Numerous studies suggest that common genetic and epigenetic factors such as p53, histone deacetylase (HDAC), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the (Ataxia Telangiectasia mutated) ATM gene, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and altered expression of microRNA (miRNA) play a crucial role in cancer and neurodegeneration. As there is growing evidence that epigenetic aberrations in cancer and neurological diseases lead to complex pathophysiological changes, the simultaneous targeting of epigenetic and other related pathways by dual-target inhibitors may contribute to the discovery of more effective and personalized therapeutic options. Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) provides comprehensive bioinformatic, chemoinformatic, and chemometric approaches for the design of novel chemotypes of epigenetic dual-target inhibitors, enabling efficient discovery of new drug candidates for innovative treatments of these multifactorial diseases. The detailed anticancer mechanisms by which the epigenetic dual-target inhibitors alter metastatic and tumorigenic properties, influence the tumor microenvironment, or regulate the immune response are also presented and discussed in the review. To improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of cancer and neurodegeneration, this review discusses novel therapeutic agents targeting different molecular mechanisms involved in these multifactorial diseases.

大量研究表明,常见的遗传和表观遗传因素,如 p53、组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC)、脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)、(共济失调性远端神经病突变)ATM 基因、细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶 5(CDK5)、糖原合酶激酶 3(GSK3)以及微 RNA(miRNA)表达的改变,在癌症和神经退行性疾病中起着至关重要的作用。越来越多的证据表明,癌症和神经系统疾病中的表观遗传畸变会导致复杂的病理生理变化,因此通过双靶点抑制剂同时靶向表观遗传和其他相关通路可能有助于发现更有效的个性化治疗方案。计算机辅助药物设计(CADD)为表观遗传双靶点抑制剂的新型化学型设计提供了全面的生物信息学、化学信息学和化学计量学方法,从而能够高效地发现新的候选药物,用于这些多因素疾病的创新治疗。综述还介绍并讨论了表观遗传双靶点抑制剂改变转移和致瘤特性、影响肿瘤微环境或调节免疫反应的详细抗癌机制。为了增进我们对癌症和神经变性发病机制的了解,本综述讨论了针对这些多因素疾病所涉及的不同分子机制的新型治疗药物。

An Overview on Antifilarial Efficacy of Heterocyclic Motifs Encompassing Synthetic Strategies, SAR, and Commercialized Medications. 杂环基团的抗丝虫药效概述,包括合成策略、SAR 和商业化药物。
IF 2.9 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-11-01 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266321838241024073444

Filariasis is one of the oldest, most dangerous, debilitating, disfiguring diseases and often ignores tropical disorders. It presents with a range of clinical symptoms, a low death rate, and a high morbidity rate, which contributes to social discrimination. This condition has major effects on people's socioeconomic circumstances. This illness is carried by mosquitoes that have spread malaria. Lymphatic filariasis, caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori, is a crippling illness with serious social and economic consequences. The infection persisted despite therapy with conventional antifilarial medications such as diethylcarbamazine (DEC), albendazole, and ivermectin, which are mostly microfilaricides. Current treatments (ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine, and albendazole) have limited effectiveness against adult parasites and produce side effects; therefore, innovative antifilarial medications are urgently required. Hence, macrofilaricides, embryostatic agents, and improved microfilaricides are required. The following article discusses the typical synthetic methodologies established for antifilarial activity as well as their marketed pharmaceuticals, which will help researchers, medicinal chemists, and pharmaceutical scientists to develop new and effective antifilarial therapies. This review can help to identify new lead compounds and optimize existing commercial medications to improve their therapeutic efficacy. The majority of the studies addressed in this review concern the forms of filariasis, parasite life cycle, symptoms, medications used to treat filariasis, synthetic schemes, SAR, and results from the reported research.

丝虫病是最古老、最危险、最致残、最毁容的疾病之一,也是经常被忽视的热带疾病。它有一系列临床症状,死亡率低,发病率高,造成社会歧视。这种疾病对人们的社会经济状况有重大影响。这种疾病由传播疟疾的蚊子携带。淋巴丝虫病由班氏乌切瑞绦虫(Wuchereria bancrofti)、马来氏布鲁格绦虫(Brugia malayi)和蒂莫里氏布鲁格绦虫(Brugia timori)引起,是一种致残性疾病,具有严重的社会和经济后果。尽管使用了传统的抗丝虫药物(如乙酰甲胺嗪(DEC)、阿苯达唑和伊维菌素,这些药物主要是微丝蚴杀虫剂),但感染依然存在。目前的治疗方法(伊维菌素、乙酰甲胺嗪和阿苯达唑)对成虫的疗效有限,而且会产生副作用,因此迫切需要创新的抗丝虫药物。因此,需要大丝虫杀虫剂、胚胎抑制剂和改良的微丝杀虫剂。以下文章讨论了抗丝虫活性的典型合成方法及其上市药物,这将有助于研究人员、药物化学家和制药科学家开发新的、有效的抗丝虫疗法。这篇综述有助于确定新的先导化合物,并优化现有的商业药物以提高其疗效。本综述中涉及的大部分研究涉及丝虫病的形式、寄生虫的生命周期、症状、用于治疗丝虫病的药物、合成方案、SAR 以及报告的研究成果。

