farmakološki aktivnih jedinjenja koja uključuju inhibitore dipeptidil peptidaze IV,
inhibitore angiotenzin konvertujućeg enzima, β-blokatore, blokatore kalcijumovih kanala i
ligande serotoninskih/dopaminskih receptora ispitana je interakcija sa HSA-om u uslovima
reverzno-fazne tečne hromatografije. Lek-plazma protein interakcija je definisana na osnovu
mehanizma zadržavanja na HSA stacionarnoj fazi, primenom metode retencionog
modelovanja, kao i izdavajanjem najznačajnijih strukturnih karakteristika koje utiču na
retenciono ponašanje. Utvrđeno je da male strukturne razlike, koje se ogledaju u različitoj
lipofilnosti i polarnosti, utiču na interakciju sa HSA-om. Kvadratnim modelom je uspešno
definisano retenciono ponašanje ispitivanih jedinjenja. Izokratski (logk(14%)) i
ekstrapolisani retencioni faktor (b0(LSS)) su pokazali visok stepen slaganja sa
eksperimentalno dostupnim i in silico procenjenim afinitetom za HSA. Ustanovljeno je da
strukturna svojstva (broj dvostrukih veza, aromatični prstenovi, benzil, arlil supstituenti) i
naleketrisani fragmenti površine molekula značajno utiču na HSA interakciju. Dobijeni
rezultati se mogu uspešno primeniti u daljoj optimizaciji strukturnih karakteristika
novosintetisanih jedinjenja i postizanja željenih terapijskih i farmakokinetičkih ciljeva.",

AB  - The serotonin receptor ligands, such as structurally related arylpiperazine and
benzothiazepine derivatives, are most commonly used in the treatment of schizophrenia,
depression, and manic disorders. (1). Due to emphasized lipophilicity, their retention can be
successfully defined under the reversed-phase (RP) chromatographic conditions. Using the
experimental design methodology (2), the retention of selected serotonin receptor ligands
(aripiprazole, ziprasidone, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, mirtazapine) was tested on
RP stationary phases, in order to define differences in their retention mechanisms and
ensure the further optimization of separation conditions. The silica modified, C8 and
pentafluorophenylpropyl (PFP) columns were used as stationary phases, while the mobile
phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and ammonium acetate. The experimental plan was
defined according to the central composite design varying the following factors: ammonium
acetate concentration (15-25 mM), volume fraction of acetonitrile (40-50% v/v), and column
temperature (20-30°C). The differences between retention on C8 and PFP columns were
presented by using the radar plots and principal component analysis. The obtained
differences are especially visible in the case of ziprasidone, olanzapine, quetiapine and
mirtazapine, which may explain the occurrence of inversions in their elution order. On C8
phase the separation of structurally related arylpiperazine or benzothiazepine derivatives
was achieved, while the PFP phase showed more successful applicability in the separation of
all tested ligands. The slightly higher values of the selectivity parameter were obtained for
40% of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. In further optimization of the separation conditions,
the PFP bonded stationary phase can be successfully applied.
AB  - Ligandi serotoninskih receptora kao što su strukturno srodni derivati arilpiperazina i

njihovo retenciono ponašanje se može uspešno definisati u uslovima reverzno-fazne

stacionarnim fazama, sa ciljem definisanja razlika u mehanizmima zadržavanja i daljoj
optimizaciji hromatografskih uslova razdvajanja. Kao stacionarne faze korišćene su C8 i
pentafluorofenilpropil (PFP) kolone, dok je mobilna faza bila smeša acetonitrila i amonijum-
acetata. Plan izvođenja eksperimenta je postavljen prema planu centralnog kompozitnog
dizajna variranjem sledećih hromatografskih faktora: koncentracije amonijum-acetata (15-
25 mM), zapreminskog udela acetonitrila (40-50% v/v) i temperature kolone (20-30°C).
Primenom linearne regresione analize, definisan je uticaj izabranih faktora na promenu

analize glavnih komponenti predstavljene su razlike između mehanizama zadržavanja na C8
i PFP kolonama. Razlike su posebno vidljive u slučaju ziprazidona, olanzapina, kvetiapina i
mirtazapina čime se može objasniti inverzija u njihovom redosledu eluiranja. Uočeno je da
C8 stacionarna faza pogoduje razdvajanju strukturno srodnih arilpiperazina ili strukturno
srodnih derivata benzotiazepina, dok je PFP stacionarna faza pokazala uspešniju
primenljivost u razdvajanju svih ispitivanih liganada. Nešto veće vrednosti parametra
selektivnosti dobijene su na 40% udelu acetonitrila u mobilnoj fazi. U daljoj optimizaciji
hromatografskih uslova razdvajanja ispitivanih liganada, stacionarna faza sa vezanim PFP
grupama se može uspešno primeniti.

