Discovery of furopyridine-based compounds as novel inhibitors of Janus kinase 2: In silico and in vitro studies. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129308. [PMID: 38218283 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), one of the JAK isoforms participating in a JAK/STAT signaling cascade, has been considered a potential clinical target owing to its critical role in physiological processes involved in cell growth, survival, development, and differentiation of various cell types, especially immune and hematopoietic cells. Substantial studies have proven that the inhibition of this target could disrupt the JAK/STAT pathway and provide therapeutic outcomes for cancer, immune disorders, inflammation, and COVID-19. Herein, we performed docking-based virtual screening of 63 in-house furopyridine-based compounds and verified the first-round screened compounds by in vitro enzyme- and cell-based assays. By shedding light on the integration of both in silico and in vitro methods, we could elucidate two promising compounds. PD19 showed cytotoxic effects on human erythroblast cell lines (TF-1 and HEL) with IC50 values of 57.27 and 27.28 μM, respectively, while PD12 exhibited a cytotoxic effect on TF-1 with an IC50 value of 83.47 μM by suppressing JAK2/STAT5 autophosphorylation. In addition, all screened compounds were predicted to meet drug-like criteria based on Lipinski's rule of five, and none of the extreme toxicity features were found. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that PD12 and PD19 could form stable complexes with JAK2 in an aqueous environment, and the van der Waals interactions were the main force driving the complex formation. Besides, all compounds sufficiently interacted with surrounding amino acids in all crucial regions, including glycine, catalytic, and activation loops. Altogether, PD12 and PD19 identified here could potentially be developed as novel therapeutic inhibitors disrupting the JAK/STAT pathway.

Abstract
Diabetic Mellitus has been characterized as the most prevalent disease throughout the globe associated with the serious morbidity and mortality of vital organs. Cardiomyopathy is the major leading complication of diabetes and within this, myocardial dysfunction or failure is the leading cause of the emergency hospital admission. The review is aimed to comprehend the perspectives associated with diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications. The data was collected from several electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, ACS publication, PubMed, Springer, etc. using the keywords such as diabetes and its associated complication, the prevalence of diabetes, the anatomical and physiological mechanism of diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy, the molecular mechanism of diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy, oxidative stress, and inflammatory stress, etc. The collected scientific data was screened by different experts based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. This review findings revealed that diabetes is associated with inefficient substrate utilization, inability to increase glucose metabolism and advanced glycation end products within the diabetic heart resulting in mitochondrial uncoupling, glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity, and initially subclinical cardiac dysfunction and finally in overt heart failure. Furthermore, several factors such as hypertension, overexpression of renin angiotensin system, hypertrophic obesity, etc. have been seen as majorly associated with cardiomyopathy. The molecular examination showed biochemical disability and generation of the varieties of free radicals and inflammatory cytokines and becomes are the substantial causes of cardiomyopathy. This review provides a better understanding of the involved pathophysiology and offers an open platform for discussing and targeting therapy in alleviating diabetes-induced early heart failure or cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION COVID-19 may contribute to decompensation of previously stable chronic HF or cause a de-novo heart failure, which may come from the hyperinflammatory response and subsequent increase in metabolic demand. AREAS COVERED Two independent investigators searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), Europe PMC, and ScienceDirect databases with the following search terms: COVID-19, heart failure, COVID-19 drugs, heart failure drugs, and device therapy. All of the included full-text articles were rigorously evaluated by both authors in case there was disagreement about whether research should be included or not. In total, 157 studies were included and underwent extensive reading by the authors. EXPERT OPINION The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) have published COVID-19 drug recommendations, although recommendations for HF-specific drug choices in COVID-19 are still lacking. We hope that this review can answer the void of comprehensive research data regarding the management options of HF in the COVID-19 condition so that clinicians can at least choose a more beneficial therapy or avoid combination therapies that have a high burden of side effects on HF; thus, morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients with HF may be reduced.

Abstract
Malaria is an endemic disease, prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions which cost half of million deaths annually. The eradication of malaria is one of the global health priority nevertheless, current therapeutic efforts seem to be insufficient due to the emergence of drug resistance towards most of the available drugs, even first-line treatment ACT, unavailability of the vaccine, and lack of drugs with a new mechanism of action. Intensification of antimalarial research in recent years has resulted into the development of single dose multistage therapeutic agents which has advantage of overcoming the antimalarial drug resistance. The present review explored the current progress in the development of new promising antimalarials against prominent target proteins that have the potential to be a clinical candidate. Here, we also reviewed different aspects of drug resistance and highlighted new drug candidates that are currently in a clinical trial or clinical development, along with a few other molecules with excellent antimalarial activity overs ACTs. The summarized scientific value of previous approaches and structural features of antimalarials related to the activity are highlighted that will be helpful for the development of next-generation antimalarials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been reported in case series but have been underappreciated due to their recent emergence, difficulties in diagnosis and non-specific clinical manifestations. ICIs are antibodies that block negative regulators of the T cell immune response, including cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), and PD-1 ligand (PD-L1). While ICIs have introduced a significant mortality benefit in several cancer types, the augmented immune response has led to a range of immune-related toxicities, including cardiovascular toxicity. ICI-associated myocarditis often presents with arrhythmias, may co-exist with myositis and myasthenia gravis, can be severe, and portends a poor prognosis. In addition, pericardial disease, vasculitis, including temporal arteritis, and non-inflammatory heart failure, have been recently described as immune-related toxicities from ICI. This narrative review describes the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of cardiovascular toxicities of ICI therapy, highlighting recent developments in the field in the past year.
