ABSTRACT

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a flavin-dependent metabolic enzyme that oxidizes dihydroorotate acid to orotic acid in the de novo synthesis pathway of pyrimidine metabolism. DHODH is located in mitochondria, closely related to cellular oxidative phosphorylation, and an important suppressor of the ferroptosis pathway. This study investigates the influence of DHODH on the progression of malignant tumors, including its important role in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidine, oxidative phosphorylation, and ferroptosis. The objective is to present evidence that DHODH is a potential target for the clinical treatment of tumors.

ABSTRACT

Uridine is one of the essential nutrients in organisms. To maintain normal cell growth and intracellular metabolism, the uridine must be maintained at certain concentration. Recent studies have shown that uridine can reduce inflammatory response in organisms, participate in glycolysis, and regulate intracellular protein modification, such as glycosylation and acetylation. Furthermore, it can protect cells from hypoxic injury by reducing intracellular oxidative stress, promoting high-energy compounds synthesis. Previous studies have shown that the protective effects of uridine are closely related to its effect on mitochondria. This review summarizes the effect of uridine on mitochondrial function.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the preventive effect of Caprini model on venous thromboembolism (VTE) in coma patients after severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 190 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma who received treatment in Lishui City People's Hospital, China between January 2015 and April 2019 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 95/group). Patients in the control group underwent the conventional strategy to prevent lower extremity VTE. Patients in the observation group were subjected to individualized strategies to prevent lower extremity VTE based on Caprini model assessment. The drop-out rate and treatment outcome were compared between the control and observation groups. The proportion of patients developing VTE during treatment in Department of Intensive Care Unit and the changes in coagulation indexes relative to before treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in drop-out rate between the control and observation group [10.53% (10/95) vs. 8.42% (8/95), χ2 = 0.245, P < 0.05]. The proportion of patients developing VTE in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [2.30% (2/87) vs. 10.59% (9/85), χ2 = 4.935, P < 0.05]. At 7 days after surgery, the coagulation indices D-dimer, platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time in the observation group were (2.27 ± 0.43) mg/L, (281.62 ± 37.29) × 10 9/L, (12.93 ± 2.87) seconds and (34.35 ± 7.19) seconds, respectively, which were (3.31 ± 0.68) mg/L, (303.28 ± 39.96) × 10 9/L, (11.24 ± 2.46) seconds and (31.16 ± 6.82) seconds, respectively in the control group. The coagulation indices in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group ( t = 10.013, 3.070, -3.463, -2.493, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The Caprini model is effective in preventing VTE in patients with coma after surgery for severe traumatic brain injury. It deserves to be clinically applied.

ABSTRACT

Emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses occasionally cause epidemics and pandemics worldwide, such as the on-going outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we identified two potent inhibitors of human DHODH, S312 and S416, with favorable drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic profiles, which all showed broad-spectrum antiviral effects against various RNA viruses, including influenza A virus, Zika virus, Ebola virus, and particularly against SARS-CoV-2. Notably, S416 is reported to be the most potent inhibitor so far with an EC of 17 nmol/L and an SI value of 10,505.88 in infected cells. Our results are the first to validate that DHODH is an attractive host target through high antiviral efficacy in vivo and low virus replication in DHODH knock-out cells. This work demonstrates that both S312/S416 and old drugs (Leflunomide/Teriflunomide) with dual actions of antiviral and immuno-regulation may have clinical potentials to cure SARS-CoV-2 or other RNA viruses circulating worldwide, no matter such viruses are mutated or not.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To design and synthesize a series of 2-aryl-4-(trans-4-hydroxycyclohexanolamine)-7H-pyrrolo[2, 3-d] pyrimidine derivatives and test their inhibitory activity against Mer tyrosine kinase(MerTK)and tumor cell proliferation. Methods: 2, 4-Dichloro-7H-pyrrolo[2, 3-d]pyrimidine(1)was used as starting material to synthesize the target compounds via iodination, protection with p- Tosyl(Ts), nucleophilic substitution, Stille coupling, vinyl reduction, Suzuki coupling and deprotection of Ts. The MerTK inhibitory activity was tested by the Kinase-Glo Plus luminescence method. The antiproliferation activity was assayed using MV- 4-11, A549, MDA-MB-231, KB, and KB-vin tumor cell lines by the CCK8 and SRB methods. Molecular docking of MerTK and 6h was conducted using the DS3.0 software. Results: Nine compounds were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and MS. Compound 6h exhibited certain inhibitory effect on MerTK, with the(6.7±0.3)μmol/L of IC50 value, and could selectively inhibit the growth of MV-4-11 tumor cells, with the(6.6±1.1)μmol/L of GI50 value that was approximately 3-fold to 6-fold more potent than the GI50 value of 6h on the other tested tumor cells. Molecular docking showed that 6h could interact with MerTK on the binding site of UNC569 and overlapped well with the original ligand UNC569, but its binding energy was higher than the binding energy of UNC569. Conclusion: Compound 6h showed a selective inhibitory effect on the MV-4-11 cell growth, which might be further investigated via more biological experiments to explore whether the inhibitory effect is related to the inhibition of MerTK by 6h. The molecular docking results in the present study have suggested that further structural modification on the 2 and 5 position of 7H-pyrrolo[2, 3-d] pyrimidine skeleton could likely improve the MerTK inhibitory activity.

