Elaboration of the Effective Multi-Target Therapeutic Platform for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease Based on Novel Monoterpene-Derived Hydroxamic Acids. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119743. [PMID: 37298694 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Novel monoterpene-based hydroxamic acids of two structural types were synthesized for the first time. The first type consisted of compounds with a hydroxamate group directly bound to acyclic, monocyclic and bicyclic monoterpene scaffolds. The second type included hydroxamic acids connected with the monoterpene moiety through aliphatic (hexa/heptamethylene) or aromatic linkers. An in vitro analysis of biological activity demonstrated that some of these molecules had powerful HDAC6 inhibitory activity, with the presence of a linker area in the structure of compounds playing a key role. In particular, it was found that hydroxamic acids containing a hexa- and heptamethylene linker and (-)-perill fragment in the Cap group exhibit excellent inhibitory activity against HDAC6 with IC50 in the submicromolar range from 0.56 ± 0.01 µM to 0.74 ± 0.02 µM. The results of the study of antiradical activity demonstrated the presence of moderate ability for some hydroxamic acids to scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2ROO• radicals. The correlation coefficient between the DPPH radical scavenging activity and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value was R2 = 0.8400. In addition, compounds with an aromatic linker based on para-substituted cinnamic acids, having a monocyclic para-menthene skeleton as a Cap group, 35a, 38a, 35b and 38b, demonstrated a significant ability to suppress the aggregation of the pathological β-amyloid peptide 1-42. The 35a lead compound with a promising profile of biological activity, discovered in the in vitro experiments, demonstrated neuroprotective effects on in vivo models of Alzheimer's disease using 5xFAD transgenic mice. Together, the results obtained demonstrate a potential strategy for the use of monoterpene-derived hydroxamic acids for treatment of various aspects of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The cationic pentapeptide Glu-Gln-Arg-Pro-Arg (EQRPR) belongs to the family of anti-cancer peptides with significant anti-cancer activity. However, the mechanism by which the peptide performs this activity is unknown. In this study, we explored the pharmaceutical profile of Glu-Gln-Arg-Pro-Arg pentapeptide and revealed its anticancer properties by in silico docking studies. Moreover, the effect of EQRPR behavior of the DPPC membrane was investigated by means of Langmuir monolayer technique and the results were discussed in terms of mutual interactions. To evaluate the binding mechanisms, the pentapeptide and its various D-amino acid substituted analogs were docked to both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase, Fyn. Simultaneous binding of the pentapeptides to both EGFR and Fyn proteins, which are receptor- and non-receptor-kinases, respectively, suggest that these peptides can be an effective agent for cancer treatment. Moreover, to show the potential of the investigated pentapeptides to overcome the generated mutation-related drug resistance to EGFR targeted therapies, molecular docking investigations of EQRPR and all its D-analogs were performed against the prospective targets: Wild type EGFRWT and mutant EGFRT790M. Erlotinib and TAK-285 were used as reference molecules. The strong interaction of the peptide with EGFRWT (from -9.24 to -9.75 kcal/mol) and the secondary mutant EGFRT790M (from -9.28 to -9.64 kcal/mol) observed in most cancer recurrence cases indicates its good potential to overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy. In addition, the pharmacological properties of the investigated pentapeptides were revealed by in silico ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) and toxicity analysis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain essential oil (LNEO) from the Laurus nobilis L. plant, and to prepare LNEO-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) as an approach in cancer treatment. The components of the obtained LNEO were analyzed using GC-MS. The LNEO-NPs were synthesized by the single-emulsion method. The LNEO-NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectrometry, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and a DNA binding assay, which was performed via the UV-Vis titration method. According to the results, the LNEO-NPs had a 211.4 ± 4.031 nm average particle size, 0.068 ± 0.016 PdI, and -7.87 ± 1.15 mV zeta potential. The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity were calculated as 59.25% and 25.65%, respectively, and the in vitro drug release study showed an LNEO release of 93.97 ± 3.78% over the 72 h period. Moreover, the LNEO was intercalatively bound to CT-DNA. In addition, the mechanism of action of LNEO on a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor was predicted, and its antiproliferative activity and mechanism were determined using molecular docking analysis. It was concluded that LNEO-loaded PLGA NPs may be used for cancer treatment as a novel phytotherapeutic agent-based controlled-release system.

