Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Medicinal Evaluation and Molecular Docking Study of Osajin as an Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Antiapoptotic Agent Against Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in Rats(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Alhilal, Mohammad; Erol, Huseyin Serkan; Yildirim, Serkan; Cakir, Ahmet; Koc, Murat; Alhilal, Suzan; Halici, Mesut BunyamiDespite efforts to find effective drugs for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), mortality rates in patients with SA-AKI have not decreased. Our study evaluated the protective effects of isoflavone osajin (OSJ) on SA-AKI in rats by targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, which represent the cornerstones in the pathophysiological mechanism of SA-AKI. Polymicrobial sepsis was induced in rats via the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) technique. Markers of oxidative stress were evaluated in kidney tissues using biochemical methods. The expression of interleukin-33 (IL-33), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), caspase-3, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) was evaluated as indicators of inflammation, DNA damage, apoptosis, and SA-AKI respectively in the kidney tissues using immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent detection methods. The CLP technique significantly (p < 0.001) increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and significantly (p < 0.001) decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in kidney tissues. In the renal tissues, strong expression of IL-33, 8-OHdG, caspase-3, and KIM-1 was observed with severe degeneration and necrosis in the tubular epithelium and intense interstitial nephritis. In contrast, the administration of OSJ significantly (p < 0.001) reduced the level of LPO, markedly improved biomarkers of antioxidant status, decreased the levels of serum creatinine and urea, lowered the expression of IL-33, 8-OHdG, caspase-3, and KIM-1 and alleviated changes in renal histopathology. A promising binding score was found via a molecular docking investigation of the OSJ-binding mode with mouse IL-33 (PDB Code: 5VI4). Therefore, OSJ protects against SA-AKI by suppressing the IL-33/LPO/8-OHdG/caspase-3 pathway and improving the antioxidant system.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 9Osajin from Maclura pomifera alleviates sepsis-induced liver injury in rats: biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical estimation(Taylor & Francis Online, 2023) Alhilal, Mohammad; Huseyin Serkan Erol, Serkan Yildirim, Ahmet Cakir, Murat Koc, Demet Celebi, Mesut Bunyami HaliciThis paper aimed to examine the impact of flavonoid osajin (OSJ) on liver damage induced by sepsis. A total of 30 male rats were divided into 5 groups (Sham, sepsis, OSJ 150, OSJ 300 and reference). During sepsis, elevated lipid peroxidation (LPO) level and catalase activity (CAT) and decreased glutathione (GSH) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were observed in hepatic tissues of sepsis group in comparison with Sham group. A strong interleukin-33 and caspase-3 expressions were detected in hepatic tissues of sepsis group. On the contrary, OSJ administration to OSJ 300 group showed a significant decrease (P < 0.001) in LPO level (176±2.926) and significant increase (P < 0.001) in GSH level (10.586±0.083) and SOD activity (29.152±0.094) in comparison with sepsis group (185.777±1.735, 8.246±0.124, 24.307±0.379 respectively). In addition, the consumption of OSJ reduced expressions of interleukin-33 and caspase-3 and improved histopathological integrity. In conclusions, OSJ has hepatoprotective effect against sepsis-induced liver injury.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 22Effects of tocilizumab and dexamethasone on the downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulation of antioxidants in the lungs in oleic acid-induced ARDS(BMC, 2022) Terzi, Funda; Demirci, Beste; Çınar, İrfan; Alhilal, Mohammad; Erol, Huseyin SerkanAbstract Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening disease caused by the induction of infammatory cytokines and chemokines in the lungs. There is a dearth of drug applications that can be used to prevent cytokine storms in ARDS treatment. This study was designed to investigate the efects of tocilizumab and dexamethasone on oxidative stress, antioxidant parameters, and cytokine storms in acute lung injury caused by oleic acid in rats. Methods: Adult male rats were divided into fve groups: the CN (healthy rats, n=6), OA (oleic acid administration, n=6), OA+TCZ-2 (oleic acid and tocilizumab at 2 mg/kg, n=6), OA+TCZ-4 (oleic acid and tocilizumab