Discovery of Kinase and Carbonic Anhydrase Dual Inhibitors by Machine Learning Classification and Experiments. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15020236. [PMID: 35215348 PMCID: PMC8875555 DOI: 10.3390/ph15020236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
A multi-target small molecule modulator is advantageous for treating complicated diseases such as cancers. However, the strategy and application for discovering a multi-target modulator have been less reported. This study presents the dual inhibitors for kinase and carbonic anhydrase (CA) predicted by machine learning (ML) classifiers, and validated by biochemical and biophysical experiments. ML trained by CA I and CA II inhibitor molecular fingerprints predicted candidates from the protein-specific bioactive molecules approved or under clinical trials. For experimental tests, three sulfonamide-containing kinase inhibitors, 5932, 5946, and 6046, were chosen. The enzyme assays with CA I, CA II, CA IX, and CA XII have allowed the quantitative comparison in the molecules’ inhibitory activities. While 6046 inhibited weakly, 5932 and 5946 exhibited potent inhibitions with 100 nM to 1 μM inhibitory constants. The ML screening was extended for finding CAs inhibitors of all known kinase inhibitors. It found XMU-MP-1 as another potent CA inhibitor with an approximate 30 nM inhibitory constant for CA I, CA II, and CA IX. Differential scanning fluorimetry confirmed the direct interaction between CAs and small molecules. Cheminformatics studies, including docking simulation, suggest that each molecule possesses two separate functional moieties: one for interaction with kinases and the other with CAs.

Abstract
Tyrosinase, a metalloenzyme containing a dicopper cofactor, plays a central role in synthesizing melanin from tyrosine. Many studies have aimed to identify small-molecule inhibitors of tyrosinase for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural purposes. In this study, we report that hydroxamic acid is a potent metal-binding group for interacting with dicopper atoms, thereby inhibiting tyrosinase. Hydroxamate-containing molecules, including anticancer drugs targeting histone deacetylase, vorinostat and panobinostat, significantly inhibited mushroom tyrosinase, with inhibitory constants in the submicromolar range. Of the tested molecules, benzohydroxamic acid was the most potent. Its inhibitory constant of 7 nM indicates that benzohydroxamic acid is one of the most potent tyrosinase inhibitors. Results from differential scanning fluorimetry revealed that direct binding mediates inhibition. The enzyme kinetics were studied to assess the inhibitory mechanism of the hydroxamate-containing molecules. Experiments with B16F10 cell lysates confirmed that the new inhibitors are inhibitory against mammalian tyrosinase. Docking simulation data revealed intermolecular contacts between hydroxamate-containing molecules and tyrosinase.

New Inhibitors of Laccase and Tyrosinase by Examination of Cross-Inhibition between Copper-Containing Enzymes. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222413661. [PMID: 34948458 PMCID: PMC8707586 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222413661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Coppers play crucial roles in the maintenance homeostasis in living species. Approximately 20 enzyme families of eukaryotes and prokaryotes are known to utilize copper atoms for catalytic activities. However, small-molecule inhibitors directly targeting catalytic centers are rare, except for those that act against tyrosinase and dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH). This study tested whether known tyrosinase inhibitors can inhibit the copper-containing enzymes, ceruloplasmin, DBH, and laccase. While most small molecules minimally reduced the activities of ceruloplasmin and DBH, aside from known inhibitors, 5 of 28 tested molecules significantly inhibited the function of laccase, with the Ki values in the range of 15 to 48 µM. Enzyme inhibitory kinetics classified the molecules as competitive inhibitors, whereas differential scanning fluorimetry and fluorescence quenching supported direct bindings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on organic small-molecule inhibitors for laccase. Comparison of tyrosinase and DBH inhibitors using cheminformatics predicted that the presence of thione moiety would suffice to inhibit tyrosinase. Enzyme assays confirmed this prediction, leading to the discovery of two new dual tyrosinase and DBH inhibitors.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of delphinidin-3-O-galactoside (DG) on the activities of tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) (TY) from the edible Agaricus bisporus mushroom were investigated by enzyme kinetics, multispectroscopic methods, and molecular docking. As a result, DG showed strong inhibition on TY with the IC50 of 34.14 × 10-6 mol L-1 . The inhibition mode of DG against TY was mixed type with α values of 5.09. The binding constant Ka and related thermodynamic parameters at the three different temperatures showed that the fluorescence quenching of TY by DG was static quenching. Synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopies confirmed that the conformation or microenvironment of the TY protein were changed after binding with DG. Molecular docking revealed that DG had strong binding affinity to TY through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force, and the results were consistent with the fluorescence data. Our findings suggested that DG may be potential TY inhibitor.