AB  - Masking the carboxyl group of naproxen with other functional groups may be a
promising strategy to decrease its gastrointestinal toxicity. Thiourea moiety has been described
as an important pharmacophore in a variety of pharmacologically active compounds, including
anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer, hypoglycemic and antimicrobial agents. Our research
group has previously designed twenty novel thiourea derivatives of naproxen, containing amino
acids (glycine, L-alanine, β-alanine, L-valine and L-phenylalanine - compounds 1,2,3,4 and 5,
respectively), their methyl (6-10) and ethyl esters (11-15), as well as aromatic amines (16-20).
Pharmacokinetic properties and druglikeness of these compounds were predicted using
SwissADME web tool (http://www.swissadme.ch/). Predicted pharmacokinetic properties
include potential for gastrointestinal absorption, blood-brain barrier permeability, skin
permeability, transport mediated by P-glycoproteins and enzyme inhibitory potential.
Druglikeness was evaluated using Lipinski’s, Ghose’s, Veber’s, Egan’s and Muegge’s rules, as
well as on the basis of bioavailability score. All tested compounds had high-predicted
gastrointestinal absorption and low blood-brain barrier permeability. Also, derivatives 2, 4, 7,
9, 10, 12, 14, 15 and 18 were predicted to be substrates for P-glycoprotein. Derivatives with
aromatic amines (16-20) showed inhibitory potential against all tested CYP isoforms.
Derivative 19 had the highest, while derivative 13 demonstrated the lowest predicted skin
permeability. Finally, derivatives 1-12, except 5 and 10, have druglike structures, since they
obey to all imposed rules.

AB  - Today, we are witnessing an explosion of scientific concepts in cancer chemotherapy. It has been considered for a long time that genetic instability in cancer should be treated with drugs that directly damage the DNA. Understanding the molecular basis of malignant diseases shed light on studying phenotypic plasticity. In the era of epigenetics, many efforts are being made to alter the aberrant homeostasis in cancer without modifying the DNA sequence. One such strategy is modulation of the lysine acetylome in human cancers. To remove the acetyl group from the histones, cells use the enzymes that are called histone deacetylases (HDACs). The disturbed equilibrium  between  acetylation  and  deacetylation  on  lysine  residues  of  histones  can  be manipulated with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi).  Throughout the review, an effort will be made to present the mechanistic basis of targeting the HDAC isoforms, discovered selective HDAC inhibitors, and their therapeutical implications and expectations in modern drug discovery.

AB  - In the search for potent biologically active molecules, thiourea and other structure-related derivatives such as
thiosemicarbazones have attracted great attention. In the past two decades, thiourea derivatives have been recognized as
promising class of anticancer drugs due to their inhibitory activity against various targets, such as protein kinases and
topoisomerases [1,2]. In this work, molecular docking analyses were performed on 20 thiourea derivatives of naproxen,
previously designed by our group, in order to find their potential mechanisms of action. Designed derivatives contain amino
acids and aromatic amines in the side chains. Following 3D structures of selected protein kinases involved in multidrug
resistance were taken from PDB: 1M17 (EGFR), 3E87 (AKT2), 3HNG (VEGFR1) and 4JSV (mTOR). The receptor sites
were prepared using MAKE Receptor 3.2.0.2 software [3]. Ligands were prepared in OMEGA 2.5.1.4 [4,5] and
multiconformational binary files were generated. The FRED 3.2.0.2 software [6-8] was used for the analysis of binding
poses into the receptor sites. The key binding interactions were observed for derivatives 1 (with AKT2 and mTor) and 20
(with EGFR and VEGFR1). Therefore, these derivatives possess the best multitarget potential and represent potential
candidates for targeting multidrug resistant tumors (Figure 1).

