Abstract
The endocrine disruptors (EDCs) are an important group of emerging contaminants, and their mitigation has been a huge challenge due to their chemistry complexity and variety of these compounds. The traditional treatments are inefficient to completely remove EDCs, and adsorptive processes are the major alternative investigated on their removal. Also, the use of EDCs degrading enzymes has been encouraged due to ecofriendly approach of biocatalytic processes. This paper highlights the occurrence, classification, and toxicity of EDCs with special focus in the use of enzyme-based and adsorptive technologies in the elimination of EDCs from ambiental matrices. Numerous prior reviews have focused on the discussions toward these technologies. However, the literature lacks theoretical discussions about important aspects of these methods such as the mechanisms of EDCs adsorption on the adsorbent surface or the interactions between degrading enzymes - EDCs. In this sense, theoretical calculations combined to experimental studies may help in the development of more efficient technologies to EDCs mitigation. In this review, we point out how computational tools such as molecular docking and molecular dynamics have to contribute to the design of new adsorbents and efficient catalytic processes towards endocrine disruptors mitigation.

Characterizing the potentially neuronal acetylcholinesterase reactivity toward chiral pyraclofos: Enantioselective insights from spectroscopy, in silico docking, molecular dynamics simulation and per-residue energy decomposition studies. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 110:108069. [PMID: 34773872 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.108069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Chiral organophosphorus agents are distributed ubiquitously in the environment, but the neuroactivity of these asymmetric chemicals to humans remains uncertain. This scenario was to explore the stereoselective neurobiological response of human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to chiral pyraclofos at the enantiomeric scale, and then decipher the microscopic basis of enantioselective neurotoxicity of pyraclofos enantiomers. The results indicated that (R)-/(S)-pyraclofos can form the bioconjugates with AChE with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, but the neuronal affinity of (R)-pyraclofos (K = 6.31 × 104 M-1) with AChE was larger than that of (S)-pyraclofos (K = 1.86 × 104 M-1), and significant enantioselectivity was existed in the biochemical reaction. The modes of neurobiological action revealed that pyraclofos enantiomers were situated at the substrate binding domain, and the strength of the overall noncovalent bonds between (S)-pyraclofos and the residues was weaker than that of (R)-pyraclofos, resulting in the high inhibitory effect of (R)-pyraclofos toward the activity of AChE. Dynamic enantioselective biointeractions illustrated that the intervention of inherent conformational flexibility in the AChE-(R)-pyraclofos was greater than that of the AChE-(S)-pyraclofos, which arises from the big spatial displacement and the conformational flip of the binding domain composed of the residues Thr-64~Asn-89, Gly-122~Asp-134, and Thr-436~Tyr-449. Energy decomposition exhibited that the Gibbs free energies of the AChE-(R)-/(S)-pyraclofos were ΔG° = -37.4/-30.2 kJ mol-1, respectively, and the disparity comes from the electrostatic energy during the stereoselective neurochemical reactions. Quantitative conformational analysis further confirmed the atomic-scale computational chemistry conclusions, and the perturbation of (S)-pyraclofos on the AChE's ordered conformation was lower than that of (R)-pyraclofos, which is germane to the interaction energies of the crucial residues, e.g. Tyr-124, Tyr-337, Asp-74, Trp-86, and Tyr-119. Evidently, this attempt will contribute mechanistic information to uncovering the neurobiological effects of chiral organophosphates on the body.

Molecular Modeling Studies on the Multistep Reactivation Process of Organophosphate-Inhibited Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11020169.

