ABSTRACT:

Hypertension affects a significant fraction of the global population and is widespread global health concern. Medical professionals frequently prescribe Calcium channel blockers as primary treatment for hypertension, due to its demonstrated efficacy and 1,4-dihydropyridine and it’s derivatives which are currently in use. The objective is to study antihypertensive effect of various analogues of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives with in-silico method of evaluation, synthesis and characterization. Ten derivatives were designed and docked on L-type calcium channel protein (PDB ID- 3LV3) using Autodock 1.5.7 and Biovia Discovery studio visualizer. The 5 derivatives of best binding energy were synthesized using Hantzsch method followed by characterization using IR, 1H NMR and MASS and assessments of antihypertensive activity pharmacologically by tail-cuff method using Nifedipine as standard drug. 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (DHP-01 to DHP-05) were synthesized and characterized. Nevertheless, a significant difference in lowering blood pressure was observed after comparing with standard nifedipine. The synthesized derivative DHP-02 was found to be effective as antihypertensive agent. Newly synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives can be further studied for antihypertensive activity.

INTRODUCTION: 

Hypertension, characterized by elevated blood pressure levels1, affects a significant fraction of the global population and is a persistent and widespread global health concern. It poses a significant risk for strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems, and it affects the morbidity and death rates worldwide2,3.

 

Dihydropyridine derivatives (DHPs) offer a variety of therapeutic effects and minimal toxicity, making them intriguing for the investigation of biological activity4.

 

1,4-Dihydropyridine(1,4-DHP) and its compounds are considered to be among the most valuable molecular frameworks in synthetic, organic, and medicinal chemistry. They are members of a potential family of nitrogen heterocycles5. The dihydropyridine's second and sixth alkyl groups are responsible for the activity's duration.  Dihydropyridine's ester groups at positions three and five are essential for the migration of Calcium channel antagonists. The pharmacological action of the dihydropyridine is increased by substitution of an aromatic ring at position four4. The first 1,4-dihydropyridine synthesis was reported by Hantzsch, and it is currently considered to be one of the useful methods to synthesize 1,4-dihydropyridines efficiently in organic chemistry6.

 

Numerous pharmaceutical products with a 1,4-dihydropyridine moiety have been identified as L-type calcium channel blockers7. It is well known that calcium channel blockers cause vascular smooth muscle dilation by preventing calcium entrance8. According to studies, 1,4-DHP derivatives have a variety of uses in the management of cardiovascular illness, including effects as vasodilators9, cardiac depressants10 and antihypertensive11. Additionally, they show significant antioxidant12, analgesic13, anticonvulsant14, anti-inflammatory15, and antimicrobial16 properties. These medications include felodipine, clevidipine, amlodipine, nifedipine, nilvadipine and pranidipine17,18. The most effective class of antagonists consists of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, the most common of which is nifedipine in modern medicine11. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists nifedipine as one of the most effective and safe medications that are important. It is an L-type Calcium channel blocker that inhibits Ca2+ influx and is suitable for all types of hypertension19.

 

Owing to its diverse range of pharmacological characteristics, a considerable amount of research has been done in recent years on the synthesis of these kind of compounds, making it a current and very relevant area of study. This paper outlines the synthesis of designed 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives and their impact on lowering blood pressure when measured in rats using the tail cuff technique.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Materials: 

The chemicals for the synthesis were acquired from Sigma Aldrich and Merck with high grade quality and used without purification. Thin layer chromatography was carried out to monitor the progress of the reaction on precoated silica gel plates (604GF254) and  Ethyl acetate: n-Hexane (2:3) was used as solvent system. The products were characterized by IR spectral analysis using KBr pellet method, 1H NMR using Bruker spectrospin-200 NMR spectrophotometer and CHCl3 was the solvent used. Mass spectra was recorded on MAKE-WATERS SYNPT G2 QTOF.

