Prabhakar A, Hu S, Tang J, Ghatpande P, Lagna G, Jiang X, Hata A. Essential role of the amino-terminal region of Drosha for the Microprocessor function. iScience 2023; 26:107971. [PMID: 37810246 PMCID: PMC10558778 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Drosha is a core component of the Microprocessor complex that cleaves primary-microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) to generate precursor-miRNA and regulates the expression of ∼80 ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Despite the fact that mutations in the amino-terminal region of Drosha (Drosha-NTR) are associated with a vascular disorder, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, the precise function of Drosha-NTR remains unclear. By deleting exon 5 from the Drosha gene and generating a Drosha mutant lacking the NTR (ΔN), we demonstrate that ΔN is unable to process pri-miRNAs, which leads to a global miRNA depletion, except for the miR-183/96/182 cluster. We find that Argonaute 2 facilitates the processing of the pri-miR-183/96/182 in ΔN cells. Unlike full-length Drosha, ΔN is not degraded under serum starvation, resulting in unregulated RP biogenesis and protein synthesis in ΔN cells, allowing them to evade growth arrest. This study reveals the essential role of Drosha-NTR in miRNA production and nutrient-dependent translational control.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Pyrano[2,3- c]pyrazole Derivatives as 3-Hydroxyflavone Analogues. Molecules 2023; 28:6599.

Abstract
In this paper, an efficient synthetic route from pyrazole-chalcones to novel 6-aryl-5-hydroxy-2-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-ones as 3-hydroxyflavone analogues is described. The methylation of 5-hydroxy-2,6-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one with methyl iodide in the presence of a base yielded a compound containing a 5-methoxy group, while the analogous reaction of 5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-6-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one led to the zwitterionic 6-(N-methylpyridinium)pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol derivative. The treatment of 5-hydroxy-2,6-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one with triflic anhydride afforded a 5-trifloylsubstituted compound, which was further used in carbon-carbon bond forming Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions to yield 5-(hetero)aryl- and 5-carbo-functionalized pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles from the 5-hydroxy moiety to the carbonyl group in polar protic, polar aprotic, and nonpolar solvents was observed, resulting in well-resolved two-band fluorescence. The structures of the novel heterocyclic compounds were confirmed by 1H-, 13C-, 15N-, and 19F-NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Abstract
Due to hurdles, including resistance, adverse effects, and poor bioavailability, among others linked with existing therapies, there is an urgent unmet need to devise new, safe, and more effective treatment modalities for skin cancers. Herein, a series of flavonol-based derivatives of fisetin, a plant-based flavonoid identified as an anti-tumorigenic agent targeting the mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR)-regulated pathways, were synthesized and fully characterized. New potential inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases (c-KITs), cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (CDK2), and mTOR, representing attractive therapeutic targets for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) treatment, were identified using inverse-docking, in vitro kinase activity and various cell-based anticancer screening assays. Eleven compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activities greater than the parent molecule against four human skin cancer cell lines, including melanoma (A375 and SK-Mel-28) and NMSCs (A431 and UWBCC1), with IC50 values ranging from 0.12 to < 15 μM. Seven compounds were identified as potentially potent single, dual or multi-kinase c-KITs, CDK2, and mTOR kinase inhibitors after inverse-docking and screening against twelve known cancer targets, followed by kinase activity profiling. Moreover, the potent compound F20, and the multi-kinase F9 and F17 targeted compounds, markedly decreased scratch wound closure, colony formation, and heightened expression levels of key cancer-promoting pathway molecular targets c-Kit, CDK2, and mTOR. In addition, these compounds downregulated Bcl-2 levels and upregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3/7/8 and PARP levels, thus inducing apoptosis of A375 and A431 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, compounds F20, F9 and F17, were identified as promising c-Kit, CDK2 and mTOR inhibitors, worthy of further investigation as therapeutics, or as adjuvants to standard therapies for the control of melanoma and NMSCs.

Abstract
A simple, efficient, cost-effective, recyclable and green approach has been developed for the synthesis of new dihydropyrimidinone analogs via the Biginelli reaction. The methodology involves a multicomponent reaction catalyzed by “HPA-Montmorillonite-KSF” as a reusable and heterogeneous catalyst. This method gives an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction, in terms of yield and short reaction times under solvent free conditions. All the derivatives were subjected to cytotoxicity screening against a panel of four different human cancer cell lines viz. colon (Colo-205), prostate (PC-3), leukemia (THP-1) and lung (A549) to check their effect on percentage growth. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-yl)-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide] cytotoxicity assay was employed to check IC50 values. Of the synthesized analogs, 16a showed the best activity with IC50 of 7.1 ± 0.8, 13.1 ± 1.4, 13.8 ± 0.9 and 14.7 ± 1.1 μM against lung (A549), leukemia (THP-1), prostate (PC-3) and colon (Colo-205) cancer lines, respectively. The 16a analog was further checked for its effect on cancer cell properties through clonogenic (colony formation) and scratch motility (wound healing) assays and thereby was found that it reduced both the colony formation and migratory properties of the lung cancer cell line (A549). Further, molecular docking studies were performed with 16a to show its binding mode. The general method for the preparation of DHPM analogs; cytotoxic activity and binding mode of the most active derivative against PI3Kγ and CDK2 targets.![]()

