Machine Learning Scoring Functions for Drug Discovery from Experimental and Computer-Generated Protein-Ligand Structures: Towards Per-Target Scoring Functions. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041661. [PMID: 36838647 PMCID: PMC9966217 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041661] [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: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, machine learning has been proposed as a promising strategy to build accurate scoring functions for computational docking finalized to numerically empowered drug discovery. However, the latest studies have suggested that over-optimistic results had been reported due to the correlations present in the experimental databases used for training and testing. Here, we investigate the performance of an artificial neural network in binding affinity predictions, comparing results obtained using both experimental protein-ligand structures as well as larger sets of computer-generated structures created using commercial software. Interestingly, similar performances are obtained on both databases. We find a noticeable performance suppression when moving from random horizontal tests to vertical tests performed on target proteins not included in the training data. The possibility to train the network on relatively easily created computer-generated databases leads us to explore per-target scoring functions, trained and tested ad-hoc on complexes including only one target protein. Encouraging results are obtained, depending on the type of protein being addressed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A2B adenosine receptor (A2BAR) plays a crucial role in pathophysiologic conditions associated with high adenosine release, typical of airway inflammatory pathologies, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. In some pathologies, simultaneous inactivation of A2A and A2BARs is desirable to have a synergism of action that leads to a greater efficacy of the pharmacological treatment and less side effects due to the dose of drug administered. In this context, it is strongly required to identify molecules capable of selectively antagonizing A2BAR or A2A/A2BARs. AREAS COVERED The review provides a summary of patents, published from 2016 to present, on chemicals and their clinical use. In this paper, information on the biological activity of representative structures of recently developed A2B or A2A/A2B receptor ligands is reported. EXPERT OPINION Among the four P1 receptors, A2BAR is the most inscrutable and the least studied until a few years ago, but its involvement in various inflammatory pathologies has recently made it a pharmacological target of high interest. Many efforts by the academy and pharmaceutical companies have been made to discover potential A2BAR and A2A/A2BARs drugs. Although several compounds have been synthesized only a few molecules have entered clinical trials.

Abstract
Endogenous nucleoside adenosine modulates a number of physiological effects through interaction with P1 purinergic receptors. All of them are G protein coupled receptors and, to date, four subtypes have been characterized and named A1, A2A, A2B, and A3. In recent years adenosine receptors, particularly the A2A subtype, have become attractive targets for the treatment of several neurodegenerative disorders, known to involve neuroinflammation, like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, multiple sclerosis and neuropsychiatric conditions. In fact, it has been demonstrated that inhibition of A2A adenosine receptors exerts neuroprotective effects counteracting neuroinflammatory processes and astroglial and microglial activation. The A2A adenosine receptor antagonist istradefylline, developed by Kyowa Hakko Kirin Inc., was approved in Japan as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and very recently it was approved also by the US Food and Drug Administration. These findings pave the way for new therapeutic opportunities, so, in this review, a summary of the most relevant and promising A2A adenosine receptor antagonists will be presented along with their preclinical and clinical studies in neuroinflammation related diseases.

Abstract
Adenosine is an endogenous purine-based nucleoside expressed nearly in all body tissues. It regulates various body functions by activating four G-protein coupled receptors, A1, A2A, A2B, and A3. These receptors are widely acknowledged as drug targets for treating different neurological, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases. Although numerous adenosine receptor inhibitors have been developed worldwide, achieving target selectivity is still a big hurdle in drug development. However, the identification of specific radioligands-based affinity assay, fluorescent ligands, and MS-based ligand assay have contributed to the development of selective and potent adenosine ligands. In recent years various small heterocyclic-based molecules have shown some promising results. Istradefylline has been approved for treating Parkinson's in Japan, while preladenant, tozadenant, CVT-6883, MRS-1523, and many more are under different phases of clinical development. The present review is focused on the quest to develop potent and selective adenosine inhibitors from 2013 to early 2021 by various research groups. The review also highlights their biological activity, selectivity, structure-activity relationship, molecular docking, and mechanistic studies. A special emphsesis on drug designing strategies has been also given the manuscript. The comprehensive compilation of research work carried out in the field will provide inevitable scope for designing and developing novel adenosine inhibitors with improved selectivity and efficacy.

Design and Synthesis of Novel Thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine Derivatives with High Affinity for Both the Adenosine A 1 and A 2A Receptors, and Efficacy in Animal Models of Depression. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14070657.

Abstract
New compounds with a 7-amino-2-arylmethyl-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine structure were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their affinity and/or potency at the human (h) A1, hA2A, hA2B, and hA3 adenosine receptors (ARs). Several compounds (5, 8–10, 13, 18, 19) were characterized by nanomolar and subnanomolar binding affinities for the hA1 and the hA2A AR, respectively. Results of molecular docking studies supported the in vitro results. The 2-(2-fluorobenzyl)-5-(furan-2yl)-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-7-amine derivative 18 (hA1 Ki = 1.9 nM; hA2A Ki = 0.06 nM) was evaluated for its antidepressant-like activity in in vivo studies, the forced swimming test (FST), the tail suspension test (TST), and the sucrose preference test (SPT) in mice, showing an effect comparable to that of the reference amitriptyline.

