Substitution of bridge carbons for sulphur in calix[4]arene-bis-α-hydroxymethylphosphonic acid transformed mobile carrier into ionic channel accompanied with evoked muscle contraction and impaired neurotransmission powered by membrane action of resulting thiocalix[4]arene-bis-α-hydroxymethylphosphonic acid. Toxicol In Vitro 2024; 98:105815. [PMID: 38636607 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2024.105815] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The action of calix[4]arenes C-424, C-425 and C-1193 has been investigated on suspended cholesterol/egg phosphatidylcholine lipid bilayer in a voltage-clamp mode. Comparative analysis with the membrane action by calix[4]arene-bis-α-hydroxymethylphosphonic acid (C-99) has shown that the substitution of bridge carbons for sulphur and addition of another methyl group to two alkyl tales in the lower rim of former dipropoxycalix[4]arene C-99 transformed mobile carrier that C-99 created in lipid bilayer (Shatursky et al., 2014) into a transmembrane pore as exposure of the bilayer membrane to sulphur-containing derivative dibutoxythiocalix[4]arene C-1193 resulted in microscopic transmembrane current patterns indicative of a channel-like mode of facilitated diffusion. Within all calix[4]arenes tested a net steady-state voltage-dependent transmembrane current was readily achieved only after addition of calix[4]-arene C-1193. In comparison with the membrane action of C-99 the current induced by calix[4]-arene C-1193 exhibited a much weakened anion selectivity passing slightly more current at positive potentials applied from the side of bilayer membrane to which the calix[4]-arene was added. Testing C-1193 for the membrane action against smooth muscle cells of rat uterus or swine myometrium and synaptosomes of rat brain nerve terminals revealed an increase in intracellular concentration of Ca2+ with reduction of the effective hydrodynamic diameter of the smooth muscle cells and enhanced basal extracellular level of neurotransmitters (glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid) after C-1193-induced depolarization of the nerve terminals.

Abstract
Calixarenes are displaying great potential for the development of new drug delivery systems, diagnostic imaging, biosensing devices and inhibitors of biological processes. In particular, calixarene derivatives are able to interact with many different enzymes and function as inhibitors. By screening of the potential drug target database (PDTD) with a reverse docking procedure, we identify and discuss a selection of 100 proteins that interact strongly with calix[4]arene. We also discover that leucine (23.5 %), isoleucine (11.3 %), phenylalanines (11.3 %) and valine (9.5 %) are the most frequent binding residues followed by hydrophobic cysteines and methionines and aromatic histidines, tyrosines and tryptophanes. Top binders are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors that already are targeted by commercial drugs, demonstrating the practical interest in calix[4]arene. Nuclear receptors, potassium channel, several carrier proteins, a variety of cancer-related proteins and viral proteins are prominent in the list. It is concluded that calix[4]arene, which is characterized by facile access, well-defined conformational characteristics, and ease of functionalization at both the lower and higher rims, could be a potential lead compound for the development of enzyme inhibitors and theranostic platforms.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential in normal biological processes, but they can become disrupted or imbalanced in cancer. Various technological advancements have led to an increase in the number of PPI inhibitors, which target hubs in cancer cell's protein networks. However, it remains difficult to develop PPI inhibitors with desired potency and specificity. Supramolecular chemistry has only lately become recognized as a promising method to modify protein activities. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the use of supramolecular modification approaches in cancer therapy. We make special note of efforts to apply supramolecular modifications, such as molecular tweezers, to targeting the nuclear export signal (NES), which can be used to attenuate signaling processes in carcinogenesis. Finally, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using supramolecular approaches to targeting PPIs.

