1,2,4-三唑衍生物作为缺血性脑卒中潜在神经保护剂的合成与生物学评价

Abstract

A series of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives 1 – 14 was synthesized to investigate their neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of action. Compounds 5 – 11 noticeably protected PC12 cells from the cytotoxicity of H 2 O 2 or sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Compound 11 was the most effective derivative. Compound 11 chelated Fe (II) iron, scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS), and restored the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Moreover, it enhanced the activity of the antioxidant defense system by increasing the serum level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and promoting the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Compound 11 caused certain improvements in behavior, the cerebral infarction area, and serum levels of biochemical indicators (TNF-α, IL-1β, SOD and MDA) in a rat MCAO model. The lethal dose (LD 50 ) of compound 11 in mice receiving intraperitoneal injections was greater than 400 mg/kg. Meanwhile, pharmacokinetic experiments revealed high bioavailability of this compound after both oral and intravenous administration ( F  = 60.76%, CL = 0.014 mg/kg/h) and a longer half-life (4.26 and 5.11 h after oral and intravenous administration, respectively). Based on these findings, compound 11 may be a promising neuroprotectant for the treatment of ischemic stroke .