Abstract
Poisoning with organophosphorus compounds used as pesticides or misused as chemical weapons remains a serious threat to human health and life. Their toxic effects result from irreversible blockade of the enzymes acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, which causes overstimulation of the cholinergic system and often leads to serious injury or death. Treatment of organophosphorus poisoning involves, among other strategies, the administration of oxime compounds. Oximes reactivate cholinesterases by breaking the covalent bond between the serine residue from the enzyme active site and the phosphorus atom of the organophosphorus compound. Although the general mechanism of reactivation has been known for years, the exact molecular aspects determining the efficiency and selectivity of individual oximes are still not clear. This hinders the development of new active compounds. In our research, using relatively simple and widely available molecular docking methods, we investigated the reactivation of acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase blocked by sarin and tabun. For the selected oximes, their binding modes at each step of the reactivation process were identified. Amino acids essential for effective reactivation and those responsible for the selectivity of individual oximes against inhibited acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase were identified. This research broadens the knowledge about cholinesterase reactivation and demonstrates the usefulness of molecular docking in the study of this process. The presented observations and methods can be used in the future to support the search for new effective reactivators.

Experimental and theoretical affinity and catalysis studies between halogenated phenols and peroxidases: Understanding the bioremediation potential. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 202:110895.

Abstract
Halogenated phenols, such as 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 4-bromophenol (4-BP) are pollutants generated by a various industrial sectors like chemical, dye, paper bleaching, pharmaceuticals or in an agriculture as pesticides. The use of Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the halogenated phenols treatment has already been mentioned, but it is not well understood how the different phenolic substrates can bind in the peroxidase active site nor how these specific interactions can influence in the bioremediation potential. In this work, different removal efficiencies were obtained for phenolic compounds investigated using HRP as catalyst (93.87 and 59.19% to 4BP and 2,4 DCP, respectively). Thus, to rationalize this result based on the interactions of phenols with active center of HRP, we combine computational and experimental methodologies. The theoretical approaches utilized include density functional theory (DFT) calculations, docking simulation and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) technique. Michaelis Menten constant (Km) obtained through experimental methodologies were 2.3 and 0.95 mM to 2,4-DCP and 4-BP, respectively, while the specificity constant (Kcat/Km) found was 1.44 mM-1 s-1 and 0.62 mM-1 s-1 for 4-BP and 2,4-DCP, respectively. The experimental parameters appointed to the highest affinity of HRP to 4-BP. According to the molecular docking calculations, both ligands have shown stabilizing intermolecular interaction energies within the HRP active site, however, the 4-BP showed more stabilizing interaction energy (-53.00 kcal mol-1) than 2,4-dichlorophenol (-49.23 kcal mol-1). Besides that, oxidative mechanism of 4-BP and 2,4-DCP was investigated by the hybrid QM/MM approach. This study showed that the lowest activation energy values for transition states investigated were obtained for 4-BP. Therefore, by theoretical approach, the compound 4-BP showed the more stabilizing interaction and activation energy values related to the interaction within the enzyme and the oxidative reaction mechanism, respectively, which corroborates with experimental parameters obtained. The combination between experimental and theoretical approaches was essential to understand how the degradation potential of the HRP enzyme depends on the interactions between substrate and the active center cavity of the enzyme.

Understanding the Interaction Modes and Reactivity of Trimedoxime toward MmAChE Inhibited by Nerve Agents: Theoretical and Experimental Aspects. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21186510.

Abstract
Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are used as both chemical weapons and pesticides. However, these agents are very dangerous and toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. Thus, investigations with reactivators have been deeply developed in order to design new antidotes with better efficiency, as well as a greater spectrum of action in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivation process. With that in mind, in this work, we investigated the behavior of trimedoxime toward the Mus musculus acetylcholinesterase (MmAChE) inhibited by a range of nerve agents, such as chemical weapons. From experimental assays, reactivation percentages were obtained for the reactivation of different AChE–OP complexes. On the other hand, theoretical calculations were performed to assess the differences in interaction modes and the reactivity of trimedoxime within the AChE active site. Comparing theoretical and experimental data, it is possible to notice that the oxime, in most cases, showed better reactivation percentages at higher concentrations, with the best result for the reactivation of the AChE–VX adduct. From this work, it was revealed that the mechanistic process contributes most to the oxime efficiency than the interaction in the site. In this way, this study is important to better understand the reactivation process through trimedoxime, contributing to the proposal of novel antidotes.

