dc.description.abstractThe development of H2S-donating derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is considered important to reduce or overcome their gastrointestinal side effects. Sulforaphane, one of the most extensively studied isothiocyanates (ITCs), effectively releases H2S at a slow rate. Thus, we rationally designed, synthesized, and characterized new ITC derivatives (I1-3 and I1a-e) inspired by the natural compound sulforaphane. The anti-inflammatory properties of these compounds were evaluated by their inhibitory activities against cyclooxygenase targets COX-1 and COX-2. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the compounds was tested using the MTT assay on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, revealing no cytotoxic effects at low doses. Notably, compounds I1 and fluorine-containing ester derivative I1c emerged as the most potent and selective COX-2 inhibitors, with selectivity indexes of 2611.5 and 2582.4, respectively. The H2S-releasing capacities of ITC derivatives were investigated and compared with that of sulforaphane, showing that while compounds I1-3 exhibit slow and similar H2S release to sulforaphane, the release from compounds I1a-e was not as pronounced as that of the standard. Physics-based molecular modeling studies including molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, binding free energy calculations and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) analyses were also conducted. MD simulations analysis underscored the crucial amino acids such as Tyr385, Trp387, Phe518, Val523, and Ser530 in the interactions between I1c hit compound and COX-2. The combined in silico and in vitro findings suggest that compounds I1 and I1c are promising NSAID candidates against selective COX-2 inhibition.
