    Abstract AGEs augment inflammatory responses by activating inflammatory cascade in monocytes, and hence lead to vascular dysfunction. The current study aims to study a plausible role and mechanism of a new library of indole-tethered 1,2,3-triazoles 2-13 in AGEs-induced inflammation. Initially, the analogs 2-13 were synthesized by cycloaddition reaction between prop-2-yn-1-yl-2-(1H-indol-3-yl) acetate (1) and azidoacetophenone (1a). In vitro glycation, and metabolic assays were employed to investigate antiglycation and cytotoxicity activities of new indole-triazoles. DCFH-DA, immunostaining, Western blotting, and ELISA techniques were used to study the reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pro-inflammatory mediators levels. Among all the synthesized indole-triazoles, compounds 1-3, and 9-13, and their precursor molecule 1 were found to be active against AGEs production in in vitro glucose- and methylglyoxal (MGO)-BSA models. Compounds 1-2, and 11-13 were also found to be nontoxic against HEPG2, and THP-1 cells. Our results show that pretreatment of THP-1 monocytes with selected lead compounds 1-2, and 11-13, particularly compounds 12, and 13, reduced glucose- and MGO-derived AGEs-mediated ROS production (P < 0.001), as compared to standards, PDTC, rutin, and quercetin. They also significantly (P < 0.001) suppressed NF-ĸB translocation in THP-1 monocytes. Moreover, compounds 12, and 13 attenuated the AGEs-induced COX-2 protein levels (P < 0.001), and PGE₂ production (P < 0.001) in THP-1 monocytes. Our data revealed that the indole-triazoles 12, and 13 can significantly attenuate the AGEs-induced proinflammatory COX-2 levels, and associated PGE₂ production by suppressing AGE-ROS-NF-Kβ nexus in THP-1 monocytes. These compounds can thus serve as leads for further evaluation as treatment to delay early onset of diabetic complications.

    Abstract Chronic hyperglycemia favours the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which are responsible of many diabetic vascular complications. Keeping in view the medicinal properties of the1,2,3-triazole-conjugated analogs, the present study was designed to evaluate the possible effect of carbazole-linked 1,2,3-triazoles 2-16 against glucose- and methylglyoxal-AGEs-induced inflammation in human THP-1 monocytes. In vitro antiglycation, and metabolic assays were used to determine antiglycation, and cytotoxicity activities. DCFH-DA, immunostaining, immunoblotting, and ELISA techniques were employed to study the ROS and levels of proinflammatory mediators in THP-1 monocytes. Among all the synthesized carbazole-linked 1,2,3 triazoles, compounds 2, 7, 8, and 11-16 showed antiglycation activity in glucose- and MGO-modified bovine serum albumin models, whereas parent compound 1 only exhibited activity in glucose-BSA model. The metabolic assay demonstrated the non-toxic profile of compounds 1-2, 11-13, and 15 up to 100 μM concentration in both HepG2 and THP-1 cell lines. We found that compounds 11-13, and 15 attenuated AGEs-induced ROS formation (P < 0.001), and halted NF-ĸB translocation (P < 0.001), likewise standard drugs, PDTC, rutin, and quercetin, in THP-1 monocytes. Among the derivatives, compounds 12, and 13 also suppressed the AGEs-induced elevation of COX-2 (P < 0.001) and PGE
