Discovery of a Novel and Potent LCK Inhibitor for Leukemia Treatment via Deep Learning and Molecular Docking.

The lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) plays a crucial role in both T-cell development and activation. Dysregulation of LCK signaling has been demonstrated to drive the oncogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), thus providing a therapeutic target for leukemia treatment. In this study, we introduced a sophisticated virtual screening strategy combined with biological evaluations to discover potent LCK inhibitors. Our initial approach involved utilizing the PLANET algorithm to assess and contrast various scoring methodologies suitable for LCK inhibitor screening. After effectively evaluating PLANET, we progressed to devise a virtual screening workflow that synergistically combines the strengths of PLANET with the capabilities of Schrödinger's suite. This integrative strategy led to the efficient identification of four potential LCK inhibitors. Among them, compound 1232030-35-1 stood out as the most promising candidate with an IC50 of 0.43 nM. Further in vitro bioassays revealed that 1232030-35-1 exhibited robust antiproliferative effects on T-ALL cells, which was attributed to its ability to suppress the phosphorylations of key molecules in the LCK signaling pathway. More importantly, 1232030-35-1 treatment demonstrated profound in vivo antileukemia efficacy in a human T-ALL xenograft model. In addition, complementary molecular dynamics simulations provided deeper insight into the binding kinetics between 1232030-35-1 and LCK, highlighting the formation of a hydrogen bond with Met319. Collectively, our study established a robust and effective screening strategy that integrates AI-driven and conventional methodologies for the identification of LCK inhibitors, positioning 1232030-35-1 as a highly promising and novel drug-like candidate for potential applications in treating T-ALL.

Discovery of potent CSK inhibitors through integrated virtual screening and molecular dynamic simulation.

Oncogenic overexpression or activation of C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) has been shown to play an important role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression, including tumor initiation, growth, metastasis, drug resistance. This revelation has pivoted the focus toward CSK as a potential target for novel treatments. However, until now, there are few inhibitors designed to target the CSK protein. Responding to this, our research has implemented a comprehensive virtual screening protocol. By integrating energy-based screening methods with AI-driven scoring functions, such as Attentive FP, and employing rigorous rescoring methods like Glide docking and molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA), we have systematically sought out inhibitors of CSK. This approach led to the discovery of a compound with a potent CSK inhibitory activity, reflected by an IC50 value of 1.6 nM under a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) bioassay. Subsequently, molecule 2 exhibits strong growth inhibition of MD anderson - metastatic breast (MDA-MB) -231, Hs578T, and SUM159 cells, showing a level of growth inhibition comparable to that observed with dasatinib. Treatment with molecule 2 also induced significant G1 phase accumulation and cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we have explored the explicit binding interactions of the compound with CSK using molecular dynamics simulations, providing valuable insights into its mechanism of action.

Discovery of potent small molecule ubiquitin-specific protease 10 inhibitors with anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity through regulating YAP expression.

High expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10) promote the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), thus the development of USP10 inhibitors holds promise as a novel therapeutic approach for HCC treatment. However, the development of selective USP10 inhibitor is still limited. In this study, we developed a novel USP10 inhibitor for investigating the feasibility of targeting USP10 for the treatment of HCC. Due to high USP10 inhibition potency and prominent selectivity, compound D1 bearing quinolin-4(1H)-one scaffold was identified as a lead compound. Subsequent research revealed that D1 significantly inhibits cell proliferation and clone formation in HCC cells. Mechanistic insights indicated that D1 targets the ubiquitin pathway, facilitating the degradation of YAP (Yes-associated protein), thereby triggering the downregulation of p53 and its downstream protein p21. Ultimately, this cascade leads to S-phase arrest in HCC cells, followed by cell apoptosis. Collectively, our findings highlight D1 as a promising starting point for USP10-positive HCC treatment, underscoring its potential as a vital tool for unraveling the functional intricacies of USP10.

