Abstract
The use of natural products has been shown to be a fruitful approach in the discovery of novel pharmaceuticals. In fact, many currently approved drugs originated from compounds that were first identified in nature. Chemical diversity of natural compounds cannot be matched by man-made libraries of chemically synthesized molecules. Many natural compounds interact with and modulate regulatory protein targets and can be considered evolutionarily-optimized drug-like molecules. Despite this, many pharmaceutical companies have reduced or eliminated their natural product discovery programs in the last two decades. Screening natural products for pharmacologically active compounds is a challenging task that requires high resource commitment. Novel approaches at the early stage of the drug discovery pipeline are needed to allow for rapid screening and identification of the most promising molecules. Here, we review the possible evolutionary roots for drug-like characteristics of numerous natural compounds. Since many of these compounds target evolutionarily conserved cellular signaling pathways, we propose novel, early-stage drug discovery approaches to identify drug candidates that can be used for the potential prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Invertebrate in vivo animal models of neurodegenerative diseases and innovative tools used within these models are proposed here as a screening funnel to identify new drug candidates and to shuttle these hits into further stages of the drug discovery pipeline.

Abstract
The lack of suitable tools for the identification of potential drug leads from complex matrices is a bottleneck in drug discovery. Here, we report a novel method to screen complex matrices for new drug leads targeting transmembrane receptors. Using α3β4 nicotinic receptors as a model system, we successfully demonstrated the ability of this new tool for the specific identification and effective extraction of binding compounds from complex mixtures. The formation of cell-membrane coated nanoparticles was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. In particular, we have developed a direct tool to evaluate the presence of functional α3β4 nicotinic receptors on the cell membrane. The specific ligand binding to α3β4 nicotinic receptors was examined through ligand fishing experiments and confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This tool has a great potential to transform the drug discovery process focusing on identification of compounds targeting transmembrane proteins, as more than 50% of all modern pharmaceuticals use membrane proteins as prime targets.

Abstract
Detailed studies comparing solid-supported l- or d-amino acid adhesion peptides based on the sequence KLHRIRA were performed. Stability towards proteases and levels of cellular adhesion to the otherwise inert surface of PEGA resin were compared by using fluorescently labelled peptides. A clear difference in the peptide stability towards cleavage by subtilisin, trypsin, or papain was observed. However, all of the on-bead peptides provided an optimal surface for cell adhesion and proliferation. In long-term experiments, these properties were still found to be similar on the resins modified either with l- or with d-amino acids and unaffected by the nature of their fluorescence labelling at either terminus. These results support that the more accessible l-amino acids can be utilized for cell adhesion experiments and confirm the nonspecific interaction mechanism of cell binding to these peptides on the bead surface.

Abstract
Cellular membrane affinity chromatography stationary phases have been extensively used to characterize immobilized proteins and provide a direct measurement of multiple binding sites, including orthosteric and allosteric sites. This review will address the utilization of immobilized cellular and tissue fragments to characterize multiple transmembrane proteins co-immobilized onto a stationary phase. This approach will be illustrated by demonstrating that multiple transmembrane proteins were immobilized from cell lines and tissue fragments. In addition, the immobilization of individual compartments/organelles within a cell will be discussed and the changes in the proteins binding/kinetics based on their location.

Abstract
![]()
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC)
derived from pathological tissues
is ideal for screening specific components acting on specific diseases
from complex medicines owing to the maximum simulation of in vivo drug-receptor interactions. However, there are no
pathological tissue-derived CMC models that have ever been developed,
as well as no visualized affinity comparison of potential active components
between normal and pathological CMC columns. In this study, a novel
comparative normal/failing rat myocardium CMC analysis system based
on online column selection and comprehensive two-dimensional (2D)
chromatography/monolithic column/time-of-flight mass spectrometry
was developed for parallel comparison of the chromatographic behaviors
on both normal and pathological CMC columns, as well as rapid screening
of the specific therapeutic agents that counteract doxorubicin (DOX)-induced
heart failure from Acontium carmichaeli (Fuzi). In
total, 16 potential active alkaloid components with similar structures
in Fuzi were retained on both normal and failing myocardium CMC models.
Most of them had obvious decreases of affinities on failing myocardium
CMC compared with normal CMC model except for four components, talatizamine
(TALA), 14-acetyl-TALA, hetisine, and 14-benzoylneoline. One compound
TALA with the highest affinity was isolated for further in
vitro pharmacodynamic validation and target identification
to validate the screen results. Voltage-dependent K+ channel
was confirmed as a binding target of TALA and 14-acetyl-TALA with
high affinities. The online high throughput comparative CMC analysis
method is suitable for screening specific active components from herbal
medicines by increasing the specificity of screened results and can
also be applied to other biological chromatography models.

Abstract
The metabolites found in the urine, feces and bile of male and female rats administered with (14)C-labeled herbicide, propyrisulfuron [1-(2-chloro-6-propylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-ylsulfonyl)-3- (4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)urea] were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the ultraviolet (UV) and radioisotope (RI) detectors, tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Administered (14)C was excreted into the urine (5.7-29.8%) and feces (64.6-97.4%). Urine and bile samples were concentrated and purified using a solid-phase extraction cartridge, and fecal homogenates were extracted using acetonitrile. Conjugates were hydrolyzed with enzyme or hydrochloric acid solution for identification. The proposed major metabolic reactions of propyrisulfuron are as follows: (1) hydroxylation of the pyrimidine ring, propyl group, and imidazopyridazine ring, (2) O-demethylation, (3) cleavage of the pyrimidine ring, and (4) glucuronic acid and sulfate conjugation. The metabolic patterns found are not different among sulfonylurea herbicides.

Abstract
CMAC (cellular membrane affinity chromatography columns) have been developed for the study of the human multidrug transporters MRP1, MRP2 and the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). The columns were constructed using the immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) stationary phase and cellular membrane fragments obtained from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells that had been stably transfected with human Mrp1, Mrp2 or Bcrp cDNA, using a baculovirus expression system. The resulting CMAC(Sf9(MRP1)), CMAC(Sf9(MRP2)) and CMAC(Sf9(BCRP)) columns and a control column produced using membrane fragments from non-transfected Sf9 cells, CMAC(Sf9), were characterized using frontal affinity chromatography using [(3)H]-etoposide as the marker ligand and etoposide, benzbromarone and MK571 as the displacers on the CMAC(Sf9(MRP1)) column, etoposide and furosemide on the CMAC(Sf9(MRP2)) column and etoposide and fumitremorgin C on the CMAC(Sf9(BCPR)) column. The binding affinities (K(i) values) obtained from the chromatographic studies were consistent with the data obtained using non-chromatographic techniques and the results indicate that the immobilized MRP1, MRP2 and BCRP transporters retained their ability to selectively bind known ligands. (S)-verapamil displaced [(3)H]-etoposide on the CMAC(Sf9(MRP1)) column to a greater extent than (R)-verapamil and the relative IC(50) values of the enantiomers were calculated using the changes in the retention times of the marker. The observed enantioselectivity and calculated IC(50) values were consistent with previously reported data. The results indicated that the CMAC(Sf9(MRP1)), CMAC(Sf9(MRP2)) and CMAC(Sf9(BCRP)) columns can be used for the study of binding to the MRP1, MRP2 and BCRP transporters and that membranes from the Sf9 cell line can be used to prepare CMAC columns. This is the first example of the use of membranes from a non-mammalian cell line in an affinity chromatographic system.
