Modulation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening by Myricetin and prediction of its-drug-like potential using in silico approach. Drug Chem Toxicol 2023; 46:1004-1014. [PMID: 36036089 DOI: 10.1080/01480545.2022.2117372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Myricetin has been demonstrated to have multiple biological functions with promising research and development prospects. This study investigated the effect of myricetin on liver mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pores and its inhibitory potential on proteins that are important in the apoptotic process in silico. Mitochondrial swelling was assessed as changes in absorbance under succinate-energized conditions. Cytochrome c release, mitochondrial-lipid peroxidation, caspase 3 and 9 expressions, as well as calcium ATPase, were assessed. Pharmacokinetic properties of myricetin were predicted through the SwissADME server while the binding affinity of myricetin toward the proteins was computed using the AutodockVina Screening tool. The conformational stability of protein-ligand interactions was evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations analysis through the iMODS server. Myricetin inhibited the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and also reversed the increase in mitochondrial lipid peroxidation caused by calcium and other toxicants. Myricetin also caused a reduction in the expression of caspase 3 and 9 as well as calcium ATPase activity. The molecular docking results revealed that myricetin had a considerable binding affinity to the pocket site of caspase 3 and 9 as well as calcium ATPase. Myricetin showed a good drug-likeness based on the predicted pharmacokinetic properties as revealed by low CYP 450 inhibitory promiscuity and relatively low toxicity. It could therefore be suggested that myricetin could be useful in the management of diseases where too many apoptosis occur characterized by excessive tissue wastage such as neurodegenerative conditions and could as well play a role in protecting the physicochemical properties of membrane bilayers from free radical-induced severe cellular damage.

Abstract
Cancer is a global public health problem that affects millions each year. Novel anticancer drug candidates are in need to treat various cancers and to overcome the resistance that exists against drugs in use. Benzimidazole derivatives have been reported as anticancer agents. These lead us to synthesize similar benzimidazole derivatives and investigate their anticancer activity. In this study, six new 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one-based molecules (2a-f) were synthesized. The structures of these molecules were verified by spectroscopic methods. The antiproliferative activities of molecules 2a-f were screened against a panel of human cancer cell lines, including the liver, colon, lung, and breast. The molecules were also tested towards normal human lung cell line to determine their selectivity. The results demonstrated that compound 2d had the highest cytotoxic effect compared to compounds 2a-c, 2e, and 2f against DLD-1 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The binding potential of the relatively active compound, 2d, with three targets was investigated through molecular docking. The stability of target-compound complexes procured from the docking was explored through molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The docking and MD simulation studies revealed that compound 2d had the highest potential to bind to GALR3 among the targets. Furthermore, the computational pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that the synthesized compounds had drug-like properties.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The current research involves the synthesis of a new Schiff base through the reaction between 2-chlorobenzaldehyde and 3,3'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine by using a natural acid catalyst and a synthesized compound physicochemically characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thermal studies were conducted using thermogravimetric, differential thermal analysis, and differential thermogravimetric curves. These curves were obtained in an inert nitrogen environment from ambient temperature to 1263 K using heating rates of 10, 15, and 20 K·min-1. Using thermocurve data, model-free isoconversional techniques such as Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, and Friedman are used to determine kinetic parameters. These parameters include activation energy, phonon frequency factor, activation enthalpy, activation entropy, and Gibb's free energy change. All of the results have been thoroughly investigated. The molecule's anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties were also examined. To learn more about the potential of the Schiff base and how successfully it can suppress the amylase enzyme, a molecular docking experiment was also conducted. For in silico research, the Swiss Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity algorithms were used to calculate the theoretical pharmacokinetic properties, oral bioavailability, toxic effects, and biological activities of the synthesized molecule. Moreover, the cytotoxicity tests against a human lung cancer cell line (A549) using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay demonstrated that the synthesized Schiff base exhibited significant anticancer properties.

Abstract
Background:
The need to develop novel antimicrobial agents is apparent as infectious diseases
are increasing and resistance is rapidly developing against the drugs used in the treatment.
Objective:
This study aimed at the synthesis, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and computational elucidation
of the mechanism of action of benzoxazole derivatives. It also aimed to compare the results obtained
in this study with the previous studies by our group. This would pave the way for designing novel
molecules with better antimicrobial activity. The other goal was pharmacophore analysis and in silico
ADMET analysis of them.
Methods:
In this study, synthesis, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, molecular docking, pharmacophore
analysis, and ADMET prediction were carried out.
Results:
The antimicrobial activity studies demonstrated that the synthesized compounds were active
against standard strains and clinical isolates at high concentrations. Then, the antimicrobial testing results
were compared to similar benzoxazoles tested by our group previously. Benzoxazole derivatives without
a methylene bridge between oxazole and phenyl ring were found to be more active than those with the
methylene bridge. This was also confirmed by molecular modeling undertaken in this study. The computational
results indicated that the antibacterial activity could be achieved by DNA gyrase inhibition.
Pharmacophore analysis showed that hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), hydrogen bond donor (HBD), and
hydrophobicity features would contribute to the inhibition. In addition, in silico ADMET property investigation
of the compounds exhibited that they had the desired pharmacokinetics.
Conclusion:
Although antibacterial activity by inhibiting DNA gyrase is selective, the synthesized compounds
were active at much higher concentrations than the standards. Therefore, in prospective antimicrobial
studies, it is better to focus on benzoxazole derivatives without the methylene bridge. Since the
compounds had suitable in silico ADMET properties, screening them against the other pharmacologic
activities should be carried out. It is recommended to support the molecular modeling results with in vitro
or in vivo studies.

