Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary hemolytic anemia caused by the inheritance of one S hemoglobin gene from each ancestor. Patients with SCD present increased circulating levels of cytokines, including TNF-alpha (TNF-α). Hydroxyurea (HU) is the available therapeutically strategy for treatment; it acts as a source of nitric oxide and benefits patients by increasing the levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Thus, within one research line that aims at finding new drugs, a series of compounds with TNF-α inhibition and nitric oxide donation properties have been synthesized in order to explore possible synergism of actions beneficial in the treatment of the disease. Six compounds were synthesized: five derivatives of organic nitrates and one of sulfonamide. The compounds, (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2Hisoindol-2-yl) methyl nitrate (compound I); (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) ethyl nitrate (compound II); 3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) benzyl nitrate (compound III);4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-N-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide (compound IV); 4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) benzyl nitrate (compound V) and 2-[4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) phenyl]ethyl nitrate (compound VI), were synthesized using linear synthetic methodology, with excellent overall yields. All compounds showed anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects with a reduction in 43%-65% of ear edema in mice and a reduction of 25%-42% of writhing induced by acetic acid. All compounds showed comparable reductions in the leukocyte infiltration capacity and ability to generate nitric oxide. The aryl compounds (III, IV and V) presented less mutagenic activity compared to compounds I, II and VI according to the salmonella mutagenicity assay (Ames test). Compounds IV and VI showed activity in K562 culture cells, with increases in gamma globin gene expression to levels higher than with hydroxyurea suggesting a potential to increase fetal hemoglobin. This data set characterizes new potentially useful drug candidates for the treatment of symptoms of sickle cell anemia.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of simulated chewing in the laboratory on the survival of seeds of four tropical forage legumes (butterfly pea, Clitorea ternatea; estilosantes, Stylosanthes capitata/S. macrocephala 'Campo Grande; archer, Macrotyloma axillare and perennial soybean, Neonotonia wightii) submitted to different periods of acid enzymatic digestion in vitro. Three trials were conducted to observe the percentage of destroyed seeds by the mastication; to compare the germination of the seeds (intact seeds, simulated mastication, scarification with sandpaper, mastication and scarification with sandpaper). And, finally the seeds were incubated at 39oC with hydrochloric acid and pepsin for: 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. The percentages of not destroyed seeds in mastication (archer, 91,5; perennial soybean, 88.0; butterfly pea, 82.1, and estilo, 81.1), associated with the beneficial effects of scarification on germination (64.7, 60.0, 92.0 e 87.3%, respectively) and the effects of time of acid-enzymatic digestion (75% higher if they stay 24 hours in HCl + pepsin) associated to the hard and not permeable coats of legume seeds, allow a high potential for resistance, and to pass intact through the digestive tract of cattle, being able to germinate when defecated in the pastures. However, estilo should not be included in the feeding of cattle for this purpose, because it do not resists the acid-enzyme digestion.
