Exploration of Specific Fluoroquinolone Interaction with SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (Mpro) to Battle COVID-19: DFT, Molecular Docking, ADME and Cardiotoxicity Studies. Molecules 2024; 29:4721. [PMID: 39407649 PMCID: PMC11477632 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29194721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2024] [Revised: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 10/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Herein, the pharmacokinetic profiles, binding interactions, and molecular properties of fluoroquinolone derivatives as prospective antiviral drugs are examined using a combination of docking, ADME, and DFT simulations. The effectiveness of the ligands is compared with the clinically tested and FDA-authorized medicine remdesivir. The findings demonstrated encouraging binding energies, indicating possible inhibitory effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. The fluoroquinolone derivatives also exhibit promising ADME characteristics, although compounds 5, 6, 9, 12-20 possess poor values, suggesting that oral administration may be possible. The potential of the selected compounds as SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors is thoroughly understood because of the integrated analysis of DFT, with compound 11 demonstrating the highest energy gap of 0.2604 eV of, docking with viral targets with docking scores of -7.9 to -5.9 kcal/mol, with compound 18 demonstrating the highest docking score, which is at the 13th position in energy difference in the DFT data. Their favorable electrical properties, robust binding interactions with viral targets, and attractive pharmacokinetic profiles boost their potential as prospective study subjects. These substances have the potential to be transformed into cutting-edge antiviral therapies that specifically target SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and related coronaviruses.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CFX), a widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is critical in healthcare settings for treating patients. However, improper treatment of wastewater from these facilities can lead to environmental contamination with CFX. This underscores the need for an efficient, straightforward method for early detection. In this study, a DNA aptamer was selected through a hierarchical docking workflow, and the stability and interactions were assessed by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. The aptamer-CFX complex that showed the most promise had a docking score of -8.596 kcal/mol and was further analyzed using MD simulation and MM/PBSA. Based on the overall results, the identified ssDNA sequence length of 60 nt (CAGCGCTAGGGCTTTTAGCGTAATGGGTAGGGTGGTGCGGTGCAGATATCGGAATTGGTG) was immobilized over a gold transducer surface through the self-assembled monolayer (SAM; Au-S-ssDNA) method. The ssDNA-modified surface has demonstrated a high affinity towards CFX, which is confirmed by cyclic voltammogram (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements (EIS). The DNA-aptamer modified electrode demonstrated a good linear range (10 × 10-9 - 200 × 10-9 M), detection limit (1.0 × 10-9 M), selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The optimized DNA-aptamer-based CFX sensor was further utilized for the accurate determination of CFX with good recoveries in real samples.

Abstract
In the current context of water environmental monitoring and pollution control, there's a crucial need for rapid and simple methods to detect multi-pollutant. We herein report an easy one-step hydrothermal synthesis method to produce Eu-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu MOFs), which was used as a fluorescent probe to detect the aquatic environmental pollutants of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and aluminum ions (Al3+). This fluorescent sensor enabled the cascade detection of CIP and Al3+ through fluorescence enhancement and ratio fluorescence response, respectively. The introduction of CIP significantly turned on the characteristic fluorescence of Eu MOFs at 595 nm and 616 nm through the "antenna effect". Based on this, the sensor enables quantitative detection of CIP within a linear range of 0-120 μM with a LOD as low as 50.421 nM. In the presence of Al3+, the fluorescence emission of Eu MOFs-CIP was sharply turned off due to strong Al3+ coordination with CIP, while the blue fluorescence emission of CIP was remarkably enhanced. And thus allowing ratio fluorescence quantitative detection of Al3+ (LOD = 2.681 μM). The introduction of CIP and Al3+ in cascade resulted in distinct fluorescence color changes from colorless to red and eventually to blue, exhibiting pronounced fluorescence characteristics. This observable phenomenon enables the visual detection of CIP and Al3+ in both aqueous phase and paper test strips. By combining the analysis of fluorescence chromaticity with the use of a smartphone, the fluorescence color of test papers allows for simple quantitative determination, which provides a convenient and accessible approach for quantifying CIP and Al3+ in water environments.

Abstract
A novel efficient transformation reaction of dicarboxylic acids into N-aryl-substituted azacycles is described. In this synthetic procedure, both catalytic SnCl2 and phenylsilane were used as crucial reagents for reaction of arylamines with dicarboxylic acids to produce the desired azacycles. Using this SnCl2-catalyzed synthetic method, various N-aryl-substituted azacycles were successfully prepared from arylamines with dicarboxylic acids in high yield. This practical synthetic method using catalytic SnCl2 can provide a useful approach for preparation of the desired azacycle products from many available dicarboxylic acid starting materials.

Changing Cross-Reactivity for Different Immunoassays Using the Same Antibodies: Theoretical Description and Experimental Confirmation. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Many applications of immunoassays involve the possible presence of structurally similar compounds that bind with antibodies, but with different affinities. In this regard, an important characteristic of an immunoassay is its cross-reactivity: the possibility of detecting various compounds in comparison with a certain standard. Based on cross-reactivity, analytical systems are assessed as either high-selective (responding strictly to a specific compound) or low-selective (responding to a number of similar compounds). The present study demonstrates that cross-reactivity is not an intrinsic characteristic of antibodies but can vary for different formats of competitive immunoassays using the same antibodies. Assays with sensitive detection of markers and, accordingly, implementation at low concentrations of antibodies and modified (competing) antigens are characterized by lower cross-reactivities and are, thus, more specific than assays requiring high concentrations of markers and interacting reagents. This effect was confirmed by both mathematical modeling and experimental comparison of an enzyme immunoassay and a fluorescence polarization immunoassay of sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones. Thus, shifting to lower concentrations of reagents decreases cross-reactivities by up to five-fold. Moreover, the cross-reactivities are changed even in the same assay format by varying the ratio of immunoreactants’ concentrations and shifting from the kinetic or equilibrium mode of the antigen-antibody reaction. The described patterns demonstrate the possibility of modulating immunodetection selectivity without searching for new binding reactants.

Abstract
Based on a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) against tiamulin (TML), an electrochemical immunosensor was proposed using silver-graphene oxide (Ag-GO) nanocomposites and gold nanocomposites (AuNPs) to detect tiamulin (TML). Due to the synergetic properties of Ag-GO nanocomposites and AuNPs, the conductivity of the immunosensor was significantly enhanced. On account of the specific mAb and conductive nanocomposites, the proposed electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a low LOD of 0.003 ng mL-1 for the detection of TML in a wide linear range of 0.01 to 1000 ng mL-1. In addition, the immunosensor did not involve additional redox species. Furthermore, the efficient and simple electrochemical immunosensor was employed to detect TML in real samples with high accuracy, suggesting a potential detection platform for other veterinary antibiotics in animal derived foods.

Abstract
In this work, a novel method based on gold nanoparticle preconcentration coupled with CE for electrochemiluminescence detection of ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin in European eels was developed. The addition of gold nanoparticles induced the rapid enrichment of fluoroquinolones, which was simpler than the conventional enrichment approaches such as solid phase extraction and solid-phase microextraction. More than 100 times enrichment was observed after gold nanoparticle aggregation-based preconcentration. The CE-electrochemiluminescence parameters that affected the separation and detection were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the linear ranges for the four fluoroquinolones were 0.090-8.0 μmol L-1 with the detection limits between 0.020 and 0.050 μmol L-1. The proposed approach showed the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, a wide linear range, and a low detection limit. It was used to analyze fluoroquinolones in European eel, and the results showed that the developed method can satisfy the detection requirements for fluoroquinolone determination in aquatic products set by China and the European Union.