Abstract
Impurities in pharmaceuticals of potentially hazardous materials may cause drug safety problems. Macrolide antibiotic preparations include active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and different types of impurities with similar structures, and the amount of these impurities is usually very low and difficult to be separated for toxicity evaluation. Our previous study indicated that hepatotoxicity induced by macrolides was correlated with c-fos overexpression. Here, we report an assessment of macrolide-related liver toxicity by ADMET prediction, molecular docking, structure–toxicity relationship, and experimental verification via detection of the c-fos gene expression in liver cells. The results showed that a rapid assessment model for the prediction of hepatotoxicity of macrolide antibiotics could be established by calculation of the -CDOCKER interaction energy score with the FosB/JunD bZIP domain and then confirmed by the detection of the c-fos gene expression in L02 cells. Telithromycin, a positive compound of liver toxicity, was used to verify the correctness of the model through comparative analysis of liver toxicity in zebrafish and cytotoxicity in L02 cells exposed to telithromycin and azithromycin. The prediction interval (48.1∼53.1) for quantitative hepatotoxicity in the model was calculated from the docking scores of seven macrolide antibiotics commonly used in clinics. We performed the prediction interval to virtual screening of azithromycin impurities with high hepatotoxicity and then experimentally confirmed by liver toxicity in zebrafish and c-fos gene expression. Simultaneously, we found the hepatotoxicity of azithromycin impurities may be related to the charge of nitrogen (N) atoms on the side chain group at the C5 position via structure–toxicity relationship of azithromycin impurities with different structures. This study provides a theoretical basis for improvement of the quality of macrolide antibiotics.

Abstract
Proline is a unique, endogenous amino acid, prevalent in proteins and essential for living organisms. It is appreciated as a tecton for the rational design of new bio-active substances. Herein, we present a short overview of the subject. We analyzed 2366 proline-derived structures deposited in the Cambridge Structure Database, with emphasis on the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. The latter are the first-line antihypertensive and cardiological drugs. Their side effects prompt a search for improved pharmaceuticals. Characterization of tectons (molecular building blocks) and the resulting supramolecular synthons (patterns of intermolecular interactions) involving proline derivatives, as presented in this study, may be useful for in silico molecular docking and macromolecular modeling studies. The DFT, Hirshfeld surface and energy framework methods gave considerable insight into the nature of close inter-contacts and supramolecular topology. Substituents of proline entity are important for the formation and cooperation of synthons. Tectonic subunits contain proline moieties characterized by diverse ionization states: -N and -COOH(-COO-), -N+ and -COOH(-COO-), -NH and -COOH(-COO-), -NH+ and -COOH(-COO-), and -NH2+ and -COOH(-COO-). Furthermore, pharmacological profiles of ACE inhibitors and their impurities were determined via an in silico approach. The above data were used to develop comprehensive classification, which may be useful in further drug design studies.

