RESUMEN
Methylglyoxal is a dicarbonyl compound recruited as a potential cytotoxic marker, initially presents in cells and considered as a metabolite of the glycolytic pathway. Our aim is to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of 3, 3'-[3-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-oxopropane-1, 1-diyl] Bis (4-hydroxycoumarin) on the glyoxalase system, and indirectly its anticancer activity. The docking of OT-55 was conducted by using Flexible docking protocol, ChiFlex and libdock tools inside the active site of Glo-I indicated that both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions contributed significantly in establishing potent binding with the active site which is selected as a strong inhibitor with high scoring values and maximum Gibbs free energy. Coumarin-liposome formulation was characterized and evaluated in vivo against chemically induced hepatocarcinoma in Wistar rats. After Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induction, microscopic assessment was realized; precancerous lesions were developed showing an increase of both tumor-associated lymphocyte and multiple tumor acini supported by the blood investigation. Our finding also suggested a preferential uptake of liposomes respectively in liver, kidney, lung, brain and spleen in the DEN-treated animals. OT-55 has also been shown to inhibit the activity of Glo-I in vitro as well as in DEN-treated rats. An abnormal high level of MGO of up to 50% was recorded followed by a reduction in glucose consumption and lactate dehydrogenase production validated in the positive control. MGO generates apoptosis as depicted by focal hepatic lesions. Also, no deleterious effects in the control group were observed after testing our coumarin but rather a vascular reorganization leading to nodular regenerative hyperplasia. Involved in the detoxification process, liver GSH is restored in intoxicated rats, while no changes are seen between controls. At the endothelial cell, OT-55 appears to modulate the release of NO only in the DEN-treated group. OT-55 would behave both as an anticancer agent but also as an angiogenic factor regarding results obtained.

Two analytical methods; high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography were used to determine the content of 2-methylquinoxaline, a methylglyoxal-derived agent in sera from cattle with fascioliasis. Methylglyoxal is a highly mutagenic and cytotoxic reactive dicarbonyl compound formed by non-enzymatic fragmentation of triose phosphate GAP and DHAP during glycolysis which regularly contributes to repositioning the energetic balance between physiological and pathological situations. The aim of this study was to propose the MGO as a new biomarker in the bovine fasciolosis. Strongly infected animals showed a correlation between the relatively high levels of Fasciola hepatica anti-f2 antibody and methylglyoxal compared to unharmed animals. Also, an acute hyperglycemia was recorded and closely related to hepatic parenchyma hyperplasia, inflammation, bile ducts obstruction and scléro-fibrous foci formation.Unlike HPLC, which has shown analytical flaws and irregularities, GC-MS remains an excellent diagnostic tool for detecting and quantifying methylglyoxal in biological fluids. The developed method has been validated under FDA guidelines. A full scan-range was set from m/z 39 to 144/999 and the molecular weight of the 2-methylquinoxaline was identified according to NIST Database and ES. Methylglyoxal was the only analyte successfully quantified in a relatively short run time. It was linear over a concentration range of 0.057-5.7â¯â¯µg.ml-1with mean recoveries and RSD of 118% and 3.63% respectively. The intra and inter-day assays were satisfying and not exceed 3.00%. Results reflect the degree of precision of our method and indicate that MGO was an important contributor to understand the hepatic failure independently of other serum markers.
