Abstract
The monkeypox virus was still spreading in May 2022, with the first case identified in a person with travel ties to Nigeria. Using molecular docking-based techniques, we evaluated the efficiency of different bioactive chemicals obtained from plants against the monkeypox virus. A total of 56 plant compounds were evaluated for antimonekypox capabilities, with the top four candidates having a higher binding affinity than the control. We targeted the monkeypox profilin-like protein, which plays a key role in viral replication and assembly. Among the metabolites, curcumin showed the strongest binding affinity with a value of -37.43 kcal/mol, followed by gedunin (-34.89 kcal/mol), piperine (-34.58 kcal/mol), and coumadin (-34.14 kcal/mol). Based on ADME and toxicity assessments, the top four substances had no negative impacts. Furthermore, four compounds demonstrated resistance to deformability, which was corroborated by normal mode analysis. According to the bioactivity prediction study, the top compound target class was an enzyme, membrane receptor, and oxidoreductase. Furthermore, the study discovered that wortmannin, a gedunin analogue, can behave as an orthopoxvirus. The study found that these bioactive natural drug candidates could potentially work as monkeypox virus inhibitors. We recommended further experimental validation to confirm the promising findings of the study.

Tenofovir antiviral drug solubility enhancement with β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex and in silico study of potential inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M pro). J Mol Liq 2023; 377:121544. [PMID: 36874474 PMCID: PMC9968670 DOI: 10.1016/j.molliq.2023.121544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
Tenofovir (TFR) is an antiviral drug commonly used to fight against viral diseases infection due to its good potency and high genetic barrier to drug resistance. In physiological conditions, TFR is less water soluble, more unstable, and less permeable, limiting its effective therapeutic applications. In addition to their use in treating the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), cyclodextrins (CDs) are also being used as a molecule to develop therapies for other diseases due to its enhance solubility and stability. This study is designed to synthesize and characterization of β-CD:TFR inclusion complex and its interaction against SARS-CoV-2 (MPro) protein (PDB ID;7cam). Several techniques were used to characterize the prepared β-CD:TFR inclusion complex, including UV-Visible, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TGA, and DSC, which provided appropriate evidence to confirm the formation. A 1:1 stoichiometry was determined for β-CD:TFR inclusion complex in aqueous medium from UV-Visible absorption spectra by using the Benesi-Hildebrand method. Phase solubility studies proposed that β-CD enhanced the excellent solubility of TFR and the stability constant was obtained at 863 ± 32 M-1. Moreover, the molecular docking confirmed the experimental results demonstrated the most desirable mode of TFR encapsulated into the β-CD nanocavity via hydrophobic interactions and possible hydrogen bonds. Moreover, TFR was validated in the β-CD:TFR inclusion complex as potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) receptors by using in silico methods. The enhanced solubility, stability, and antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 (MPro) suggest that β-CD:TFR inclusion complexes can be further used as feasible water-insoluble antiviral drug carriers in viral disease infection.

Computational and experimental therapeutic efficacy analysis of andrographolide phospholipid complex self-assembled nanoparticles against Neuro2a cells. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2023; 1867:130283. [PMID: 36414179 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2022.130283] [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: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is one of the most common malignancies in childhood, accounts for approximately 7% of all malignancies. Andrographolide (AN) inhibits cancer cells progression via multiple pathways like cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial apoptosis, NF-κβ inhibition, and antiangiogenesis mechanism. Despite multiple advantages, application of AN is very limited due to its low aqueous solubility (6.39 ± 0.47 μg/mL), high lipophilicity (log P ∼ 2.632 ± 0.135), and reduced stability owing to pH sensitive lactone ring. OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS In present investigation, a molecular complex of AN with soya-L-α-phosphatidyl choline (SPC) was synthesized as ANSPC and characterized by FT-IR and1H NMR spectroscopy. Spectral and molecular simulation techniques confirmed the intermolecular interactions between the 14-OH group of AN and the N+(CH3)3part of SPC. In addition, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to determine the degree of interaction between various proteins such as TNF-α, caspase-3, and Bcl-2. Later, ANSPC complex was transformed in to self-assembled soft nanoparticles of size 201.8 ± 1.48 nm with PDI of 0.092 ± 0.004 and zeta potential of -21.7 ± 0.85 mV. The IC50 offree AN (8.319 μg/mL) and the self-assembled soft ANSPC nanoparticles (3.406 μg/mL ∼ 1.2 μg of AN) against Neuro2a cells was estimated with significant (P < 0.05) difference. Interestingly, the self-assembled soft ANSPC nanoparticles showed better endocytosis compared to free AN in Neuro2a cells. In-vitrobiological assays confirmed that self-assembled soft ANSPC nanoparticles induces apoptosis in Neuro2a cells by declining the MMP (Δψm) and increasing the ROS generation. CONCLUSION Self-assembled soft ANSPC nanoparticles warrant further in-depth antitumor study in xenograft model of neuroblastoma to establish the anticancer potential.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2023; 24:46.

