Abstract:
Prodrugs based on pyridoxine and ketorolac (the most potent analgesic NSAIDs) exhibit analgesic activity comparable to ketorolac in vivo and significantly higher safety and prolonged action. In this study the antioxidant and protective properties, inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase (COX) and intracellular permeability for two prodrug bipharmacophoric conjugates based on pyridoxine and ketorolac have been investigated in vitro. Their inhibitory activity towards the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes was comparable to that of ketorolac (the IC50 values ranged from 12.0 μM to 34.7 μM). These compounds markedly protected albumin against thermal and chemical (urea and citric acid) treatments and demonstrated the cell-penetrating ability through passive diffusion.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