Diabetes mellitus, characterized as a chronic metabolic disorder or a polygenic syndrome; is increasing at a very fast pace among every group of the population worldwide. It arises due to the inability of the body to produce enough insulin (the hormone responsible for controlling blood sugar levels) or inability to utilize the insulin, leading to hyperglycaemic condition, which, if left uncontrolled gives rise to chronic microvascular and macrovascular complications like retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, cognitive impairment, etc. Several therapeutic approaches are available for the treatment of diabetes; among which dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) inhibitors (gliptins) hold a significant place. DPP-IV is a multifunctional enzyme or a serine exopeptidase that plays an imperative role in cleaving bioactive molecules. DPP-IV causes the breakdown of incretin hormone (GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide 1 and GIP: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) that is essential for controlling glycaemic levels in the body. Inhibition of DPP-IV enzyme (DPP-IV inhibitors: Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin, Linagliptin, Alogliptin) prevents this breakdown, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and saving the patients from deleterious effects of prolonged hyperglycaemic conditions. Triazole-based DPP-IV inhibitors are a significant class of drugs used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus in a dose-dependent manner. Clinical trials have demonstrated their efficacy as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents. This review highlights the molecular docking studies and structure-activity relationship of potential synthetic derivatives that may act as lead molecules for future drug discovery and yield drug molecules with enhanced efficacy, potency and reduced toxicity profile.

糖尿病是一种慢性代谢紊乱或多基因综合征,在全球各个人群中的发病率都在快速上升。糖尿病是由于人体无法产生足够的胰岛素(负责控制血糖水平的激素)或无法利用胰岛素而导致的高血糖状态,如果不加以控制,会引起慢性微血管和大血管并发症,如视网膜病变、神经病变、肾病变、冠状动脉疾病、认知障碍等。目前有多种治疗糖尿病的方法,其中二肽基肽酶(DPP-IV)抑制剂(格列吡嗪)占有重要地位。DPP-IV 是一种多功能酶或丝氨酸外肽酶,在分解生物活性分子方面发挥着重要作用。DPP-IV 会导致增量素激素(GLP-1:胰高血糖素样肽 1 和 GIP:葡萄糖依赖性促胰岛素肽)的分解,而增量素激素对控制体内血糖水平至关重要。抑制 DPP-IV 酶(DPP-IV 抑制剂:西他列汀、沙格列汀、利纳列汀、阿格列汀)可防止这种分解,从而控制血糖水平,使患者免受长期高血糖的有害影响。三唑类 DPP-IV 抑制剂是以剂量依赖方式治疗 2 型糖尿病的一类重要药物。临床试验证明了它们作为单一疗法或与其他抗糖尿病药物联用的疗效。本综述重点介绍了潜在合成衍生物的分子对接研究和结构-活性关系,这些衍生物可能成为未来药物发现的先导分子,并产生具有更强疗效、效力和毒性特征的药物分子。

Hydroxamic Acids Derivatives: Greener Synthesis, Antiureolytic Properties And Potential Medicinal Chemistry Applications - A Concise Review. 羟肟酸衍生物:更绿色的合成、抗利尿特性和潜在的药物化学应用--简明综述。
IF 2.9 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-10-31 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266322401241021073138

Hydroxamic acids (HAs) are chemical compounds characterized by the general structure RCONR'OH, where R and R' can denote hydrogen, aryl, or alkyl groups. Recognized for their exceptional chelating capabilities, HAs can form mono or bidentate complexes through oxygen and nitrogen atoms, rendering them remarkably versatile. These distinctive structural attributes have paved the way for a broad spectrum of medicinal applications for HAs, among which their pivotal role as inhibitors of essential Ni(II) and Zn(II)-containing metalloenzymes. In 1962, a significant breakthrough occurred when Kobashi and colleagues identified hydroxamic acids (HAs) as potent urease inhibitors. Subsequent research has increasingly underscored their capability in combatting infections induced by ureolytic microorganisms, including Helicobacter pylori and Proteus mirabilis. However, comprehensive reviews exploring their potential applications in treating infections caused by ureolytic microorganisms remain scarce in the scientific literature. Thus, this minireview aims to bridge this gap by offering a systematic exploration of the subject. Furthermore, it seeks to explore the significant advancements in obtaining hydroxamic acid derivatives through environmentally sustainable methodologies.

