Abstract
The colchicine binding site on tubulin has been widely acknowledged as an attractive target for anticancer drug exploitation. Here, we reported the structural optimization of the lead compound 4, which was proved in our previous work as a colchicine binding site inhibitor (CBSI). Based on docking researches for the active binding conformation of compound 4, a series of novel 6-aryl-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole derivatives (9a-9x) were developed by replacing a CH group in the 1H-benzo[d]imidazole skeleton of compound 4 with a nitrogen atom as a hydrogen bond acceptor. Among them, compound 9a showed the strongest antiproliferative activity with IC50 values ranging from 14 to 45 nM against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, SGC-7901 and A549), lower than that of compound 4. Mechanistic studies indicated that compound 9a could inhibit tubulin polymerization, destroy the microtubule skeleton, block the cell cycle in G2/M phase, induce cancer cell apoptosis, prevent cancer cell migration and colony formation. Moreover, compound 9a significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo without observable toxicity in the mice 4T1 xenograft tumor model. In conclusion, this report shows a successful case of the structure-based design approach of a potent tubulin polymerization inhibitor for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sixteen novel 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds with different amines or substituted piperazine moieties were designed, synthesized, and tested using various methods. Potential interactions were assessed by docking new compounds in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of the PI3Kγ enzyme (PDB code: 7JWE) by nucleophilic substitution or solvent-free/neat fusion for docked compound synthesis. Final 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds were characterized by direct probe gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), proton (1H-NMR), carbon-13 (13C-NMR), and attenuated total reflectance-infrared Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR). The synthesized compounds were investigated for anticancer activities on lung cancer (A549) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. The compounds' PI3Kγ inhibition was evaluated at a 100 μM concentration. 4-Nitroaniline and piperazine-4-nitroaniline combination in OMS5 and OMS14 reduced lung and breast cancer cell line growth. IC50 values for OMS5 and OMS14, the strongest compounds, ranged from 22.13 to 61.03 μM. OMS1 and OMS2 inhibited PI3Kγ at the highest rates (47 and 48%, respectively) at a 100 μM concentration. Results show that the PI3Kγ enzyme suppression is not the main mechanism behind these OMS5 and OMS14 anticancer effects. CDK2, Akt, mTOR, and p42/44 MAPK are affected. EGF receptor suppression matters. AKT1, AKT3, CDK1/cyclin B, PDK1 direct, PIK3CA E542 K/PIK3R1 (p110 α/p85 α), PIK3CD/PIK3R1 (p110 δ/p85 α), and PKN inhibition were measured to evaluate the possible mechanism of compound OMS14. PIK3CD/PIK3R1 (p110 δ/p85 α) is the most, with 65% inhibition, suggesting a possible mechanism of anticancer properties. Furthermore, the NCI 60-cell line inhibition demonstrates promising broad anticancer inhibition against numerous cancer cell lines of OMS5 and OMS14, which could be good lead compounds for future development.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzothiazole derivatives as potential anticancer and antiinflammatory agents. Front Chem 2024; 12:1384301. [PMID: 38562527 PMCID: PMC10982501 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1384301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Cancer, a significant global health concern, necessitates innovative treatments. The pivotal role of chronic inflammation in cancer development underscores the urgency for novel therapeutic strategies. Benzothiazole derivatives exhibit promise due to their distinctive structures and broad spectrum of biological effects. This study aims to explore new anti-tumor small molecule drugs that simultaneously anti-inflammatory and anticancer based on the advantages of benzothiazole frameworks. Methods: The compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for structure as well as purity and other related physicochemical properties. The effects of the compounds on the proliferation of human epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431) and human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (A549, H1299) were evaluated by MTT method. The effect of compounds on the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in mouse monocyte macrophages (RAW264.7) was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of compounds on apoptosis and cell cycle of A431 and A549 cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. The effect of compounds on A431 and A549 cell migration was evaluated by scratch wound healing assay. The effect of compounds on protein expression levels in A431 and A549 cells was assessed by Western Blot assay. The physicochemical parameters, pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity and drug similarity of the active compound were predicted using Swiss ADME and admetSAR web servers. Results: Twenty-five novel benzothiazole compounds were designed and synthesized, with their structures confirmed through spectrogram verification. The active compound 6-chloro-N-(4-nitrobenzyl) benzo[d] thiazol-2-amine (compound B7) was screened through a series of bioactivity assessments, which significantly inhibited the proliferation of A431, A549 and H1299 cancer cells, decreased the activity of IL-6 and TNF-α, and hindered cell migration. In addition, at concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 μM, B7 exhibited apoptosis-promoting and cell cycle-arresting effects similar to those of the lead compound 7-chloro-N-(2, 6-dichlorophenyl) benzo[d] thiazole-2-amine (compound 4i). Western blot analysis confirmed that B7 inhibited both AKT and ERK signaling pathways in A431 and A549 cells. The prediction results of ADMET indicated that B7 had good drug properties. Discussion: This study has innovatively developed a series of benzothiazole derivatives, with a focus on compound B7 due to its notable dual anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. B7 stands out for its ability to significantly reduce cancer cell proliferation in A431, A549, and H1299 cell lines and lower the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. These results position B7B7 as a promising candidate for dual-action cancer therapy. The study's mechanistic exploration, highlighting B7's simultaneous inhibition of the AKT and ERK pathways, offers a novel strategy for addressing both the survival mechanisms of tumor cells and the inflammatory milieu facilitating cancer progression.

