Abstract In an effort to identify potent aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors, 5-(arylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-diones (1–8), which were prepared by the solvent-free reaction of 2,4-thiazolidinedione with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of urea, were examined for their in vitro AR inhibitory activities and cytotoxicity. 5-(2-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (3) was the most potent AR inhibitor in this series, exerting uncompetitive inhibition with a K i value of 0.445 ± 0.013 µM. The IC50 value of compound 3 for L929 mouse fibroblast cells was determined as 8.9 ± 0.66 µM, pointing out its safety as an AR inhibitor. Molecular docking studies suggested that compound 3 exhibited good affinity to the binding site of AR (PDB ID: 4JIR). Based upon in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion data, the compound is predicted to have favorable pharmacokinetic features. Taking into account the in silico and in vitro data, compound 3 stands out as a potential orally bioavailable AR inhibitor for the management of diabetic complications as well as nondiabetic diseases.

Reactive Compatibilizer

In the present investigation, a compatibilized blend of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is prepared by using copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate (EMA) as a reactive compatibilizer. Detailedin vitrobiocompatibility studies were carried out for this compatibilized blend and the material was found noncytotoxic towards L929 mouse fibroblast subcutaneous connective tissue cell line. Microporosity was created on the surface of membranes prepared from the blend material by adopting the crazing mechanism. Cell proliferation and growth studies on the membranes surface showed that the microporous surface favoured ingrowth of the cells compared with a nonmicroporous surface. Suture holding strength studies indicate that the microporous membranes have enough strength to withstand the cutting and tearing forces through the suture hole. This blend material could be evaluated further to find its suitability in various implant applications.

Objective: Unlike traditional composite resins, bulk-fill composite resins could be polymerized as thicker layers. This study aims to contribute to the field by investigating the cytotoxic effects of various bulk-fill composite resins on L929 mouse fibroblast cells in vitro. Material and Methods: In our study, six bulk fill and one conventional composite resin were used. Composite resin samples (8×4 mm) were prepared in a sterile cabinet by using a glass mod and polymerizing with a led light device (DTE LUX E, Germany). Composite samples (n:3) of which surface area was calculated according to ISO 10993-12: 2012 standards (3 cm2/ml), were kept in media for 24 h and 72 h in 37 oC incubator, their extracts were filtered in 1:1 and 1:2 proportion and were added on L929 mouse fibroblast cells. Cell viability was examined by the MTT assay and cell death by the LDH test. Cell viability results were evaluated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test (p<0.05). Results: When the 1:1 extracts from 4 mm thick bulk-fill composite samples were applied on L929 mouse fibroblast cells, cell viability rates showed significant differences compared to the control group at the end of 24 h and 72 h (except for Estelite Bulk Fill Flow). Although the extracts of the tested composite samples at 1:1 and 1:2 ratio at the end of 72 hours caused a decrease in L929 mouse fibroblast cell viability, the cell viability rate of only PRG-containing bulk fill composite and conventional composite remained below the cell viability ratio (70%) specified in ISO standards. Bulk fill composites did not produce toxic effects (except Beautifil Bulk Restorative) according to the LDH test. Conclusions: Despite decreasing in general the cell viability, bulk-fill composite resins used in 4 mm thick layers provided cell viability rates over the acceptability level, except PRG-containing bulk fill composite (Beautifil Bulk Restorative), which was cytotoxic to L929 mouse fibroblasts.