Abstract
Skin color is determined by the processes of melanin synthesis and distribution. Problems in various molecules or signaling pathways involved in melanin synthesis contribute to skin pigmentation defects. Several trials have been conducted on the production of pigmentation-regulating agents, and drug repositioning has emerged as a modern technique to identify new uses for existing drugs. Our research team has researched substances or drugs associated with pigmentation control and, as a result, nilotinib, sorafenib, and ICG-001 have been found to promote pigmentation, while 5-iodotubercidin inhibits pigmentation. Therefore, these substances or medications were suggested as potential therapeutics for pigmentation disorders by drug repositioning.

Abstract
From a CHCl3-soluble extract of the stems of Semecarpus caudata (Anacardiaceae), two new diarylalkanoids, semedienone (1) and semetrienone (2), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data interpretation. These compounds possess strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 0.033 and 0.11 μM, respectively. Docking studies of 1 and 2 with oxy-tyrosinase were carried out to analyze their interactions. Accordingly, semedienone (1) showed good interactions with the peroxide group and amino acid residues. The biosynthesis of the isolated diarylalkanoids was proposed.

Abstract
Drug repurposing is a strategy consisting of finding new indications for already known marketed drugs used in various clinical settings or highly characterized compounds despite they can be failed drugs. Recently, it emerges as an alternative approach for the rapid identification and development of new pharmaceuticals for various rare and complex diseases for which lack the effective drug treatments. The success rate of drugs repurposing approach accounts for approximately 30% of new FDA approved drugs and vaccines in recent years. This review focuses on the status of drugs repurposing approach for various diseases including skin diseases, infective, inflammatory, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Efforts have been made to provide structural features and mode of actions of drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antimicrobial resistance due to biofilm formation among bacteria is a significant problem in the healthcare and food industries. OBJECTIVE The current study describes the synthesis of enrofloxacin derivatives 2-17, and the evaluation of their anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities. METHODS Compounds 2-17 were synthesized through the acylation of enrofloxacin with thionyl chloride, followed by reaction with different aromatic amines. The new analogues identified among the sixteen compounds were 2-7, 11, 14, and 17. RESULTS Compound 2 appeared to be effective against pathogens S. aureus as well as K. pneumonia, whereas, compound 11 was found active against K. pneumonia only. Compound 2 inhibited >75% biofilm formation of S. aureus at 20 μg/mL and K. pneumonia at 10 μg/mL concentrations. These doses are far below the bactericidal concentration of compound 2, suggesting the anti-virulence mechanism of these compounds. Compound 11 inhibited 60% biofilm formation of K. pneumoniae at 70 μg/mL concentration. Compound 5 inhibited the biofilm of K. pneumoniae at 62 μg/mL concentration but also had bactericidal properties at this concentration. Interestingly, compound 2 eradicated the preformed biofilm of both the pathogens at much lower doses as compared to control drug, gentamycin and substrate, enrofloxacin. Cytotoxicity of compounds 2-17 was checked by a standard method using 3T3 normal cell lines (mouse fibroblast), all compounds were found to be noncytotoxic. CONCLUSION These compounds can be used alone or with FDA approved drugs to overcome biofilm related K. pneumoniae and S. aureus infections.

The Binding Affinity of Small Molecules with Yam Tyrosinase (Catechol Oxidase): A Biophysical Study. Biochem Res Int 2019; 2019:8284968.

Abstract
Yam tyrosinase has become an economically essential enzyme due to its ease of purification and abundant availability of yam tubers. However, an efficient biochemical and biophysical characterization of yam tyrosinase has not been reported. In the present study, the interaction of yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) tyrosinase was studied with molecules such as crocin (Crocus sativus), hydroquinone, and kojic acid. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism techniques were employed to determine the binding affinities and the changes in secondary and tertiary structures of yam tyrosinase in the presence of four relevant small molecules. Hydroquinone and crocin exhibited very low binding affinities of 0.24 M and 0.0017 M. Due to their apparent weak interactions, competition experiments were used to determine more precisely the binding affinities. Structure-function interrelationships can be correlated in great detail by this study, and the results can be compared with other available tyrosinases.