Abstract
A mild photoredox catalyzed construction of sulfides, disulfides, selenides, sulfoxides and sulfones from unstrained ketone precursors is introduced. Combination of this deacylative process with SN 2 or coupling reactions provides novel and convenient modular strategies toward unsymmetrical or symmetric disulfides. Reactivity studies favor a bromine radical that initiates a HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) from the aminal intermediate resulting in expulsion of a C-centered radical that is intercepted to make C-S and C-Se bonds. Gram scale reactions, broad substrate scope and tolerance towards various functional groups render this method appealing for future applications in the synthesis of organosulfur and selenium complexes.

[PMID: 38305819 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-023-10799-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) is one of the most frequently dysregulated kinases known for their pivotal role in many oncogenic diseases. While the side effects linked to existing drugs against PI3Kα-induced cancers provide an avenue for further research, the significant structural conservation among PI3Ks makes it extremely difficult to develop new isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitors. Embracing this challenge, we herein designed a hybrid protocol by integrating machine learning (ML) with in silico drug-designing strategies. A deep learning classification model was developed and trained on the physicochemical descriptors data of known PI3Kα inhibitors and used as a screening filter for a database of small molecules. This approach led us to the prediction of 662 compounds showcasing appropriate features to be considered as PI3Kα inhibitors. Subsequently, a multiphase molecular docking was applied to further characterize the predicted hits in terms of their binding affinities and binding modes in the targeted cavity of the PI3Kα. As a result, a total of 12 compounds were identified whereas the best poses highlighted the efficiency of these ligands in maintaining interactions with the crucial residues of the protein to be targeted for the inhibition of associated activity. Notably, potential activity of compound 12 in counteracting PI3Kα function was found in a previous in vitro study. Following the drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic characterizations, six compounds (compounds 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 11) with suitable ADME-T profiles and promising bioavailability were selected. The mechanistic studies in dynamic mode further endorsed the potential of identified hits in blocking the ATP-binding site of the receptor with higher binding affinities than the native inhibitor, alpelisib (BYL-719), particularly the compounds 1, 2, and 11. These outcomes support the reliability of the developed classification model and the devised computational strategy for identifying new isoform-selective drug candidates for PI3Kα inhibition.

