Abstract
In humans, 15 genes encode the class B1 family of GPCRs, which are polypeptide hormone receptors characterized by having a large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and receive signals from outside the cell to activate cellular response. For example, the insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) stimulates the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), while the glucagon receptor (GCGR) responds to glucagon by increasing blood glucose levels and promoting the breakdown of liver glycogen to induce the production of insulin. The glucagon-like peptides 1 and 2 (GLP-1 and GLP-2) elicit a response from glucagon-like peptide receptor types 1 and 2 (GLP1R and GLP2R), respectively. Since these receptors are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes, studying their activation is crucial for the development of effective therapies for the condition. With more structural information being revealed by experimental methods such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, and NMR, the activation mechanism of class B1 GPCRs becomes unraveled. The available crystal and cryo-EM structures reveal that class B1 GPCRs follow a two-step model for peptide binding and receptor activation. The regions close to the C-termini of hormones interact with the N-terminal ECD of the receptor while the regions close to the N-terminus of the peptide interact with the TM domain and transmit signals. This review highlights the structural details of class B1 GPCRs and their conformational changes following activation. The roles of MD simulation in characterizing those conformational changes are briefly discussed, providing insights into the potential structural exploration for future ligand designs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this fast-growing era, high throughput data is now being easily accessed by getting transformed into datasets which store the information. Such information is valuable to optimize the hypothesis and drug design via computer-aided drug design (CADD). Nowadays, we can explore the role of CADD in various disciplines like Nanotechnology, Biochemistry, Medical Sciences, Molecular Biology, etc. Methods: We searched the valuable literature using a pertinent database with given keywords like computer-aided drug design, anti-diabetic, drug design, etc. We retrieved all valuable articles which are recent and discussing the role of computation in the designing of anti-diabetic agents. RESULTS To facilitate the drug discovery process, the computational approach has set landmarks in the whole pipeline for drug discovery from target identification and mechanism of action to the identification of leads and drug candidates. Along with this, there is a determined endeavor to describe the significance of in-silico studies in predicting the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity profile. Thus, globally, CADD is accepted with a variety of tools for studying QSAR, virtual screening, protein structure prediction, quantum chemistry, material design, physical and biological property prediction. CONCLUSION Computer-assisted tools are used as the drug discovery tool in the area of different diseases, and here we reviewed the collaborative aspects of information technologies and chemoinformatic tools in the discovery of anti-diabetic agents, keeping in view the growing importance for treating diabetes.

The Effects of Natural Clinoptilolite and Nano-Sized Clinoptilolite Supplementation on Glucose Levels and Oxidative Stress in Rats With Type 1 Diabetes. Can J Diabetes 2017; 42:31-35. [PMID: 28506813 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2017.01.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2016] [Revised: 01/20/2017] [Accepted: 01/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress has a major role in development of diabetic complications. In this study we investigated whether clinoptilolite and nano-sized clinoptilolite could reduce hyperglycemia and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and attempted to determine which intervention was more effective. METHODS Thirty-six rats were randomly allocated to 2 groups; 1 group was randomly chosen as a diabetic group and injected with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight in 0.1 mol/L sodium citrate buffer, pH 4.5) to induce diabetes. Three days after diabetes induction, each group (diabetic group and nondiabetic group) was randomly divided into 3 subgroups of 6 animals each ([1] control, [2] 1% clinoptilolite/food, [3] 1% nano-sized clinoptilolite/food). Supplementation was continued for 28 days. Blood glucose was measured 3 times, at the beginning of the study and on the 14th and 28th days. Activity of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, and levels of total antioxidant capacity, as well as malondialdehyde, were evaluated. RESULTS Blood glucose and malondialdehyde were significantly elevated, but there were no statistically significant changes in superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase or total antioxidant capacity in diabetic rats. In diabetic rats treated with nano-sized clinoptilolite, blood glucose decreased to near normal levels (12.4 vs. 27.5 mmol/L). No significant changes were found in the other groups. None of the oxidative stress indices showed significant changes in either the treated or untreated rats. CONCLUSION Nano-sized clinoptilolite exerted a hypoglycemic effect in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats but had no significant influence on oxidative stress markers.

Abstract
4-hydroxy-tetrahydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) is an important enzyme needed for the biosynthesis of lysine and many more key metabolites in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Inhibition of DHDPS is supposed to a promising therapeutic target due to its specific role in sporulation, cross-linking of the peptidiglycan polymers and biosynthesis of amino acids. In this work, a known inhibitor-based similarity search was carried out against a natural products database (Super Natural II) towards identification of more potent phyto-inhibitors. Molecular interaction studies were accomplished using three different tools to understand and establish the participation of active site residues as the key players in stabilizing the binding mode of ligands and target protein. The best phyto-compound deduced on the basis of binding affinity was further used as a template to make similarity scan across the PubChem Compound database (score > = 80 %) to get more divesred leads. In this search 5098 hits were obtained that further reduced to 262 after drug-likeness filtration. These phytochemicallike compounds were docked at the active site of DHDPS.Then, those hits selected from docking analysis that showing stronger binding and forming maximum H-bonds with the active site residues (Thr54, Thr55, Tyr143, Arg148 and Lys171). Finally, we predicted one phytochemical compound (SN00003544), two PubChem-compounds (CID41032023, CID54025334) akin to phytochemical molecule showing better interactions in comaprison of known inhibitors of target protein.These findings might be further useful to gain the structural insight into the designing of novel leads against DapA family.
