In silico selectivity modeling of pyridine and pyrimidine based CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 inhibitors: A case study. J Mol Graph Model 2022; 116:108238. [PMID: 35691091 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2022.108238] [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: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
DESIGN of selective drug candidates for highly structural similar targets is a challenging task for researchers. The main objective of this study was to explore the selectivity modeling of pyridine and pyrimidine scaffold towards the highly homologous targets CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 enzymes by in silico (Molecular docking and QSAR) approaches. In this regard, a big dataset (n = 228) of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 inhibitors were gathered and classified based on heterocyclic ring and the exhaustive analysis was carried out for pyridine and pyrimidinescaffolds. The LibDock algorithm was used to explore the binding pattern, screening, and identify the structural feature responsible for the selectivity of the ligands towards the studied targets. Finally, QSAR analysis was done to explore the correlation between various binding parameters and structural features responsible for the inhibitory activity and selectivity of the ligands in a quantitative way. The docking and QSAR analysis clearly revealed and distinguished the importance of structural features, functional groups attached for CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 selectivity for pyridine and pyrimidine analogs. Additionally, the docking analysis highlighted the differentiating amino acids residues for selectivity for ligands for each of the enzymes. The results obtained from this research work will be helpful in designing the selective CYP11B1/CYP11B2 inhibitors.

Abstract
The coumarin core (i.e., 1-benzopyran-2 (2H)-one) is a structural motif highly recurrent in both natural products and bioactive molecules. Indeed, depending on the substituents and branching positions around the byciclic core, coumarin-containing compounds have shown diverse pharmacological activities, ranging from anticoagulant activities to anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-HIV and antitumor effects. In this survey, we have reported the main scientific results of the 20-years investigation on the coumarin core, exploited by the research group headed by Prof. Angelo Carotti (Bari, Italy) either as a scaffold or a pharmacophore moiety in designing novel biologically active small molecules.

Abstract
Coumarin is a naturally available molecule and has been identified as a potent pharmacophore due to its pharmacological activity. Because of this, coumarin has been exploited synthetically to prepare a wide range of derivatives. In fact, most coumarin derivatives have been found to be less toxic, which is the most essential property for a drug molecule. Such molecules are being prepared for therapeutic use as broad-spectrum pharmacological agents. Microbial diseases including viral diseases have become very common and are responsible for many deaths worldwide. In particular, microbial drug resistance is a problem that needs to be tackled in an effective manner. Also, for Alzheimer's disease, which affects most elderly persons, no efficient chemotherapy exists. In addition, although diabetes, a metabolic syndrome, can be treated with many drugs, there is no complete cure. Thus, more potent antidiabetic agents are required for the management of diabetes. Likewise, for the treatment of a wide range of ailments caused by microbes, genetic factors, or lifestyle-related factors, an efficient drug regimen is needed. In view of this, coumarin derivatives are designed and evaluated. Here, coumarin derivatives that have been reported recently are compiled, classified and evaluated critically. This study briefly takes the structure-activity relationship into consideration and suggests the next suitable step. With a focus on the most potent molecules, the pharmacological activity of the evaluated molecules is described.

Abstract
Breast cancer, emerging malignancy is common among women due to overexpression of estrogen. Estrogens are biosynthesized from androgens by aromatase, a cytochrome P450 enzyme complex, and play a pivotal role in stimulating cell proliferation. Therefore, deprivation of estrogen by blocking aromatase is considered as the effective way for the inhibition and treatment of breast cancer. In recent years, various non-steroidal heterocyclic functionalities have been extensively developed and studied for their aromatase inhibition activity. This review provides information about the structural-activity relationship of heterocycles (Type II) towards aromatase. This aids the medicinal chemist around the significance of different heterocyclic moieties and helps to design potent aromatase inhibitors.