ABSTRACT

Aim To observe the effect of pyrimidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on the variance of disc morphology and the expressions of TNF-α, MMP-9 in the cervical disc in cervical dynamic equilibrium rat models, and to investigate the roles of PDTC in the process of intervertebral disc degeneration and the mechanism involved.Methods Fifty-four SD rats were divided into three groups randomly, then the dynamic equilibrium rat model was established by cutting the nuchal superficial and deep muscle of the rats.The dynamic equilibrium rats with PDTC solution intraperitoneal injection after operations were defined as PDTC group (group A), the models with saline intraperitoneal injection after operations as saline group (group B), the rats of fake operation with saline intraperitoneal injection as blank group (group C), and the animals were sacrificed in batches 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks respectively after operation.The C5, C6 vertebrae and C5/6 discs were harvested, and the disc morphology was observed.TNF-α, MMP-9 mRNA expressions were detected by q-PCR and protein expression was observed by Western blot.Results Compared with the saline group, the morphology of disc in PDTC group was destructed slightly and fiber ring arranged orderly.TNF-α, MMP-9 gene and protein expressions had no obvious changes (P>0.05) in blank group (group C) at each time point.The expressions of IL-6, MMP-9 mRNA increased with time in group B, but the amount increased fast firstly, and slow lately, reaching peak in 12 weeks.The expression of TNF-α, MMP-9 protein became steady in group B from 10 weeks compared with other time points(P>0.05).TNF-α, MMP-9 genes and proteins expression decreased obviously in PDTC group (group A) compared with saline group (group B) (P<0.01) at each time point, but higher than blank group C(P<0.01) at each time point.Conclusions TNF-α and MMP-9 are important inflammatory factors involved in rat cervical disc degeneration, PDTC relieves the degeneration of rat cervical disc by reducing the expression of TNF-α and MMP-9 via disturbing the NF-κB signal pathway probably, and PDTC may become potential medicine for disc degeneration.

ABSTRACT

Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. Artemisinins remain as the first-line treatment for Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) malaria although drug resistance has already emerged and spread in Southeast Asia. Thus, to fight this disease, there is an urgent need to develop new antimalarial drugs for malaria chemotherapy. Unlike human host cells, P. falciparum cannot salvage preformed pyrimidine bases or nucleosides from the extracellular environment and relies solely on nucleotides synthesized through the de novo biosynthetic pathway. This review presents significant progress on understanding the de novo pyrimidine pathway and the functional enzymes in the human parasite P. falciparum. Current knowledge in genomics and metabolomics are described, particularly focusing on the parasite purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism. These include gene annotation, characterization and molecular mechanism of the enzymes that are different from the human host pathway. Recent elucidation of the three-dimensional crystal structures and the catalytic reactions of three enzymes: dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, orotate phosphoribosyltransferase, and orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase, as well as their inhibitors are reviewed in the context of their therapeutic potential against malaria.