Cpd-A1 alleviates acute kidney injury by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as sudden loss of renal function characterized by increased serum creatinine levels and reduced urinary output with a duration of 7 days. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated necrotic pathway, has been implicated in the progression of AKI, while ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a selective inhibitor of ferroptosis, inhibited renal damage, oxidative stress and tubular cell death in AKI mouse models. However, the clinical translation of Fer-1 is limited due to its lack of efficacy and metabolic instability. In this study we designed and synthesized four Fer-1 analogs (Cpd-A1, Cpd-B1, Cpd-B2, Cpd-B3) with superior plasma stability, and evaluated their therapeutic potential in the treatment of AKI. Compared with Fer-1, all the four analogs displayed a higher distribution in mouse renal tissue in a pharmacokinetic assay and a more effective ferroptosis inhibition in erastin-treated mouse tubular epithelial cells (mTECs) with Cpd-A1 (N-methyl-substituted-tetrazole-Fer-1 analog) being the most efficacious one. In hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)- or LPS-treated mTECs, treatment with Cpd-A1 (0.25 µM) effectively attenuated cell damage, reduced inflammatory responses, and inhibited ferroptosis. In ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)- or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced AKI mouse models, pre-injection of Cpd-A1 (1.25, 2.5, 5 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.p.) dose-dependently improved kidney function, mitigated renal tubular injury, and abrogated inflammation. We conclude that Cpd-A1 may serve as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of AKI.

Associations of Intrapancreatic Fat Deposition With Incident Diseases of the Exocrine and Endocrine Pancreas: A UK Biobank Prospective Cohort Study.

INTRODUCTION: To investigate whether increased intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) heightens the risk of diseases of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from the UK Biobank. IPFD was quantified using MRI and a deep learning-based framework called nnUNet. The prevalence of fatty change of the pancreas (FP) was determined using sex- and age-specific thresholds. Associations between IPFD and pancreatic diseases were assessed with multivariate Cox-proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index, smoking and drinking status, central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, liver fat content, and spleen fat content. RESULTS: Of the 42,599 participants included in the analysis, the prevalence of FP was 17.86%. Elevated IPFD levels were associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 quintile change 1.513, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.179-1.941), pancreatic cancer (HR per 1 quintile change 1.365, 95% CI 1.058-1.762) and diabetes mellitus (HR per 1 quintile change 1.221, 95% CI 1.132-1.318). FP was also associated with a higher risk of acute pancreatitis (HR 3.982, 95% CI 2.192-7.234), pancreatic cancer (HR 1.976, 95% CI 1.054-3.704), and diabetes mellitus (HR 1.337, 95% CI 1.122-1.593, P = 0.001). DISCUSSION: FP is a common pancreatic disorder. Fat in the pancreas is an independent risk factor for diseases of both the exocrine pancreas and endocrine pancreas.

Blocking Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 7 Induces Ferroptosis in Gastric Cancer via Targeting Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase.

Gastric cancer (GC) presents a formidable global health challenge, and conventional therapies face efficacy limitations. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) plays pivotal roles in GC development, immune response, and chemo-resistance, making it a promising target. Various USP7 inhibitors have shown selectivity and efficacy in preclinical studies. However, the mechanistic role of USP7 has not been fully elucidated, and currently, no USP7 inhibitors have been approved for clinical use. In this study, DHPO is identified as a potent USP7 inhibitor for GC treatment through in silico screening. DHPO demonstrates significant anti-tumor activity in vitro, inhibiting cell viability and clonogenic ability, and preventing tumor migration and invasion. In vivo studies using orthotopic gastric tumor mouse models validate DHPO's efficacy in suppressing tumor growth and metastasis without significant toxicity. Mechanistically, DHPO inhibition triggers ferroptosis, evidenced by mitochondrial alterations, lipid Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation, and iron overload. Further investigations unveil USP7's regulation of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) through deubiquitination, linking USP7 inhibition to SCD degradation and ferroptosis induction. Overall, this study identifies USP7 as a key player in ferroptosis of GC, elucidates DHPO's inhibitory mechanisms, and highlights its potential for GC treatment by inducing ferroptosis through SCD regulation.

