Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has posed a great threat to the lives of people around the world. To date, safer and more cost-effective therapy for GC is lacking. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may provide some new options for this. Guiqi Baizhu Formula (GQBZF), a classic TCM formula, has been extensively used to treat GC, while its bioactive components and therapeutic mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the underlying mechanisms of GQBZF in treating GC by integrative approach of chemical bioinformatics. GQBZF lyophilized powder (0.0625 mg/mL, 0.125 mg/mL) significantly attenuated the expression of p-IGF1R, PI3K, p-PDK1, p-VEGFR2 to inhibit the proliferation, migration and induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, which was consistent with the network pharmacology. Additionally, atractylenolide Ⅰ, quercetin, glycyrol, physcione and aloe-emodin, emodin, kaempferol, licoflavone A were found to be the key compounds of GQBZF regulating IGF1R and VEGFR2, respectively. And among which, glycyrol and emodin were determined as key active compounds against GC by farther vitro experiments and LC/MS. Meanwhile, we also found that glycyrol inhibited MKN-45 cells proliferation and enhanced apoptosis, which might be related to the inhibition of IGF1R/PI3K/PDK1, and emodin could significantly attenuate the MKN-45 cells migration, which might be related to the inhibition of VEGFR2-related signaling pathway. These results were verified again by molecular dynamics simulation and binding interaction pattern. In summary, this study suggested that GQBZF and its key active components (glycyrol and emodin) can suppress IGF1R/PI3K/PDK1 and VEGFR2-related signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and migration and inducing apoptosis. These findings provided an important strategy for developing new agents and facilitated clinical use of GQBZF against GC.

Molecular dynamics-based insight of VEGFR-2 kinase domain: a combined study of pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking and dynamics. J Mol Model 2022; 29:17. [PMID: 36550239 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-022-05427-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase by small molecules has become a promising target in the treatment of cancer. OBJECTIVE In this study, we approached pharmacophore modeling coupled with a structure-based virtual screening workflow to identify the potent inhibitors. METHODS The top selected hit compounds have been rescored using the MM/GBSA approach. To understand the molecular reactivity, electronic properties, and stability of those inhibitors, we have employed density functional theory and molecular dynamics. Following that, the best 21 hit compounds have been further post-processed with a Quantum ligand partial charge-based rescoring process and further validated by implementing molecular dynamics simulation. RESULTS The ten hit compounds have been hypothesized and considered as potent inhibitors of VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase. This study also signifies the contribution of QM-based ligand partial charge, which is more accurate in predicting reliable free binding energy and filtering large ligand libraries to hit optimization, rather than assigning those of the force field-based method. From the binding pattern analysis of all the complexes, amino acids, such as Glu885, Cys919, Cys1045, Thr916, Thr919, and Asp1046, were found to have comprehensive interaction with the hit compounds. CONCLUSION Hence, this could prove to be useful as a potential inhibition site of the VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase domain for future researchers. Moreover, this study also emphasizes the conformational changes upon ATP binding, based on either the receptor's rigidity or flexibility.

Abstract
Activity cliffs (ACs) are defined as pairs of structurally similar compounds with large difference in their potencies against certain biotarget. We recently proposed that potent AC members induce significant entropically-driven conformational modifications of the target that unveil additional binding interactions, while their weakly-potent counterparts are enthalpically-driven binders with little influence on the protein target. We herein propose to extract pharmacophores for ACs-infested target(s) from molecular dynamics (MD) frames of purely "enthalpic" potent binder(s) complexed within the particular target. Genetic function algorithm/machine learning (GFA/ML) can then be employed to search for the best possible combination of MD pharmacophore(s) capable of explaining bioactivity variations within a list of inhibitors. We compared the performance of this approach with established ligand-based and structure-based methods. Kinase inserts domain receptor (KDR) was used as a case study. KDR plays a crucial role in angiogenic signaling and its inhibitors have been approved in cancer treatment. Interestingly, GFA/ML selected, MD-based, pharmacophores were of comparable performances to ligand-based and structure-based pharmacophores. The resulting pharmacophores and QSAR models were used to capture hits from the national cancer institute list of compounds. The most active hit showed anti-KDR IC50 of 2.76 µM.