Peritoneal adhesion is one of the most common postsurgical complications and can cause bowel obstruction, pelvic pain, and infertility. Setting up a physical barrier directly between the injured site and surrounding tissues is an effective solution for preventing this adverse situation. This study investigated a chitosan electrospun membrane (CSEM) as a potent anti-adhesion barrier, which was prepared by a needleless technology called Nanospider. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that CSEM is a laminated nanofiber with good mechanical properties. The fiber is uniform with the diameter distributing in the range of 100–120 nm. The tensile strength can reach 27.45 ± 6.30 MPa with a maximum elongation at break of 18.50 ± 1.44%, which makes it stick easily to damaged parts but not to be easily damaged by tissue friction. The growth of S. aureus on CSEM was 59.18% lower than the control at 10 h, which indicates its better antibacterial property. In addition, CSEM has good coagulant and biocompatibility characteristics. It can perform hemostatic function within 10 min and the L929 mouse fibroblast viability on it was 92.18% ± 1.08% on the seventh day. In vivo experiments indicated that CSEM significantly prevented peritoneal adhesions within four weeks after surgery with wound surface coverage. These results indicate that CSEM is a promising anti-adhesion barrier material.

<p>This study was performed to identify new inhibitors of protein glycation <em>in vitro</em>. Protein glycation is one of the major causes of late diabetic complications. In this study, terpenoids and alkaloids, isolated from different medicinal plants, along with their derivatives, were evaluated for their antiglycation activity <em>in vitro,</em> while MTT assay on mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells was used to assess their potential cytotoxicity. Among the tested compounds, gossypol (2,2′-<em>bis</em>-(formyl-1,6,7-trihydroxy-5-isopropyl-3-methylnaphthalene) (<strong>1</strong>), isolated from<em> Gossypium herbaceum, </em>and its derivatives,<em> </em>gossypol acetic acid (<strong>2</strong>), gossypolidene- 4-aminoantipyrine (<strong>4</strong>), and gazolidone (<strong>6</strong>), showed a potent antiglycation activity (IC<sub>50</sub> &lt; 16 <em>µ</em>M), while gossypolidene-4-aminoantipyrine (<strong>5</strong>) showed a significant antiglycation activity with IC<sub>50 </sub>value 82.934±2.924<em> µ</em>M, in BSA-fluorescence assay. Alkaloid, noscapine (3S)-6,7-Dimethoxy-3-[(5R)-4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahy-dro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl] isobenzofuran-1(3<em>H</em>)-one (<strong>7</strong>), isolated from <em>Papaver somniferum, N</em>-nitrosoaphyllinic acid (<strong>9</strong>), a derivative of alkaloid aphylline<em>, </em>and 2<em>H</em>-quinolizine, octahydro salt (<strong>11</strong>), a salt of alkaloid lupinine, exhibited significant inhibition activity with<em> </em>IC<sub>50 </sub>values 152.662±5.432, 393.758 ±4.001 µM and 110.203±4.816µM, respectively. Similarly, compounds<strong> </strong>gossypolidene thiocarbamide (<strong>3</strong>), deoxypeganine hydrochloride (<strong>8</strong>)<strong>, </strong>lupinine (<strong>10</strong>) and cytisine (<strong>12</strong>) showed moderate inhibition with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 401.865 ±18.450, 863.322 ±6.415, 712.176±7.745, and 728.462±2.331<em> </em>µM, respectively. The results were compared with the standard antiglycation agent, rutin (<strong>13</strong>) (IC<sub>50 </sub>=98.012±2.030 µM).</p>Cellular cytotoxicity assay showed only gossypol acetic acid (<strong>2</strong>) and gossypolidene thiocarbamide (<strong>3</strong>) as somewhat toxic to 3T3 (mouse fibroblast) cells with IC<sub>50 </sub>values<em> </em>2.07 ±0.61 and 5.00 ±1.89 µM, respectively. Cycloheximide was used as a standard in this assay with IC<sub>50</sub> value 0.3 ± 0.089 μM

Synthesis of the C19-truncated maltepolide E has been accomplished via a diene–ene RCM strategy without damage to the C11–C14 alkenyl epoxy unit. Upon release of the C17-OH group, it attacked at the C14 position with double bond migration and epoxide ring-opening to furnish the C19-truncated maltepolide A and B as proposed for the biosynthesis of maltepolides. Preliminary cytotoxicity data of the synthesized C19-truncated maltepolides against L929 mouse fibroblast cell line suggest irrelevance of the vinyl epoxide and importance of the conjugated dienyl keto unit for the observed anticancer activity.