Discovery of novel, potent, selective and orally bioavailable HPK1 inhibitor for enhancing the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 antibody.

Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), a serine/threonine kinase in the MAP4K family, is expressed predominantly in immune cells, and has been identified as a negative regulator of immune signaling. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that loss of HPK1 kinase function effectively enhances anti-tumor responses. In this study, we disclose the medicinal chemistry campaigns to discovery potent, selective, and orally active HPK1 inhibitors, starting from our previous work based on rigidification strategy. Systematically structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration led to the identification of F03 (HMC-B17). The representative compound, HMC-B17, showed the potent HPK1 inhibition with an IC50 value of 1.39 nM and favorable selectivity against TCR-related kinases. In addition, the HMC-B17 effectively enhanced the IL-2 secretion in Jurkat cells (EC50 = 11.56 nM). Strikingly, immune-reverse effects and improved immune response in vivo were observed after HMC-B17 treatment. Furthermore, HMC-B17 combined with anti-PD-L1 antibody demonstrated a synergistic antitumor efficacy with TGI% value of 71.24 % in CT26 model. Collectively, our findings suggest that HMC-B17 could be a valuable lead compound to develop a safe and potent HPK1 inhibitor for further cancer immunotherapy.

Soat2 inhibitor avasimibe alleviates acute pancreatitis by suppressing acinar cell ferroptosis.

Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation, plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). While sterol O-acyltransferase 2 (Soat2) is known for its crucial regulatory role in cholesterol homeostasis, its involvement in the development of AP remains unreported. We conducted this study to identify the pivotal role of Soat2 in AP using transcriptomic databases. Subsequently, we confirmed its alterations through both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Furthermore, we performed intervention with the Soat2 inhibitor avasimibe to evaluate pancreatic tissue pathology and serum enzymatic levels and observe inflammatory cell infiltration through immunohistochemistry. Additionally, changes in indicators related to ferroptosis were also observed. The results showed that in the AP mouse model, the protein and mRNA levels of Soat2 were significantly increased. Following avasimibe administration, there was a decrease in serum amylase levels, reduction in pancreatic tissue pathological damage, and attenuation of inflammatory cell infiltration. Furthermore, avasimibe administration resulted in downregulation of ferroptosis-related indicators. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the Soat2 inhibitor avasimibe protects against AP in mice through inhibition of the ferroptosis.

Rational Identification of Novel Antibody-Drug Conjugate with High Bystander Killing Effect against Heterogeneous Tumors.

Bystander-killing payloads can significantly overcome the tumor heterogeneity issue and enhance the clinical potential of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), but the rational design and identification of effective bystander warheads constrain the broader implementation of this strategy. Here, graph attention networks (GAT) are constructed for a rational bystander killing scoring model and ADC construction workflow for the first time. To generate efficient bystander-killing payloads, this model is utilized for score-directed exatecan derivatives design. Among them, Ed9, the most potent payload with satisfactory permeability and bioactivity, is further used to construct ADC. Through linker optimization and conjugation, novel ADCs are constructed that perform excellent anti-tumor efficacy and bystander-killing effect in vivo and in vitro. The optimal conjugate T-VEd9 exhibited therapeutic efficacy superior to DS-8201 against heterogeneous tumors. These results demonstrate that the effective scoring approach can pave the way for the discovery of novel ADC with promising bystander payloads to combat tumor heterogeneity.