Abstract
Fangchinoline (Fan) are extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Stephania tetrandra S., which is a bis-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloids with anti-tumor activity. Therefore, 25 novel Fan derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer activity. In CCK-8 assay, these fangchinoline derivatives displayed higher proliferation inhibitory activity on six tumor cell lines than the parental compound. Compared to the parent Fan, compound 2h presented the anticancer activity against most cancer cells, especially A549 cells, with an IC50 value of 0.26 μM, which was 36.38-fold, and 10.61-fold more active than Fan and HCPT, respectively. Encouragingly, compound 2h showed low biotoxicity to the human normal epithelial cell BEAS-2b with an IC50 value of 27.05 μM. The results indicated compound 2h remarkably inhibited the cell migration by decreasing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression and inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells by arresting the G2/M cell cycle. Meanwhile, compound 2h could also induce A549 cell apoptosis by promoting endogenous pathways of mitochondrial regulation. In nude mice presented that the growth of tumor tissues was markedly inhibited by the consumption of compound 2h in a dose-dependent manner, and it was found that compound 2h could inhibit the mTOR/PI3K/AKT pathway in vivo. In docking analysis, high affinity interaction between 2h and PI3K was responsible for drastic kinase inhibition by the compound. To conclude, this derivative compound may be useful as a potent anti-cancer agent for treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
The modulation of autophagy has been presented as a very useful strategy in anticancer treatments. In this sense, the vanadium complex (VC) bis(2,2'-bipyridine)chlorooxovanadium(IV), [VO(bpy)2Cl], is known for its ability to induce autophagy in triple-negative breast cancer cells (TNBC). An excellent resource to investigate the role of VC in the induction of autophagy is to make use of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. However, until now, the scarcity of force field parameters for the VC prevented a reliable analysis. The autophagy signaling pathway starts with the PI3K protein and ends with ULK1. Therefore, in the first stage of this work, we developed a new AMBER force field for the VC (VCFF) from a quantum structure, obtained by DFT calculations. In the second stage, the VCFF was validated through structural analyses. From this, it was possible to investigate, through docking and MD (200 ns), the performance of the PI3K-VC and ULK1-VC systems (third stage). The analyses of this last stage involved RMSD, hydrogen bonds, RMSF and two pathways for the modulation of autophagy. In general, this work fills in the absence of force field parameters (FF) for VC by proposing an efficient and new FF, in addition to investigating, at the molecular level, how VC is able to induce autophagy in TNBC cells. This study encourages new parameterizations of metallic complexes and contributes to the understanding of the duality of autophagic processes.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
PI3Kδ is a lipid kinase which plays a key role in airway inflammatory conditions. Accordingly, the inhibition of PI3Kδ can be considered a valuable strategy for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this work, we describe our efforts to identify new PI3Kδ inhibitors following an "inhalation by design" strategy. Starting from the identification of a purine scaffold, we carried out a preliminary SAR expansion which led to the identification of a new hit characterized by a high enzymatic potency and moderate PI3Kδ selectivity. A subsequent optimization led to novel purine based derivatives with favorable in vitro ADME profiles, which might represent promising starting points for future development of new inhaled drug candidates.

Santos TMR, Tavares CA, Pereira AF, da Cunha EFF, Ramalho TC. Evaluation of autophagy inhibition to combat cancer: (vanadium complex)-protein interactions, parameterization, and validation of a new force field. J Mol Model 2023; 29:123. [PMID: 36995564 PMCID: PMC10061415 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-023-05530-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
Autophagy has drawn attention from the scientific community, mainly because of its significant advantages over chemotherapeutic processes. One of these advantages is its direct action on cancer cells, avoiding possible side effects, unlike chemotherapy, which reaches tumor cells and affects healthy cells in the body, leading to a great loss in the quality of life of patients. In this way, it is known that vanadium complex (VC) [VO(oda)(phen)] has proven inhibition effect on autophagy process in pancreatic cancer cells. Keeping that in mind, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can be considered excellent strategies to investigate the interaction of metal complexes and their biological targets. However, simulations of this type are strongly dependent on the appropriate choice of force field (FF). Therefore, this work proposes the development of AMBER FF parameters for VC, having a minimum energy structure as a starting point, obtained through DFT calculations with B3LYP/def2-TZVP level of theory plus ECP for the vanadium atom. An MD simulation in vacuum was performed to validate the developed FF. From the structural analyses, satisfying values of VC bond lengths and angles were obtained, where a good agreement with the experimental data and the quantum reference was found. The RMSD analysis showed an average of only 0.3%. Finally, we performed docking and MD (120 ns) simulations with explicit solvent between VC and PI3K. Overall, our findings encourage new parameterizations of metal complexes with significant biological applications, as well as allow to contribute to the elucidation of the complex process of autophagy.