AB  - Retention behaviour of twenty-one chalcones synthesized in our laboratory was tested in three thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC) systems (acetonitrile–water, ethanol–water and acetone–water) and chromatography parameters R0 M, S and C0 were calculated. The most suitable RP-TLC system (acetonitrile–water) and chromatography parameter (C0) for lipophilicity prediction of tested compounds were selected on the basis of the highest correlations with calculated logP values. In selected system, compound 12 had the highest, whereas 47 had the lowest C0 value. QSRR analysis was performed and three models representing relationships between C0 and selected molecular descriptors were created—MLR(C0), PLS(C0) and SVM(C0). Interpretation of molecular descriptors which form statistically the most reliable SVM(C0) model identified the most important structural and physico-chemical properties that influence retention behaviour of tested compounds. In addition, descriptors with the highest influence on R0
M as well as on C0 calculated in the remaining two RP-TLC systems were  dentified and interpreted.

AB  - Introduction/Objective Biofilm and pyocyanin production are essential components of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence and antibiotic resistance.Our objective was to examine inhibitory effect of synthetized propafenone derivatives 3-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-1-(2- (2-hydroxy-3-propylamino-propoxy)-phenyl)-propan-1-one hydrochloride (5OF) and3-(2-Trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-propylamino-propoxy)-phenyl)-propan-1-one hydrochloride (5CF3) on biofilm and pyocyanin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains.Methods Effects were tested on nine clinical isolates and one control laboratory strain of P. aeruginosa. In vitro analysis of biofilm growing was performed by incubating bacteria (0.5 McFarland) with 5OF and 5CF3 (500–31.2 μg/ml) and measuring optical density (OD) at 570 nm. Bacteria in medium without com-pounds were positive control. Blank medium (an uninoculated medium without test compounds) was used as negative control. Pyocyanin production was estimated by OD at 520 nm, after bacteria incubated with 5CF3 and 5OF (250 and 500 μg/ml), treated with chloroform, and chloroform layer mixed with HCl. Results A total of 500 μg/ml of 5OF and 5CF3 completely inhibited biofilm formation in 10/10 and 4/10 strains, respectively. A total of 250 μg/ml of 5OF and 5CF3 strongly inhibited biofilm formation in 7/10 strains, while inhibition with 125 μg/ml of 5OF and 5CF3 was moderate. Lower concentrations had almost no effect on biofilm production. Pyocyanin production was reduced to less than 40% of the control value in 6/9, and less than 50% of the control in 7/9 strains with 500 μg/ml of 5OF and 5CF3, respectively. At 250 μg/ml 5OF and 5CF3, most strains had pyocyanin production above 50% of the control value.Conclusion Synthetized propafenone derivatives, 5OF and 5CF3, inhibited biofilms and pyocyanin produc-tion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains. Presented results suggest that propafenone derivatives are potential lead-compounds for synthesis of novel antipseudomonal drugs.

Инхибиција биофилма са 500 μg/ml5CF3 била је потпуна код 4/10 сојева. При концентрацији 5OF и 5CF3 од 250 μg/ml продукција биофилма код већине испитаних изолата била је слаба, док је при концентрацији 125 μg/ml 5OF односно 5CF3 продукција била умерена. Ниже концентрације 5OF и 5CF3 нису имале инхибиторни ефекат на формирање биофилма.

AB  - Antifungal agents are the group of drugs commonly prescribed in the treatment  of  fungal  infections,  which  are  widely  spread  among  the  global population.  Their  properties,  such  as  absorption,  distribution,  metabolism, route of elimination or plasma protein binding (PPB), considerably influence their  therapeutic  success,  while  a  number  of  the  molecular  physicochemical properties  of  the  drug  notably  influence  all  these  processes.  Lipophilicity (log P), molecular weight (Mw), volume (Vol), polar surface area (PSA) and solubility (log S) play important roles in drug absorption, penetration into tis-sues, distribution and route of elimination or the degree of plasma protein bind-ing. In this study, the relationships between these five molecular properties of eight  antifungal  drugs  and  their  plasma  protein  binding  data  obtained  from relevant literature were investigated. The Selected physicochemical molecular descriptors of the drug were calculated using software packages. The estab-lished relationships between PPB and PSA; Mw; Vol and log S were showed relatively poor correlation (r < 0.35). The best correlation was obtained for the relationship  between PPB  data  and  the  lipophilicity  descriptor X  log P3 (correlation coefficient r = 0.55). In further investigation, multiple linear reg-ression analysis was applied. The best correlation was obtained with applicat-ion of lipophilicity with polar surface area (r = 0.918) and volume (r = 0.916) or molecular weight (r = 0.896) as independent variables.

