    Abstract Neurological disorders (NDs) have a negative impact on the lives of individuals. There could be two explanations for this: unclear aetiology and lack of effective therapy. However, research in the past few years has revealed the role of bio-metals dyshomeostasis in NDs. The imbalance in copper (Cu) concentration may be one of the main causative factors in NDs. In this review, we have discussed the role of Cu in NDs, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD), including the molecular mechanisms involved in Cu-associated NDs like oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and protein misfolding. We have also summarized the recent Cu-targeting approaches and highlighted the in vitro and in vivo studies recently being reported on the subject. Based on the earlier published reports, it could be speculated that the Cu targeting strategy might be an interesting and potential therapeutic approach for NDs. Various difficulties must be overcome to develop safe and efficient Cu-targeting medications for NDs.

    Abstract Copper (Cu), being an essential trace metal, plays several roles in biological processes, though exposure to Cu can be potentially toxic to the brain and a few other soft organs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the combined administration of monoisoamyl 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA), which is a new chelator, and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and an antioxidant that is made naturally in the body and is also found in foods, against Cu-induced oxidative stress in rats. Rats were exposed to 20 mg/kg copper sulfate for 16 weeks once a day via the oral route. After 16 weeks of exposure, animals were divided into different sub-groups. Group I was divided into three subgroups: Group IA, control; Group IB, MiADMSA (75 mg/kg, oral); Group IC, ALA (75 mg/kg, oral), while Group II was divided into four subgroups: Group IIA, Cu pre-exposed; Group IIB, Cu+ MiADMSA; Group IIC, Cu+ ALA; Group IID, Cu+ ALA+ MiADMSA. Exposure to Cu led to significant neurobehavioral abnormalities; treatment with MiADMSA, and in particular MiADMSA + ALA, significantly ameliorated the neurobehavioral parameters and restored the memory deficits in rats. Oxidative stress variables (ROS, nitrite, TBARS, SOD, catalase) and inflammatory markers (TNF-α, and IL-1β), which were altered on Cu exposed rats, also responded favorably to ALA+ MiADMSA combined treatment. Thus, combined administration of MiADMSA and ALA might be a better treatment strategy than monotherapy with MiADMSA or ALA against Cu-induced neurotoxicity, particularly in reducing oxidative stress, neurobehavioral abnormalities, and inflammatory markers.

    Abstract Heavy metals are considered a continuous threat to humanity, as they cannot be eradicated. Prolonged exposure to heavy metals/metalloids in humans has been associated with several health risks, including neurodegeneration, vascular dysfunction, metabolic disorders, cancer, etc. Small blood vessels are highly vulnerable to heavy metals as they are directly exposed to the blood circulatory system, which has comparatively higher concentration of heavy metals than other organs. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is an umbrella term used to describe various pathological processes that affect the cerebral small blood vessels and is accepted as a primary contributor in associated disorders, such as dementia, cognitive disabilities, mood disorder, and ischemic, as well as a hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, we discuss the possible implication of heavy metals/metalloid exposure in CSVD and its associated disorders based on in-vitro, preclinical, and clinical evidences. We briefly discuss the CSVD, prevalence, epidemiology, and risk factors for development such as genetic, traditional, and environmental factors. Toxic effects of specific heavy metal/metalloid intoxication (As, Cd, Pb, Hg, and Cu) in the small vessel associated endothelium and vascular dysfunction too have been reviewed. An attempt has been made to highlight the possible molecular mechanism involved in the pathophysiology, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory pathway, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression, and amyloid angiopathy in the CSVD and related disorders. Finally, we discussed the role of cellular antioxidant defense enzymes to neutralize the toxic effect, and also highlighted the potential reversal strategies to combat heavy metal-induced vascular changes. In conclusion, heavy metals in small vessels are strongly associated with the development as well as the progression of CSVD. Chelation therapy may be an effective strategy to reduce the toxic metal load and the associated complications.

    Abstract Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal-recessive disorder associated with the impaired copper metabolism, resulting in hepatic and neurologic manifestations. D-Pencillamine (DPA) is a first-line of treatment however, monoisoamyl 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA), is gaining recognition recently as a future chelating agent of choice. We evaluated the effects of MiADMSA against copper-induced (20 mg/kg, orally, once, daily for 16 weeks) hepatic and immunological changes in the male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Copper overload increased the levels of pro-oxidant and concurrently decreased the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the liver. Increased oxidative stress triggered the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) in the liver and down-regulated the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4. Altered liver function parameters as well as serum immunoglobulins' (IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgM) levels, were also noted. MiADMSA treatment restored most of copper altered biochemical and immunological changes. Further, the histopathological changes proved that MiADMSA treatment ameliorated copper induced hepatic injury. Infra red spectra of liver tissue indicated shift in the characteristic -OH peak during copper exposure while the shifting came to normal in MiADMSA administered rat liver. We conclude that MiADMSA could be a promising antidote for the chronic copper toxicity and possibly in the clinical management of WD.