Abstract
This paper describes identification of the first-in-class multi-target adenosine A2A receptor antagonists-carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX and XII inhibitors, as new potential antitumor agents. To obtain the multi-acting ligands, the 8-amino-2,6-diphenyltriazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-3-one, a potent adenosine hA2A receptor (AR) antagonist, was taken as lead compound. To address activity against the tumor-associated CA isoforms, it was modified by introduction of different substituents (OH, COOH, CONHOH, SO2NH2) on the 6-phenyl ring or on a phenyl pendant connected to the former through different spacers. Among the new triazolopyrazines 1-23, the most active were those featuring the sulfonamide residue. Derivative 20, featuring a 4-sulfonamidophenyl residue attached through a CONH(CH2)2CONH spacer at the para-position of the 6-phenyl ring, showed the best combination of activity at the three targets. In fact, it inhibited both the tumor-associated hCA IX and XII isozymes at nanomolar concentration (Ki = 5.0 and 27.0 nM), and also displayed a quite good affinity for the hA2A AR (Ki = 108 nM). Compound 14, bearing the 4-sulfonamidophenyl residue linked at the para-position of the 6-phenyl ring by a CONH spacer, was remarkable because both its hA2A AR affinity and hCA XII inhibitory potency were in the low nanomolar range (Ki = 6.4 and 6.2 nM, respectively). Molecular docking studies highlighted the interaction mode of selected triazolopyrazines in the hA2A AR recognition pocket and in the active site of hCA II, IX and XII isoforms.

Abstract
The therapeutic use of A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases, is a very promising approach. Moreover, the potential therapeutic role of A2A AR antagonists to avoid both immunoescaping of tumor cells and tumor development is well documented. Herein, we report on the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new set of piperazine- and piperidine- containing 7-amino-2-(furan-2-yl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives designed as human A2A AR antagonists/inverse agonists. Binding and potency data indicated that a good number of potent and selective hA2A AR inverse agonists were found. Amongst them, the 2-(furan-2-yl)-N5-(2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7-diamine 11 exhibited the highest A2A AR binding affinity (Ki = 8.62 nM) as well as inverse agonist potency (IC50 = 7.42 nM). In addition, bioinformatics prediction using the web tool SwissADME revealed that 8, 11, and 19 possessed good drug-likeness profiles.

Abstract
In this work, further structural investigations on the 8-amino-2-phenyl-6-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-3-one series were carried out to achieve potent and selective human A2A adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists. Different ether and amide moieties were attached at the para-position of the 6-phenyl ring, thus leading to compounds 1-9 and 10-18, respectively. Most of these moieties contained terminal basic rings (pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperidine and substituted piperazines) which were thought to confer good physicochemical and drug-like properties. Compounds 11-16, bearing the amide linker, possessed high affinity and selectivity for the hA2A AR (Ki = 3.6-11.8 nM). Also derivatives 1-9, featuring an ether linker, preferentially targeted the hA2A AR but with lower affinity, compared to those of the relative amide compounds. Docking studies, carried out at the hA2A AR binding site, highlighted some crucial ligand-receptor interactions, particularly those provided by the appended substituent whose nature deeply affected hA2A AR affinity.

Abstract
New 8-amino-6-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-3-ones were designed to obtain dual antioxidant-human A2A adenosine receptor (hA2A AR) antagonists. Two sets of compounds were synthesized, the first featuring phenol rings at the 6-position, the second bearing the lipoyl and 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tertbut-benzoyl residues appended by different linkers on the 6-phenyl ring. Several new triazolopyrazines (1-21) were potent and selective hA2A AR antagonists (Ki = 0.17-54.5 nM). Compounds 11, 15, and 21, featuring antioxidant moieties, and compound 12, lacking the antioxidant functionality, reduced oxaliplatin-induced toxicity in microglia cells, the most active being the lipoyl-derivative 15 and the (4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl)benzoyl-analogue 21 which were effective in reducing the oxygen free radical level. The lipoyl-derivative 15 was also able to revert oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in the mouse. In vivo efficacy of 15 makes it a promising neuroprotective agent in oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
The fight against neurodegenerative diseases is promoting the searching of nutrients, preferably of wide consumption, with proven effects on health. Beer is widely consumed and has potential benefits on health. In this work, three different extracts from dark beer (DB), non-alcoholic beer (NAB), and lager beer (LB) were assayed at 30 min and 24 h in rat C6 glioma and human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells in order to study their possible protective effects. Cell viability and adenosine A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptor gene expression and protein levels were measured in control cells and in cells challenged with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant stressor. Among the three extracts analyzed, DB showed a greater protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and cell death. Moreover, a higher A1 receptor level was also induced by this extract. Interestingly, A1 receptor level was also increased by NAB and LB extracts, but to a lower extent, and the protective effect of these extracts against H2O2 was lower. This possible correlation between protection and A1 receptor level was observed at 24 h in both C6 and SH-SY5Y cells. In summary, different beer extracts modulate, to a different degree, adenosine receptors expression and protect both glioma and neuroblastoma cells from oxidative stress.
