Abstract
Allyloxy, Isopentenyloxy, geranyloxy and farnesyloxy derivatives of 3-carboxycoumarin, at position 5, 6, 7, and 8, were synthesized and their inhibitory potency against human 15-lipoxygenase-1 (human 15-LOX-1) were determined. Among the synthetic coumarins, O-allyl and O-isopentenyl derivatives demonstrated no considerable lipoxygenase inhibition while O-geranyl and O-farnesyl derivatives demonstrated potent inhibitory activity. 5-farnesyloxy-3-carboxycoumarin demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity by IC50 = 0.74 μM while 6-farnesyloxy-3-carboxycoumarin was the weakest inhibitor among farnesyl analogs (IC50 = 10.4 μM). Bonding affinity of the designed molecular structures toward 15-LOX-1 3D structure complexed with RS75091, as potent 15-LOX-1 inhibitor, was studied by utilizing docking analysis. There was a direct relationship between lipoxygenase inhibitory potency and prenyl length chain. The ability of the prenyl portion to fill the lipophilic pocket which is formed by Ile663, Ala404, Arg403, Ile400, Ile173 and Phe167 side chains can explain the observed relationship. Similarity rate between the docked models and complexed form of RS75091, from point of view of configuration and conformation, could explain inhibitory potency variation between each prenyloxy substitution of 3-carboxycoumarins.

Introduction
15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) or reticulocyte 15-LOX is one of the most important enzyme of lipoxygenase family (5-LOX, 8-LOX, 12-LOX, 15-LOX-1 and 15-LOX-2) and for the first time, it was isolated from reticulocyte and eosinophil cells [1]. The activity of 15-lipoxygenase is greater in eosinophils when compared to other leukocytes by more than 100-fold [2].
In terms of aliphatic chain length, 15-LOX-1 shows wide substrate specificity: it can oxygenate unsaturated C18, C20, and C22 fatty acids [3]. The optimal substrate for 15-LOX-1 is linoleic acid [4], producing 13(S)-HPODE [5]. The reaction with arachidonic acid mainly forms 15(S)-HPETE and also 12(S)-HPETE as a side product [4, 5]. 15-LOX-1 is involved in the controlled degradation of reticulocyte mitochondria during the maturation of red cells [6]. It preferentially acts on mitochondrial membranes when compared with cell membranes, leading to the inactivation of respiratory enzymes [7]. It can change the mitochondrial pH gradient, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and finally the release of cytochrome c [8]. 15-LOX-1 protein expression is regulated during the maturation of red cells; it is not expressed in bone marrow, but the expression begins in the transition phase from late erythroblast to early reticulocyte stages [9].
With respect to atherogenesis, there are two considerable differences between 15-LOX-1 and other mammalian LOXes. As earlier mentioned, the optimal substrate for 15-LOX-1 is linoleic acid, which is abundant in LDL and it can also oxygenate fatty acid esters in more complex substrates such as cholesterol esters, phospholipids, lipoproteins, and biomembranes [4].
15-LOX-1 has been documented as a target for decreasing the biosynthesis of eoxines, one of the known pro-inflammatory mediators [10]. The 15-LOX-1 pathway has been demonstrated to generate eoxines in eosinophils, mast cells, and nasal polyps from allergic subjects, indicating that inhibition of 15-LOX-1 might be an attractive target for the treatment of inflammatory respiratory disorders such as asthma, rhinitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in humans.
The critical role of the 15-LOX-1 metabolite (13-HODE) in the progression of prostate cancers and the inhibition of 15-LOX-1 activity for apoptosis induction in PC3 cells has been demonstrated. Human prostate tumors and prostate cancer cell lines express 15-LOX-1 and produce the 15-LOX-1 metabolite 13-HODE [11, 12].
15-LOX-1 can generate and develop atherosclerosis by oxidizing LDL cholesterol esters and phospholipids and its progression can be limited by some specific 15-LOX-1 inhibitors [1].
Human l5-LOX-1 may be one of the key mediators in neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer, because it is triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increased amounts of 15-LOX-1 have been found in experimental stroke in mice and in early phases of Alzheimer’s in humans. Cell culture studies have implicated l5-LOX-1 in neuronal models of oxidative stress related to Alzheimer’s [13] and Parkinson’s diseases [14].
The potential role of 15-LOX-1 in the development of obesity, particularly in adipocyte differentiation and the development of abdominal visceral obesity has also been documented [1].
