Abstract
Infectious disease (ID) is one of the top-most serious threats to human health globally, further aggravated by antimicrobial resistance and lack of novel immunization options. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wall. ex Nees and its metabolites have been long used to treat IDs. Andrographolide, derived from A. paniculata, can inhibit invasive microbes virulence factors and regulate the host immunity. Controlled clinical trials revealed that A. paniculata treatment is safe and efficacious for acute respiratory tract infections like common cold and sinusitis. Hence, A. paniculata, mainly andrographolide, could be considered as an excellent candidate for antimicrobial drug development. Considering the importance, medicinal values, and significant role as antimicrobial agents, this study critically evaluated the antimicrobial therapeutic potency of A. paniculata and its metabolites, focusing on the mechanism of action in inhibiting invasive microbes and biofilm formation. A critical evaluation of the secondary metabolites with the aim of identifying pure compounds that possess antimicrobial functions has further added significant values to this study. Notwithstanding that A. paniculata is a promising source of antimicrobial agents and safe treatment for IDs, further empirical research is warranted.

Andrographolide and Its 14-Aryloxy Analogues Inhibit Zika and Dengue Virus Infection. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25215037. [PMID: 33143016 PMCID: PMC7662321 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25215037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Andrographolide is a labdene diterpenoid with potential applications against a number of viruses, including the mosquito-transmitted dengue virus (DENV). In this study, we evaluated the anti-viral activity of three 14-aryloxy analogues (ZAD-1 to ZAD-3) of andrographolide against Zika virus (ZIKV) and DENV. Interestingly, one analogue, ZAD-1, showed better activity against both ZIKV and DENV than the parental andrographolide. A two-dimension (2D) proteomic analysis of human A549 cells treated with ZAD-1 compared to cells treated with andrographolide identified four differentially expressed proteins (heat shock 70 kDa protein 1 (HSPA1A), phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), transketolase (TKT) and GTP-binding nuclear protein Ran (Ran)). Western blot analysis confirmed that ZAD-1 treatment downregulated expression of HSPA1A and upregulated expression of PGK1 as compared to andrographolide treatment. These results suggest that 14-aryloxy analogues of andrographolide have the potential for further development as anti-DENV and anti-ZIKV agents.

Abstract
Covering: 1951 to 2020Andrographolide is one of the most widely studied plant secondary metabolites, known to display diverse pharmacological actions. Current literature has documented a sizeable list of pharmacological targets for andrographolide, suggesting its multi-targeting nature. Many of these targets are central to the pathophysiology of highly prevalent diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmunity, and even cancer. Despite its well-documented therapeutic efficacy in various disease models, for years, the discrepancies between in vivo bioavailability and bioactivity of andrographolide and the debate surrounding its multi-targeting properties (polypharmacology or promiscuity?) have hindered the development of this versatile molecule into a potential therapeutic agent. Is andrographolide a valuable lead for therapeutic development or a potential invalid metabolic panacea (IMP)? This perspective article aims to discuss this by considering various contributing factors to the polypharmacology of andrographolide.