Abstract
Efforts have been made to find an efficient scaffold (and its substitution) that can be used for the treatment of lung cancer via mTOR inhibition. A detailed literature search was carried out for previously reported mTOR inhibitors. The present review is focused on lung cancer; therefore, descriptions of some mTOR inhibitors that are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of lung cancer are provided. Based on previous research findings, tetrahydroquinoline was found to be the most efficient scaffold to be explored for the treatment of lung cancer. A possible efficient substitution of the tetrahydroquinoline scaffold could also be beneficial for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the major types of cancer around the world, and early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. New contrast agents (CAs), with reduced toxicology, are needed to improve diagnosis. One of the most promising Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) CA is based on rhenium conjugated with a benzothiazole derivate (ReABT). In this sense, DFT has been used to evaluate the best methodology for calculating the hyperfine coupling constant (Aiso) of ReABT. Then, a thermodynamic analysis was performed to confirm the stability of the complex. Furthermore, a docking study of ReABT at the enzyme PI3K active site and Aiso calculations of ReABT in the enzyme environment were carried out. The best methodology for the Aiso calculation of ReABT was using the M06L functional, SARC-ZORA-TZVP (for Re) and TZVP (for all other atoms) basis set, relativistic Hamiltonian, and the CPCM solvation model with water as the solvent which confirm that the relativistic effects are important for calculating the Aiso values. In addition, thermodynamic analysis indicates that ReABT presents a higher stability and a lower toxicity than Gd-based CAs. The docking studies point out that ReABT interacts with amino acids residues of alanine, aspartate, and lysine from the PI3K active site. Considering the enzyme environment, Aiso values decrease significantly. These findings indicate that the CA candidate ReABT could be a good candidate for a new contrast agent.

Abstract
This study reports the design and synthesis of novel dialkyl (4-amino-5H-chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)phosphonates as potential antitumor agents against A549 (lung cancer), DU-145 (prostate cancer), PC-3 (prostate cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer), cell lines evidenced from the in vitro antitumor studies performed by MTT assay (across 10-30 μM concentrations). The structural eminence of these synthesized molecules has emanated by designing the structural core by uniting the chromene, pyrimidine and phosphonate moieties into one, which has augmented their novelty and made them unreported. Further the deep structural activity relationship study investigations articulated that the title compounds are promising drug-like compounds and potential inhibitor of histidine amino acid residue present on the respective enzymatic proteins [3QJZ (A549), 3VHE (DU-145), 3V49 (PC-3), 3F81 (HeLa), & 3R7Q (MCF-7)] of the cell lines screened and are identified as responsible for the multi-faceted antitumor activities predicted in vitro. The obtained results were further supported by molecular docking studies, QSAR, ADMET, and bioactivity studies which have supported them as potential BBB penetrable molecules and proficient CNS active neuro-protective agents during drug delivery.

Insights into the value of statistical models, solvent, and relativistic effects for investigating Re complexes of 2-(4'-aminophenyl)benzothiazole: a potential spectroscopic probe. J Mol Model 2022; 28:154.

Abstract
Cancer affects a major part of the worldwide population, and, to minimize deaths, the diagnosis in the early stages of the disease is fundamental. Thus, to improve diagnosis and treatment new potential spectroscopic probes are crucial. Benzothiazole derivates present antitumor properties and are highly selective and interact strongly with the enzyme phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), which was associated with cell proliferation and breast cancer cells. In this paper, the rhenium shielding tensors (187Re(σ)) and hydrogen and carbon chemical shifts (1H(δ) and 13C(δ)) of the Re(CO)3(NNO) complex conjugated with 2-(4'-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (ReABT) were evaluated. A statistical HCA model was used to analyze the best DFT protocol to compute σ and δ values and to evaluate the relativistic effects, both in the basis set and Hamiltonian as well as the functionals M06L or PBE0. The best protocol was applied to obtain 187Re(σ) of the ReABT complex in different environments (gas phase, solution, and in the active site of the PI3K enzyme). The results point out that 187Re(σ) values of the ReABT complex change significantly when the complex is docked in the PI3K enzyme.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of PI3Kγ as a member of lipid kinases-enzymes, plays a crucial role in regulating immune cells through the generation of intracellular signals. Deregulation of this pathway is involved in several tumors. In this research, diverse sets of potent and selective isoform-specific PI3Kγ inhibitors whose drug-likeness was confirmed based on Lipinski’s rule of five were used in the modeling process. Genetic algorithm (GA)-based multivariate analysis was employed on the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of them. In this way, multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm, were used to QSAR models construction on 245 compounds with a wide range of pIC50 (5.23–9.32). The stability and robustness of the models have been evaluated by external and internal validation methods (R2 0.623–0.642, RMSE 0.464–0.473, F 40.114, Q2LOO 0.600, and R2y-random 0.011). External verification using a wide variety of structures out of the training and test sets show that ANN is superior to MLR. The descriptors entered into the model are in good agreement with the X-ray structures of target-ligand complexes; so the model is interpretable. Finally, Williams plot-based analysis was applied to simultaneously compare the inhibitory activity and structural similarity of training, test and validation sets.