Based on the above mentioned disorders, there is considerable interest in the development and evaluation of 15-LOX-1 inhibitors for therapeutic applications. In this study, based on our previous study on O-prenylated coumarins as 15-LOX inhibitors, [15] new derivatives of O-prenylated 3-carboxycoumarin involving farnesyloxy, geranyloxy and isopentenyloxy substituents at positions 5, 6, 7 and 8 of coumarin ring where designed, synthesized and their inhibitory potency against human 15-LOX-1 with SAR studies have been carried out.
Results and discussion
All of the O-prenylated 3-carboxycoumarins: 4a-d, 8a-d, 12a-d and 18a-d (Fig 1) were synthesized by the alkylation of ethyl or methyl ester of a hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (compounds: 2, 6, 10 or 16) with the desired prenyl bromide in the presence of sodium hydride in DMF and finally, the hydrolysis of the ester group by sodium hydroxide in a mixture of THF and methanol [16]. Compounds 2, 6 and 10 were synthesized through Knoevenagel condensation of dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1, 5 and 9 respectively) with diethyl malonate [17] while compound 16 was prepared through esterification (with methanol) of demethylated form of coumarin 14. Compound 14 was synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of ortho-vanilline (13) and malonic acid [18] Synthesis of compound 16 starting from dihydroxybenzaldehyde leads to low yield (Fig 1).
The inhibitory activity of the synthetic compounds against human 15-LOX-1 was determined utilizing modified catalytic oxidative coupling of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone (MBTH) with 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (DMAB) as reported in previous studies [15, 19]. In this method, the basis for the determination of lipoxygenase activity is the measurement of peroxide concentration. Human 15-LOX-1 was prepared from isolated human eosinophil based on the procedure reported by Sigal et al [2]. In this procedure, 15-LOX-1 was partially purified utilizing ammonium sulfate precipitation method with activity of 104 nmol.mL-1.min-1 for 13(S)-HPODE formation. Because of the instability of the purified 15-LOX-1, the crude form of the enzyme was utilized [20]. Eosinophils from blood of hypereosinophilic donors (8–11% eosinophils) were purified to more than 85% through “hypotonic lysis and centrifugation” method reported by Samoszuk [21].
Among the synthetic coumarins, O-allyl and O-isopentenyl derivatives (a and b series) demonstrated no considerable lipoxygenase inhibition while O-geranyl and O-farnesyl derivatives (c and d series) demonstrated potent inhibitory activity at IC50 value below 11 μM compared to 4-MMPB (IC50 = 16.8 μM) (Table 1), as standard 15-LOX inhibitors [19, 22]. In all, 5-O-prenylated coumarins: 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d, demonstrated the best inhibitory activity at IC50 values of 93.5, 62.5, 4.8 and 0.74 μM, in contrast with their related isomers from each of the synthetic groups (4, 8, 12 and 18), respectively.
The data are shown as ± SD (n = 3).
By using the DPPH bleaching test, no radical scavenging activity was observed for the synthetic coumarins up to 250 μM when compared with NDGA (nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and ascorbic acid (50 μM).
Determination of the type of enzyme inhibition using Lineweaver–Burk plot showed that the mentioned compounds inhibit lipoxygenase activity by competitive mechanism (Fig 2).
The Y-intercept average (1/Vmax) of the Lineweaver-Burk plot is 376 ± 45 min.Abs-1 and KM = 8.73 ± 0.43 μM. The error bars are stated as ± SD (n = 4).
In order to find more information about the mechanism of action of the inhibitors, molecular models of the enzyme-inhibitor complex were simulated for the synthetic coumarins utilizing X-ray 3D structures of rabbit 15-LOX-1 (PDB entry: 2P0M). There is acceptable homology between the human 15-LOX-1 and rabbit 15-LOX-1 (positives: 91%, identities: 81%, extracted from NCBI-BLAST) [23]. This homology increases to 99% around 20 Å in the active site pocket. Therefore, the 3D structure of rabbit 15-LOX-1 was utilized instead of human type in docking analysis. For docking process, the FeII core of the 2P0M was modified to FeIII-OH [15] (It is the natural form of the lipoxygenase iron core before initiating the catalytic reaction) [24, 25].