 

Molecular Docking Studies:

Molecular docking for designed ten 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives and the protein was performed using AutoDockTools 1.5.7 in order to determine the binding energies of the interaction between the 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives and the protein (PDB ID: 3LV3). The Biovia Discovery Studio Visualizer was employed to visualize the protein-ligand complex. The protein data was sourced from the RCSB Protein Data Bank and processed with PyMOL20. Ligands were drawn using ChemSketch21. The possible interaction of ligand with the selected protein and the results obtained were analysed and summarized in table 1.

 

Prediction of ADME properties:                                                               

1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives was evaluated for ADME properties using Swiss ADME22. The corresponding outcomes are summarized in table 2.

 

Conventional approach for synthesizing 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) derivatives:

The mixture of aryl aldehyde, methyl-acetoacetate (11.3ml), ethyl-4-chloro aceto acetate (14.6ml) and ammonium hydroxide (1.8ml) is refluxed together in ethanol for about 16-18 hours23. Different aryl aldehydes were used to synthesize 1,4- dihydropyridine derivatives (DHP-01: Salicyaldehyde(10.47ml), DHP-02: 3-Bromobenzaldehyde(18.5ml), DHP-03: Anisaldehyde (13.6ml), DHP-04: 4- Methyl benzaldehyde (12ml), DHP-05: 4- Chlorobenzaldehyde (14ml)). The obtained solid was filtered, washed with 1N HCl, 10% NaHCO3 and 5% NaOH24 and recrystallized using ethyl alcohol. TLC was used to monitor the reaction.

 

Pharmacological Evaluation:

All animals were procured from the CPCSCA-approved animal house of the Department of Pharmacology, Krupanidhi College of Pharmacy, Bengaluru (Reg. No: 378/01/ab/CPCSEA). Institutional Animal Ethics Committee Approval No. KCP/IAEC/ PCOL/59/2020 for experimental protocols.

 

Anti-hypertensive Activity:

A total of 48 Male albino Wistar rats, eight groups with six rats in each group were divided. Normal group rats were given distilled water as vehicle. Hypertension was induced (positive control) by oral administering the Wistar rats with  N (ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (80mg/kg body weight) dissolved in distillated water. To achieve the objective of the study the animals whose elevated systolic blood pressure was determined to be hypertensive (≥ 150mmHg) were employed. The standard group received L-NAME (80mg/kg/day) and Nifedipine (50mg/kg/day). Test groups were given a combination of L-NAME (80mg/kg/day) and one of the newly synthesized compounds (DHP-01 to DHP-05). The blood pressure was measured at Day 0, Day 14 and Day 28 using non invasive tail cuff method.

 

Tail cuff method:

In physiological research, the tail cuff method is a non-invasive way to take blood pressure readings in experimental animals, like rats and mice. In order to prevent variations in blood pressure, the ambient temperature in the experimental room is maintained. An inflatable cuff is placed around the animal's tail base. To measure blood flow and pressure variations in the tail artery, a pressure transducer is connected to the cuff. The baseline measurement was taken by inflating the cuff to a specified pressure, generally above the systolic level, which temporarily stops blood flow in the tail artery. The cuff was then slowly deflated, with pressure monitored until blood flow resumes, signaling the systolic pressure. This process was repeated to maintain consistency25.

 

Statistical analysis:

GraphPad Prism version 5.01 was used to evaluate the experimental outcomes, and the data was represented as Mean±SEM. Dunnett's multiple comparison test was applied following one-way ANOVA to identify significant differences (P<0.05) between the groups.

Docking studies:

The molecular docking was carried out for 10 designed derivatives of 1,4- dihydropyridine using the protein PDB ID:3LV3. Crystal structure of HLA-B*2705 in conjunction with a peptide that originates from the alpha1 subunit of the human voltage-dependent calcium channel was used for the study. The designed analogues (DHP 01-10) had docking score ranging from -5.27 to -7.26(Kcal/mol). Among the library of designed compounds, DHP-02 with the bromo group as the substituent at 2nd position showed the highest docking score of -7.26Kcal/mol. Hantzsch synthesis was used to synthesize the best five 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives based on the molecular docking results. ADMET properties of the synthesized compounds satisfied all the parameters of Lipinski’s rule of five. The compound’s antihypertensive activity was then evaluated after they were characterized using IR, 1HNMR, and MASS.
