Abstract
A new series of thiazolidine-2,4-dione tethered 1,2,3-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and screened for their α-amylase inhibitory potential employing in vitro and in silico approaches. The target compounds were synthesized with the help of Cu (I) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of terminal alkyne with numerous azides, followed by unambiguously characterizing the structure by employing various spectroscopic approaches. The synthesized derivatives were assessed for their in vitro α-amylase inhibition and it was found that thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives 6e, 6j, 6o, 6u and 6x exhibited comparable inhibition with the standard drug acarbose. The compound 6e with a 7-chloroquinolinyl substituent on the triazole ring exhibited significant inhibition potential with IC50 value of 0.040 μmol mL-1 whereas compound 6c (IC50 = 0.099 μmol mL-1) and 6h (IC50 = 0.098 μmol mL-1) were poor inhibitors. QSAR studies revealed the positively correlating descriptors that aid in the design of novel compounds. Molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding interactions with the active site of the biological receptor and the stability of the complex over a period of 100 ns was examined using molecular dynamics studies. The physiochemical properties and drug-likeliness behavior of the potent derivatives were investigated by carrying out the ADMET studies.

Abstract
Microalgae industrial production is viewed as a solution for alternative production of nutraceuticals, cosmetics, biofertilizers, and biopolymers. Throughout the years, several technological advances have been implemented, increasing the competitiveness of microalgae industry. However, online monitoring and real-time process control of a microalgae production factory still require further development. In this mini-review, non-destructive tools for online monitoring of cellular agriculture applications are described. Still, the focus is on the use of fluorescence spectroscopy to monitor several parameters (cell concentration, pigments, and lipids) in the microalgae industry. The development presented makes it the most promising solution for monitoring up-and downstream processes, different biological parameters simultaneously, and different microalgae species. The improvements needed for industrial application of this technology are also discussed.

Peng Y, Dong H, Welsh WJ. Comprehensive 3D-QSAR Model Predicts Binding Affinity of Structurally Diverse Sigma 1 Receptor Ligands. J Chem Inf Model 2019; 59:486-497. [PMID: 30497261 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jcim.8b00521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The Sigma 1 Receptor (S1R) has attracted intense interest as a pharmaceutical target for various therapeutic indications, including the treatment of neuropathic pain and the potentiation of opioid analgesia. Efforts by drug developers to rationally design S1R antagonists have been spurred recently by the 2016 publication of the high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of the ligand-bound human S1R. Until now, however, the absence in the published literature of a single, large-scale, and comprehensive quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model that encompasses a structurally diverse collection of S1R ligands has impaired rapid progress. To our best knowledge, the present study represents the first report of a statistically robust and highly predictive 3D-QSAR model (R2 = 0.92, Q2 = 0.62, Rpred2 = 0.81) based on the X-ray crystal structure of human S1R and constructed from a pooled compilation of 180 S1R antagonists that encompass five structurally diverse chemical families investigated using identical experimental protocols. Best practices, as recommended by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD: http://www.oecd.org/ ), were adopted for pooling data from disparate sources and for QSAR model development and both internal and external model validation. The practical utility of the final 3D-QSAR model was tested by virtual screening of the DrugBank database of FDA approved drugs supplemented by eight reported S1R antagonists. Among the top-ranked 40 DrugBank hits, four approved drugs which were previously unknown as S1R antagonists were tested using in vitro radiolabeled human S1R binding assays. Of these, two drugs (diphenhydramine and phenyltoloxamine) exhibited potent S1R binding affinity with Ki = 58 nM and 160 nM, respectively. As diphenhydramine is approved as an antiallergic, and phenyltoloxamine as an analgesic and sedative, each of these compounds represents a viable starting point for a drug discovery campaign aimed at the development of novel S1R antagonists for a wide range of therapeutic indications.
