Abstract
Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins play an important role in epigenetic regulation and are linked to several diseases; therefore, they are interesting targets. BET has two bromodomains: bromodomain 1 (BD1) and BD2. Selective targeting of BD1 or BD2 may produce different activities and greater effects than pan-BD inhibitors. However, the selective mechanism of the specific core must be studied at the atomic level. This study determined the effectiveness of pyrrolopyridone analogues to selectively inhibit BD2 using a pan-BD inhibitor (ABBV-075) and a selective-BD2 inhibitor (ABBV-744). Molecular dynamics simulations and calculations of binding free energies were used to systematically study the selectivity of BD2 inhibition by the pyrrolopyridone analogues. Overall, the pyrrolopyridone analogue inhibitors targeting BD2 interacted mainly with the following amino acid pairs between bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4)-BD1 and BRD4-BD2 complexes: I146/V439, N140/N433, D144/H437, P82/P375, V87/V380, D88/D381, and Y139/Y432. The pyrrolopyridone analogues targeting BRD4-BD2 were divided into five regions based on selectivity mechanism. These results suggest that the R3 and R5 regions of pyrrolopyridone analogues can be modified to improve the selectivity between BRD4-BD1 and BRD4-BD2. The selectivity of BD2 inhibition by pyrrolopyridone analogues can be used to design novel BD2 inhibitors based on a pyrrolopyridone core.

Abstract
The use of nanodiamonds as anticancer drug delivery vehicles has received much attention in recent years. In this theoretical paper, we propose using different esterification methods for nanodiamonds. The monomers proposed are 2-hydroxypropanal, polyethylene glycol, and polyglicolic acid. Specifically, the hydrogen bonds, infrared (IR) spectra, molecular polar surface area, and reactivity parameters are analyzed. The monomers proposed for use in esterification follow Lipinski's rule of five, meaning permeability is good, they have good permeation, and their bioactivity is high. The results show that the complex formed between tamoxifen and nanodiamond esterified with polyglicolic acid presents the greatest number of hydrogen bonds and a good amount of molecular polar surface area. Calculations concerning the esterified nanodiamond and reactivity parameters were performed using Density Functional Theory with the M06 functional and the basis set 6-31G (d); for the esterified nanodiamond-Tamoxifen complexes, the semi-empirical method PM6 was used. The solvent effect has been taken into account by using implicit modelling and the conductor-like polarizable continuum model.
