Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel 1,4-Disubstituted Piperazine-2,5-dione Derivatives as Antioxidants against H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-Induced Oxidative Injury via the IL-6/Nrf2 Loop Pathway

Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production leads to oxidative stress in cells, impairing the function of mitochondria and finally inducing cell apoptosis. Considering the essential role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, t...

520 |a Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production leads to oxidative stress in cells, impairing the function of mitochondria and finally inducing cell apoptosis. Considering the essential role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, the discovery of novel antioxidants has attracted increasing attention. Herein, a series of novel 1,4-disubstituted piperazine-2,5-dione derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidative activity. The results of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay indicated that none of the tested compounds showed significant toxicity to SH-SY5Y cells at concentrations up to 80 μM. Cell counting via flow cytometry revealed that most of the tested compounds could effectively protect SH-SY5Y cells from H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced oxidative damage at 20 μM. Among these compounds, compound <b>9r</b> exhibited the best antioxidative activity. Further mechanistic investigation indicated that <b>9r</b> decreased ROS production and stabilized the mitochondrial membrane potential to restrain cell apoptosis, and promoted cell survival via an IL-6/Nrf2 positive-feedback loop. These results suggested the potential of compound <b>9r</b> as a novel antioxidative candidate for the treatment of diseases caused by oxidative stress.