Abstract
Herein is reported the first example of ring opening and skeletal reconstruction of 3-vinyl benzofuranone-chromones 1 as versatile synthons, which can react with ammonia or primary aliphatic amines as binucleophiles, for the eco-friendly and atom-economical synthesis of diverse and functionalized 2-pyridones 3 with potential biological activity in good to excellent yields (77-93%). When using optically active 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine 2 as the binucleophile, the in situ generated 2-pyridone intermediates are successfully transformed to novel optically active functionalized imidazoline derivatives 4 with high efficiency (up to 87% yield). In particular, this is the first report on the catalyst-free intramolecular cyclization occurring between an amide and a primary aliphatic amine for the construction of imidazoline molecules.

Abstract
The conceptual development of aromaticity is essential to rationalize and understand the structure and behavior of aromatic heterocycles. This work addresses for the first time, the interconnection between aromaticity and sulfur/selenium centered hydrogen bonds (S/SeCHBs) involved in representative heterocycle models of canonical nucleobases (2-Pyridone; 2PY) and its sulfur (2-Thiopyridone; 2TPY) and selenium (2-Selenopyridone; 2SePY) analogs. The nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) and gauge induced magnetic current density (GIMIC) values suggested significant reduction of aromaticity upon replacement of exocyclic carbonyl oxygen with sulfur and selenium. However, we observed two-fold (57 %) and three-fold (80 %) enhancement in the aromaticity for 2TPY dimer, and 2SePY dimer, respectively which are connected through S/SeCHBs. Aromaticity enhancement was also noticed in 1 : 1 H-bonded complexes (heterodimers), micro hydrated clusters and for bulk hydration. It is expected that exocyclic S and Se incorporation into heterocycles without compromising aromatic loss would definitely reinforce to design new supramolecular building blocks via S/SeCH-bonded complexes.

Abstract
Although stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT) kinase is responsible for various malignant human cancers, the presence of constitutively active gain-of-function mutants has made it difficult to discover new anticancer agents using c-KIT as the target protein. To identify the common inhibitors of wild-type c-KIT and the most abundant gain-of-function mutant (D816V), the virtual screening of natural products was performed for the two target proteins in parallel with the scoring function improved by implementing a sophisticated solvation free energy term. As a result, four common inhibitors of natural origin are found with biochemical potencies ranging from low micromolar to submicromolar levels. The results of extensive docking simulations show that although the natural-product inhibitors establish weaker hydrophobic interactions with the D816V mutant than with the wild type, they exhibit a little higher inhibitory activity for the former than the latter by strengthening the hydrogen-bond interactions to a sufficient extent. Of the four natural-product inhibitors, (Z)-6-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one (3) is anticipated to serve as a new molecular core for the structure-activity relationship studies to optimize the biochemical potencies because it exhibits good inhibitory activity against both the wild type and D816V mutant despite its low molecular weight (268.3 amu).

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, (VEGFR-2), is a key element in angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels are formed, and is thus an important pharmaceutical target. Here, 3-D quantitative structure-activity relationship (3-D QSAR) were used to build a quantitative screening and pharmacophore model of the VEGFR-2 receptors for design of inhibitors with improved activities. Most of available experimental data information has been used as training set to derive optimized and fully cross-validated eight mono-probe and a multi-probe quantitative models. Notable is the use of 262 molecules, aligned following both structure-based and ligand-based protocols, as external test set confirming the 3-D QSAR models' predictive capability and their usefulness in design new VEGFR-2 inhibitors. From a survey on literature, this is the first generation of a wide-ranging computational medicinal chemistry application on VEGFR2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is a spice having medicinal properties with pungent and bitter odour. It is used since thousands of years to treat various ailments, including cancer mainly in South Asia and Middle Eastern regions. Substantial evidence in multiple research studies emphasizes about the therapeutic importance of bioactive principles of N. sativa in cancer bioassays; however, the exact mechanism of their anti-tumour action is still to be fully comprehended. The current study makes an attempt in this direction by exploiting the advancements in the Insilico reverse screening technology. In this study, three different Insilico Reverse Screening approaches have been employed for identifying the putative molecular targets of the bioactive principles in Black cumin (thymoquinone, alpha-hederin, dithymoquinone and thymohydroquinone) relevant to its anti-tumour functionality. The identified set of putative targets is further compared with the existing set of experimentally validated targets, so as to estimate the performance of insilico platforms. Subsequently, molecular docking simulations studies were performed to elucidate the molecular interactions between the bioactive compounds & their respective identified targets. The molecular interactions of one such target identified i.e. VEGF2 along with thymoquinone depicted one H-bond formed at the catalytic site. The molecular targets identified in this study need further confirmatory tests on cancer bioassays, in order to justify the research findings from Insilico platforms. This study has brought to light the effectiveness of usage of Insilico Reverse Screening protocols to characterise the un-identified target-ome of poly pharmacological bioactive agents in spices.