Abstract
In this study we report, for the first time, the synthesis of the natural product calcaratarin D via a stereo- and regio-selective aldol condensation with (S)-β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone as key steps. A concise synthetic route (under 10 steps) to a series of structurally related normal-labdane diterpenes was also developed and their anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated in an in vitro model of inflammation. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) pertaining to the labdane scaffold were elucidated and results suggest that an α-alkylidene-β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone system is necessary for potent activity in the labdanes. Our studies identified the natural product calcaratarin D (1) as a promising anti-inflammatory agent, which effectively modulates the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, NO) at both transcriptional and translational levels. These inhibitory effects are likely to occur via the suppression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation by reducing the p65 nuclear translocation but not its phosphorylation or protein expression. Calcaratarin D exhibited significantly greater inhibition of NF-κB activation than andrographolide, a well-known NF-κB inhibitor from the labdane family, suggesting that a normal-configuration labdane ring or the absence of hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-19 positions is favorable for potent NF-κB inhibition. We further investigated the effects of calcaratarin D on the upstream signalling pathways and found that the compound selectively suppressed the LPS-induced activation of PI3K/Akt pathway without affecting much of the MAPK (i.e., ERK, JNK, and p38) activation. These findings demonstrate that calcaratarin D exerts its anti-inflammatory effects via a selective Akt-NF-κB-mediated mechanism and potentially offers a new therapeutic strategy for the management of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Investigating the change in expression level of mercapto biomolecules (GSH/Cys/Hcy) necessitates a rapid detection method for a series of physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we present a ligand-displacement-based two-photon fluorogenic probe based on an Fe(iii) complex, TPFeS, which is a GSH/Cys/Hcy rapid detection fluorogenic probe for in vitro analysis and live cell/tissue/in vivo imaging. The "in situ" probe is non-fluorescent and was prepared from a 1 : 2 ratio of Fe(iii) and TPS, a novel two-photon (TP) fluorophore with excellent one-photon (OP) and TP properties under physiological conditions, as a fluorescent ligand. This probe shows a rapid and remarkable fluorescence restoration (OFF-ON) property due to the ligand-displacement reaction of mercapto biomolecules in a recyclable manner in vitro. A significant two-photon action cross-section, good selectivity for biothiols, low cytotoxicity, and insensitivity to pH over the biologically relevant pH range allowed the direct visualization of mercapto biomolecules at different levels between normal/drug-treated live cells, as well as in Drosophila brain tissues/zebrafish based on the use of two-photon fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Andrographolide is a major bioactive constituent of Andrographis paniculata that has been shown in vitro to have antiviral activity against a number of viruses, including the mosquito transmitted dengue virus (DENV). However, how andrographolide exerts an anti-DENV effect remains unclear. This study therefore sought to further understand the mechanism of action of andrographolide in inhibiting DENV infection of liver cells using a proteomic based approach. Both 1 dimension (D) and 2D proteome systems were used. Initial data was generated through andrographolide treatment of HepG2 cells without DENV infection (1D analysis), while subsequent data was generated through a combination of andrographolide treatment and DENV infection (2D analysis). A total of 17 (1D) and 18 (2D) proteins were identified as differentially regulated. The analyses identified proteins involved in chaperone activities, as well as energy production. In particular evidence suggested an important role for GRP78 and the unfolded protein response in mediating the anti-DENV activity of andrographolide, which might, in part, explain the broad antiviral activity of andrographolide.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in the progression of human colorectal cancers (CRCs) and is one of the leading targets of chemotherapy agents developed for CRC. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects and molecular mechanisms of 19-O-triphenylmethyl andrographolide (RS-PP-050), an andrographolide analogue and determine its activity in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. RS-PP-050 was found to potently inhibit the proliferation and survival of HT-29 CRC cells. It induces cell cycle arrest and promotes apoptotic cell death which was associated with the activation of PARP-1 and p53. Furthermore, RS-PP-050 exerts inhibitory effects on β-catenin transcription by suppressing T-cell factor/lymphocyte enhancer factor (TCF/LEF) activity in cells overexpressing β-catenin and by down-regulating the endogenous expression of Wnt target genes. RS-PP-050 also decreased the protein expression of the active form of β-catenin but functions independently of GSK-3β, a negative regulator of Wnt. Interestingly, RS-PP-050 extensively blocks phosphorylation at Ser675 of β-catenin which links to interference of the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and might contribute to Wnt inactivation. Collectively, our findings reveal the underlying anti-cancer mechanism of an andrographolide analogue and provide useful insight for exploiting a newly chemotherapeutic agent in Wnt/β-catenin-overexpressing CRC cells.

Abstract
Herein, we present a simple readout of the binding between a chemical drug and its target proteins in the cytoplasm by using a two-step bioorthogonal labeling method combined with spatially-localized expression of proteins. Dasatinib was modified with trans-cyclooctene (TCO), and its cytoplasmic target kinases were expressed in intracellular compartments, such as endosomes and F-actins. After bioorthogonal labeling, the colocalization between Dasatinib and its target proteins was observed in intracellular compartments.

