High-molecular-weight poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) has a low reactivity toward its terminal functional groups. Thus, the chemical reactivity of PHB was enhanced by the chemical degradation that occurred via β-elimination through the functionalization of PHB with ethylene glycol to give a low-molecular-weight PHB-diol. The reaction of PHB-diol with acryloyl chloride gave PHB-diacrylate, which was grafted by thiol compounds, such as ethane dithiol, 2-mercaptoethanol, ethane thiol, dithiothreitol, butane thiol, and thioglycolic acid, via a Michael-type addition reaction. The chemical and thermal properties of the functionalized PHB-thiol products were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR, gel permeation chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. X-ray diffraction showed that the PHB-thiol polymers had slight differences in crystallinity compared with neat PHB. The biological activities of the neat polymer and new PHB-thiol polymers, including the antibacterial and anticancer activities, were tested, and some of these products showed antibacterial and anticancer activities. These anticancer activities were attributed to the ability of these PHB-thiol polymers to induce apoptosis (as revealed by the higher expression of Bax and caspase 9 and the lower expression of Bcl2) and cell-cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase, which is associated with the higher expression of p53 and p21 and the lower expression of the p53 inhibitor, MDM2. Thus, the anticancer effect of these PHB-thiol polymers may have been due to their ability to inhibit MDM2-p53 interactions.

“…The concentrations of the oxidative stress marker nitric oxide (NO) and the lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined in heart homogenates using locally available, commercial kits (Biodiagnostic, Egypt), as previously described [Abdelhadya et al, 2017;El-Magd et al, 2017]. Caspase 3 activity was determined on heart homogenate using caspase 3 fluorogenic substrate (Ac-DEVD-AMC; Alexis Biochemicals) as described previously .…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential cardioprotective effect of cardamom (CAR) against myocardial injuries induced by doxorubicin (DOX) in rats through investigation of histological alterations and the associated oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. This study included 30 adult male albino rats that were randomized to 3 groups (n = 10/group): group I (control), group II (DOX) rats injected with DOX (2.5 mg/kg body weight [BW] i.p.) every other day for 2 weeks, and group III (CAR+DOX) received CAR extract (200 mg/kg BW) orally for 3 weeks, and 1 week later (starting from the 2nd week) they were injected with DOX (2.5 mg/kg BW i.p.) every other day for 2 weeks. Rats treated with DOX alone exhibited notable myocardial damage (discontinuity and disorganization of cardiac muscle fibers, mononuclear cell infiltration, and apparent increases in collagen fiber deposition) accompanied by loss of function (revealed by elevated serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and cardiac troponin), induction of oxidative stress (indicated by higher levels of nitric oxide and malondialdehyde, and lower levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase), apoptosis (evidenced by high caspase 3 activity and immunostaining), and inflammation (marked by high cardiac NFκB level). However, administration of CAR not only ameliorated all deleterious effects of DOX but also induced angiogenesis, as indicated by a significant increase in VEGF immunoreactivity. These data indicate that CAR could relieve DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, at least in part, via reductions in oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation and increased tissue regeneration via induction of angiogenesis. Therefore, CAR could be a promising cytoprotective agent against DOX cardiotoxicity.

“…The second part was used for nuclear extraction, while the remaining part was homogenized in cold 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 using a Potter‐Elvenhjem tissue homogenizer to give 10% homogenate (w/v). The homogenate was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 30 minutes; the resulting supernatants were used as the soluble cytosolic fraction …”

Alcohol consumption is a major global risk factor for mortality and morbidity. We aimed to delineate the mechanisms underlying the potential ameliorative effects of hesperidin against chronically ethanol‐induced cardiotoxicity. Sixty male albino rats were divided into normal control group, hesperidin‐treated control group, untreated alcoholic group, and hesperidin‐treated alcoholic group. Transcription factor‐EB (TFEB) expression levels were estimated using real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction. Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ coactivator 1‐α (PGC1‐α), macrophage inflammatory protein‐1 α, poly‐(ADP‐ribose)‐polymerase‐1 (PARP‐1) activity, and tenascin C levels in cardiac tissues were estimated by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay; while tissue malondialdehyde and total antioxidant capacity were evaluated spectrophotometrically. Our data portrayed promoting lysosomal biogenesis, as judged by upregulation of TFEB expression and its target PGC1‐α, as well as decreased PARP‐1 activity and offsetting inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue injury as the principal culprits mediating the cardioprotective effect of hesperidin in alcohol‐induced cardiotoxicity. In conclusion, hesperidin can be used as a cardioprotective agent in chronically ethanol‐induced cardiotoxicity.
