Comprehensive insights into potential roles of purinergic P2 receptors on diseases: Signaling pathways involved and potential therapeutics. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00123-1. [PMID: 38565403 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.03.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Purinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide expression of purinergic P2 receptors in tissues and organs, their significance in homeostatic maintenance, metabolism, nociceptive transmission, and other physiological processes is becoming increasingly evident, suggesting that targeting purinergic P2 receptors to regulate biological functions and signal transmission holds significant promise for disease treatment. AIM OF REVIEW This review highlights the detailed mechanisms by which purinergic P2 receptors engage in physiological and pathological progress, as well as providing prospective strategies for discovering clinical drug candidates. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW The purinergic P2 receptors regulate complex signaling and molecular mechanisms in nervous system, digestive system, immune system and as a result, controlling physical health states and disease progression. There has been a significant rise in research and development focused on purinergic P2 receptors, contributing to an increased number of drug candidates in clinical trials. A few influential pioneers have laid the foundation for advancements in the evaluation, development, and of novel purinergic P2 receptors modulators, including agonists, antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions and combination strategies, despite the different scaffolds of these drug candidates. These advancements hold great potential for improving therapeutic outcomes by specifically targeting purinergic P2 receptors.

New Thiosemicarbazide Derivatives with Multidirectional Biological Action. Molecules 2024; 29:1529. [PMID: 38611813 PMCID: PMC11013662 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071529] [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: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Over the years, several new medicinal substances have been introduced for the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria and parasites. Unfortunately, due to the production of numerous defense mechanisms by microorganisms and parasites, they still pose a serious threat to humanity around the world. Therefore, laboratories all over the world are still working on finding new, effective methods of pharmacotherapy. This research work aimed to synthesize new compounds derived from 3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid hydrazide and to determine their biological activity. The first stage of the research was to obtain seven new compounds, including six linear compounds and one derivative of 1,2,4-triazole. The PASS software was used to estimate the potential probabilities of biological activity of the newly obtained derivatives. Next, studies were carried out to determine the nematocidal potential of the compounds with the use of nematodes of the genus Rhabditis sp. and antibacterial activity using the ACCT standard strains. To determine the lack of cytotoxicity, tests were performed on two cell lines. Additionally, an antioxidant activity test was performed due to the importance of scavenging free radicals in infections with pathogenic microorganisms. The conducted research proved the anthelmintic and antibacterial potential of the newly obtained compounds. The most effective were two compounds with a 3-chlorophenyl substituent, both linear and cyclic derivatives. They demonstrated higher efficacy than the drugs used in treatment.

Abstract
Endosomal trafficking is intricately linked to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) fate and signaling. Extracellular uridine diphosphate (UDP) acts as a signaling molecule by selectively activating the GPCR P2Y6. Despite the recent interest for this receptor in pathologies, such as gastrointestinal and neurological diseases, there is sparse information on the endosomal trafficking of P2Y6 receptors in response to its endogenous agonist UDP and synthetic selective agonist 5-iodo-UDP (MRS2693). Confocal microscopy and cell surface ELISA revealed delayed internalization kinetics in response to MRS2693 vs. UDP stimulation in AD293 and HCT116 cells expressing human P2Y6. Interestingly, UDP induced clathrin-dependent P2Y6 internalization, whereas receptor stimulation by MRS2693 endocytosis appeared to be associated with a caveolin-dependent mechanism. Internalized P2Y6 was associated with Rab4, 5, and 7 positive vesicles independent of the agonist. We have measured a higher frequency of receptor expression co-occurrence with Rab11-vesicles, the trans-Golgi network, and lysosomes in response to MRS2693. Interestingly, a higher agonist concentration reversed the delayed P2Y6 internalization and recycling kinetics in the presence of MRS2693 stimulation without changing its caveolin-dependent internalization. This work showed a ligand-dependent effect affecting the P2Y6 receptor internalization and endosomal trafficking. These findings could guide the development of bias ligands that could influence P2Y6 signaling.

Synthesis and pharmacological characterization of multiply substituted 2H-chromene derivatives as P2Y 6 receptor antagonists. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2022; 75:128981.