Abstract
Based on indole scaffold, a potent and selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor, namely FD223, was developed by the bioisosteric replacement drug discovery approach and studied for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In vitro studies revealed that FD223 displays high potency (IC50 = 1 nM) and selectivity (29-51 fold over other PI3K isoforms) against PI3Kδ, and exhibits efficient inhibition of the proliferation of AML cell lines (MOLM-16, HL-60, EOL-1 and KG-1) by suppressing p-AKT Ser473 thus causing G1 phase arrest during the cell cycle. Further given the favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of FD223, in vivo studies were evaluated using xenograft model in nude mice, confirming its significant antitumor efficacy meanwhile with no observable toxicity. All these results are comparable to the positive group of Idelalisib (CAL-101), indicating that FD223 has potential for further development as a promising PI3Kδ inhibitor for the treatment of leukemia such as AML.

Abstract
Rare diseases affect a small part of the population, and the most affected are children. Because of the low availability of patients for testing, the pharmaceutical industry cannot develop drugs for the diagnosis of many of these orphan diseases. In this sense, the use of benzothiazole compounds that are highly selective and can act as spectroscopy probes, especially the compound 2-(4'-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (ABT), has been highlighted. This article reports the design of potential contrast agents based on ABT and iron to develop a new material with an efficient mechanism to raise the relaxation rate, facilitating diagnosis. The ABT/δ-FeOOH hybrid material was prepared by grafting (N-(4'-aminophenyl) benzothiazole-2-bromoacetamide) on the surface of the iron oxyhydroxide particles. FTIR spectra confirmed the material formations of the hybrid material ABT/δ-FeOOH. SEM analysis checked the covering of nanoflakes' surfaces in relation to the morphology of the samples. The theoretical calculations test a better binding mode of compound with iron oxyhydroxide. Theoretical findings show the radical capture mechanism in the stabilization of this new material. In this context, Fe3+ ions are an electron acceptor from the organic phase.

Abstract
Cancer treatment is one of the major public health issues in the world. Tetrandrine (Tet) and fangchinoline (d-Tet) are two bis-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloids extracted from Stephania tetrandra S. Moore, and their antitumor activities have been confirmed. However, the effective dose of Tet and d-Tet were much higher than that of the positive control and failed to meet clinical standards. Therefore, in this study, as a continuation of our previous work to study and develop high-efficiency and low-toxic anti-tumor lead compounds, twenty new Tet and d-Tet derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents against six cancer cell lines (H460, H520, HeLa, HepG-2, MCF-7, SW480 cell lines) and BEAS-2B normal cells by CCK-8 analysis. Ten derivatives showed better cytotoxic effects than the parent fangchinoline, of which 4g showed the strongest cell growth inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.59 μM against A549 cells. Subsequently, the antitumor mechanism of 4g was studied by flow cytometry, Hoechst 33258, JC-1 staining, cell scratch, transwell migration, and Western blotting assays. These results showed that compound 4g could inhibit A549 cell proliferation by arresting the G2/M cell cycle and inhibiting cell migration and invasion by reducing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. Meanwhile, 4g could induce apoptosis of A549 cells through the intrinsic pathway regulated by mitochondria. In addition, compound 4g inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt and mTOR, suggesting a correlation between blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and the above antitumor activities. These results suggest that compound 4g may be a future drug for the development of new potential drug candidates against lung cancer.