    Abstract Arsenic, a metalloid, is known to cause deleterious effects in various body organs, particularly the liver, urinary bladder, and brain, and these effects are primarily mediated through oxidative stress. Chelation therapy has been considered one of the promising medical treatments for arsenic poisoning. Meso 2,3- dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been recognized as one of the most effective chelating drugs to treat arsenic poisoning. However, the drug is compromised with a number of shortcomings, including the inability to treat chronic arsenic poisoning due to its extracellular distribution. Monoisoamyl 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, one of the analogues of meso 2,3-dimeraptosuccinic acid (DMSA), is a lipophilic chelator and has shown promise to be considered as a potential future chelating agent/antidote not only for arsenic but also for a few other heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and gallium arsenide. The results from numerous studies carried out in the recent past, mainly from our group, strongly support the clinical application of MiADMSA. This review paper summarizes most of the scientific details including the chemistry, pharmacology, and safety profile of MiADMSA. The efficacy of MiADMSA mainly against arsenic toxicity but also a few other heavy metals was also discussed. We also reviewed a few other strategies in order to achieve the optimum effects of MiADMSA, like combination therapy using two chelating agents or coadministration of a natural and synthetic antioxidant (including phytomedicine) along with MiADMSA for treatment of metal/metalloid poisoning. We also briefly discussed the use of nanotechnology (nano form of MiADMSA i.e. nano-MiADMSA) and compared it with bulk MiADMSA. All these strategies have been shown to be beneficial in getting more pronounced therapeutic efficacy of MiADMSA, as an adjuvant or as a complementary agent, by significantly increasing the chelating efficacy of MiADMSA.

    Abstract Copper (Cu) is an important trace element required for several biological processes. The use of copper is increasing gradually in several applications. Previous studies suggest that excess levels of copper are attributed to induce oxidative stress and inflammation, mediating tissue damage. Inline, melatonin the hormone of darkness has been reported to exhibit various therapeutic effects including strong free radical scavenging properties and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its effects against pulmonary injury promoted by copper are not explored and remain unclear so far. Therefore, the present study was aimed to investigate the protective effect of melatonin against copper-induced lung damage. Female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 250 ppm of copper in drinking water for 16 weeks and treated with melatonin (i.p.) 5 and 10 mg/kg from the week (13–16th). The extent of tissue damage was assessed by tissue oxidative stress parameters, metal estimation and histological analysis. Copper-challenged rats showed altered oxidative stress variables. In addition, metal analysis revealed increased copper accumulation in the lungs and histological staining results further indicated severe tissue injury and inflammatory cell infiltration in copper-exposed rats. To this side, treatment with melatonin showed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities evidenced by reduced oxidative stress, tissue inflammation and collagen deposition as compared to copper-exposed animals. Moreover, spectral findings suggested melatonin treatment modulated the frequency sift, as compared to copper-challenged animals. Altogether, the present results suggest that melatonin might play a potential role in preventing copper-induced lung aberrations via inhibiting the ROS-mediated oxidative stress and inflammation.

    Abstract Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a widely used anticancer and immunosuppressant drug. Nevertheless, clinical utilization of CP is limited due to considerable adverse effects and toxicities. Nicotinamide (NMD) is a micronutrient and the effect of NMD against CP-induced hepatotoxicity is yet unexplored. The present study was designed to evaluate the chemoprotective effect of NMD against CP-induced hepatic injury in Sprague-Dawley rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced by the administration of CP (30 mg/kg/day) for 10 consecutive days by intraperitoneal injection. The chemoprotective effect of NMD treatment (200 mg/kg) against CP-induced hepatotoxicity was evaluated by the oxidative stress, liver function, histopathological changes, and DNA damage. NMD cotreatment significantly reduced CP-induced oxidative stress, histological changes, and apoptosis in the liver. The present study demonstrated that NMD treatment ameliorated CP-induced hepatic damage by improving the antioxidant system and reducing DNA damage. The present findings revealed that NMD supplementation might be useful to reduce CP-associated hepatotoxicity, and thereby can increase the therapeutic utility of CP.

    Abstract Aim: To synthesize and evaluate the fused heterocyclic imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine based oxime as a reactivator against paraoxon inhibited acetylcholinesterase.
    Background: Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) include parathion, malathion, chlorpyrifos, monocrotophos, and diazinon, which are commonly used in agriculture for enhancing agricultural productivity via killing crop-damaging pests. However, people may get exposed to OPs pesticides unintentionally/intentionally via ingestion, inhalation, or dermal. The current treatment regimen includes reactivator such as mono or bis-pyridinium oximes along with anticholinergic and anticonvulsant drugs that are recommended for the treatment of OP poisoning. Unfortunately, the drawback of the existing reactivator is the permanent charge present on the pyridinium, making them inefficient to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and reactivate OP-inhibited central nervous system (CNS) acetylcholinesterase. Therefore, there is a need of a reactivator that could cross the BBB and reactivate the OP inhibited acetylcholinesterase.
    Objective: The objectives of the study were synthesis, molecular docking, BSA binding, and in-vitro estimation of oximes of various substituted imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine against paraoxon inhibited acetylcholinesterase.
    Methods: The reactivators were synthesized in three steps and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The molecular docking study was performed on 2WHP and 3ZLV PDB using the Glide-XP software. The acid dissociation constant (pKa) of oximes was calculated experimentally, and the drug-likeness properties of the oximes were calculated in silico using Molinspiration and Swiss ADME software. The binding of oximes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also investigated using a Fluorescence spectrophotometer. The reactivation potential of the oximes was determined by in vitro enzymatic assay.
    Results: The In-silico study inferred that the synthesized molecules fulfilled the parameters required for a successful CNS drug candidate. Furthermore, in-vitro enzymatic assay indicated reasonable reactivation potential of the oximes against paraoxon-inhibited AChE. The binding of oximes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) revealed that there was a static quenching of intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by the oxime. The binding constant value and number of binding sites were found to be 0.24 x 10
    Conclusion: The results of the study concluded that this scaffold could be used for further designing of more efficient uncharged reactivators.