Abstract
Chiral organophosphorus pollutants are existed ubiquitously in the ecological environment, but the enantioselective toxicities of these nerve agents to humans and their molecular bases have not been fully elucidated. Using experimental and computational approaches, this story was to explore the neurotoxic response process of the target acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to chiral phenthoate and further decipher the microscopic mechanism of such toxicological effect at the enantiomeric level. The results showed that the toxic reaction of AChE with chiral phenthoate exhibited significant enantioselectivity, and (R)-phenthoate (K=1.486 × 105 M-1) has a bioaffinity for the nerve enzyme nearly three times that of (S)-phenthoate (K=4.503 × 104 M-1). Dynamic research outcomes interpreted the wet experiments, and the inherent conformational flexibility of the target enzyme has a great influence on the enantioselective neurotoxicological action processes, especially reflected in the conformational changes of the three key loop regions (i.e. residues His-447, Gly-448, and Tyr-449; residues Gly-122, Phe-123, and Tyr-124; and residues Thr-75, Leu-76, and Tyr-77) around the reaction patch. This was supported by the quantitative results of conformational studies derived from circular dichroism spectroscopy (α-helix: 34.7%→30.2%/31.6%; β-sheet: 23.6%→19.5%/20.7%; turn: 19.2%→22.4%/21.9%; and random coil: 22.5%→27.9%/25.8%). Meanwhile, via analyzing the modes of toxic action and free energies, we can find that (R)-phenthoate has a strong inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of AChE, as compared with (S)-phenthoate, and electrostatic energy (-23.79/-17.77 kJ mol-1) played a critical role in toxicological reactions. These points were the underlying causes of chiral phenthoate displaying different degrees of enantioselective neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the key enzyme responsible for deactivating the ACh neurotransmitter. Irreversible or prolonged inhibition of AChE, therefore, elevates synaptic ACh leading to serious central and peripheral adverse effects which fall under the cholinergic syndrome spectra. To combat the toxic effects of some AChEI, such as organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents, many compounds with reactivator effects have been developed. Within the most outstanding reactivators, the substances denominated oximes stand out, showing good performance for reactivating AChE and restoring the normal synaptic acetylcholine (ACh) levels. This review was developed with the purpose of covering the new advances in AChE reactivation. Over the past years, researchers worldwide have made efforts to identify and develop novel active molecules. These researches have been moving farther into the search for novel agents that possess better effectiveness of reactivation and broad-spectrum reactivation against diverse OP agents. In addition, the discovery of ways to restore AChE in the aged form is also of great importance. This review will allow us to evaluate the major advances made in the discovery of new acetylcholinesterase reactivators by reviewing all patents published between 2016 and 2019. This is an important step in continuing this remarkable research so that new studies can begin.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is usually accompanied by aging, increasingly being the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques (Aβ) resulting from impaired amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, together with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau protein hyperphosphorylation. The exacerbated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggers the process called oxidative stress, which increases neuronal cell abnormalities, most often followed by apoptosis, leading to cognitive dysfunction and dementia. In this context, the development of new therapies for the AD treatment is necessary. Antioxidants, for instance, are promising species for prevention and treatment because they are capable of disrupting the radical chain reaction, reducing the production of ROS. These species have also proven to be adjunctive to conventional treatments making them more effective. In this sense, several recently published works have focused their attention on oxidative stress and antioxidant species. Therefore, this review seeks to show the most relevant findings of these studies.

Abstract
New uncharged conjugates of 6-methyluracil derivatives with imidazole-2-aldoxime and 1,2,4-triazole-3-hydroxamic acid units were synthesized and studied as reactivators of organophosphate-inhibited cholinesterase. Using paraoxon (POX) as a model organophosphate, it was shown that 6-methyluracil derivatives linked with hydroxamic acid are able to reactivate POX-inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in vitro. The reactivating efficacy of one compound (5b) is lower than that of pyridinium-2-aldoxime (2-PAM). Meanwhile, unlike 2-PAM, in vivo study showed that the lead compound 5b is able: (1) to reactivate POX-inhibited AChE in the brain; (2) to decrease death of neurons and, (3) to prevent memory impairment in rat model of POX-induced neurodegeneration.