Abstract
Macrolide antibiotics (macrolides) are among the most commonly prescribed antibiotics worldwide and are used for a wide range of infections, but macrolides also expose people to the risk of adverse events include hepatotoxicity. Here, we report the liver toxicity of macrolides with different structures in zebrafish. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicology (ADMET) parameters of macrolide compounds were predicted and contrasted by utilizing in silico analysis. Fluorescence imaging and Oil Red O stain assays showed all the tested macrolide drugs induced liver degeneration, changed liver size and liver steatosis in larval zebrafish. Through RNA-seq analysis, we found seven co-regulated differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs) associated with metabolism, apoptosis and immune system biological processes, and two co-regulated significant pathways including amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and apoptosis signaling pathway. We found that only fosab of seven co-DEGs was in the two co-regulated significant pathways. fosab encoded proto-oncogene c-Fos, which was closely associated with liver diseases. The whole-mount in situ hybridization showed high transcription of c-Fos induced by macrolide compounds mainly in the liver region of zebrafish larvae. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage assays revealed that macrolides exerts significant cytotoxic effects on L02 cells. qRT-PCR and western blot analysis demonstrated macrolides also promoted human c-Fos expression in L02 cells. The c-Fos overexpression significantly reduced cell viability by using CCK-8 assay. These data indicate that hepatotoxicity induced by macrolides may be correlated with c-Fos expression activated by these compounds. This study may provide a biomarker for the further investigations on the mechanism of hepatotoxicity induced by macrolide drugs with different structures, and extend our understanding for improving rational clinical application of macrolides.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Umbelliferon derivatives are exclusively found in plants of Ferula spp. that are commonly used in curing various health concerns related to oral cavity. Diabetic patient are especially effected with periodontitis and allied complications. METHOD We investigated various compounds isolated from Ferula narthex exudate against clinical strains obtained from diabetic patients with periodontitis. Further antibiofilm, antiquorum sensing and molecular docking studies and ADMET analysis were performed. RESULTS The docking target included 2Q0J, 2UV0, 3QP5 and 3QP1. HYDE affinity assessment was performed for the first 30 top ranking docked conformations within these active sites. The binding free energy ΔG, FlexX docking score and the most favorable poses for all the compounds were determined. During in vitro analysis, feselol presented high inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC 0.01 mg/mL, MBC 0.02 mg/mL). Similarly, Feselol presented significant inhibition against clinical strain S. epidermidis (MIC 0.087 mg/mL, MBC 0.174 mg/mL) and S. aureus (MIC 0.087 mg/mL, MBC 0.087 mg/mL) preceded by 10'-R-acetyl-karatavacinol against S. epidermidis (MIC 0.56 mg/mL, MBC 0.56 mg/mL) and S. aureus (MIC 0.28 mg/mL, MBC 0.28 mg/mL). During antibiofilm inhibition assay, 10' R-acetyl-karatavacinol showed significant inhibition (54% at a final concentration 0.45 mg/mL), whereas slight antiquorum sensing activity was recorded. CONCLUSIONS The umbelliferon derivatives have significant inhibition of clinical isolates and moderate antibiofilm potential.

Han Y, Zhang J, Hu CQ, Zhang X, Ma B, Zhang P. In silico ADME and Toxicity Prediction of Ceftazidime and Its Impurities. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:434. [PMID: 31068821 PMCID: PMC6491819 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.00434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 140] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2019] [Accepted: 04/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To improve the quality control of drugs, we predicted the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of ceftazidime (CAZ) and its impurities via in silico methods. We used three types of quantitative structure-activity relationship and docking software for precise prediction: Discovery Studio 4.0, OECD QSAR Toolbox 4.1, Toxtree, and the pkCSM approach. The pharmacokinetics and toxicity of ceftazidime and impurity A (Δ-2-CAZ) are similar. The biological properties of impurity B (CAZ E-isomer) are different from CAZ. Therefore, we focused on drug stability to analyze impurity B. Impurities D and I have strong lipophilicity, good intestinal absorption, and poor excretion in the body. Impurity D is particularly neurotoxic and genotoxic. It is important to control the content of impurity D. The toxicity of impurity F is low, but the toxicity is enhanced when it becomes the C-3 side chain of CAZ and forms a quaternary amine group. We conclude that the beta-lactam ring of nucleus, the quaternary amine group at the C-3 side chain, and the acetates at the C-7 side chain of CAZ are the main toxic functional groups. Impurities B and D may be the genetic impurity in CAZ and may also have neurotoxicity. This in silico approach can predict the toxicity of other cephalosporins and impurities.

Abstract
Given the rise of apoptosis-resistant tumors, there exist a growing interest in developing new drugs capable of inducing different types of cell death to reduce colorectal cancer-related death rates. As apoptosis and necroptosis do not share cellular machinery, necroptosis induction may have a great therapeutic potential on those apoptosis-resistant cancers, despite the inflammatory effects associated with it. We have synthesized an alkynyl gold(I) complex [Au(CC-2-NC5H4)(PTA)] whose anticancer effect was tested on the colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cell line. With regard to its mechanism of action, this gold complex enters the mitochondria and disrupts its normal function, leading to an increase in ROS production, which triggers necroptosis. Necroptosis induction has been found dependent of TNF-α (Tumor necrosisfactor α) and TNFR1(Tumor necrosisfactor receptor 1) binding, RIP1(Receptor-Interacting Protein 1) activation and NF-κB (Nuclear Factor Kappa-Light-Chain-Enhancer of Activated B Cells) signaling. Moreover, the antitumor potential of [Au(CC-2-NC5H4)(PTA)] has also been confirmed on the 3D cancer model spheroid. Overall, the obtained data show firstly that gold complexes might have the ability of inducing necroptosis, and secondarily that our compound [Au(CC-2-NC5H4)(PTA)] is an interesting alternative to current chemotherapy drugs in cases of apoptosis resistance.