Abstract
A newly designed organoselenium compound, methyl substituted umbelliferone selenocyanate (MUS), was synthesized as a primary hit against the myelotoxic activity of carboplatin. MUS was administered at 6 mg/kg b.wt, p.o. in concomitant and pretreatment schedules with carboplatin (12 mg/kg b.wt, i.p. for 10 days) in female Swiss albino mouse. MUS treatment reduced (P < 0.001) the percentage of chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei formation, DNA damage and apoptosis in murine bone marrow cells and also enhanced (P < 0.001) the bone marrow cell proliferation of the carboplatin-treated mice. These activities cumulatively restored the viable bone marrow cell count towards normalcy. Myeloprotection by MUS was achieved, in part, due to a significant reduction in the ROS/RNS formation and restoration of glutathione redox pool. Additionally, MUS synergistically enhanced the cytotoxicity of carboplatin against two human cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and Colo-205). Furthermore, MUS can effectively potentiate the antitumour activity of carboplatin against two murine cancers (Dalton's Lymphoma and Sarcoma-180) in vivo. These preclinical findings clearly indicate that MUS can improve the therapeutic index of carboplatin and ensures more effective therapeutic strategy against cancer for clinical development.

Abstract
Enolonium species, resulting from the umpolung of ketone enolates by Koser's hypervalent iodine reagents activated by boron trifluoride, react with a variety of nitrogen heterocycles to form α-aminated ketones. The reactions are mild and complete in 4-5 h. Additionally, α-azidation of the enolonium species takes place using trimethylsilyl azide as a convenient source of azide nucleophile.

Abstract
Many naturally occurring substances, traditionally used in popular medicines around the world, contain the coumarin moiety. Coumarin represents a privileged scaffold for medicinal chemists, because of its peculiar physicochemical features, and the versatile and easy synthetic transformation into a large variety of functionalized coumarins. As a consequence, a huge number of coumarin derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and tested to address many pharmacological targets in a selective way, e.g., selective enzyme inhibitors, and more recently, a number of selected targets (multitarget ligands) involved in multifactorial diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In this review an overview of the most recent synthetic pathways leading to mono- and polyfunctionalized coumarins will be presented, along with the main biological pathways of their biosynthesis and metabolic transformations. The many existing and recent reviews in the field prompted us to make some drastic selections, and therefore, the review is focused on monoamine oxidase, cholinesterase, and aromatase inhibitors, and on multitarget coumarins acting on selected targets of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
A series of novel fused coumarin analogues pyrano[3,2-c]chromene-2,5-diones have been synthesized through an optimized microwave-assisted protocol. All target compounds were tested and evaluated for their antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum copsica, Alternaria solani, Gibberella zeae and Rhizoctorzia solani. The bioassay results indicated that some of the compounds exhibited potent antifungal activities at concentration less than 50 ppm. For the compounds 5d, 6c and 7b, EC50 values against B. cinerea were as low as 0.141, 0.082 and 0.091 μM, respectively, which represents better antifungal activity than that of the commonly used fungicide Azoxystrobin. Compounds 5d (57%) and 6c (55%) also exhibited more effective control than Azoxystrobin (44%) against Colletotrichum capsica.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review highlights recent investigations in the prior 18 months focusing on the role of dysregulated cortisol physiology in obesity as a potential modifiable mechanism in the pathogenesis of obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Given the clinical resemblance of obesity-related metabolic disorders with the Cushing's syndrome, new studies have investigated the intracellular regulation and metabolism of cortisol, new measurements of cortisol in scalp hair as a tool for long-term exposure to cortisol, and the cortisol-mineralocorticoid receptor pathway. Thus, current and future pharmacological interventions in obesity may include specific inhibition of steroidogenic and regulatory enzymes as well as antagonists of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors. SUMMARY The understanding of how adrenal function is challenged by the interplay of our genetic and environmental milieu has highlighted the importance of inappropriate cortisol regulation in cardiometabolic disorders. Increased adipose tissue in obesity is associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis overactivation, increased cortisol production at the local tissue level, and probably higher mineralocorticoid receptor activation in certain tissues.