Abstract
Introduction: RIP1 kinase is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that has recently emerged as a central regulator of TNF-α dependent programmed necrosis (necroptosis), an inflammatory form of cell death, with important roles in inflammation and neurodegeneration. Small molecule RIP1 kinase inhibitors may provide new opportunities for treating a variety of autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases, among others, and thus have attracted widespread drug development efforts and a corresponding large amount of patent activity in recent years. Areas covered: This review focuses on the patent literature covering small molecule inhibitors of RIP1 kinase from 2016-present. Expert opinion: Inhibition of programmed necrosis (necroptosis) by RIP1 kinase inhibitors is a new field that has attracted widespread recent interest as a possible therapeutic means to treat a number of diseases in the inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and oncology areas. The interest in the therapeutic potential of RIP1kinase is evidenced by more than 40 small molecule patent applications published since 2016. To date, only a few RIP1 kinase inhibitors have entered the clinic. An understanding of the optimal clinical setting, in terms of dosing and disease indications for RIP1 inhibition, will require further clinical readouts as the current inhibitors progress and additional molecules enter into full development.

Abstract
Rapamycin and their derivatives known as rapalogs were the first-generation mTOR inhibitors which interacted with mTORC1 but not with the mTORC2 protein. Second-generation inhibitors could bind with both and showed excellent anti-proliferative activity. Our aim was to design novel mTOR inhibitors which could bind at both the allosteric and the kinase site. The FRB domain is present in both the mTORC1 and mTORC2 protein complexes. We have employed e-pharmacophore-guided fragment-based design to develop novel mTOR inhibitors. The affinity of designed molecules at both the sites was analysed using molecular docking in extra precision mode. The atom-based 3D-QSAR model was developed to predict the activity while the fingerprint-based 2D-QSAR model was employed to refine an identified hit as potent dual mTOR inhibitor. Ligand ASK23 showed a docking score of -15.452 kcal/mol at the allosteric site (PDB ID 5GPG) while ASK38 showed a docking score of -11.535 kcal/mol at the kinase site (PDB ID 4JT6). Ligand ASK12 showed binding energy of -106.23 kcal/mol at the allosteric site. Refined molecule ASK12a from ASK12 showed the highest predicted activity (pIC50: 6.512). The stability of the best hits and receptor complex was analysed using molecular dynamics simulation studies. Herein we report five potential mTOR dual inhibitors based on the predicted activity, drug-likeness analysis and off-target effects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on pharmacophore-guided fragment-based drug design for mTOR inhibitors. This design strategy can be used for the rational drug design against other proteins for which only apo-structures are available. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

First Attempts of the Use of 195Pt NMR of Phenylbenzothiazole Complexes as Spectroscopic Technique for the Cancer Diagnosis. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24213970. [PMID: 31684009 PMCID: PMC6864663 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24213970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Platinum complexes have been studied for cancer treatment for several decades. Furthermore, another important platinum characteristic is related to its chemical shifts, in which some studies have shown that the 195Pt chemical shifts are very sensitive to the environment, coordination sphere, and oxidation state. Based on this relevant feature, Pt complexes can be proposed as potential probes for NMR spectroscopy, as the chemical shifts values will be different in different tissues (healthy and damaged) Therefore, in this paper, the main goal was to investigate the behavior of Pt chemical shifts in the different environments. Calculations were carried out in vacuum, implicit solvent, and inside the active site of P13K enzyme, which is related with breast cancer, using the density functional theory (DFT) method. Moreover, the investigation of platinum complexes with a selective moiety can contribute to early cancer diagnosis. Accordingly, the Pt complexes selected for this study presented a selective moiety, the 2-(4′aminophenyl)benzothiazole derivative. More specifically, two Pt complexes were used herein: One containing chlorine ligands and one containing water in place of chlorine. Some studies have shown that platinum complexes coordinated to chlorine atoms may suffer hydrolyses inside the cell due to the low chloride ion concentration. Thus, the same calculations were performed for both complexes. The results showed that both complexes presented different chemical shift values in the different proposed environments. Therefore, this paper shows that platinum complexes can be a potential probe in biological systems, and they should be studied not only for cancer treatment, but also for diagnosis.

