Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024; 357:e2300326. [PMID: 37933686 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202300326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
The primary strategy in the fight against cancer is to screen compounds that may be effective on different types of cancer. Compounds from plants seem to be a good source. The present study investigated the inhibitory effects of some flavonoids on the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD) enzyme. We determined that quercetin, myricetin, fisetin, morin, apigenin, and baicalein exhibited powerful inhibition effects with IC50 values between 4.08 and 21.26 µM, while luteolin, kaempferol, apiin, galangin, and baicalin showed moderate effects with IC50 values between 54.15 and 138.91 µM. Quercetin competitively inhibited the binding of NADP and 6-phosphogluconate to the 6-PGD enzyme with Ki values of 0.527 ± 0.251 and 0.374 ± 0.138 µM, respectively. We calculated Ki values using the Cheng-Prusoff equation as between 0.44 and 14.88 µM. The possible interaction details of polyphenols with the active site of 6-PGD were analyzed with docking software. In silico and in vitro studies indicated that the -OH groups on the A and C ring of flavonoids bind to the enzyme's active site via hydrogen bonding, while the -OH groups on the C ring contributed significantly to the increase in the inhibitory potentials of the molecules. Molecular dynamic simulations tested the stability of the 6-PGD-quercetin complex during 100 ns. These phytochemicals were suitable for drug use when optimized with absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) criteria. The effects of the studied compounds on cancer cell lines of potential targets were demonstrated by network analysis. In conclusion, this study suggests that flavonoids found to be potent inhibitors could serve as leading candidates to treat many cancers via 6-PGD inhibition.

Abstract
The increasing and intensifying ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in sunlight is an environmental threat to aquatic ecosystems, potentially affecting the entire life cycle of wild or aquacultural Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas with photoreception. Due to its complex composition, plasma is an important biological specimen for investigating the degree of disturbance from its steady state caused by the external environment in the open-pipe-type hemolymph of mollusks. We performed a multi-omic analysis of C. gigas plasma exposed to daylight UVB radiation. Hub differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified using the functional classification of Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs) through the protein-protein interaction (PPI)-based maximal clique centrality (MCC) algorithm. Our results summarize three types of UVB influences (disruption of the cell membrane, promotion of nucleotide metabolism, and inhibition of energy metabolism) on C. gigas based on transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses. The associated hub DEGs, DEPs (e.g., nucleoside diphosphate kinase, malate dehydrogenase, and hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase), and metabolites (e.g., uridine, adenine, deoxyguanosine, guanosine, and xylitol) in the plasma were identified as biomarkers of mollusk response to UVB radiation, and could be used to evaluate the influence of environmental UVB on mollusks in future studies.

[PMID: 36676959 PMCID: PMC9864769 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13010034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Targeting pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzymes has emerged as a promising strategy to combat cancer. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), the third critical enzyme of the PPP, catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate (6-PG) to produce ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru-5-P) and CO2. Overexpression of 6-PGD has been reported in multiple cancers and is recognized as a potential anticancer drug target. The current study is focused on the utilization of indispensable virtual screening tools for structure-based drug discovery. During the study, 17,000 natural compounds were screened against the 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) binding site of 6-PGD through a molecular operating environment (MOE), which revealed 115 inhibitors with higher selectivity and binding affinity. Out of the 115 best-fit compounds within the 6-PGD binding cavity, 15 compounds were selected and optimized through stringent in silico ADMET assessment models that justified the desirable pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and physicochemical profiles of 5 ligands. Further protein−ligand stability assessment through molecular dynamics (MD) simulation illustrated three potential hits, secoisolariciresinol, syringaresinol and cleomiscosin A, with stable confirmation. Moreover, 6-PGD inhibitor validation was performed by an in vitro enzymatic assay using human erythrocytes purified 6-PGD protein and A549 cell lysate protein. The results of the in vitro assays supported the in silico findings. In order to gain insight into the anticancer activity of the