Bonding affinity of the designed molecular structures toward rabbit 15-LOX-1 was studied. Docked conformers were generated in AutoDockTools (ADT) software. In docking process, flexible side chain of the active site pocket residues of rabbit 15-LOX-1 were allowed to be rotatable based on previous study: Phe353, Leu408, Phe415, Ile418, Met419, Ile593, Leu597.[15]
To perform better analysis on docking results, the average Ki (estimated inhibitory constant) of the most populated cluster (KiMPC), average of all the lowest Ki from each cluster (KiLEC), average Ki of all the conformers (KiAC) and average Ki of a cluster in which lactone portion of coumarin directed towards Fe-OH core (KiLFC), were calculated for each compound (Table 2). The aforementioned inhibitory constants were easily calculated from docked enzyme-inhibitor binding free energy (ΔGb) by using of the Gibbs equation: ΔGb = 2.3RTLogKi. For LFC if there was more than one cluster with the same situation (for each compound), one with the lowest average Ki was utilized for analysis. Among the four clusters, there was only an acceptable convergence between KiLFC and Kiexp results with R-square of 0.94 (Fig 3). This convergence was significantly observed for farnesyl and geranyl derivatives. Kiexp was calculated by using of the Cheng-Prusoff equation which has been defined for competitive inhibition: Kiexp = IC50/(1+[S]/Km); Km = 8.73 μM, [S] = 200 μM.
N = number of conformers. The data are shown as ± SEM.
The data are presented as ± SEM.
In the earlier mentioned cluster (LFC), most of the conformers have hydrogen bonds with Fe-OH core through their carboxylic acid moiety and their prenyl portion are covered by side chain of Leu173, Leu362, His363, His366 Ile400, Arg403, Ala404, Leu408, Val409, Phe415 and Ile663 (Fig 4). In the above mentioned cluster, the coumarin rings are surrounded by Phe353, Glu357, Met419, Gln548, Ile593, Val594, and Leu597 (Fig 4). Among all the conformers in a cluster, the one with the least Ki was named as ‘consensus structure’ (Fig 4). The results imply that the hydrogen bonding between Fe-OH core and carboxylic acid portion of the coumarin ring beside the hydrophobic interaction of prenyl moiety with the side chain of lipophilic residues are the major factors in managing the inhibitory potency of the mentioned compounds.
(A) Stick view of bonding conformer with the lowest Ki which relates to the compounds 4d, 8d, 12d and 18d from the LFC cluster (consensus structures). (B) Stick view of consensus structure of compound 4d and its hydrogen bonding (dash line) with Fe-OH core. (C) Stick and solvent surface view of the rabbit 15-LOX-1 active site residues interactions with the consensus structure of 4d.
It is interesting to note that the mentioned conformation of the docked inhibitors are similar to RS75091 ((2E)-3-(2-oct-1-yn-1-ylphenyl)acrylic acid) complex with Rabbit 15-LOX-1 in the X-ray 3D of 2P0M [26]. This similarity is highly considerable for compound 4c (Fig 5).
When the consensus structure of 4c and 4d from the desired cluster (LFC) are superimposed on the 3D structure of 2P0M-RS75091 complex, a high similarity is seen between the situations of 4c, 4d and RS75091 especially for coumarin and acrylic moieties (Fig 6 - left). The space occupancy of geranyl moiety of 4c is similar to octynyl portion of RS75091. This occupancy is formed in the cavity shaped by side chain of Ile663, Ala404, Arg403, Ile400, Ile173 and Phe167. The main part of the cavity is not occupied by aliphatic portions of 4c and RS75091 but most of this lipophilic space is filled by farnesyl moiety of 4d (Fig 6 - left). The similarity rate between the docked models and complexed form of RS75091, from the point of view of configuration and conformation, could be another reason for the explanation of lipoxygenase inhibitory potency variation of the synthetic 3-carboxycoumarins. In addition, the ability of the prenyl portion of the compounds to fill the lipophilic pocket which is formed by Ile663, Ala404, Arg403 (butyl portion of the Arg side chain), Ile400, Ile173 and Phe167 side chains can explain the direct relationship between lipoxygenase inhibition potency and prenyl length chain. The importance of the above mentioned cavity for substrate binding in mammalian 15-lipoxygenase and also the effective role of Arg403, Ile400 and Ile173 in its functionality has been well documented in previous studies [25, 26].
In both figures, Ile663 is not shown.
To find the effect of carboxylic acid moiety on inhibitory potency, lipoxygenase inhibition of the synthetic compounds was also compared to the related analogs with no carboxylic acid substituent. For this purpose, lipoxygenase inhibitory of O-farnesyl derivatives of 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-hydroxycoumarin (4d', 8d', 12d' and 18d' respectively), and their inhibitory activity against 15-LOX reported in previous study,[15] were measured in comparison with the present compounds (Fig 7). It was interesting to note that except 4d, the other farnesyl derivative had less lipoxygenase inhibitory potency when compared to the corresponding carboxylate-off analogs by 1.5 to 10 folds. 4d with farnesyloxy substituent at position 5 had higher lipoxygenase inhibitory activity by 2 folds while 8d with 6-farnesyloxy substituent showed lower activity by 10 folds when compared to 4d' and 8d'.