at 4 mg/kg, n=6), and OA+DEX-10 (oleic acid and dexamethasone at 10 mg/kg, n=6) groups. All animals were euthanized after treatment for histopathological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, PCR, and SEM analyses. Results: Expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 cytokines in rats with acute lung injury induced by oleic acid were downregulated in the TCZ and DEX groups compared to the OA group (P<0.05). The MDA level in lung tissues was statistically lower in the OA+TCZ-4 group compared to the OA group. It was further determined that SOD, GSH, and CAT levels were decreased in the OA group and increased in the TCZ and DEX groups (P<0.05). Histopathological fndings such as thickening of the alveoli, hyperemia, and peribronchial cell infltration were found to be similar when lung tissues of the TCZ and DEX groups were compared to the control group. With SEM imaging of the lung tissues, it was found that the alveolar lining layer had become indistinct in the OA, OA+TCZ-2, and OA+TCZ-4 groups. Conclusions: In this model of acute lung injury caused by oleic acid, tocilizumab and dexamethasone were efective in preventing cytokine storms by downregulating the expression of proinfammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. Against the downregulation of antioxidant parameters such as SOD and GSH in the lung tissues caused by oleic acid, tocilizumab and dexamethasone upregulated them and showed protective efects against cell damage.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2ERUCA SATIVA MILL SEEDS OIL ALLEVIATES HYPERLIPIDEMIA AND NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE IN SYRIAN HAMSTER(Journal of Animal & Plant Sciences, 2022) Alhilal, M.; Sulaiman, Y.A.M.; Subuh, A.M.; Habra, N.; Alhilal, S.The impact of oils rich in long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LCMUFA) against hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been inadequately described. In addition, the chemical solvents and the high temperature used in vegetable oils extraction process from seeds cause severe loss of many vital compounds. So the goal of this paper was to examine the effect of cold pressed Eruca sativa Mill seeds oil (ESSO), as a source of LCMUFA, on hyperlipidemia and NAFLD in Syrian hamster. The ESSO content of fatty acids was analyzed using chromatographic methods. Fifty two (52) healthy male golden Syrian hamsters used in this experiment were randomly divided into 4 groups (Completely Randomized Design). Negative control group, CHD group, positive control group and ESSO group. This experiment was achieved in two periods. The first period continued 4 weeks, in which hyperlipidemia and NAFLD were induced in CHD, positive control and ESSO groups through feeding on a hyperlipidemic diet. The second period also lasted 4 weeks, in which ESSO was orally gavaged at 2 g/kg of the body weight daily to animals of ESSO group. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, HDL-C and glucose and the activities of ALT, AST, ALP, LDH and CK were analysed in the serum. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's multiple range test was used for statistical analysis. The consumption of hyperlipidemic diet for 4 weeks caused a significant raise (P<0.05) of triglycerides, glucose, ALT, AST, LDH, CK and a significant reduction (P<0.05) of the HDL-C/TC ratio, at the same time created lipid accumulation in liver cells in CHD, positive control and ESSO groups in comparison with negative control group at the end of the first period. These negative influences were alleviated in ESSO group by administration of ESSO at the end of second period. In conclusion, The examined cold pressed ESSO has effective hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects in Syrian hamsters with hyperlipidemia and NAFLD.Article Estradiol and Ascorbic Acid Alleviate Malathion-Induced Lung Damage in Albino Wistar Rats: a Histopathological Study(2024) Alhılal, Mohammad; Salem, Mahmoud Elsayed MohamedAim: To assess the modulatory role of estradiol and ascorbic acid in malathion-induced pulmonary toxicity in albino Wistar rats. Methods: A total of twenty albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups; the control group (group 1) was given corn oil alone, the test group (group 2) received a daily dose of malathion 20 mg/kg in corn oil, treatment group A (group 3) was administered a daily dose of malathion 20 mg/kg in corn oil plus estradiol 40 μg/100 g (gram), and treatment group B (group 4) received a daily dose of malathion 20 mg/kg in corn oil plus ascorbic acid 100 mg/kg. Experimental rats were administered once daily for four weeks. The lungs were examined histopathologically using two staining methods (Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson Trichrome). Results: There were significant reductions in degeneration, interstitial pneumonia and interstitial fibrosis for group 3 (treatment group A) compared to group 2 (test group) (p<0.05). These reductions were more statistically significant for group 4 (treatment group B) compared to group 2 (test group) (p<0.01). Therefore, the damage was less pronounced and injury severity was moderate in group 3 treated with estradiol. Group 4, with ascorbic acid, showed the most improvement with significant tissue repair under microscopic examination and mild injury compared to group 3. Conclusions: The results of our present study suggest that both estradiol and ascorbic acid have clear protective effects against malathion-induced lung injury. However, ascorbic acid exhibited more pronounced protective effects compared to estradiol. With more comprehensive studies, the positive effects of ascorbic acid and estradiol can be used to prevent lung damage in individuals exposed to malathion.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel Aza-Acyclic Nucleosides as Putative Antimicrobial, Anticancer, and Antioxidant Agents(BioMed Central Ltd, 2025) Alhilal, M.; Alhilal, S.; Gomha, S.M.; Farag, B.; Sabancilar, I.; Ouf, S.A.This study aimed to synthesize new aza-acyclic nucleosides (aza-acyclovir) and evaluate the efficacy of these synthetic compounds as potential antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant agents. We prepared two novel aza-acyclic nucleosides via two reactions. The first reaction involved trichloroisocyanuric acid and dibenzosulphonyl diethylamine, and the second reaction involved trichloroisocyanuric acid and diethanolamine. We then used one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry to determine the structures of the resulting compounds. In this regard, we first tested the antimicrobial activity of these compounds against various bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and against fungal pathogens, including Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida tropicalis, and Alternaria solani. Next, the precise mode for the interaction between synthesized aza-acyclic nucleosides and the target protein 8HQ5 was elucidate using molecular docking analysis. Subsequently, we tested the synthesized compounds for putative anticancer activity at different concentrations (i.e., 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 µg/mL) against A549 cell (Human epithelial lung carcinoma) and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) lines. In addition, compounds antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-based and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity-based methods at different concentrations (i.e., 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 µg/mL). Results revealed that both aza-acyclic nucleosides inhibited both bacterial and fungal strains, although toxicity toward bacterial strains was generally greater than toward fungal strains. We also observed that the molecular docking results were consistent with the results of in vitro antimicrobial assessments. Further, both aza-cyclic nucleosides exhibited cytotoxic effects against both the A549 cell and HUVEC lines. Despite exhibiting lower radical scavenging activity than ascorbic acid (an antioxidant compound used as a standard), Compound 1 from the novel synthetic aza-acyclic nucleosides showed a higher reduction capacity, which was dose-dependent. Overall, we report newly synthesized compounds that show promising antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant effects. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Synthesis of Novel Acyclic Nucleoside Analogue Starting From 6-Aminouracil as Potent Antimicrobial Agent(Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, 2021) Alhilal, Mohammad; Sulaiman, Yaser A.

Methods: In this experimental study, diabetic nephropathy was induced in rats by injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The ability of morin hydrate to inhibit diabetic nephropathy was tested by screening lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase as parameters of oxidative stress; 8-OHdG as a marker of DNA damage and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and aquaporin as indicators of kidney injury in renal tissues; and serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen as markers of renal function using biochemical, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescence methods. Results: Significant increases (p<0.0001) in LPO, 8-OHdG, KIM-1, and aquaporin levels and significant decreases (p<0.0001) in glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase levels were observed after STZ administration, indicating the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Treatment with morin hydrate, especially in combination with metformin, suppressed the oxidant levels and improved the antioxidant system and the histopathological integrity of the kidney, which was positively reflected in the levels of KIM-1, aquaporin, and kidney function parameters. Conclusion: Morin hydrate prevents diabetic nephropathy resulting from diabetes mellitus by suppressing oxidative stress and 8-OHdG levels in kidney tissues. Therefore, this bioflavonoid represents a promising candidate for patients with diabetic nephropathy. Moreover, the combination therapy of morin hydrate and metformin achieved better effectiveness than the single treatment, which emphasizes an important synergistic role of morin hydrate and metformin in managing patients with diabetic nephropathy.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Thiazole Derivatives Using Recyclable Cross-Linked Chitosan Hydrogel Biocatalyst Under Ultrasonic Irradiation as Anti-Hepatocarcinogenic Agents(Mdpi, 2024) Gomha, Sobhi M.; Abd El-Ghany, Nahed A.; Ebaid, Manal S.; Abolibda, Tariq Z.; E. A. Zaki, Magdi; Alhilal, Mohammad; Mohamed, Nadia A.In the current study, pyromellitimide benzoyl thiourea cross-linked chitosan (PIBTU-CS) hydrogel, was evaluated as a green biocatalyst for the efficient synthesis of novel thiazole derivatives. The PIBTU-CS hydrogel showcased key advantages, such as an expanded surface area and superior thermal stability, establishing it as a potent eco-friendly catalyst. By employing PIBTU-CS alongside ultrasonic irradiation, we successfully synthesized a series of novel thiazoles through the reaction of 2-(4-((2-carbamothioylhydrazineylidene)methyl)phenoxy)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acetamide with a variety of hydrazonoyl halides (6a-f) and alpha-haloketones (8a-c or 10a,b). A comparative analysis with TEA revealed that PIBTU-CS hydrogel consistently delivered significantly higher yields. This synthetic strategy provided several benefits, including mild reaction conditions, reduced reaction times, and consistently high yields. The robustness of PIBTU-CS was further underscored by its ability to be reused multiple times without a substantial reduction in catalytic efficiency. The structures of the synthesized thiazole derivatives were meticulously characterized using a range of analytical techniques, including IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectrometry (MS), confirming their successful formation. These results underscore the potential of PIBTU-CS hydrogel as a sustainable and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Additionally, all synthesized products were tested for their anticancer activity against HepG2-1 cells, with several new compounds exhibiting good anticancer effects.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Biological Evaluation of a Novel Acyclic Heterocyclic Compound: Anticancer, Antioxidant, Antifungal, and Molecular Docking Studies(MDPI, 2025) Alhilal, Mohammad; Alhilal, Suzan; Sabancilar, Ilhan; Gomha, Sobhi M.; Elhenawy, Ahmed A.; Ouf, Salama A.Background/Objectives: This study aimed to synthesize a novel, high-molecular-weight acyclic heterocyclic compound, compound 5, via a one-pot reaction between Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and ethanolamine, and evaluate its anticancer, antioxidant, and antifungal activities. Methods: Its complex tetrameric structure, assembled through N-N linkages, was unequivocally confirmed by a full suite of spectroscopic techniques including IR, 1H & 13C NMR, 2D-NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC/Q-TOF/MS). The MTT assay was used to assess the anticancer activity of compound 5 against four different human cancer cell lines. Results: The findings indicate that human colon (HT29) and ovarian (OVCAR3) cancer cells were sensitive to the treatment, whereas brain (glioblastoma) (T98G) cancer cells were resistant. The most pronounced cytotoxic effect was observed in pancreatic (MiaPaCa2) cancer cells. Notably, compound 5 exhibited potent antifungal properties, achieving 100% inhibition of the pathogenic water mould Saprolegnia parasitica zoospores at 100 mu M after 10 min. Molecular docking studies corroborated the biological data, revealing a high binding affinity for key cancer and fungal targets (Thymidylate Synthase and CYP51), providing a strong mechanistic basis for its observed activities. Conclusions: These findings establish compound 5 as a promising dual-action agent with significant potential as both a targeted anticancer lead and an eco-friendly antifungal for applications in aquaculture.