Abstract
Calix[n]arenes' selective recognition of protein surfaces covers a broad range of timely applications, from controlling protein assembly and crystallization to trapping partially disordered proteins. Here, the interaction of para-sulfonated calix-[4]-arenes with cytochrome c is investigated through all-atom, explicit water molecular dynamics simulations which allow characterization of two binding sites in quantitative agreement with experimental evidence. Free energy calculations based on the MM-PBSA and the attach-pull-release (APR) methods highlight key residues implicated in the recognition process and provide binding free energy results in quantitative agreement with isothermal titration calorimetry. Our study emphasizes the role of MD simulations to capture and describe the "walk" of sulfonated calix-[4]-arenes on the cytochrome c surface, with the arginine R13 as a pivotal interacting residue. Our MD investigation allows, through the quasi-harmonic multibasin (QHMB) method, probing an allosteric reinforcement of several per-residue interactions upon calixarene binding, which suggests a more complex mode of action of these supramolecular auxiliaries.

Abstract
Shape-persistent macrocycles enable superior control on molecular self-assembly, allowing the preparation of well-defined nanostructures with new functions. Here, we report on anionic amphiphilic calixarenes of conic shape and their self-assembly behavior in aqueous media for application in intracellular delivery of peptides. Newly synthesized calixarenes bearing four phosphonate groups and two or four long alkyl chains were found to form micelles of ∼ 10 nm diameter, in contrast to an analogue with short alkyl chains. These amphiphilic calixarenes are able to complex model (oligo-lysine) and biologically relevant (HIV-1 nucleocapsid peptide) cationic peptides into small nanoparticles (20-40 nm). By contrast, a control anionic calixarene with short alkyl chains fails to form small nanoparticles with peptides, highlighting the importance of micellar assembly of amphiphilic calixarenes for peptide complexation. Cellular studies reveal that anionic amphiphilic calixarenes exhibit low cytotoxicity and enable internalization of fluorescently labelled peptides into live cells. These findings suggest anionic amphiphilic macrocycles as promising building blocks for the preparation of peptide delivery vehicles.

Abstract
In this study, the ability of salvianolic acids A, B, C, F, G and calix[[Formula: see text]]arenes ([Formula: see text], 5, 6 and 8) with different upper rims in the inhibition of insulin amyloid fibril formation was studied using molecular docking. The results were analyzed from a molecular point of view. All of the considering ligands interacted with significant residues of insulin, which had a crucial role in the process of insulin fibrillation. The interactions among the ligands and insulin residues could be done through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with good binding affinity. So, these ligands could prevent the formation of the insulin fibril. The good consistency of the docking results of [Formula: see text]-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and [Formula: see text]-sulfonatocalix[6]arene with the experimental results in the previous literature represented the capacity of the current theoretical method to supplement and interpret experimental findings. Also, in this study, salvianolic acids A, C, F and G were suggested as new inhibitors of the insulin amyloid fibril.