The situation of coumarin moiety of the docked conformers of O-prenylated 3-carboxycoumarins from the mentioned cluster are different from those reported for carboxylate-off analogs in previous study [15], while it is similar for the prenyl portions. In both clusters, prenyl chains are situated in a hydrophobic pocket which is formed by side chain of Ile663, Ala404, Arg403, Ile400, Ile173 and Phe167 (Fig 6 - right). The observed similarity demonstrates the important role of the earlier mentioned hydrophobic pocket for 15-LOX inhibition and it can serve as a lead for designing of new inhibitors.
In spite of reduction in lipoxygenase inhibitory potency of farnesyloxy 3-carboxycoumarins in comparison with the related farnesyloxy coumarin (with exception of compound 4d), it must be considered that the present compounds are soluble in water at physiological pH (pH > 7) due to their carboxylic acid moiety. The above mentioned property can be valuable from the point of view of drug delivery and drug metabolism [27].
Materials and methods
Instruments
The IR spectra were obtained on a 4300 Shimadzu Spectrometer. 1H NMR (300 MHz) was obtained by using a Bruker Avance DRX-300 and -400 Fourier transformer spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (δ) downfield from tetramethylsilane (TMS). The mass spectra were scanned on a Varian Mat CH-7 instrument at 70 eV. Elemental analysis was obtained on a Thermo Finnigan Flash EA microanalyzer. Sonication was down by BANDELIN SONOPULS mini20. All measurements of DPPH bleaching and lipoxygenase activities were carried out using BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode reader. Chemicals were purchased from Aldrich and Merck Co.
Structure optimization
The desired structures were drawn in ChemDraw Ultra 8.0. [28] Then the 2D structures were exported to the HyperChem 8.07 software and geometrically optimized using classic MM+ (RMS gradient = 0.05 kcal mol-1) [29] and semi-empirical AM2 methods (convergence limit = 0.01; Iteration limit = 50; RMS gradient = 0.05 kcal mol-1; Polak-Ribiere optimizer algorithm) to simulating of the 3D structures.
Crystal structure of Rabbit 15-lipoxygenase-1 (Rabbit 15-LO-1) complex with RS75091 was retrieved from RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB entry: 2P0M).
Molecular docking
The ligand of Rabbit 15-LO-1 3D structure was omitted. Then the Fe was modified to FeIII-OH, geometrically optimized by MM+ method in HyperChem8.0 and outputted in pdb format for docking process [15].
Docking of the minimized structures into the active site of 2P0M was down by AutoDock 4.2. [30] The torsion angles of the ligands were identified, bond distances were edited, hydrogens and solvent parameters were added to the enzyme 3D structure. Partial atomic charges were then assigned to the macromolecule as well as ligands (Gasteiger for the ligands and Kollman for the protein).
The docking regions of the enzyme were defined by considering Cartesian chart -53.10, 166.95 and 35.82 as the central of a grid size with 68, 52 and 66 points in X, Y and Z axis. The docking parameter files were generated using Lamarckian genetic algorithm Parameters (GALS) while number of generations and maximum number of energy evaluations was set to 200 and 2,500,000, respectively. The 200 docked complexes were clustered with a root-mean-square deviation tolerance (RMSD) of 2.0 Å. Docking results were submitted to Accelrys Discovery Studio v3.1 [31] for further evaluations.
Enzyme preparation
100 mL of EDTA-anticoagulated blood (800–1100 eosinophils/μL) was added to 2000 mL of distilled water and slowly inverted (repeatedly) for 1 min, after which 200 mL of 10X phosphate-buffer saline was added. The mixture was then centrifuged at 1200 g (5 min), and the supernatant was aspirated. The tan pellet of eosinophils was suspended in 50 mL of distilled water and incubated for a minute, followed by the addition of 5 mL of neutralizing buffer (Tris 1M; pH 7.4). The suspension was centrifuged at 1200 g (5 min) and then washed with normal saline solution and centrifuged at 1200 g (5 min) [21].