羟肟酸(HAs)是一种化合物,其一般结构为 RCONR'OH,其中 R 和 R'可表示氢、芳基或烷基。羟肟酸具有出色的螯合能力,可以通过氧原子和氮原子形成单齿或双齿络合物,因此用途非常广泛。这些与众不同的结构特性为 HAs 的广泛医药应用铺平了道路,其中 HAs 作为含 Ni(II)和 Zn(II)金属酶的重要抑制剂发挥了关键作用。1962 年,小桥及其同事发现羟肟酸 (HAs) 是一种有效的尿素酶抑制剂,这是一项重大突破。随后的研究越来越多地强调了羟肟酸在对抗幽门螺旋杆菌和奇异变形杆菌等尿素分解微生物诱导的感染方面的能力。然而,在科学文献中,探讨它们在治疗尿解微生物引起的感染中的潜在应用的全面综述仍然很少。因此,本微型综述旨在通过对这一主题的系统探讨来弥补这一空白。此外,它还试图探讨通过环境可持续方法获得羟肟酸衍生物的重大进展。

Introduction: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, driving the urgent need for new and effective treatments. Benzimidazole and pyrazole derivatives have gained attention for their potential as anticancer agents due to their diverse biological activities. The development of resistance in cancer cells, toxicity concerns, and inconsistent efficacy across different types of cancer are a few of the challenges. To overcome these challenges, optimisation of these nuclei using the structure-activity relationships is necessary.

Objective: This review aimed to examine various benzimidazole, pyrazole, and their hybrid derivatives by focusing on their structure-activity relationships (SAR) as anticancer agents. Results of the most potent and least potent benzimidazole, pyrazole compounds, and their hybrid derivatives published by researchers were compiled.

Method: The findings of different researchers working on benzimidazole and pyrazole nuclei were reviewed and analysed for different targets and cell lines. Moreover, substitutions on different positions of pyrazole, benzimidazole, and their hybrid were summarised to derive an optimised pharmacophore.

Result: Based on our analysis of existing studies, we anticipate that this review will guide researchers in creating potent pyrazole, benzimidazole, and hybrid derivatives crucial for combating cancer effectively.

Conclusion: Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies can help in developing pyrazolebenzimidazole hybrids that are more powerful and selective in targeting specific aspects of cancer.

ML-Based Models as a Strategy to Discover Novel Antiepileptic Drugs Targeting Sodium Receptor Channel. 将基于 ML 的模型作为发现靶向钠受体通道的新型抗癫痫药物的策略。
IF 2.9 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-10-22 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266331755241008061915

Background: Epilepsy remains the most common and chronic disorder demanding longterm management. The impact of epilepsy disease is a cause of great concern and has resulted in efforts to develop treatment for epilepsy. It occurs due to an increase in neuronal excitability produced by changes affecting the voltage-dependent properties of Voltage-gated Sodium Channels (VGSCs).

Materials and methods: Weka, a popular suite for machine learning techniques, was used on a dataset comprising 1781 chemical compounds, showing inhibition activity for sodium channel protein IX alpha subunit. After the analysis of the dataset obtained from ChEMBL, molecular fingerprints were computed for the molecules by the ChemDes server. Different classifiers available in the Weka software were explored to find out the algorithm that could be more suitable for the dataset or produce the highest accuracy for the classification of molecules as active or inactive.

Results: In this work, a comprehensive comparison of different classifiers in the Weka suite for the prediction of active, inactive, and intermediate classes of molecules showing inhibition against human NaV1.7 protein was made. The prediction accuracy of these classifiers was assessed based on performance measures, including accuracy, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), precision, Mathews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), recall, and Fmeasure. The comparison of results for model performance demonstrated that the OneR classifier performed best over others when validated using percentage split, cross-validation, and supplied test methods. J48 and Bagging also performed equally well in the prediction of different classes with an MCC value of 1, ROC area equal to 1, and RMSE close to 0.

Conclusion: Machine Learning (ML) tools provide a fast, reliable, and cost-effective approach required to identify or predict inhibitory molecules for the treatment of a disease. This study shows that the ML methods, particularly OneR, J48, and Bagging have the ability to identify active and inactive classes of compounds for the human NaV1.7 protein target. Such predictive models may provide a reliable and time-saving approach that can aid in the design of potential inhibitors for the treatment of epilepsy disease.

