ABSTRACT
The reaction of (2E)-N-phenyl-2-[(2E)-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-yl-idene]hydra-zine-carbo-thio-amide (common name: cinnamaldehyde-4-phenyl-thio-semi-carbazone) deprotonated with NaOH in ethanol with an ethano-lic suspension of PdII chloride in a 2:1 molar ratio yielded the title compound, [Pd(C16H14N3S)2]. The anionic ligands act as metal chelators, κ2 N 1 S-donors, forming five-membered rings with a trans-configuration. The PdII ion is fourfold coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. For each ligand, one Hâ¯S and one Hâ¯N intra-molecular inter-actions are observed, with S(5) and S(6) graph-set motifs. Concerning the Hâ¯S inter-actions, the coordination sphere resembles a hydrogen-bonded macrocyclic environment-type. In the crystal, the complexes are linked via pairs of Hâ¯S inter-actions, with graph-set motif R 2 2(8), and building a mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbon along [001]. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are: Hâ¯H (45.3%), Hâ¯C/Câ¯H (28.0%), Hâ¯S/Sâ¯H (8.0%) and Hâ¯N/Nâ¯H (7.4%).
ABSTRACT
The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a common outcome caused by organophosphorus (OPs) intoxication. Although inconsistent, the standard treatment consists of a muscarinic receptor antagonist (atropine) and AChE-reactivating molecules such as oximes. This study proposes to test unpublished compounds which contain the moieties of isatin and/or oxime have protective effects against the toxicity induced by malathion in two animal models: Artemia salina and Rattus norvegicus (Wistar rats). The lethality was assessed in A salina, and the calculated LD50 to (3Z)-5-chloro-3-(hydroxyimino) indolin-2-one oxime (Câ-HIN) and 2-(5-chloro-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-hydrazinecarbothioamide (Câ-OXHS) was higher than 1000 µM while to 3-(phenylhydrazono) butan-2-one oxime (PHBO) was 38 µM. Our screening showed that Câ-HIN seems to be the most promising molecule, with low toxicity to A salina, protection against mortality (with or without atropine) and AChE inhibition induced by malathion. Similarly, the oral administration of 300 mg/kg of Câ-HIN induced low or no toxicity in rats. The plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and cortical AChE activities were reactivated by Câ-HIN (50 mg/kg, p.o.) in rats exposed to malathion (250 mg/kg, i.p). No difference was observed in paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity among groups treated. In conclusion, Câ-HIN restored the cholinesterase activities inhibited by malathion in A salina and rats with low toxicity in both. Thus, the data provide evidence that Câ-HIN, a compound that combines isatin and oxime functional groups, is safe and has important properties to reactivate the cholinesterases inhibited by malathion. In addition, we demonstrate the importance of a preliminary assessment in an alternative model in order to reduce the use of mammalians in drug discovery.

BACKGROUND: Organophosphorus pesticides (OP's) are heavily constituted in agriculture, gardens, home and veterinary and although it is useful, there are concerns about the environment, safety and health of human and animals. In this study, we investigated the effects of a new oxime, (3Z)-5-Chloro-3-(Hydroxyimino)indolin-2-one (OXIME) against the alterations induced by malathion, an OP insecticide, acute exposure on markers of hepatic damage, glucose homeostasis, oxidative stress in rats cholinesterase (ChE) activity in rats. METHODS: Adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Control; Malathion; OXIME; and Malathion+OXIME. Twelve hours after co-treatment with malathion (250 mg/kg, i.p.) and/or OXIME (50 mg/kg, i.g.), the plasma and liver samples were collected for biochemical analyses. RESULTS: The OXIME blocked the increase of plasma markers of hepatic function (AST and ALP) and the enzymatic inhibition of catalase and glutathione reductase in the liver of malathion-treated rats. Moreover, the hepatic cholinesterases inhibition induced by malathion acute exposure was suppressed by OXIME treatment. As assessed, a single dose of OXIME lowered the glycemia levels and hepatic glycogen content enhanced by malathion. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests promise effects of (3Z)-5-Chloro-3-(Hydroxyimino) indolin-2-one against the hyperglycemia and the hepatic damage induced by malathion acute exposure, as well as its use as a ChE activity reactivator.
ABSTRACT
The reaction in methanol of CuII acetate monohydrate with 5-fluoro-isatin 3-oxime deprotonated with KOH in a 1:2 molar ratio and recrystallization from pyridine yielded the title compound, [Cu(C8H4FN2O2)2(C5H5N)2]. In the centrosymmetric complex, the anionic form of the isatin oxime acts as a κ2N,O donor, building five-membered metallarings. The CuII cation is sixfold coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment by two trans, equatorial, anionic isatin derivatives and two trans pyridine ligands in axial positions. The complexes are linked by hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network, which is also stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7352â (9)â Å] and C-Hâ¯π contacts. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal packing are Hâ¯H (31.80%), Hâ¯C (24.30%), Hâ¯O (15.20%) and Hâ¯F (10.80%). This work is the second report in the literature of a crystal structure of a coordination compound with isatin 3-oxime ligands (coordination chemistry).
ABSTRACT
The reaction between 5-fluoro-isatin and hydroxyl-amine hydro-chloride in acidic ethanol yields the title compound, C8H5FN2O2, whose mol-ecular structure matches the asymmetric unit and is nearly planar with an r.m.s. deviation for the mean plane through all non-H atoms of 0.0363â Å. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by N-Hâ¯N, N-Hâ¯O and O-Hâ¯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a two-dimensional network along the (100) plane, forming rings with R22 (8) and R12 (5) graph-set motifs. The crystal packing also features weak π-π inter-actions along the [100] direction [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.9860â (5)â Å]. Additionally, the Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal structure are the Oâ¯H (28.50%) and Hâ¯F (16.40%) inter-actions. An in silico evaluation of the title compound with the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) was carried out. The title compound and the selected biological target VEGFR-2 show the N-Hâ¯O(GLU94), (CYS96)N-Hâ¯O(isatine) and (PHE95)N-Hâ¯O(isatine) inter-molecular inter-actions, which suggests a solid theoretical structure-activity relationship.