Their  properties,  such  as  absorption,  distribution,  metabolism, route of elimination or plasma protein binding (PPB), considerably influence their  therapeutic  success,  while  a  number  of  the  molecular  physicochemical properties  of  the  drug  notably  influence  all  these  processes.  Lipophilicity (log P), molecular weight (Mw), volume (Vol), polar surface area (PSA) and solubility (log S) play important roles in drug absorption, penetration into tis-sues, distribution and route of elimination or the degree of plasma protein bind-ing. In this study, the relationships between these five molecular properties of eight  antifungal  drugs  and  their  plasma  protein  binding  data  obtained  from relevant literature were investigated. The Selected physicochemical molecular descriptors of the drug were calculated using software packages. The estab-lished relationships between PPB and PSA; Mw; Vol and log S were showed relatively poor correlation (r < 0.35). The best correlation was obtained for the relationship  between PPB  data  and  the  lipophilicity  descriptor X  log P3 (correlation coefficient r = 0.55). In further investigation, multiple linear reg-ression analysis was applied. The best correlation was obtained with applicat-ion of lipophilicity with polar surface area (r = 0.918) and volume (r = 0.916) or molecular weight (r = 0.896) as independent variables., Антифунгалнасредствапредстављајугрупулековакојисепримењујуулечењугљи-вичнихинфекција, данасширокораспрострањенихмеђуглобалномпопулацијом.

AB  - An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favour of oxidants, potentially leading to damage, is termed oxidative stress. Antioxidants (AO), either enzymatic or non-enzymatic, are the ones that can reduce diverse effects of pro-oxidants such as DNA, proteins and lipids damage. Chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propen- 1-ones) are open chain flavonoids that are widely biosynthesized in plants. Aim of this study was to test antioxidative potency of 15 chalcones (Chs) in in vitro model in serum (native conditions), so as with exogenously induced oxidative stress. Material and methods: Oxidative stress was induced in serum samples of healthy individuals with 0.25 mmol/L terc-buthyl-hydroperoxide (TBH), and then we monitored the effects of various concentrations of chalcones on oxidative stress parameters: total antioxidative status (TAS), total oxidative status (TOS), total concentration of sulfhydryl group (SHG) and prooxidative-antioxidative balance (PAB), and calculated prooxidative score, antioxidative score, and oxy score (OS). Nonparametric repeated measures ANOVA (Friedman's test) was used for comparison of antioxidative potency of samples with 15 different chalcones, in a native state and upon TBH influence. Spearman's nonparametric correlation analysis was used for estimation of relation between different parameters. Results: Negative Oxy Score (OS) values for Chs11-15 showed significantly stronger antioxidative potency compared to other investigated chalcones (p < 0.05). Ch11, Ch13 and Ch14 remained with negative OS even after TBH addition, whereas OS of Ch12 and Ch15 became positive, with small nominal values. Samples with Ch11 and Ch13 showed significant negative correlation between TAS and TOS (p < 0.05 for both), but in Ch14 sample the negative correlation existed between TAS and PAB (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Lower value of OS (i.e. better antioxidative potency) was noticed in samples with Ch11-Ch15. Electron-donor effects of substituent groups as a structural part of these chalcones could explain its antioxidative capability. Phenolic and methyl groups are responsible for antioxidative ability enhancement of five chalcones with the best activity.