Discovery of N-(1-(6-Oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine)-pyrazole) Acetamide Derivatives as Novel Noncovalent DprE1 Inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Decaprenylphosphoryl-ß-d-ribose oxidase (DprE1) is a promising target for treating tuberculosis (TB). Currently, most novel DprE1 inhibitors are discovered through high-throughput screening, while computer-aided drug design (CADD) strategies are expected to promote the discovery process. In this study, with the aid of structure-based virtual screening and computationally guided design, a series of novel scaffold N-(1-(6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine)-pyrazole) acetamide derivatives with significant antimycobacterial activities were identified. Among them, compounds LK-60 and LK-75 are capable of effectively suppressing the proliferation of Mtb with MICMtb values of 0.78-1.56 µM, comparable with isoniazid and much superior to the phase II candidate TBA-7371 (MICMtb = 12.5 µM). LK-60 is also the most active DprE1 inhibitor derived from CADD so far. Further studies confirmed their high affinity to DprE1, good safety profiles to gut microbiota and human cells, and synergy effects with either rifampicin or ethambutol, indicating their broad potential for clinical applications.

ADCdb: the database of antibody-drug conjugates.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a class of innovative biopharmaceutical drugs, which, via their antibody (mAb) component, deliver and release their potent warhead (a.k.a. payload) at the disease site, thereby simultaneously improving the efficacy of delivered therapy and reducing its off-target toxicity. To design ADCs of promising efficacy, it is crucial to have the critical data of pharma-information and biological activities for each ADC. However, no such database has been constructed yet. In this study, a database named ADCdb focusing on providing ADC information (especially its pharma-information and biological activities) from multiple perspectives was thus developed. Particularly, a total of 6572 ADCs (359 approved by FDA or in clinical trial pipeline, 501 in preclinical test, 819 with in-vivo testing data, 1868 with cell line/target testing data, 3025 without in-vivo/cell line/target testing data) together with their explicit pharma-information was collected and provided. Moreover, a total of 9171 literature-reported activities were discovered, which were identified from diverse clinical trial pipelines, model organisms, patient/cell-derived xenograft models, etc. Due to the significance of ADCs and their relevant data, this new database was expected to attract broad interests from diverse research fields of current biopharmaceutical drug discovery. The ADCdb is now publicly accessible at: https://idrblab.org/adcdb/.

A Microenvironment-responsive small-molecule probe and application in quick acute myocardial infarction imaging.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients are at an elevated risk for life-threatening myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Early-stage nonradioactive and noninvasive diagnosis of AMI is imperative for the subsequent disease treatment, yet it presents substantial challenges. After AMI, the myocardium typically exhibits elevated levels of peroxynitrite (ONOO-), constituting a distinct microenvironmental feature. In this context, the near-infrared imaging probe (BBEB) is employed to precisely delineate the boundaries of AMI lesions with a high level of sensitivity and specificity by monitoring endogenous ONOO-. This probe allows for the early detection of myocardial damage at cellular and animal levels, providing exceptional temporal and spatial resolution. Notably, BBEB enables visualization of ONOO- level alterations during AMI treatment incorporating antioxidant drugs. Overall, BBEB can rapidly and accurately visualize myocardial injury, particularly in the early stages, and can further facilitate antioxidant drug screening.

Discovery of a potent and selective PARP1 degrader promoting cell cycle arrest via intercepting CDC25C-CDK1 axis for treating triple-negative breast cancer.

PARP1 is a multifaceted component of DNA repair and chromatin remodeling, making it an effective therapeutic target for cancer therapy. The recently reported proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC) could effectively degrade PARP1 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, expanding the therapeutic application of PARP1 blocking. In this study, a series of nitrogen heterocyclic PROTACs were designed and synthesized through ternary complex simulation analysis based on our previous work. Our efforts have resulted in a potent PARP1 degrader D6 (DC50 = 25.23 nM) with high selectivity due to nitrogen heterocyclic linker generating multiple interactions with the PARP1-CRBN PPI surface, specifically. Moreover, D6 exhibited strong cytotoxicity to triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 1.04 µM). And the proteomic results showed that the antitumor mechanism of D6 was found that intensifies DNA damage by intercepting the CDC25C-CDK1 axis to halt cell cycle transition in triple-negative breast cancer cells. Furthermore, in vivo study, D6 showed a promising PK property with moderate oral absorption activity. And D6 could effectively inhibit tumor growth (TGI rate = 71.4 % at 40 mg/kg) without other signs of toxicity in MDA-MB-321 tumor-bearing mice. In summary, we have identified an original scaffold and potent PARP1 PROTAC that provided a novel intervention strategy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Bile acid metabolomics identifies chenodeoxycholic acid as a therapeutic agent for pancreatic necrosis.