背景:癫痫是最常见的慢性疾病,需要长期治疗。癫痫疾病的影响引起了人们的极大关注,并促使人们努力开发癫痫治疗方法。它的发生是由于影响电压门控钠通道(VGSCs)电压依赖特性的变化导致神经元兴奋性增加:Weka是一款流行的机器学习技术套件,用于分析由1781种化合物组成的数据集,这些化合物对钠离子通道蛋白IX alpha亚基具有抑制活性。在对从 ChEMBL 获取的数据集进行分析后,ChemDes 服务器计算出了分子的分子指纹。对 Weka 软件中的不同分类器进行了探索,以找出更适合该数据集的算法,或对分子进行活性或非活性分类的最高准确率:在这项工作中,对 Weka 套件中不同的分类器进行了综合比较,以预测对人类 NaV1.7 蛋白有抑制作用的分子的活性、非活性和中间类别。这些分类器的预测准确度是根据性能指标来评估的,包括准确度、均方根误差(RMSE)、接收者工作特征(ROC)、精确度、马修斯相关系数(MCC)、召回率和 Fmeasure。对模型性能的比较结果表明,在使用百分比分割、交叉验证和供应测试方法进行验证时,OneR 分类器的表现优于其他分类器。J48 和 Bagging 分类器在预测不同类别时表现同样出色,MCC 值为 1,ROC 面积等于 1,RMSE 接近 0.结论:机器学习(ML)工具为识别或预测治疗疾病的抑制性分子提供了一种快速、可靠且经济有效的方法。本研究表明,ML 方法,尤其是 OneR、J48 和 Bagging 能够识别人类 NaV1.7 蛋白靶点的活性和非活性化合物类别。这种预测模型可提供一种可靠、省时的方法,有助于设计治疗癫痫疾病的潜在抑制剂。

Potential Anti-tumor Effects and Apoptosis-Inducing Mechanisms of Saponins: A Review. 皂苷的潜在抗肿瘤作用和凋亡诱导机制:综述。
IF 2.9 4区 医学 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-10-22 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266315197241015101801

The search for effective cancer therapies highlights saponins, natural plant-derived compounds, as promising anticancer agents. These compounds induce apoptosis in cancer cells by activating caspases, essential enzymes for cell death. For example, Soyasapogenol B from Glycine max and Astragaloside IV from Astragalus membranaceus effectively trigger apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, saponins, such as Compound K from American ginseng and Saikosaponin from Bupleurum falcatum, affect extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, including mitochondrial release of cytochrome C and activation of caspase-9. Ziyuglycoside II also acts on both pathways and activates the ROS/JNK pathway. Understanding these mechanisms provides promising prospects for developing more specific and safer anticancer therapies. The review utilized the ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. It was found that original articles and reviews from journals indexed in these sources emphasized the antitumor capabilities of saponins and discussed their role in apoptosis induction and caspase activation. The activation of caspases by saponins in the apoptotic pathway involves two main pathways: the extrinsic pathway is initiated by external signals that activate caspase-8, while the intrinsic pathway starts with internal stimuli, causing the release of cytochrome c and the activation of caspase-9. These pathways both lead to the activation of effector caspases (caspases 3, 6, and 7), culminating in apoptosis, an essential process for maintaining cellular balance and eliminating damaged cells. Identifying saponins in the context of cancer and their mechanisms of action is an ever-evolving field. Future research may lead to more targeted and personalized therapies, highlighting the collaboration between basic and clinical research in this promising area of medicine.

在寻找有效癌症疗法的过程中,皂苷--天然植物提取的化合物--成为了很有前景的抗癌剂。这些化合物通过激活细胞死亡所必需的酶--caspases,诱导癌细胞凋亡。例如,最大甘氨酸中的大豆皂苷 B 和黄芪中的黄芪皂苷 IV 能有效诱导癌细胞凋亡。此外,皂苷,如西洋参中的化合物 K 和柴胡中的 Saikosaponin,会影响外在和内在途径,包括线粒体释放细胞色素 C 和激活 caspase-9。Ziyuglycoside II 也作用于这两种途径,并激活 ROS/JNK 途径。了解这些机制为开发更具特异性和更安全的抗癌疗法提供了广阔的前景。本综述利用了 ScienceDirect、PubMed 和 Google Scholar 数据库。结果发现,这些数据库收录的期刊中的原创文章和评论都强调了皂苷的抗肿瘤能力,并讨论了皂苷在诱导细胞凋亡和激活 caspase 方面的作用。皂苷在细胞凋亡途径中对 caspase 的激活涉及两个主要途径:外在途径由外部信号启动,激活 caspase-8,而内在途径则始于内部刺激,导致细胞色素 c 的释放和 caspase-9 的激活。这两种途径都会导致效应 caspase(caspase 3、6 和 7)的激活,最终导致细胞凋亡,而细胞凋亡是维持细胞平衡和清除受损细胞的重要过程。确定癌症中的皂素及其作用机制是一个不断发展的领域。未来的研究可能会带来更有针对性和个性化的疗法,这也凸显了基础研究和临床研究在这一前景广阔的医学领域的合作。