Abstract
Background:
There is a great unmet medical need for new anticancer small molecule
therapeutics. Exhaustive literature review suggests that benzothiazole derivatives have good potential
to exhibit anticancer activity. Compounds that inhibit the kinase activity of EGFR are of potential
interest as new antitumor agent.
Objective:
To design, synthesize and carry out in silico along with biological evaluation of 2-
substituted benzothiazole compounds with EGFR inhibitory activity.
Methods:
Benzothiazole derivatives designed from molecular docking method for potential EGFR
tyrosine kinase inhibition have been synthesized based on the docking results and characterized. Insilico
studies were carried out to understand the mode of EGFR enzyme inhibition by our molecules.
As a preliminary study, these compounds were first screened for antioxidant activity and then for
anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines and A549 cell line.
Results:
Compound B5 showed potent anticancer activity on MCF-7 cell line with IC50 value of
9.7µM and compound B8 showed significant anticancer activity on A549 cell line with IC50 value of
49.7μM in comparison with the standard drug Doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.4µM on MCF-7 and 1.0µM on
A549 cell lines). In EGFR inhibitory activity B8 showed maximum activity on A549 cell line by
inactivating 69.10% of EGFR phosphorylation and B7 showed maximum activity on MCF-7 cell line
by inactivating 41.90% of EGFR phosphorylation in comparison with the reference drug Gefitinib.
Molecular dynamics simulation studies suggest that benzothiazole derivative could also bind to
allosteric site and inhibit the EGFR enzyme activity.
Conclusion:
Reported compounds have shown potent anticancer activity through EGFR inhibition
by possibly binding at allosteric site.

Abstract
Ca2+-dependent secretory granule fusion with the plasma membrane is the final step for the exocytic release of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, and peptide hormones. Secretory cells use a similar protein machinery at late steps in the regulated secretory pathway, employing protein isoforms from the Rab, Sec1/Munc18, Munc13/CAPS, SNARE, and synaptotagmin protein families. However, no small-molecule inhibitors of secretory granule exocytosis that target these proteins are currently available but could have clinical utility. Here we utilized a high-throughput screen of a 25,000-compound library that identified 129 small-molecule inhibitors of Ca2+-triggered secretory granule exocytosis in RBL-2H3 mast cells. These inhibitors broadly fell into six different chemical classes, and follow-up permeable cell and liposome fusion assays identified the target for one class of these inhibitors. A family of 2-aminobenzothiazoles (termed benzothiazole exocytosis inhibitors or bexins) was found to inhibit mast cell secretory granule fusion by acting on a Ca2+-dependent, C2 domain–containing priming factor, Munc13-4. Our findings further indicated that bexins interfere with Munc13-4–membrane interactions and thereby inhibit Munc13-4–dependent membrane fusion. We conclude that bexins represent a class of specific secretory pathway inhibitors with potential as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Polypharmacology has been increasingly advocated for the therapeutic intervention in complex pathological conditions, exemplified by cancer. Although kinase inhibitors (KIs) have revolutionized the treatment for certain types of malignancies, some major medical needs remain unmet due to the relentless advance of drug resistance and insufficient efficacy of mono-target KIs. Hence, "multiple targets, multi-dimensional activities" represents an emerging paradigm for innovative anti-cancer drug discovery. Over recent years, considerable leaps have been made in pursuit of kinase-centric polypharmacological anti-cancer therapeutics, providing avenues to tackling the limitation of mono-target KIs. In the review, we summarize the clinically important mechanisms inducing KI resistance and depict a landscape of recent medicinal chemistry efforts on exploring kinase-centric polypharmacological anti-cancer agents that targeting multiple cancer-related processes. In parallel, some inevitable challenges are emphasized for the sake of more accurate and efficient drug discovery in the field.

