Abstract
The marine polyarsenical metabolite arsenicin A is the landmark of a series of natural and synthetic molecules characterized by an adamantane-like tetraarsenic cage. Arsenicin A and related polyarsenicals have been evaluated for their antitumor effects in vitro and have been proven more potent than the FDA-approved arsenic trioxide. In this context, we have expanded the chemical space of polyarsenicals related to arsenicin A by synthesizing dialkyl and dimethyl thio-analogs, the latter characterized with the support of simulated NMR spectra. In addition, the new natural arsenicin D, the scarcity of which in the Echinochalina bargibanti extract had previously limited its full structural characterization, has been identified by synthesis. The dialkyl analogs, which present the adamantane-like arsenicin A cage substituted with either two methyl, ethyl, or propyl chains, were efficiently and selectively produced and evaluated for their activity on glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), a promising therapeutic target in glioblastoma treatment. These compounds inhibited the growth of nine GSC lines more potently than arsenic trioxide, with GI50 values in the submicromolar range, both under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and presented high selectivity toward non-tumor cell lines. The diethyl and dipropyl analogs, which present favorable physical-chemical and ADME parameters, had the most promising results.

Abstract
New therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma treatment, especially tackling the tumour's glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) component, are an urgent medical need. Recently, mitochondrial translation inhibition has been shown to affect GSC growth, clonogenicity, and self-renewal capability, therefore becoming an attractive therapeutic target. The combination of streptogramins B and A antibiotics quinupristin/dalfopristin (Q/D), which inhibits mitochondrial ribosome function, affects GSCs more effectively in vitro than the standard of care temozolomide. Here, docking calculations based on the cryo-EM structure of the Q/D-bound mitochondrial ribosome have been used to develop a series of streptogramin A derivatives. We obtained twenty-two new and known molecules starting from the dalfopristin and virginiamycin M1 scaffolds. A structure-activity relationship refinement was performed to evaluate the capability of these compounds to suppress GSC growth and inhibit mitochondrial translation, either alone or in combination with quinupristin. Finally, quantitative ultra HPLC-mass spectrometry allowed us to assess the cell penetration of some of these derivatives. Among all, the fluorine derivatives of dalfopristin and virginiamycin M1, (16R)-1e and (16R)-2e, respectively, and flopristin resulted in being more potent than the corresponding lead compounds and penetrating to a greater extent into the cells. We, therefore, propose these three compounds for further evaluation in vivo as antineoplastic agents.

Abstract
YTHDF proteins bind the N 6-methyladenosine (m6A)-modified mRNAs, influencing their processing, stability, and translation. Therefore, the members of this protein family play crucial roles in gene regulation and several physiological and pathophysiological conditions. YTHDF proteins contain a hydrophobic pocket that accommodates the m6A embedded in the RRACH consensus sequence on mRNAs. We exploited the presence of this cage to set up an m6A-competitive assay and performed a high-throughput screen aimed at identifying ligands binding in the m6A pocket. We report the organoselenium compound ebselen as the first-in-class inhibitor of the YTHDF m6A-binding domain. Ebselen, whose interaction with YTHDF proteins was validated via orthogonal assays, cannot discriminate between the binding domains of the three YTHDF paralogs but can disrupt the interaction of the YTHDF m6A domain with the m6A-decorated mRNA targets. X-ray, mass spectrometry, and NMR studies indicate that in YTHDF1 ebselen binds close to the m6A cage, covalently to the Cys412 cysteine, or interacts reversibly depending on the reducing environment. We also showed that ebselen engages YTHDF proteins within cells, interfering with their mRNA binding. Finally, we produced a series of ebselen structural analogs that can interact with the YTHDF m6A domain, proving that ebselen expansion is amenable for developing new inhibitors. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of drugging the YTH domain in YTHDF proteins and opens new avenues for the development of disruptors of m6A recognition.

Abstract
In recent decades, molecular hybridization has proven to be an efficient tool for obtaining new synthetic molecules to treat different diseases. Based on the core idea of covalently combining at least two pharmacophore fragments present in different drugs and/or bioactive molecules, the new hybrids have shown advantages when compared with the compounds of origin. Hybridization could be successfully applied to anticancer drug discovery, where efforts are underway to develop novel therapeutics which are safer and more effective than those currently in use. Molecules presenting naphthoquinone moieties are involved in redox processes and in other molecular mechanisms affecting cancer cells. Naphthoquinones have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and are considered privileged structures and useful templates in the design of hybrids. The present work aims at summarizing the current knowledge on antitumor hybrids built using 1,4- and 1,2-naphthoquinone (present in natural compounds as lawsone, napabucasin, plumbagin, lapachol, α-lapachone, and β -lapachone), and the related quinolone- and isoquinolinedione scaffolds reported in the literature up to 2021. In detail, the design and synthetic approaches adopted to produce the reported compounds are highlighted, the structural fragments considered in hybridization and their biological activities are described, and the structure–activity relationships and the computational analyses applied are underlined.

Abstract
Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) resist current glioblastoma (GBM) therapies. GSCs rely highly on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), whose function requires mitochondrial translation. Here we explore the therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondrial translation and report the results of high-content screening with putative blockers of mitochondrial ribosomes. We identify the bacterial antibiotic quinupristin/dalfopristin (Q/D) as an effective suppressor of GSC growth. Q/D also decreases the clonogenicity of GSCs in vitro, consequently dysregulating the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) reveals that Q/D binds to the large mitoribosomal subunit, inhibiting mitochondrial protein synthesis and functionally dysregulating OXPHOS complexes. These data suggest that targeting mitochondrial translation could be explored to therapeutically suppress GSC growth in GBM and that Q/D could potentially be repurposed for cancer treatment. Screen of putative mitoribosome inhibitors identifies Q/D as effective on GSCs Q/D selectively inhibits growth of GSCs Treatment with Q/D decreases clonogenicity, blocks cell cycle, and induces apoptosis Q/D binds to mitoribosomes and inhibits mitochondrial translation and therefore OXPHOS

Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are pleiotropic factors that control the processing and functional compartmentalization of transcripts by binding primarily to mRNA untranslated regions (UTRs). The competitive and/or cooperative interplay between RBPs and an array of coding and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) determines the posttranscriptional control of gene expression, influencing protein production. Recently, a variety of well-recognized and noncanonical RBP domains have been revealed by modern system-wide analyses, underlying an evolving classification of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) and their importance in governing physiological RNA metabolism. The possibility of targeting selected RNA-protein interactions with small molecules is now expanding the concept of protein "druggability," with new implications for medicinal chemistry and for a deeper characterization of the mechanism of action of bioactive compounds. Here, taking SF3B1, HuR, LIN28, and Musashi proteins as paradigmatic case studies, we review the strategies applied for targeting RBPs, with emphasis on the technological advancements to study protein-RNA interactions and on the requirements of appropriate validation strategies to parallel high-throughput screening (HTS) efforts.
