Currently, vaccination strategies provide limited protection against PRRSV infection, and consequently, new antiviral strategies are urgently required. Andrographolide(Andro) and its derivative potassium dehydrographolide succinate(PDS) have been used clinically in China and other Asian countries as therapies for inflammation-related diseases, including bacterial and viral infections, for decades. Here, we demonstrate that Andro and PDS exhibit robust activity against PRRSV replication in Marc-145 cells and primary porcine alveolar macrophages(PAMs). The two compounds exhibited broad-spectrum inhibitory activities in vitro against clinically circulating type 2 PRRSV GD-HD, XH-GD, and NADC30-like HNhx strains in China. The EC_(50)values of Andro against three tested PRRSV strain infections in Marc-145 cells ranged from 11.7 to 15.3 lmol/L, with selectivity indexes ranging from 8.3 to10.8, while the EC_(50)values of PDS ranged from 57.1 to 85.4 lmol/L, with selectivity indexes ranging from 344 to 515.Mechanistically, the anti-PRRSV activity of the two compounds is closely associated with their potent suppression on NFj B activation and enhanced oxidative stress induced by PRRSV infection. Further mechanistic investigations revealed that PDS, but not Andro, is able to directly interact with PRRSV particles. Taken together, our findings suggest that Andro and PDS are promising PRRSV inhibitors in vitro and deserves further in vivo studies in swine.展开更多

文摘Hexokinase 2(HK2)is the rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of glycolysis,catalyzing glucose to glucose-6-phosphate,and overexpressed in most cancer cells.HK2 also binds to voltage-dependent anion channel(VDAC)to stabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane,which inhibits cancer cell apoptosis.Therefore,HK2 has become a potential target for cancer treatment.Proteolysis targeting chimeras(PROTACs)are hetero-bifunctional molecules that recruit an E3 ubiquitin ligase to a given substrate protein resulting in its targeted degradation.Many potent and specific PROTACs targeting dissimilar targets have been developed.In this study,an HK2 PROTAC,4H-5P-M,was developed and induced the degradation of HK2 relying on the ubiquitin-proteasome system.It was found that 4H-5P-M as an effective HK2 degrader induced HK2 degradation in a dose-and time-dependent manner and suppressed the growth of SW480 cells.4H-5P-M selectively induced HK2 degradation at a lower concentration than other hexokinase isozymes.Moreover,it could suppress glycolysis and accelerate the apoptosis of cancer cells.Therefore,it provided a new insight into the development of anti-tumor drugs.

文摘Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A(DYRK1A)is the most promising target for diabetes treatment by promotingβ-cell proliferation.The desmethylbellidifolin(DMB)as a DYRK1A inhibitor could facilitateβ-cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro.However,DMB has the problem of weak binding affinity to DYRK1A,which means that continuous high concentration administration of DMB is effective for the diabetes.In order to solve this problem,we designed and synthesized a series of DMBbased proteolysis targeting chimeras(PROTACs)by taking advantage of the property of PROTAC that induce protein degradation in a cycle-catalytic manner.MDM2-based PROTAC X1-4P-MDM2 was identified as the most active PROTAC molecule.Mechanism research showed that X1-4P-MDM2 formed a ternary complex with DYRK1A and murine double minute 2(MDM2),and induced the degradation of DYRK1A through the ubiquitin-proteasome system pathway.At a dose much lower than that of DMB,X1-4PMDM2 still significantly enhancedβ-cell proliferation by inhibiting transforming growth factor beta(TGF-β)and promoting the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinase(MAPK/ERK)signaling pathway,which may provide a new strategy for the application of DMB in diabetes.