aforementioned compounds, they were subjected to CLC-Pred, an in silico cytotoxicity browsing tool, which proved their anticancer activity against several cancer cell lines at Pa > 0.5. Additionally, a confirmation for in silico cytotoxicity was made by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for commercially available hits syringaresinol and cleomiscosin A against lung cancer (A549) cells. The results demonstrated that syringaresinol has an IC50 value of 36.9 μg/mL, while cleomiscosin A has an IC50 value of 133 μg/mL. After MTT, flow cytometry analysis confirmed that compounds induced apoptosis in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. This study suggested that the respective lignan compounds can serve as lead candidates for lung cancer therapy via 6-PGD inhibition. Furthermore, in vivo experiments need to be conducted to confirm their efficacy.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is one of the toxic elements that cause environmental pollution. As a result of excessive accumulation of copper in the organism, it causes damage in various organs and tissues and hemolysis in erythrocytes. Astaxanthin (ATX) is a pigment belonging to the xanthophyll family, which is an oxygenated derivative of carotenoids. Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, ATX has an extraordinary potential to protect the organism against various diseases, especially cancer. The main objective of this study was to investigate the toxic effect of copper ions on the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phospho-gluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) enzymes and the role of astaxanthin in reducing this effect. In in vivo study, Wistar Albino male rats (n=28) were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group, copper (Cu2+) group, astaxanthin (ATX) group, and copper + astaxanthin (Cu2++ATX) group. The results show that G6PD enzyme activity in Cu2+ group was strongly inhibited (p ˂ 0.05), while in other groups, there were no significant effects compared to the control group (p ⩾ 0.05). 6PGD enzyme activity was significantly reduced in Cu2+ group compared to that in the control group (p ˂ 0.05), and GR enzyme activity was lower in Cu2+ group compared to that in the control group (p ˂ 0.05). Similarly, when GST enzyme activity was evaluated, a strong decrease was observed in the Cu2+ group compared to that in the control group (p ˂ 0.05), while the enzyme activity in the Cu2++ATX group approached the control group (p ⩾ 0.05). When TrxR enzyme activity level was examined, a statistically significant decrease was observed in the Cu2+ and Cu2++ATX groups (p ˂ 0.05), and the enzyme activity in the ATX group was found to be close to that in the control group. When in vitro results were evaluated, it was observed that copper ions inhibited G6PD enzyme purified from rat erythrocyte tissues with IC50=1.90 μM value and Ki = 0.97 μM ± 0.082 value and the inhibition was non-competitive. From the results, it can be concluded that Cu2+ ions have an inhibitory effect on rat erythrocyte pentose phosphate pathway and antioxidant system enzymes both in vivo and in vitro, and astaxanthin reduces this effect.

Abstract
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays a critical role by providing ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P) and NADPH for nucleotide synthesis and reduction energy, respectively. Accordingly, blocking the PPP process may be an effective strategy for enhancing oxidation therapy and inhibiting cell replication. Here, we designed a novel reduction-responsive PEGylated prodrug and constructed nanoparticles PsD@CPT to simultaneously deliver a PPP blocker, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and chemotherapeutic camptothecin (CPT) to integrate amplification of oxidation therapy and enhance cell replication inhibition. Following cellular uptake, DHEA and CPT were released from PsD@CPT in the presence of high glutathione (GSH) levels. As expected, DHEA-mediated reduction level decreases and CPT-induced oxidation level increases synergistically, breaking the redox balance to aggravate cancer oxidative stress. In addition, suppressing nucleotide synthesis by DHEA through the reduction of Ru5P and blocking DNA replication by CPT further motivates a synergistic inhibition effect on tumor cell proliferation. The results showed that PsD@CPT featuring multimodal treatment has satisfactory antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides a new tumor treatment strategy, which combines the amplification of oxidative stress and enhancement of inhibition of cell proliferation based on inhibition of the PPP process.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been efforts to develop therapeutic agents that target metabolic enzyme systems in addition to existing treatment in possible cancer treatments. Cyclophosphamide (CYP) is an anticancer drug commonly used in various cancer treatments. Chrysin (CH) and naringin (NR) are natural flavonoids that possess many medicinal and pharmacological properties. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of CH and NR against CYP-induced toxicity on some metabolic enzyme activities. For this purpose, 56 male rats were randomly divided into 8 groups in our in vivo study. The rats were pretreated with CH (25 and 50 mg/kg bw) and NR (50 and 100 mg/kg bw) for 7 days before administering a single dose of CYP (200 mg/kg bw) on the seventh day. According to the in vivo results of our study, it was observed that CH and NR regulated abnormal changes in CYP-induced enzyme activities. In addition, our in vitro study, G6PD enzyme was purified from rat erythrocyte using affinity chromatography. The effects of CH, NR, and CYP were investigated on the purified enzyme. It was determined that CH increased the enzyme activity, CYP ineffective on the enzyme activity, whereas NR inhibited the enzyme activity noncompetitively. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Reprogrammed metabolism is key biochemical characteristic of malignant cells, which represents one of the emerging hallmarks of cancer. Currently, there is rising contemplation on oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzymes as potential therapeutic hits due to their affiliation with tumor metabolism. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), third oxidative decarboxylase of PPP, has received a great deal of attention during recent years due to its critical role in tumorigenesis and redox homeostasis. 6PGD has been reported to overexpress in number of cancer types and its hyperactivation is mediated through post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications by YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2), Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2), EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and via direct structural interactions with ME1 (malic enzyme 1). Upregulated expression of 6PGD provides metabolic as well as defensive advantage to cancer cells, thus, promoting their proliferative and metastatic potential. Moreover, enhanced 6PGD expression also performs key role in development of chemoresistance as well as radiation resistance in cancer. This review aims to discuss the historical timeline and cancer-specific role of 6PGD, pharmacological and genetic inhibitors of 6PGD and 6PGD as prognostic biomarker in order to explore its potential for therapeutic interventions. We anticipate that targeting this imperative supplier of NADPH might serve as tempting avenue to combat the deadly disease like cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension, one of the most common cardiovascular diseases that can cause coronary disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, it is the major contributor to cardiac failure as well as renal insufficiency. OBJECTIVES As there are many cardio-active pyridazinone-base derivatives in clinical use, therefore, we aimed to synthesize a new series of pyridazin-3-ones and evaluate their vasorelaxant activity. METHODS A new series of synthesized compounds were carried out first by the synthesis of 6- flouroarylpyridazinones by cyclization of 3-(4-flourobenzoyl) propionic acid with hydrazine hydrate or arylhydrazines to provide the corresponding pyridazinone derivatives 2a-d. Mannich reaction was performed using morpholine or piperidine formaldehyde to obtain compounds 3a,b. On the other hand, reaction of 2a with various chloroacetamide intermediates, in dimethylformamide and potassium carbonate as a catalyst, afforded the target compounds 5a-c. The aromatic acid hydrazide intermediates 6a-g were prepared in 50-90% yield, by reacting to the prepared esters with hydrazine hydrate under reflux in ethanol. The two compounds 8a,b were prepared via condensation of 7a,b with ethyl chloroacetate in dry acetone. Finally, the target 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridazinones 9a-c derivatives were obtained by the reaction of 7a with the appropriate aromatic aldehyde or substituted acetophenones. The new compounds were then evaluated for their vasorelaxant properties using isolated thoracic rat aortic rings. In addition, a homology model was built and molecular modeling simulation of these compounds into the active sites of the newly created α1a-adrenoceptor model was performed in order to predict and rationalize their affinities toward this receptor. RESULTS Among these compounds; 5a was the most potent, it exhibited approximately two-times the activity of prazosin (IC50 = 0.250, 0.487 mmol, respectively) also, fourteen compounds were more potent than prazosin.

Abstract
Recently, inhibition effects of enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) has appeared as a promising approach for pharmacological intervention in a variety of disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and obesity. For this purpose, novel N-substituted rhodanine derivatives (RhAs) were synthesized by a green synthetic approach over one-pot reaction. Following synthesis the novel compounds, RhAs derivatives were tested against AChE and cytosolic carbonic anhydrase I, and II (hCAs I, and II) isoforms. As a result of this study, inhibition constant (Ki) were found in the range of 66.35 ± 8.35 to 141.92 ± 12.63 nM for AChE, 43.55 ± 14.20 to 89.44 ± 24.77 nM for hCA I, and 16.97 ± 1.42 to 64.57 ± 13.27 nM for hCA II, respectively. Binding energies were calculated with docking studies as -5.969, -5.981, and -9.121 kcal/mol for hCA I, hCA II, and AChE, respectively.
