[PMID: 39309954 PMCID: PMC11414562 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 09/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate Solanum lyratum Thunb. with respect to the potential ingredients with anti-inflammatory activity from its essential oil by silico study. To this regard, the essential oil of Solanum lyratum Thunb. was extracted by hydrodistillation. 25 compounds were identified by GC-MS. Using virtual screening, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation of the 25 identified compounds, the ones showing anti-inflammatory activity on COX-2 were identified. According to the drug-like principle and the prediction of ADEMT properties, the six compounds of Spathulenol, Cedrol, Juniper camphor, Santalol, Nootkatone and 7,9-Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro[4.5]deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione were identified and then studied for molecular docking, and based on which the top two compounds of binding free energy were studied by the molecular dynamics simulation. The molecular docking data indicated that the binding free energies of Spathulenol, Cedrol, Juniper camphor, Santalol, Nootkatone and 7,9-Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro[4.5]deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione to COX-2 protein were -5.65, -7.19, -6.35, -4.94, -5.82 and -5.14 kcal/mol, respectively. The findings showed the steady interactions of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonds between both the top two compounds of binding free energy and the active site residues of COX-2 (4M11) throughout the simulation via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonds. The very study shall be supportive for in vitro and in vivo studies in developing drug products using the lead bioactive ingredients for anti-inflammatory in the future.

In silico and in vitro studies of potential inhibitors against Dengue viral protein NS5 Methyl Transferase from Ginseng and Notoginseng. J Tradit Complement Med 2023; 13:1-10. [PMID: 36685072 PMCID: PMC9845645 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcme.2022.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aim Dengue is a potentially deadly tropical infectious disease transmitted by mosquito vector Aedes aegypti with no antiviral drug available to date. Dengue NS5 protein is crucial for viral replication and is the most conserved among all four Dengue serotypes, making it an attractive drug target. Both Ginseng and Notoginseng extracts and isolates have been shown to be effective against various viral infections yet against Dengue Virus is understudied. We aim to identify potential inhibitors against Dengue NS5 Methyl transferase from small molecular compounds found in Ginseng and Notoginseng. Experimental procedure A molecular docking model of Dengue NS5 Methyl transferase (MTase) domain was tested with decoys and then used to screen 91 small molecular compounds found in Ginseng and Notoginseng followed by Molecular dynamics simulations and the per-residue free energy decompositions based on molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann (generalised Born) surface area (MM/PB(GB)SA) calculations of the hit. ADME predictions and drug-likeness analyses were discussed to evaluate the viability of the hit as a drug candidate. To confirm our findings, in vitro studies of antiviral activities against RNA and a E protein synthesis and cell toxicity were carried out. Results and conclusion The virtual screening resulted in Isoquercitrin as a single hit. Further analyses of the Isoquercitrin-MTase complex show that Isoquercitrin can reside within both of the NS5 Methyl Transferase active sites; the AdoMet binding site and the RNA capping site. The Isoquercitrin is safe for consumption and accessible on multikilogram scale. In vitro studies showed that Isoquercitrin can inhibit Dengue virus by reducing viral RNA and viral protein synthesis with low toxicity to cells (CC50 > 20 μM). Our work provides evidence that Isoquercitrin can serve as an inhibitor of Dengue NS5 protein at the Methyl Transferase domain, further supporting its role as an anti-DENV agent.

Abstract
Growing studies are revealing the critical manifestations of influenza, dengue virus (DENV) infection, Zika virus (ZIKV) disease, and Ebola virus disease (EVD) as emerging infectious diseases. However, their corresponding mechanisms of major complications headed for neuronal dysfunction are not entirely understood. From the mechanistic point of view, inflammatory/oxidative mediators are activated during emerging infectious diseases towards less cell migration, neurogenesis impairment, and neuronal death. Accordingly, the virus life cycle and associated enzymes, as well as host receptors, cytokine storm, and multiple signaling mediators, are the leading players of emerging infectious diseases. Consequently, chemokines, interleukins, interferons, carbohydrate molecules, toll-like receptors (TLRs), and tyrosine kinases are leading orchestrates of peripheral and central complications which are in near interconnections. Some of the resulting neuronal manifestations have attracted much attention, including inflammatory polyneuropathy, encephalopathy, meningitis, myelitis, stroke, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), radiculomyelitis, meningoencephalitis, memory loss, headaches, cranial nerve abnormalities, tremor, and seizure. The complex pathophysiological mechanism behind the aforementioned complications urges the need for finding multi-target agents with higher efficacy and lower side effects. In recent decades, the natural kingdom has been highlighted as promising neuroprotective natural products in modulating several dysregulated signaling pathways/mediators. The present study provides neuronal manifestations of some emerging infectious diseases and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Besides, a mechanistic-based strategy is developed to introduce candidate natural products as promising multi-target agents in combating major dysregulated pathways towards neuroprotection in influenza, DENV infection, ZIKV disease, and EVD.