Bile acids are altered and associated with prognosis in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Here, we conduct targeted metabolomic analyses to detect bile acids changes in patients during the acute (n = 326) and the recovery (n = 133) phases of AP, as well as in healthy controls (n = 60). Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) decreases in the acute phase, increases in the recovery phase, and is associated with pancreatic necrosis. CDCA and its derivative obeticholic acid exhibit a protective effect against acinar cell injury in vitro and pancreatic necrosis in murine models, and RNA sequencing reveals that the oxidative phosphorylation pathway is mainly involved. Moreover, we find that overexpression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR, CDCA receptor) inhibits pancreatic necrosis, and interfering expression of FXR exhibits an opposite phenotype in mice. Our results possibly suggest that targeting CDCA is a potential strategy for the treatment of acinar cell necrosis in AP, but further verification is needed.

Targeted delivery of cathepsin-activatable near-infrared fluorescence probe for ultrahigh specific imaging of peritoneal metastasis.

Inadequate cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has been identified as a prognostic factor for poor patient outcomes in cases of peritoneal metastasis. While imaging probes are used to identify peritoneal metastasis to facilitate CRS, many of these probes exhibit high background signals, resulting in a significant delay in achieving a satisfactory tumor-to-normal ratio (TNR) due to prolonged clearance time. In this study, we designed a novel fluorescent probe named Tras-AA-Cy NH2, which enables the relatively rapid imaging of subcutaneous tumors and peritoneal tumors while maintaining a high TNR. Mechanistically, Tras-AA-Cy NH2 exhibits selective targeting towards the Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 on the surface of cancer cells. Following internalization, it undergoes enzymatic cleavage catalyzed by the overexpressed cathepsin, leading to the subsequent release of near-infrared fluorophores. Consequently, Tras-AA-Cy NH2 achieved a TNR of 7.8 at 6 h and 21.4 at 24 h in subcutaneous tumor mice. Even after 522 h of in vivo circulation, the TNR remained above 5, indicating an ultralong imaging time window. It is noteworthy that Tras-AA-Cy NH2 has demonstrated successful utilization for peritoneal tumor-specific imaging and further affirmed its tumor tissue-specific recognition capability using human resected tissues. In summary, these findings underscore the rational design of Tras-AA-Cy NH2 for visualizing peritoneal tumors.

Identification of Potential JNK3 Inhibitors: A Combined Approach Using Molecular Docking and Deep Learning-Based Virtual Screening.