Abstract
P-sulfonatocalix[n]arenes have demonstrated a great potential for encapsulation of therapeutic drugs via host-guest complexation to improve solubility, stability, and bioavailability of encapsulated drugs. In this work, guest-host complexes of a third-generation anticancer drug (oxaliplatin) and p-4-sulfocalix[n]arenes (n = 4 and 6; p-SC4 and p-SC6, respectively) were prepared and investigated, using 1H NMR, UV, Job's plot analysis, and DFT calculations, for use as cancer therapeutics. The peak amplitude of the prepared host-guest complexes was linearly proportional to the concentration of oxaliplatin in the range of 1.0 × 10-5 M-1 to 2.1 × 10-4 M-1. The reaction stoichiometry between either p-SC4 or p-SC6 and oxaliplatin in the formed complexes was 1:1. The stability constants for the complexes were 5.07 × 104 M-1 and 6.3 × 104 M-1. These correspond to complexation free energy of -6.39 and -6.52 kcal/mol for p-SC4 and p-SC6, respectively. Complexation between oxaliplatin and p-SC4 or p-SC6 was found to involve hydrogen bonds. Both complexes exhibited enhanced biological and high cytotoxic activities against HT-29 colorectal cells and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma compared to free oxaliplatin, which warrants further investigation for cancer therapy.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of A27S and K120A Mutated PTP1B Reveals Selective Binding of the Bidentate Inhibitor. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:9852897. [PMID: 30729132 PMCID: PMC6341276 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9852897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2018] [Revised: 12/09/2018] [Accepted: 12/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is considered a potential target for the treatment of type II diabetes and obesity due to its critical negative role in the insulin signaling pathway. However, improving the selectivity of PTP1B inhibitors over the most closely related T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) remains a major challenge for inhibitor development. Lys120 at the active site and Ser27 at the second pTyr binding site are distinct in PTP1B and TCPTP, which may bring differences in binding affinity. To explore the determinant of selective binding of inhibitor, molecular dynamics simulations with binding free energy calculations were performed on K120A and A27S mutated PTP1B, and the internal changes induced by mutations were investigated. Results reveal that the presence of Lys120 induces a conformational change in the WPD-loop and YRD-motif and has a certain effect on the selective binding at the active site. Ser27 weakens the stability of the inhibitor at the second pTyr binding site by altering the orientation of the Arg24 and Arg254 side chains via hydrogen bonds. Further comparison of alanine scanning demonstrates that the reduction in the energy contribution of Arg254 caused by A27S mutation leads to a different inhibitory activity. These observations provide novel insights into the selective binding mechanism of PTP1B inhibitors to TCPTP.

Abstract
Calixarenes, composed of phenolic units linked by methylene bridges at the 2,6-positions, represent a versatile class of macrocyclic compounds in supramolecular chemistry that can host small molecules or ions in their well-defined hydrophobic cavities. In recent years, it has been recognized that this class of compounds has the potential to serve as platform for the design of biological active compounds. Therefore, the calixarenes functionalized with different pharmacophoric groups have been synthesized as target structure by many researchers and were further evaluated for their biological activities. Owing to their promising biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer, the functionalized calixarenes are recently receiving increased attention from pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry community. In this review, we summarize and discuss the synthetic approaches and the biological potential of functionalized calixarenes, mainly focusing on the selected recent studies for a comprehensive and target-oriented information, which could help in the design and synthesis of new therapeutic agents leading to the development of clinically viable drugs based on these macrocyles.

Abstract
Previously, phosphonic acid derivatives of calix[4]arene and thiacalix[4]arene were found to be potential inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. In the present paper, the inhibitory activity of unsubstituted sulfonyl-bridget calix[4]arene towards some of the therapeutically important protein tyrosine phosphatases has been established. The obtained results showed that the sulfonylcalix[4]arene is able to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase MEG2 with IC50 value in the micromolar range. At the same time, the inhibitor demonstrated lower activity in case of other protein tyrosine phosphatases such as PTP1B, MEG1, TC-PTP, SHP2, and PTPβ. The performed molecular docking indicated that the inhibitor binds to the active site region of MEG2 and PTP1B with WPD-loop in the open conformation.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has already been well studied as a highly validated therapeutic target for diabetes and obesity. However, the lack of selectivity limited further studies and clinical applications of PTP1B inhibitors, especially over T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP). In this review, we enumerate the published specific inhibitors of PTP1B, discuss the structure-activity relationships by analysis of their X-ray structures or docking results, and summarize the characteristic of selectivity related residues and groups. Furthermore, the design strategy of selective PTP1B inhibitors over TCPTP is also proposed. We hope our work could provide an effective way to gain specific PTP1B inhibitors.

Abstract
Research on the therapeutic applications of calixarene derivatives is an emerging area of interest. The anticancer activity of various functionalized calixarenes has been reported by several research groups. Due to their superior geometric shape, calixarenes can accommodate drug molecules by forming inclusion complexes. Controlled release of anticancer drugs by calixarenes might help in targeted chemotherapy. This review summarizes the anticancer potential of the calixarenes and their drug loading properties. The potential use of calixarenes in chemoradiotherapy is also highlighted in brief.