Abstract
Src kinase, a prototype member of the Src family of kinases (SFKs), is over-expressed in various human tumors, and has become a target for anticancer drug design. In this perspective, a series of eighteen 2-pyridone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their c-Src kinase inhibitory activity. Among them, eight compounds exhibited c-Src kinase inhibitory activity with IC50 value of less than 25μM. Compound 1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-5-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (36) exhibited the highest c-Src kinase inhibition with an IC50 value of 12.5μM. Furthermore, the kinase inhibitory activity of compound 36 was studied against EGFR, MAPK and PDK, however no significant activity was observed at the highest tested concentration (300μM). These results provide insights for further optimization of this scaffold for designing the next generation of 2-pyridone derivatives as candidate Src kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
We investigated the use of infrared vibrational frequency of ligands as a potential novel molecular descriptor in three different molecular target and chemical series. The vibrational energy of a ligand was approximated from the sum of infrared (IR) absorptions of each functional group within a molecule and normalized by its molecular weight (MDIR). Calculations were performed on a set of 4-aminoquinazolines with similar docking scores for the VEGFR2/KDR receptor. 4-Aminoquinazolines with MDIR values ranging 192-196 provided compounds with KDR inhibitory activity. The correlation of KDR inhibitory activity was similarly observed in a separate chemical series, the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Initial exploration of this molecular descriptor supports a tool for rapid lead optimization in the 4-aminoquinazoline chemical series and a potential method for scaffold hopping in pursuit of new inhibitors.

Abstract
The utility of copper-mediated cross-coupling reactions has been significantly increased by the development of mild reaction conditions and the ability to employ catalytic amounts of copper. The use of diamine-based ligands has been important in these advances and in this review we discuss these systems, including the choice of reaction conditions and applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products and designed materials.

Abstract
5-(Hetero)aryl-3-(4-carboxamidophenyl)-2-aminopyridine inhibitors of CHK2 were identified from high throughput screening of a kinase-focussed compound library. Rapid exploration of the hits through straightforward chemistry established structure-activity relationships and a proposed ATP-competitive binding mode which was verified by X-ray crystallography of several analogues bound to CHK2. Variation of the 5-(hetero)aryl substituent identified bicyclic dioxolane and dioxane groups which improved the affinity and the selectivity of the compounds for CHK2 versus CHK1. The 3-(4-carboxamidophenyl) substituent could be successfully replaced by acyclic omega-aminoalkylamides, which made additional polar interactions within the binding site and led to more potent inhibitors of CHK2. Compounds from this series showed activity in cell-based mechanistic assays for inhibition of CHK2.

Abstract
Type-II kinase inhibitors represent a class of chemicals that trap their target kinases in an inactive, so-called DFG-out state, occupying a hydrophobic pocket adjacent to the ATP binding site. These compounds are often more specific than those that target active DFG-in kinase conformations. Unfortunately, the discovery of novel type-II scaffolds presents a considerable challenge, partially because the lack of compatible kinase structures makes structure-based methods inapplicable. We present a computational protocol for converting multiple available DFG-in structures of various kinases (approximately 70% of mammalian structural kinome) into accurate and specific models of their type-II bound state. The models, described as deletion-of-loop Asp-Phe-Gly-in (DOLPHIN) kinase models, demonstrate exceptional performance in various inhibitor discovery applications, including compound pose prediction, screening, and in silico activity profiling. Given the abundance of the DFG-in structures, the presented approach opens possibilities for kinome-wide discovery of specific molecules targeting inactive kinase states.

Abstract
The title compound, C13H18N2O4, crystallizes as discrete molecules associated as N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers disposed about a crystallographic inversion centre. The structure is the first solid-state structure for a 3-acetylpyridone without C-4 to C-6 substituents. The amide subsituent at C-3 is coplanar with the pyridone ring, while the tert-butyl ester group is orthogonal to the pyridine ring. The amide and ester carbonyl O atoms are not involved in strong hydrogen bonding with only a number of intramolecular and intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions apparent in the structure.