Abstract
A collection of sixteen semisynthetic 17-hydroxycativic acid esters with alcohols containing a tertiary amine group was evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, THP-1 and U937, and for their effects on the cell cycle and cell death. While 17-hydroxycativic acid itself is not cytotoxic, all the esters displayed cytotoxic activity, with 50% growth inhibition (GI50) values ranging between 3.2 and 23.1 µM. In general, the most potent compounds in both cell lines were esters with four carbon long alcohol residues. There was no clear relationship between the identity of the terminal secondary amine and the activity of the compound. Experiments using the 6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentyl ester, 2c, revealed that this compound activates caspases-3/7 and causes poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP-1) fragmentation in THP-1 and U937 cells, indicating the induction of apoptotic cell death. These results suggest that further investigation into the anticancer activity of diterpene derivatives and other labdane diterpenes may be fruitful.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play an important role in determining cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Although a variety of small-molecule FGFR inhibitors have been developed for cancer therapeutics, the interaction between FGFRs and FGFR inhibitors has not been well characterized. The FGFR–inhibitor interaction can be characterized using a new imaging probe that has strong, stable signal properties for in situ cellular imaging of the interaction without quenching. We developed a kinase–inhibitor-modified quantum dot (QD) probe to investigate the interaction between FGFR and potential inhibitors. Especially, turbo-green fluorescent protein-FGFR3s were overexpressed in HeLa cells to investigate the colocalization of FGFR3 and AZD4547 using the QD-AZD4547 probe. The result indicates that this probe is useful for investigating the binding behaviors of FGFR3 with the FGFR inhibitor. Thus, this new inhibitor-modified QD probe is a promising tool for understanding the interaction between FGFR and inhibitors and for creating future high-content, cell-based drug screening strategies.

Abstract
This review focuses on chemical probes to identify the protein binding partners of natural products in living systems.
Covering: 2010 up to 2016 Deconvoluting the mode of action of natural products and drugs remains one of the biggest challenges in chemistry and biology today. Chemical proteomics is a growing area of chemical biology that seeks to design small molecule probes to understand protein function. In the context of natural products, chemical proteomics can be used to identify the protein binding partners or targets of small molecules in live cells. Here, we highlight recent examples of chemical probes based on natural products and their application for target identification. The review focuses on probes that can be covalently linked to their target proteins (either via intrinsic chemical reactivity or via the introduction of photocrosslinkers), and can be applied “in situ” – in living systems rather than cell lysates. We also focus here on strategies that employ a click reaction, the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), to allow minimal functionalisation of natural product scaffolds with an alkyne or azide tag. We also discuss ‘competitive mode’ approaches that screen for natural products that compete with a well-characterised chemical probe for binding to a particular set of protein targets. Fuelled by advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation and bioinformatics, many modern strategies are now embracing quantitative proteomics to help define the true interacting partners of probes, and we highlight the opportunities this rapidly evolving technology provides in chemical proteomics. Finally, some of the limitations and challenges of chemical proteomics approaches are discussed.

Abstract
Andrographolide (ANDRO) is a lactone diterpenoid compound present in the medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata which is clinically applied for multiple human diseases in Asia and Europe. The pharmacological activities of andrographolide have been widely demonstrated, including anti-inflammation, anti-cancer and hepatoprotection. However, the pharmacological mechanism of andrographolide remains unclear. Therefore, further characterization on the kinetics and molecular targets of andrographolide is essential. In this study, we described the synthesis and characterization of a novel fluorescent andrographolide derivative (ANDRO-NBD). ANDRO-NBD exhibited a comparable anti-cancer spectrum to andrographolide: ANDRO-NBD was cytotoxic to various types of cancer cells and suppressed the migration activity of melanoma cells; ANDRO-NBD treatment induced the cleavage of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and the downregulation of its client oncoproteins, v-Src and Bcr-abl. Notably, ANDRO-NBD showed superior inhibitory effects to andrographolide in all anticancer assays we have performed. In addition, ANDRO-NBD was further used as a fluorescent probe to investigate the uptake kinetics, cellular distribution and molecular targets of andrographolide. Our data revealed that ANDRO-NBD entered cells rapidly and its fluorescent signal could be detected in nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and lysosome. Moreover, we demonstrated that ANDRO-NBD was covalently bound to several putative target proteins of andrographolide, including NF-κB and hnRNPK. In summary, we developed a fluorescent andrographolide probe with comparable bioactivity to andrographolide, which serves as a powerful tool to explore the pharmacological mechanism of andrographolide.

Abstract
Biological selection makes natural products promising scaffolds for drug development and the ever growing number of newly identified, structurally diverse molecules helps to fill the gaps in chemical space. Elucidating the function of a small molecule, such as identifying its protein binding partners, its on- and off-targets, is becoming increasingly important. Activity- and affinity-based protein profiling are modern strategies to acquire such molecular-level information. Introduction of a molecular handle (azide, alkyne, biotin) can shed light on the mode of action of small molecules. This Concept article covers central points on synthetic methodology for integrating a terminal alkyne into a molecule of interest.