Abstract
Aims:
Design isoxazole bearing leads as dual inhibitors against Amyloid β and BACE-1 loop
in protein fibrillation.
Background:
Protein fibrillation is one of the key reasons for several diseases, namely Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,
and many others. One of the key strategies of preventing protein fibrillation is destabilizing the
protein fibrils themselves or inhibiting the amyloid fibril-forming pathway in the initial stage.
Introduction:
Attempts have been taken to design newer leads to inhibit protein fibrillation by targeting
the β-amyloidogenesis pathway in the brain. To exploit interfenestration between Amyloid β -42 protein
and BACE-1 (β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme) for amyloidogenesis, studies are undertaken
to design dual inhibitors against the same.
Method:
In vitro binding interactions were found using docking, de novo ligand design, and MD simulation
study.
Results:
Three compounds bearing an isoxazole heterocyclic nucleus were designed which could successfully
bind to the hydrophobic raft and salt bridge residues Asp 23-Lys-26 of Amyloid β, destabilizing the
growing fibril. Additionally, one of our candidate compounds exhibited force of interaction with Thr232
at the S3 pocket of BACE-1, interacted with key residue Asp228, Tyr71, and Thr72 of the β-hairpin flap
and hydrogen bonding with Gly11 at loop 10s.
Conclusion:
Protein flexibility dynamics of the Aβ-42 protein revealed that there is a considerable conformational
change of the same with or without ligand binding. The lower RMSF of the bound region and
reprogramming residual contacts within the Aβ-42 protein suggested successful binding of the ligand with
the protein, lowering the access for further β-β dimerization.

Abstract
The successful conversion of natural products (NPs) into lead compounds and novel pharmacophores has emboldened the researchers to harness the drug discovery process with a lot more enthusiasm. However, forfeit of bioactive NPs resulting from an overabundance of metabolites and their wide dynamic range have created the bottleneck in NP researches. Similarly, the existence of multidimensional challenges, including the evaluation of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety parameters, has been a concerning issue. Advancement of technology has brought the evolution of traditional natural product researches into the computer-based assessment exhibiting pretentious remarks about their efficiency in drug discovery. The early attention to the quality of the NPs may reduce the attrition rate of drug candidates by parallel assessment of ADMET profiling. This article reviews the status, challenges, opportunities, and integration of advanced technologies in natural product research. Indeed, emphasis will be laid on the current and futuristic direction towards the application of newer technologies in early-stage ADMET profiling of bioactive moieties from the natural sources. It can be expected that combinatorial approaches in ADMET profiling will fortify the natural product-based drug discovery in the near future.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a disease of bone marrow stem cells caused by excessive growth and accumulation of granulocytes in the blood. Aberrant expression of the BCR-ABL proteins in bone marrow stem cells have found out in 95 % cases of CML. Tyrosine Kinase domains (SH2 and SH3) of BCR-ABL proteins are the potent targets to inhibit the process. Initially, imatinib is preferred as an efficient inhibitor to control functional activity of disease. Recently, it has been reported that the advanced stage of CML developed resistance against imatinib. In continuation, dasatinib is the first drug to combat against this disease by targeting multiple receptors and proven better as compared to imatinib. Here, an attempt has been made to identify similar analogs of dasatinib. Virtual screening was performed against various natural compound databases to get some potent natural compounds which are able to inhibit more than one receptor. Binding affinity of screened natural compounds was compared with some of the well-known inhibitors like imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib etc., by analyzing their docking score and binding efficiency with the receptor. Stability of the best ligand-receptor complex was checked by performing 10 ns molecular dynamics simulation. ADMET properties of the obtained screened compounds were analyzed to check drug like property. Based on the aforementioned analysis, it has been suggested that these screened potent compounds are capable to inhibit multiple receptor proteins like ABL and SRC and consequently combat against the deadly disease CML.

Abstract
AbstractAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by normal memory loss and cognitive impairment in humans. Many drug targets and disease-modulating therapies are available for treatment of AD, but none of these are effective enough in reducing problems associated with recognition and memory. Potential drug targets so far reported for AD are β-secretase, Γ-secretase, amyloid beta (Aβ) and Aβ fibrils, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyl-transferase (ACAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Herbal remedies (antioxidants) and natural metal-chelators have shown a very significant role in reducing the risk of AD, as well as lowering the effect of Aβ in AD patients. Researchers are working in the direction of antisense and stem cell-based therapies for a cure for AD, which mainly depends on the clearance of misfolded protein deposits — including Aβ, tau, and alpha-synuclein. Computational approaches for inhibitor designing, interaction analysis, principal descriptors and an absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) study could speed up the process of drug development with higher efficacy and less chance of failure. This paper reviews the known drugs, drug targets, and existing and future therapies for the treatment of AD.
