Yu SC, Kim IC, Ri KJ, Ri J, Kühn H. New insight into the role of glutathione reductase in glutathione peroxidase-like activity determination by coupled reductase assay: Molecular Docking Study. J Inorg Biochem 2020; 215:111276. [PMID: 33341590 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2020.111276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Previously we have shown that among 15 substituted salicyloyl (2-hydroxybenzoyl) 5-seleninic acids (SSAs) 4 compounds with longer side chains or a cyclohexyl group exhibit no glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity in the coupled reductase assay. Experimental inhibition of glutathione reductase (GR) by the selenenylsulfide (a main intermediate in the catalytic cycle for GPx-like activity determination) of one of the inactive compounds led us to assess the interactions between 15 selenenylsulfide compounds and the active site of GR by molecular docking. Docking results showed that S and Se atoms in selenenylsulfides of the compounds with no GPx-like activity were beyond 5 Å from S atom of Cys-58 or N atom of imidazole ring of His-467 (Root Mean Square Distances for general assessment of 3 major distances were over 4.8 Å) in the active site, so that they could not be catalyzed to be reduced by GR. Furthermore, their docking scores over 89 Kcal/mol meant that the selenenylsulfides were bound too strongly to the active site to leave it, leading eventually to inhibition of GR. We also applied the molecular docking to other GPx mimics such as ebselen, cyclic seleninate esters and di(propylaminomethylphenyl) diselenides to explain the differences in their GPx-like activity depending to the assays used. Our results suggest that the reduction of a selenenylsulfide by GR plays a positive role in GPx-like activity of GPx mimics in the coupled assay and recommended the prediction of possibility and strength of GPx-like activity by molecular docking before entering experimental research.

Abstract
Organodiselenides are an important class of compounds characterized by the
presence of two adjacent covalently bonded selenium nuclei. Among them,
diaryldiselenides and their parent compound diphenyl diselenide attract continuing interest
in chemistry as well as in close disciplines like medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and
biochemistry. A search in SCOPUS database has revealed that in the last three years 105
papers have been published on the archetypal diphenyl diselenide and its use in organic
catalysis and drug tests. The reactivity of the Se-Se bond and the redox properties of selenium
make diselenides efficient catalysts for numerous organic reactions, such as Bayer-
Villiger oxidations of aldehydes/ketones, epoxidations of alkenes, oxidations of alcohols
and nitrogen containing compounds. In addition, organodiselenides might find application
as mimics of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), a family of enzymes, which, besides performing other functions,
regulate the peroxide tone in the cells and control the oxidative stress level. In this review, the essential synthetic
and reactivity aspects of organoselenides are collected and rationalized using the results of accurate
computational studies, which have been carried out mainly in the last two decades. The results obtained in
silico provide a clear explanation of the anti-oxidant activity of organodiselenides and more in general of their
ability to reduce hydroperoxides. At the same time, they are useful to gain insight into some aspects of the enzymatic
activity of the GPx, inspiring novel elements for rational catalyst and drug design.

Abstract
The mechanism of action of the selenenamide 1 as a mimic of the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was investigated by the density functional theory. The solvent-assisted proton exchange procedure was applied to model the catalytic behavior and antioxidant activity of this mimic. To have an insight into the charge transfer effect, different aromatic thiols, including electron donating substituents on the phenyl ring were considered. The catalytic behavior of the selenenamide was modeled in a four-step mechanism, described by the oxidation of the mimic, the reduction of the obtained product, selenoxide, the reduction of the selenenylsulfide and dehydration of selenenic acid. On the basis of the activation parameters, the final step of the proposed mechanism is the rate determining states of the catalytic cycle. Turnover frequency (TOF) analysis showed that the electron donating groups at the para-position of the phenyl ring of the PhSH do not affect the catalytic activity of the selenenamide in contrast to p-methyl thiophenol which indicates the highest nucleophilicity. The evaluation of the electronic contribution of the various donating groups on the phenyl ring of the aromatic thiols shows that the antioxidant activity of the selenenamide sufficiently increases in the presence of the electron-donating substitutions. Finally, the charge transfer process at the rate-determining state was investigated based on the natural bond orbital analysis.

Abstract
Despite the usefulness of curly arrows in chemistry, their relationship with real electron density flows is still imprecise, and even their direct connection to quantum chemistry is still controversial. The paradigmatic description - from first principles - of the mechanistic aspects of a given chemical process is based mainly on the relative energies and geometrical changes at the stationary points of the potential energy surface along the reaction pathway; however, it is not sufficient to describe chemical systems in terms of bonding aspects. Probing the electron density distribution during a chemical reaction can provide important insights, enabling us to understand and control chemical reactions. This aim has required an extension of the relationships between the concepts of traditional chemistry and those of quantum mechanics. Bonding evolution theory (BET), which combines the topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) and Thom's catastrophe theory (CT), provides a powerful method that offers insight into the molecular mechanism of chemical rearrangements. In agreement with the laws of physical and aspects of quantum theory, BET can be considered an appropriate tool to tackle chemical reactivity with a wide range of possible applications. In this work, BET is applied to address a long-standing problem: the ability to monitor the flow of electron density. BET analysis shows a connection between quantum mechanics and bond making/forming processes. Likewise, the present approach retrieves the classical curly arrows used to describe the rearrangements of chemical bonds and provides detailed physical grounds for this type of representation. We demonstrate this procedure using the test set of prototypical examples of thermal ring apertures, and the degenerated Cope rearrangement of semibullvalene.

Abstract
Mesoionic compounds belonging to the 1,3-oxazol-5-one, 1,3-diazole-4-thione and 1,3-thiazole-5-thione rings have been evaluated by a combination of Density Functional Theory, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules, Electron Localization Function, Natural Bond Orbitals and Geodesic Electrostatic Potential Charge calculations. Atomic, bond, and ring properties have been considered to describe the electronic structure of mesoionic compounds. The results show that not only the ring type, but also the substituent groups have great influence on these properties. In addition, there is a significant and heterogeneous π-bonding contribution throughout the mesoionic rings. Finally, we conclude that some classical conceptions of charge localization and π-bonding contribution in these compounds are misleading or incomplete. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The first systematic theoretical study of the nature of intermolecular bonding of dimethylselenide as donor and IIIA group element halides as acceptors was made with the help of the approach of Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules. Density Functional Theory with "old" Sapporo triple-ζ basis sets was used to calculate geometry, thermodynamics, and wave function of Me2Se···AX3 complexes. The analysis of the electron density distribution and the Laplacian of the electron density allowed us to reveal and explain the tendencies in the influence of the central atom (A = B, Al, Ga, In) and halogen (X = F, Cl, Br, I) on the nature of Se···A bonding. Significant changes in properties of the selenium lone pair upon complexation were described by means of the analysis of the Laplacian of the charge density. Charge transfer characteristics and the contributions to it from electron localization and delocalization were analyzed in terms of localization and delocalization indexes. Common features of the complexation and differences in the nature of bonding were revealed. Performed analysis evidenced that gallium and indium halide complexes can be attributed to charge transfer-driven complexes; aluminum halides complexes seem to be mainly of an electrostatic nature. The nature of bonding in different boron halides essentially varies; these complexes are stabilized mainly by covalent Se···B interaction. In all the complexes under study covalence of the Se···A interaction is rather high.