JNK3, a member of the MAPK family, plays a pivotal role in mediating cellular responses to stress signals, with its activation implicated in a myriad of inflammatory conditions. While JNK3 holds promise as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases, there remains a gap in the market for effective JNK3 inhibitors. Despite some pan-JNK inhibitors reaching clinical trials, no JNK-targeted therapies have achieved market approval. To bridge this gap, our study introduces a sophisticated virtual screening approach. We begin with an energy-based screening, subsequently integrating a variety of rescoring techniques. These encompass glide docking scores, MM/GBSA, and artificial scoring mechanisms such as DeepDock and advanced Graph Neural Networks. This virtual screening workflow is designed to evaluate and identify potential small-molecule inhibitors with high binding affinity. We have implemented a virtual screening workflow to identify potential candidate molecules. This process has resulted in the selection of ten molecules. Subsequently, these ten molecules have undergone biological activity evaluation to assess their potential efficacy. Impressively, molecule compound 6 surfaced as the most promising, exhibiting a potent kinase inhibitory activity marked by an IC50 of 130.1 nM and a notable reduction in TNF-α release within macrophages. This suggests that compound 6 could potentially serve as an effective inhibitor for the treatment of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. The prospect of further medicinal modifications to optimize compound 6 presents a promising avenue for future research and development in this field. Utilizing binding pose metadynamics coupled with molecular dynamics simulations, we delved into the explicit binding mode of compound 6 to JNK3. Such insights pave the way for refined drug development strategies. Collectively, our results underscore the efficacy of the hybrid virtual screening workflow in the identification of robust JNK3 inhibitors, holding promise for innovative treatments against neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders.

Discovery of Novel Oxazepine Derivatives as Akt/ROCK Inhibitors for Growth Arrest and Differentiation Induction in Neuroblastoma Treatment.

Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma face limited treatment choices, typically involving a combination of cytotoxic and differentiation maintenance therapies due to a scarcity of drugs. Evidence suggests that targeted inhibitors may provide opportunities for inducing neuroblastoma differentiation while inhibiting proliferation. Here, we demonstrate the synergistic effect of inhibiting Akt and ROCK in antineuroblastoma and present the design and discovery of a new Akt/ROCK inhibitor, B12. It displays strong antiproliferative effects and excellent differentiation inducing activity against Neuro2a cells. Treatment with B12 results in the arrest of G0/G1 cell cycles, a significant decrease in N-myc protein level, and an increase in differentiation markers. The administration of B12 effectively suppresses xenograft tumor growth and promotes differentiation. Overall, the discovery of B12 based on the Akt/ROCK dual inhibition strategy may provide hope for the development of more effective and targeted therapies for this challenging disease.

TransFoxMol: predicting molecular property with focused attention.

Predicting the biological properties of molecules is crucial in computer-aided drug development, yet it's often impeded by data scarcity and imbalance in many practical applications. Existing approaches are based on self-supervised learning or 3D data and using an increasing number of parameters to improve performance. These approaches may not take full advantage of established chemical knowledge and could inadvertently introduce noise into the respective model. In this study, we introduce a more elegant transformer-based framework with focused attention for molecular representation (TransFoxMol) to improve the understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) of molecular structure property relationships. TransFoxMol incorporates a multi-scale 2D molecular environment into a graph neural network + Transformer module and uses prior chemical maps to obtain a more focused attention landscape compared to that obtained using existing approaches. Experimental results show that TransFoxMol achieves state-of-the-art performance on MoleculeNet benchmarks and surpasses the performance of baselines that use self-supervised learning or geometry-enhanced strategies on small-scale datasets. Subsequent analyses indicate that TransFoxMol's predictions are highly interpretable and the clever use of chemical knowledge enables AI to perceive molecules in a simple but rational way, enhancing performance.

Stochastic Stabilization of Dual-Layer Rumor Propagation Model with Multiple Channels and Rumor-Detection Mechanism.

With the development of information technology, individuals are able to receive rumor information through various channels and subsequently act based on their own perceptions. The significance of the disparity between media and individual cognition in the propagation of rumors cannot be underestimated. In this paper, we establish a dual-layer rumor propagation model considering the differences in individual cognition to study the propagation behavior of rumors in multiple channels. Firstly, we obtain the threshold for rumor disappearance or persistence by solving the equilibrium points and their stability. The threshold is related to the number of media outlets and the number of rumor debunkers. Moreover, we have innovatively designed a class of non-periodic intermittent noise stabilization methods to suppress rumor propagation. This method can effectively control rumor propagation based on a flexible control scheme, and we provide specific expressions for the control intensity. Finally, we have validated the accuracy of the theoretical proofs through experimental simulations.
