Design of pharmacophoric group containing 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives and determination of spectrum of pharmacological activities
2017
Vairākkārtīgi ir uzsvērts, ka 1,4-dihidropiridīna cikls ir viens no farmakoloģiski priviliģētām struktūrām, kas iedarbojas uz jonu kanāliem un dažādiem receptoriem, un kuru modificējot, sintezējot tās struktūras analogus, variējot aizvietotājus molekulā, būtu iespējams iegūt dažādus farmakoloģiski aktīvus savienojumus. Pētījumā ir sintezēti jauni, mērķtiecīgi dizainēti, farmakoforas grupas saturoši 1,4-dihidropiridīna atvasinājumi, sistemātiski mainot farmakoforās grupas (piridīniju un/vai propargil) un to atrašanās vietu molekulā. Izvērtēts sintezēto savienojumu farmakoloģiskās darbības spektrs (aktivitāte uz kalcija kanāliem, antiradikālā aktivitāte un reducējošā kapacitāte), veidots stru…
Chemical Composition Analysis, Antimicrobial Activity and Cytotoxicity Screening of Moss Extracts (Moss Phytochemistry)
2015
Mosses have been neglected as a study subject for a long time. Recent research shows that mosses contain remarkable and unique substances with high biological activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, was to analyze the composition of mosses and to screen their antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The total concentration of polyphenols and carbohydrates, the amount of dry residue and the radical scavenging activity were determined for a preliminary evaluation of the chemical composition of moss extracts. In order to analyze and identify the substances present in mosses, two types of extrahents (chloroform, ethanol) and the GC/MS and LC-TOF-MS methods were used. The antimicrobial activ…
Optimisation of Conditions for Extraction of Biologically Active Compounds from Common Bryophytes in Latvia / Latvijâ Augoðu Briofîtu Ekstrakcijas Ap…
2015
Abstract Bryophytes are the second largest taxonomic group in the plant kingdom. They contain a high number of biologically active compounds. Studies of their composition are important for understanding evolutionary processes in the plant kingdom. The aim of this study was to assess bryophyte secondary metabolite extraction options and to increase the yields of polyphenols and substances determining the free radical scavenging activity of bryophyte extracts. Similar studies have been conducted using higher plants as model organisms, but not using bryophytes. Comparison of five extraction methods (conventional, Soxhlet extraction, treatment with microwaves, ultrasound, and supercritical CO2 …
Polyphenols and Pharmacological Screening of a Monarda fistulosa L. dry Extract Based on a Hydrodistilled Residue By-Product
2021
This study aimed to determine the composition and content of polyphenols in the dry extract obtained from the hydrodistilled residue by-product of the wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa L., Lamiaceae Martinov family) herb (MFDE) and to evaluate its safety and pharmacological properties. The total phenolic content (TPC) in the MFDE was 120.64 mg GAE/g. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed the presence of a plethora of phenolic compounds, including hydroxycinnamic acids and flavone derivatives in the MFDE, with rosmarinic acid and luteolin-7-O-glucoside being the main components. With an IC50 value of 0.285 mg/mL, it was found to be a strong DPPH radical scavenger. …