Combining properties of different classes of PI3Kα inhibitors to understand the molecular features that confer selectivity. Biochem J 2017; 474:2261-2276.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are major regulators of many cellular functions, and hyperactivation of PI3K cell signalling pathways is a major target for anticancer drug discovery. PI3Kα is the isoform most implicated in cancer, and our aim is to selectively inhibit this isoform, which may be more beneficial than concurrent inhibition of all Class I PI3Ks. We have used structure-guided design to merge high-selectivity and high-affinity characteristics found in existing compounds. Molecular docking, including the prediction of water-mediated interactions, was used to model interactions between the ligands and the PI3Kα affinity pocket. Inhibition was tested using lipid kinase assays, and active compounds were tested for effects on PI3K cell signalling. The first-generation compounds synthesized had IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) values >4 μM for PI3Kα yet were selective for PI3Kα over the other Class I isoforms (β, δ and γ). The second-generation compounds explored were predicted to better engage the affinity pocket through direct and water-mediated interactions with the enzyme, and the IC50 values decreased by ∼30-fold. Cell signalling analysis showed that some of the new PI3Kα inhibitors were more active in the H1047R mutant bearing cell lines SK-OV-3 and T47D, compared with the E545K mutant harbouring MCF-7 cell line. In conclusion, we have used a structure-based design approach to combine features from two different compound classes to create new PI3Kα-selective inhibitors. This provides new insights into the contribution of different chemical units and interactions with different parts of the active site to the selectivity and potency of PI3Kα inhibitors.

Abstract
The polylactic-co-glycolic acid polyethylene glycol conjugated with cell penetrating peptide R7 (PLGA-PEG-R7)/polysulfadimethoxine-folate nanoparticles loaded with docetaxel (DTX) and GDC0941 (R7/PSD-Fol NPs) were prepared to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) and enhance the antitumor activity. First, polysulfadimethoxine-folate was synthesized to construct the R7/PSD-Fol NPs. The R7/PSD-Fol NPs were prepared with the abilities of effective entrapment and drug loading. Due to the pH-sensitive effect of PSD-folate, the releasing of DTX and GDC0941 from the R7/PSD-Fol NPs was lower in pH 7.4 buffer solution than that in pH 5.0 buffer solution. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of MCF-7 and resistant to doxorubicin (MCF-7/Adr) cells illustrated the cytotoxicity of R7/PSD-Fol nanoparticles by using the MTT method. The uptake of R7/PSD-Fol NPs was visualized by using the fluorescence of Rh-123 to detect the targeting effect of folate on the surface of R7/PSD-Fol NPs. The results of the cell apoptosis and the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were adopted to show the cytotoxicity of the R7/PSD-Fol NPs on MCF-7/Adr cells. The Western blot revealed the inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway in MCF-7/Adr cells induced by R7/PSD-Fol NPs. Finally, both in vivo distribution and in vivo antitumor showed the R7/PSD-Fol NPs displayed the better distribution at tumor site and the stronger suppression of tumor growth in the tumor bearing nude mice compared with control group. It was concluded that R7/PSD-Fol NPs loaded with DTX and GDC0941 could overcome MDR and enhance the antitumor effect further.

Abstract
There is a continued desire in biomedical research to reduce the number and duration of design cycles required to optimize lead compounds into high-quality chemical probes or safe and efficacious drug candidates. The insightful application of impactful molecular design elements is one approach toward achieving this goal. The replacement of a CH group with a N atom in aromatic and heteroaromatic ring systems can have many important effects on molecular and physicochemical properties and intra- and intermolecular interactions that can translate to improved pharmacological profiles. In this Perspective, the "necessary nitrogen atom" is shown to be a versatile high-impact design element for multiparameter optimization, wherein ≥10-, 100-, or 1000-fold improvement in a variety of key pharmacological parameters can be realized.

Abstract
Optimization of the potency and pharmacokinetic profile of 2,3,4-trisubstituted quinoline, 4, led to the discovery of two potent, selective, and orally bioavailable PI3Kδ inhibitors, 6a (AM-0687) and 7 (AM-1430). On the basis of their improved profile, these analogs were selected for in vivo pharmacodynamic (PD) and efficacy experiments in animal models of inflammation. The in vivo PD studies, which were carried out in a mouse pAKT inhibition animal model, confirmed the observed potency of 6a and 7 in biochemical and cellular assays. Efficacy experiments in a keyhole limpet hemocyanin model in rats demonstrated that administration of either 6a or 7 resulted in a strong dose-dependent reduction of IgG and IgM specific antibodies. The excellent in vitro and in vivo profiles of these analogs make them suitable for further development.