Abstract
Approximately 100–400 million people from more than 100 countries in the tropical and subtropical world are affected by dengue infections. Recent scientific breakthroughs have brought new insights into novel strategies for the production of dengue antivirals and vaccines. The search for specific dengue inhibitors is expanding, and the mechanisms for evaluating the efficacy of novel drugs are currently established, allowing for expedited translation into human trials. Furthermore, in the aftermath of the only FDA-approved vaccine, Dengvaxia, a safer and more effective dengue vaccine candidate is making its way through the clinical trials. Until an effective antiviral therapy and licensed vaccine are available, disease monitoring and vector population control will be the mainstays of dengue prevention. In this article, we highlighted recent advances made in the perspectives of efforts made recently, in dengue vaccine development and dengue antiviral drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the mutation and overexpression of the cyclin D1 protein by the reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13:q32). AIM The present study aims to identify potential inhibition of MMP9, Proteasome, BTK, and TAK1 and determine the most suitable and effective protein target for the MCL. METHODOLOGY Nine known inhibitors for MMP9, 24 for proteasome, 15 for BTK and 14 for TAK1 were screened. SB-3CT (PubChem ID: 9883002), oprozomib (PubChem ID: 25067547), zanubrutinib (PubChem ID: 135565884) and TAK1 inhibitor (PubChem ID: 66760355) were recognized as drugs with high binding capacity with their respective protein receptors. 41, 72, 102 and 3 virtual screened compounds were obtained after the similarity search with compound (PubChem ID:102173753), PubChem compound SCHEMBL15569297 (PubChem ID:72374403), PubChem compound SCHEMBL17075298 (PubChem ID:136970120) and compound CID: 71814473 with best virtual screened compounds. RESULT MMP9 inhibitors show commendable affinity and good interaction profile of compound holding PubChem ID:102173753 over the most effective established inhibitor SB-3CT. The pharmacophore study of the best virtual screened compound reveals its high efficacy based on various interactions. The virtual screened compound's better affinity with the target MMP9 protein was deduced using toxicity and integration profile studies. CONCLUSION Based on the ADMET profile, the compound (PubChem ID: 102173753) could be a potent drug for MCL treatment. Similar to the established SB-3CT, the compound was non-toxic with LD50 values for both the compounds lying in the same range.

Abstract
Dengue virus is becoming a major global disease; the envelope protein is the major target for vaccine development against Dengue. Nowadays, the attention has focused on developing inhibitors based on Papain is a promising target for treating Dengue. In the present work, the theoretical studies of E-protein(Cys74-Glu79;Lys110)…Papain(Cys25, Asn175 and His159) complexes are analysed by Density Functional Theory (M06-2X/cc-pVDZ) method. Among the E-protein(Cys74-Glu79;Lys110)…Papain(Cys25, Asn175 and Hys159) complexes, E-protein(Glu76)…Papain(Cys25) complex has the highest interaction value of -352.22 kcal/mol. Moreover, the natural bond orbital analysis also supports the above results. The 100 ns Molecular Dynamics simulation reveals that, E-protein(Ala54-Ile129)…Papain(Cys25) complex had the lowest root mean square deviation value of 1 Å compared to the E-protein(Ala54-Ile129)… Papain(Asn175 & His159) complexes. The salt bridge formation between the Asp103 and Lys110 residues are the important stabilizing factor in E-protein(Ala54-Ile129)…Papain(Cys25) complex. This result can extend our knowledge of the functional behaviour of Papain and provides structural insight to target Envelope protein as forthcoming drug targets in Dengue.
