Abstract:Aim of the study: This is a study aiming to evaluate the structural elements essential to the antidiabetic activity of flavonoids. Methods: We synthesized two series of flavonoids, 5,7-dihydroxyflavanones and 5,7-dihydroxyflavones. Results: In a screening for in vitro potential antidiabetic activity, most of the flavonoids showed a remarkable in vitro activity, and compounds 5f, 7d, and 10c were significantly more effective than the positive control, metformin. Conclusion: The biological activity was mainly affected by introducing structural modification at the ring B moiety of the flavonoid skeleton. The results suggest that 5,7-dihydroxyflavonoids can be considered promising candidates in the development of new antidiabetic lead compounds. | |||

Abstract:The serotonin 2A receptor has been implicated in several neurological conditions and potent 5-HT2A antagonists have therapeutic effects in the treatment of Schizophrenia and depression. In this paper, we reported computational homology modeling of the 5-HT2A receptor based on the high-resolution X-ray structure of β2-adrenergic receptor. The accuracy of the model was validated through Procheck 3.5.4 and AutoDock 4.0 program. The antagonistic conformation of 5-HT2A was obtained by the investigation of the interaction mode of 5-HT2A with well-known potent antagonist ketanserin. The active site of the 5-HT2A receptor was mapped by five types of chemical probes by means of grid calculation. The Cluster analysis in combination with the available experimental pharmacological data was applied to guide the selection of the pharmacophore feature. Pharmacophore model was built by means of the Catalyst 4.10 and database searching was carried out on Asinex Gold Collection database, which contains ca. 200,000 molecules. As a result, 463 hits were obtained. The Lipinski's Rule of Five was used to filter out the non-drug like redundancies, the scoring function was used to rank the hits and docking study was used for the final selection. Finally, 14 molecules were selected and purchased for further biological test. | |||

Abstract:The discovery of lead compounds is a key step to drug design. Pseudopeptide is one of the most important lead structures. Various pseudopeptides could be prepared either based on the structures or based on the action mechanisms. For the design of the anti-thrombotic, thrombolytic, anti-tumor, anti-osteoporosis and lead detoxifica- tion drugs, in the past years we published numerous pseudopeptides of alkaloid- peptides, heterocyclics-peptides, steroid-peptides, saccharide-amino acids and so on. This paper reviewed the pharmacological benefits of some pseudopeptides of our laboratory. | |||

Abstract:Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique that can generate continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few micrometers to a few nanometers. In the recent years, much progress has occurred in electrospinning. A myriad of functional polymers have been electrospun, and many new nanostructures such as hollow, core/shell and porous fibers have been obtained. This paper highlights the usage of electrospinning in the fabrication of core/shell nanofibers, as well as the efforts made to improve their application in tissue engineering and drug delivery. The studies presented indicate that core/shell nanofibers afford the opportunity to engineer scaffolds with topography on a micro to nanoscale, and a high porosity akin to that found in the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). Such nanofibers can provide sustained drug release as well as mitigate the initial burst release that occurs with traditional polymer/drug blends. | |||

Abstract:Computational chemistry is playing an increasingly important role in drug design and discovery, structural biology, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies. For QSAR work, selecting an appropriate and accurate method to assign the electrostatic potentials of each atom in a molecule is a critical first step. So far several commonly used methods are available to assign charges. However, no systematic comparison of the effects of electrostatic potentials on QSAR quality has been made. In this study, twelve semi-empirical and empirical charge-assigning methods, AM1, AM1-BCC, CFF, Del-Re, Formal, Gasteiger, Gasteiger-Hückel, Hückel, MMFF, PRODRG, Pullman, and VC2003 charges, have been compared for their performances in CoMFA and CoMSIA modeling using several standard datasets. Some charge assignment models, such as Del-Re, PRODRG, and Pullman, are limited to specific atom and bond types, and, therefore, were excluded from this study. Among the remaining nine methods, the Gasteiger-Hückel charge, though commonly used, performed poorly in prediction accuracy. The AM1-BCC method was better than most charge-assigning methods based on prediction accuracy, though it was not successful in yielding overall higher cross-validation Pearson correlation coefficient (q2) values than others. The CFF charge model worked the best in prediction accuracy when q2 was used as the evaluation criterion. The results presented should help the selection of electrostatic potential models in CoMFA and CoMSIA studies. | |||

Abstract:Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) plays an important role in a diverse number of regulatory pathways. GSK-3 inhibitors, particularly the non-ATP-competitive inhibitors, have been evaluated as promising drug candidates for a lot of unmet pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes. In this paper, a molecular docking study with the published GSK-3β crystal structure and receptor-based pharmacophore modeling of four highly active non-ATP-competitive GSK-3 inhibitors were performed by DOCK 5.4 and Catalyst 4.11, respectively. The results could provide an exquisite understanding on their mechanism of interaction within the non-ATP-binding pocket of GSK-3β, meanwhile the finding of the common properties shared by these pharmacological inhibitors of GSK-3β could be helpful to further chemical optimization of such potent drug candidates. | |||

Abstract:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition is a recent, clinically validated therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. 3D-QSAR studies of some suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) like analogues were performed by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) to rationalize the structural requirements responsible for the inhibitory activity of these compounds. The docking results provided a reliable conformational alignment scheme for 3D-QSAR model. Based on the docking conformations, highly predictive comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed with a cross-validated q2 of 0.684. The non-cross-validated analysis with 3 optimum components revealed a conventional r2 value of 0.948, F=127.023, and an estimated standard error of 0.165. Furthermore, the 3D-QSAR models were mapped back to the binding site of the HDLP, to get a better understanding of vital interactions between the hydroxamic acids and the zinc. Based on the docking and CoMFA analyses, we have identified some key features in the histone deacetylase inhibitors that are responsible for HDAC inhibitory activity. The analyses may be used to design more potent histone deacetylase inhibitors and predict their activity prior to synthesis. | |||