Abstract
P2Y6 receptor (P2Y6R) antagonists represent potential drugs for treating cancer, pain, neurodegeneration, asthma, diabetes, colitis and other disorders. However, there are few chemical classes of known competitive antagonists. We recently explored the structure activity relationship (SAR) of 2H-chromene derivatives as P2Y6R antagonists of moderate affinity. New analogues in this series modified at five positions were synthesized and shown to antagonize Ca2+ transients induced by the native agonist UDP in human (h) P2Y6R-expressing (but not turkey P2Y1R-, hP2Y2R- or hP2Y4R-expressing) astrocytoma cells. Alternatives to the reported 2-(trifluoromethyl)- and 3-nitro- substitutions of this scaffold were not identified. However, 6‑fluoro 11 and 6‑chloro 12 analogues displayed enhanced potency compared to other halogens, although still in the 1 - 2 µM range. Similar halogen substitution at 5, 7 or 8 positions reduced affinity. 5- or 8‑Triethylsilylethynyl extension maintained hP2Y6R affinity, with IC50 0.46 µM for 26 (MRS4853). The 6,8‑difluoro analogue 27 (IC50 2.99 µM) lacked off-target activities among 45 sites examined, unlike earlier analogues that bound to biogenic amine receptors. 11 displayed only one weak off-target activity (σ2). Mouse P2Y6R IC50s of 5, 25, 26 and 27 were 4.94, 17.6, 6.15 and 17.8 µM, respectively, but most other analogues had reduced affinity (>20 µM) compared to the hP2Y6R. These analogues are suitable for evaluation in in vivo inflammation and cancer models, which will be performed in the future studies.

Abstract
Substituted on the benzene ring 4-CF3-2H-chromenes have been prepared from substituted 2-(trifluoroacetyl)phenols and vinyltriphenylphosphonium chloride according to the Schweizer protocol in moderate to excellent yields. The influence of the type and the position of aromatic ring substituents on yields of 4-CF3-2H-chromenes have been investigated. It has been shown that 4-CF3-2H-chromenes are convenient precursors to 4-CF3-coumarins.

Abstract
An electrochemical dearomatizing spirocyclization of alkynes with dimethyl 2-benzylmalonates for the preparation of spiro[4.5]deca-trienones has been developed. This approach adopts ferrocene (Cp2Fe) as an electrocatalyst to produce carbon-centered radical intermediates from C-H-based malonates, which obviates the forthputting of noble-metal reagents, sacrificial chemical oxidants and 2-bromomalonates. A wide variety of spiro compounds are efficiently prepared with satisfactory results under mild conditions.

Adipocyte purinergic receptors activated by uracil nucleotides as obesity and type 2 diabetes targets. Curr Opin Pharmacol 2022; 63:102190.

Abstract
Extracellular uridine nucleotides regulate physiological and pathophysiological metabolic processes through the activation of P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6 and P2Y14 purinergic receptors, which play a key role in adipogenesis, glucose uptake, lipolysis and adipokine secretion. Using adipocyte-specific knockout mouse models, it has been demonstrated that lack of the P2Y6R or P2Y14R can protect against diet-induced obesity and improve whole-body glucose metabolism. The P2Y2R facilitated adipogenesis and inflammation, and the loss of P2Y4R or P2Y14R raised the levels of the protective endocrine factor adiponectin. Hence, potent antagonists for these receptors may be tested to identify drug candidates for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, future studies are required to provide insight into purinergic regulation of brown adipocytes and their role in thermogenesis. This review summarizes the current studies on uridine nucleotide-activated P2YRs and their role in adipocyte function, diet-induced obesity and associated metabolic deficits.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides activate a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as purinergic receptors, comprising adenosine and P2Y receptors. Furthermore, purinergic P2X ion channels are activated by ATP. These receptors are expressed in liver resident cells and play a critical role in maintaining liver function. In the normal physiology, these receptors regulate hepatic metabolic processes such as insulin responsiveness, glycogen and lipid metabolism, and bile secretion. In disease states, ATP and other nucleotides serve as danger signals and modulate purinergic responses in the cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that purinergic receptors play a significant role in the development of metabolic syndrome associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver inflammation. In this concise review, we dissect the role of purinergic signaling in different liver resident cells involved in maintaining healthy liver function and in the development of the above-mentioned liver pathologies. Moreover, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies for liver diseases by targeting adenosine, P2Y and P2X receptors.