The eosinophils pellet (~108 cells; purity > 87%) was suspended in 4 mL potassium phosphate buffer (10 mM; pH 7.0) with protease inhibitor (50 μL of protease inhibitor cocktail; Sigma 13786). Then the mixture was sonicated at 20 KHz for 1 min at 4°C (6 intervals of 10 sec). Cell sonicates were centrifuged at 100,000 g (30 min) [2].
The supernatant was saturated with ammonium sulfate to 30% concentration. After stirring for 30–45 min, precipitated proteins were separated by centrifugation (10,000 g for 20 min). The supernatant was more concentrated to 60%, stirred, and centrifuged as like as before [2]. Both of the pellets (30 and 60%) after dialyzing with 50 mL potassium phosphate buffer solution (10 mM; pH 7.0) on cellulose acetate membrane (MWCO 50 KDa Sigma), due to removing of salts and molecules with M.W. < 50 KDa, were dissolved in the aforementioned buffer (5 mL) and used for enzyme assay. Lipoxygenase activity against substrate linoleic acid (product: 13-HPODE) was determined by using of measuring absorbance increase at 234 nm in Tris buffer (50 mM, pH 7.2) similar to the previous literatures: [32] 0.047 absorbance increase at 234 nm per min per 100 μL in 1 mL reaction medium at 35°C equal to 10.4 nmol production of 13-HPODE per min per 100 μL (104 unit/mL). It is equal to 0.023 absorbance increase at 598 nm per min per 100 μL in 1 mL reaction medium at 30°C by DMAB-MBTH method.
Lipoxygenase inhibitory assessment
Linoleic acid and two assay solutions (A and B) were prepared in advance.
Solution A was 50 mM DMAB in an l00 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Solution B was a mixture of l0 mM MBTH (3 mL), hemoglobin (5 mg/mL, 3 mL) in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 5.0 (25 ml). A linoleic acid solution was prepared by mixing 5.6 mg of linoleic acid (Sigma Aldrich, L1376) with 0.5 mL methanol and then diluted with KOH 100 mM to a final volume of 5 mL (4 mM).
In the standard assay, the sample in DMSO (12.5 μL), 15-LOX-1 (104 units/mL; 30 μL) and phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 (50 mM; 435 μL) were mixed in 48 well plate and perincubation was carried out for 10 min at 30°C. A control test was done with the same volume of ethanol. After the preincubation, linoleic acid solution (25 μL) was added to start the peroxidation reaction at 30°C, and, 10 min later, solution A (135 μL) and then solution B (65 μL) was added to start the color formation. Further, 3 min later, 100 μL of a 2% SDS solution was added to terminate the reaction. The absorbance at 598 nm was compared with the control test [15, 19]. These experiments were performed in triplicate. The data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.01.
Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics
In this kinetic study, the lipoxygenase activity was assayed in Tris buffer (50 mM, pH 7.2). linoleic acid concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.6 mM were made using the 4 mM solution (preparation described in the last section). The enzyme activity was measured in the absence or presence of final concentrations of the inhibitor 4d (0, 0.5, 1 and 2.5 μM).
10 μL of the enzyme solution (104 units/mL) was mixed with mixture of assay buffer (170 μL) and inhibitor (10 μL of ethanol solution of inhibitor or 10 μL of ethanol for absence of the inhibitor) incubated for 10 min at 30°C in UV-transparent 96 well plate. Subsequently, 10 μL of linoleic acid solutions (0.1–1.6 mM) was added to the mixture to start the enzyme reaction. After 10 min, the absorbance was read at 235 nm. By using of the results (reaction velocity (Abs.min-1) and substrate concentrations (μM), Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver-Burk plots, KM and Vmax were derived. All experiments were performed in triplicate. The data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.01.
Determination of DPPH bleaching
25 μM solution of DPPH in absolute ethanol was prepared. This solution was added to an equal volume of the solution of the test compounds (dissolved in ethanol) to obtain a desired concentration. Ethanol was used as control solution. After 30 min at room temperature, the absorbance was read at 517 nm and the significant decrease in absorbance in comparison with the control was recorded [22].

General procedure for preparation of prenyloxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acids (4a-d, 8a-d, 12a-d, 18a-d)
To solution of methanol (3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) and sodium hydroxide 2N (3 mL), prenyloxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters (1 mmol) were added and then heated at 50°C for 2–3 hours, except 5-prenyloxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester that reaction was carried on at room temperature for 8–9 hours.
After acidified the reaction mixture with concentrated hydrochloric acid, aqueous layer extracted with ethylacetate tree times (3×10) and organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with chloroform/methanol or recrystallization from (HOAc/H2O).