AB  - The appearance of the face is one of the most important factors influencing our perception of beauty. However, few studies have attempted to quantitate what one perceives as beauty. Therefore, this study was conducted with the goal of providing physicians with anatomical data that demonstrate which facial traits most influence our perception of one's attractiveness. In the first phase of the study, faces of 60 participants (30 males and 30 females) were photographed. Next, the photographs were shown to another group of 120 study members (60 males and 60 females), who evaluated the facial features using a Visual Analogue Scale. The highest rated facial parts were then measured using the ImageJ program. In men, the most attractive parts of the face were Type 1:2 lips, a Type IV nose of medium width, blue eyes, brown hair, and a very narrow face. Among females, the most attractive parts of the face were Type 2:1 lips, Type III and V noses of medium width, dark brown eyes, blonde hair, and a narrow face. This is the first study in which the most aesthetically important facial parts have been comprehensively examined. The results obtained in our study show a higher degree of representativeness compared to other studies due to a different methodological approach and can be used as an aesthetic guide and can help in the planning of aesthetic surgery such as lip augmentation and rhinoplasty.

AB  - The pK(a) values of twelve beta-hydroxy-beta-arylalkanoic acids and ibuprofen were determined using a modified RP-HPLC method. The stationary phase was octadecyl modified (C-18) silica gel, and the mobile phases were mixtures of methanol and one of ten different buffers (60: 40 volume ratio). The mean retention time of each compound was plotted against the pH of each of the ten used mobile phases. The inflection point of the obtained sigmoidal curve represents the (s)(w)pK(a) of a compound. Using (s)(w)pKa in previously established equations for the specific methanol/buffer mixture, the (w)(w)pK(a) values (in pure water) were calculated. The obtained wwpKa values for the synthesized compounds were in a range from 3.40 to 3.74, and the (w)(w)pK(a) for ibuprofen was 4.27. The Predicted pK(a) values for this type of compounds in the MarvinSketch 5.11.5. Program were in poor correlation with the experimental results, while in ACD//I-Labs pK(a) values were calculated as a wide range.

AB  - Context: Polyphenols and flavonoids in artichoke leaf tincture (ALT) protect cells against oxidative damage. Objectives: We examined ALT effects on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage and lipid profiles in rat plasma and gene expression in rat aorta [haemeoxygenase-1 (HO1), haemeoxygenase-2 (HO2), NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX-4), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)]. Materials and methods: Eighteen male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups (n=6/group): The control group (CG) was fed with standard pellet chow for 11 weeks; the AD group was fed for a similar period of time with pellet chow supplemented with 2% cholesterol, 3% sunflower oil and 1% sodium cholate. The ADA group was fed with pellet chow (for 1 week), the atherogenic diet (see above) for the following 4 weeks and then with ALT (0.1 mL/kg body weight) and atherogenic diet for 6 weeks. According to HPLC analysis, the isolated main compounds in ALT were chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin and rutin. Results: Normalized HO-1 [0.11 (0.04-0.24)] and MCP-1 [0.29 (0.21-0.47)] mRNA levels and DNA scores [12.50 (4.50-36.50)] were significantly lower in the ADA group than in the AD group [0.84 (0.35-2.51)], p = 0.021 for HO-1 [0.85 (0.61-3.45)], p = 0.047 for MCP-1 and [176.5 (66.50-221.25)], p = 0.020 for DNA scores. HO-1 mRNA was lower in the ADA group than in the CG group [0.30 (0.21-0.71), p = 0.049]. Conclusions: Supplementation with ALT limited the effects of the atherogenic diet through reduced MCP-1 expression, thereby preventing oxidative damage.

AB  - Paraoxonases isoenzymes, PON1, PON2 and PON3, have important antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties in blood and cells. They prevent oxidation of low and high density lipoprotein particles, foam cells formation and development of atherosclerosis. The authors investigated effects of high fat diet and atorvastatin therapy on paraoxonases gene expression levels and distribution in different rat organs. Liver, white adipose tissue (WAT) and aorta were taken from young male Wistar rats that were fed with normal diet (ND), atherogenic diet (AD) and atherogenic diet with 1.14 mg of atorvastatin per kg (ADA). Messenger RNA (mRNA) relative levels of paraoxonase 1 (PON1), paraoxonase 2 (PON2) and paraoxonase 3 (PON3) were measured in rat organs using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PON1 mRNA expression levels were down-regulated in ADA compared to AD group. ND group had significantly lower PON2 mRNA expression than AD group. PON1 mRNA expression levels were higher in liver than in aorta in group of rats on ND, AD and ADA. PON2 mRNA expression was higher in WAT than in aorta only in ADA group of rats. PON2 and PON3 were significantly higher than PON1 in aorta of rats on each ND, AD or ADA.