Abstract
The utility of andrographolide (AN) in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is limited owing to poor solubility, hindered permeation, and unstable structure under physiological conditions. The present study mainly focuses on synthesizing of andrographolide-Soya-L-α-phosphatidyl choline (ANSPC) complex in ethanol and its characterization using various spectral and analytical techniques. Results from FT-IR, 1H NMR, ROSEY, and in silico docking techniques suggest ANSPC complex formation due to inter-molecular interaction between the hydrophilic head of SPC and hydroxyl group of AN present at 24th position. ANSPC complex demonstrated the solubility of 113.93 ± 6.66 μg/mL significantly (P < 0.05) greater than 6.39 ± 0.47 μg/mL of AN. The particle size of ANSPC complex was found to be 182.2 ± 2.69 nm. The IC50 value of AN suspension (PBS, pH ~ 7.4) at 24, 48, and 72 h against Leishmania donovani (L. donovani) was noticed to be 32.76 ± 4.53, 20.87 ± 2.37, and 17.71 ± 3.06 μM/mL, respectively. Moreover, augmented aqueous solubility of ANSPC complex led to significant (P < 0.05) reduction in IC50 value, i.e., 25.02 ± 4.35, 11.31 ± 0.60, and 8.33 ± 2.71 μM/mL at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. The IC50 values for miltefosine were noted to be 9.84 ± 2.65, 12.13 ± 7.26, and 6.56 ± 0.61 μM/mL at similar time periods. Moreover, ANSPC complex demonstrated augmented cellular uptake at 24 h as compared to 6 h in L. donovani. We suppose that submicron size and phospholipid-mediated complexation might have endorsed the permeation of ANSPC complex across the plasma membrane of L. donovani parasite by transport mechanisms such as P-type ATPase. ANSPC complex warrants further in-depth in vivo studies under a set of stringent parameters for translating the product into a clinically viable form.

[PMID: 35386290 PMCID: PMC8979680 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6224107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Acute and subacute toxicity analysis of AND-2-HyP-β-CYD complex was conducted in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats following oral and inhalation routes of administration. Methods and Results Single dose acute toxicity was carried out at 2000 mg/kg of AND-2-HyP-β-CYD complex, while the doses of 200, 400, and 666 mg/kg were administered, over a period of 28 days under repeated dose oral toxicity study. Hence, LD50 (lethal dose) was found to be >2000 mg/kg in addition to NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of 666 mg/kg. Correspondingly, single dose acute inhalation toxicity of AND-2-HyP-β-CYD complex was carried out at 5 mg/L/4 h/day and subacute inhalation toxicity at 0.5, 1, and 1.66 mg/L/4 h/day over a period of 28 days. The NOAEL and LOAEL (lowest observed adverse effect level) were estimated to be 0.5 mg/L/4 h/day and 1 mg/L/4 h/day, respectively. Conclusion The findings of the present study would further be useful in assessing and utilizing the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of AND-2-HyP-β-CYD complex.