Abstract
CDK2 can be used as an attractive target for development of efficient inhibitors curing multiple disease relating with CDK2. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and binding free energy calculations were coupled to probe conformational changes of CDK2 due to inhibitor associations and binding mechanisms of inhibitors PM1, FMD and X64 to CDK2. The results suggest that the binding strength of FMD and X64 to CDK2 is stronger than that of PM1. Principal component (PC) analysis and cross-correlation map calculations based on the equilibrated MD trajectories demonstrate that the structural difference in inhibitors exerts important impact on motion modes and dynamics behavior of CDK2. Residue-based free energy decomposition method was adopted to estimate the inhibitor-residue spectrum. The results not only efficiently identify the hot interaction spot of inhibitors with CDK2 but also show that the hydrophobic rings R1, R2 and R3 as well as polar groups of three inhibitors play key roles in favorably binding of inhibitors to CDK2. This work is expected to contribute energetic basis and dynamics information to development of promising inhibitors toward CDK2.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide and novel anticancer agents for its better management are much needed. Benzopyrone-based compounds, such as chromones, possess several distinctive chemical and biological properties, of which the cytotoxicity against cancer cells seems to be prominent. In this study, two series of compounds based on chromen-4-one (3-10) and chromane-2,4-dione (11-18) scaffolds were synthesized in moderate/high yields and evaluated for cytotoxicity against HL-60, MOLT-4, and MCF-7 cancer cells using MTT assay. In general, the compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxic effects against the cancer cell lines, among which, a superior potency could be observed against MOLT-4 cells. Chroman-2,4-dione (11-18) derivatives had overall higher potencies compared to their chromen-4-one (3-10) counterparts. Compound 13 displayed the lowest IC50 values against HL-60 (IC50, 42.0 ± 2.7 μM) and MOLT-4 cell lines (IC50, 24.4 ± 2.6 μM), while derivative 11 showed the highest activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50, 68.4 ± 3.9 μM). In conclusion, this study provides important information on the cytotoxic effects of chromone derivatives. Benzochroman-2,4-dione has been identified as a promising scaffold, which its potency can be modulated by tailored synthesis with the aim of finding novel and dissimilar anticancer compounds.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia in children. Up to a quarter of ALL patients relapse and face poor prognosis. To identify new compound leads, we conducted a phenotypic screen using terrestrial natural product (NP) fractions against immortalized ALL cellular models. We identified vitexin, a flavonoid, as a promising hit with biological activity (EC50 = 30 μM) in pre-B cell ALL models with no toxicity against normal human tissue (BJ cells) at the tested concentrations. To develop more potent compounds against ALL and elucidate its potential mode of action, a vitexin-inspired compound library was synthesized. Thus, we developed an improved and scalable protocol for the direct synthesis of 4-quinolone core heterocycles containing an N-sulfonamide using a one-pot condensation reaction protocol. The newly generated compounds represent a novel molecular scaffold against ALL as exemplified by compounds 13 and 15, which demonstrated EC50 values in the low micromolar range (0.3-10 μM) with little to no toxicity in normal cellular models. Computational studies support the hypothesis that these compounds are potential CDK inhibitors. The compounds induced apoptosis, caused cell arrest at G0/G1 and G2/M, and induced ROS in cancer cells.

Abstract
The novel 3,5-diaminoindazole derivatives are well-known as potent and anti-proliferative cyclin-dependent kinase 2 inhibitors. We report a combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics study to determine the protein-ligand interaction energy, and some quantum chemical descriptors to successfully rank these inhibitors. The results in this work show that the QM-MM interaction energy is strongly correlated to the biological activity and can be used as a predictor, which was further validated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. An exhaustive analysis of the protein-ligand structures obtained from molecular dynamics simulations shows specific interactions within the active site. Furthermore, the docking study was supported by electronic property analysis using density functional theory at the B3LYP/3-21*G level. The results obtained from molecular docking and surface analysis shed some insight on steric and electronic complementarities of these molecules to CDK2. Aqueous solvation energy values give an indication of the solubility and can be used as a guide for the pharmacokinetic optimization of these molecules. Furthermore, ADME/T properties calculated are in the desirable range, so these compounds are predicted to be drug like with low toxicity potential. Overall, the approach was successful in the cases considered, and it could be useful for the design of inhibitors in the lead optimization phase of drug discovery against CDK2.

Abstract
A novel family of 3-((4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (bis-chromone) derivatives were designed, synthesized and studied for their anti-cancer activity using the XTT assay for the growth inhibition against various human cancer cells. Among them, 3-((5-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methyl)-7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one and 3-((5-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methyl)-7-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one showed micromolar level of in vitro anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines. The SAR studies indicated bis-chromone as a basic scaffold to design anticancer agents. The 5-cyclohexylmethoxy on the first chromenone ring and electron donating group such as CH3, OCH3 or hydrogen bonding group (OH) on the other chromenone ring of bis-chromone increased the activity. However, saturation of one of chromenone to chromanone in bis-chromones decreased the activity.

Abstract
A series of nitrogen-containing flavonoid analogues were designed and synthesized by Mannich reaction, and screened for the inhibitory activities of cyclin-dependent kinases using a FRET-based biochemical assay method. The results showed that C-8 nitrogen-containing baicalein analogues 3a-3f exhibited potent CDK1/Cyclin B inhibitory activities. 5,6,7-Trihydroxy-8-(dimethylaminomethyl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3a, 5,6,7-trihydroxy-8-(pyrrolid inylmethyl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3b, and 5,6,7-trihydroxy-8-(piperidinylmethyl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3c (IC(50) 1.05-1.28 microM) were about sixfold more potent than baicalein 2 (IC(50) 6.53 microM). 5,6,7-Trihydroxy-8-(morpholinomethyl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3d, 5,6,7-trihydroxy-8-(thiomorpholinomethy)-2-phenyl-4H-chrom en-4-one 3e, and 5,6,7-trihydroxy-8-(4-methylpiperazinylmethyl)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one 3f (IC(50) 0.27-0.38 microM) were about 20-fold more potent than baicalein, and were at the same level as flavopiridol (IC(50) 0.33 microM).