文摘SARS-CoV-2 has caused tens of thousands of infections and more than one thousand deaths.There are currently no registered therapies for treating coronavirus infections.Because of time consuming process of new drug development,drug repositioning may be the only solution to the epidemic of sudden infectious diseases.We systematically analyzed all the proteins encoded by SARS-CoV-2 genes,compared them with proteins from other coronavirnses,predicted their structures,and built 19 structures that could be done by homology modeling.By performing target-based virtual ligand screening,a total of21 targets(including two human targets)were screened against compound libraries including ZINC drug database and our own database of natural products.Structure and screening results of important targets such as 3-chymotrypsin-like protease(3 CLpro),Spike,RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp),and papain like protease(PLpro)were discussed in detail.In addition,a database of 78 commonly used antiviral drugs including those currently on the market and undergoing clinical trials for SARS-CoV-2 was constructed.Possible targets of these compounds and potential drugs acting on a certain target were predicted.This study will provide new lead compounds and targets for further in vitro and in vivo studies of SARS-CoV-2,new insights for those drugs currently ongoing clinical studies,and also possible new strategies for drug repositioning to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections.

文摘Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV) continues to cause significant economic loss worldwide and remains a serious threat to the pork industry. Currently, vaccination strategies provide limited protection against PRRSV infection, and consequently, new antiviral strategies are urgently required. Andrographolide(Andro) and its derivative potassium dehydrographolide succinate(PDS) have been used clinically in China and other Asian countries as therapies for inflammation-related diseases, including bacterial and viral infections, for decades. Here, we demonstrate that Andro and PDS exhibit robust activity against PRRSV replication in Marc-145 cells and primary porcine alveolar macrophages(PAMs). The two compounds exhibited broad-spectrum inhibitory activities in vitro against clinically circulating type 2 PRRSV GD-HD, XH-GD, and NADC30-like HNhx strains in China. The EC_(50)values of Andro against three tested PRRSV strain infections in Marc-145 cells ranged from 11.7 to 15.3 lmol/L, with selectivity indexes ranging from 8.3 to10.8, while the EC_(50)values of PDS ranged from 57.1 to 85.4 lmol/L, with selectivity indexes ranging from 344 to 515.Mechanistically, the anti-PRRSV activity of the two compounds is closely associated with their potent suppression on NFj B activation and enhanced oxidative stress induced by PRRSV infection. Further mechanistic investigations revealed that PDS, but not Andro, is able to directly interact with PRRSV particles. Taken together, our findings suggest that Andro and PDS are promising PRRSV inhibitors in vitro and deserves further in vivo studies in swine.

文摘To the Editor:Proteolysis Targeting Chimera(PROTAC)is an emerging approach to selectively degrading target proteins by utilizing endogenous proteasome.Since PROTACs can degrade target proteins without high affinity,it is natural to speculate that this technology can be used to identify the targets of natural products。Although a recent study reported the employment of PROTACs to explore the unknown non-kinase target of a multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib,whether PROTACs can be used to find the potential targets of natural products remains unexplored.

文摘Inhibitor targeting immune checkpoint is a promising new anticancer therapy.Blocking the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 can reverse the immunosuppression state and improve the lethality of immune cells to tumor cells.Here,we report PROTAC-based PD-L1 degraders to enhance T cell killing activity against melanoma.Four series of PD-L1 degraders were designed and synthesized to VHL,CRBN,MDM2 or c IAP E3 ligase system,in which CRBN-ligand-based compound BMS-37-C3 was identified as the most active PROTAC molecule.BMS-37-C3 also significantly enhanced the killing ability of T cells in a co-culture model of A375 and T cells.Furthermore,western blot data and flow cytometry demonstrated that BMS-37-C3 could reduce the protein levels of PD-L1 in dose and time dependent manner,which may provide a new therapeutic method for tumor immunotherapy.

文摘Reprogramming of energy metabolism is one of the basic characteristics of cancer and has been proved to be an important cancer treatment strategy.Isocitrate dehydrogenases(IDHs)are a class of key proteins in energy metabolism,including IDH1,IDH2,and IDH3,which are involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to yield a-ketoglutarate(a-KG).Mutants of IDH1 or IDH2 can produce D-2-hydroxyglutarate(D-2HG)with a-KG as the substrate,and then mediate the occurrence and development of cancer.At present,no IDH3 mutation has been reported.The results of pan-cancer research showed that IDH1 has a higher mutation frequency and involves more cancer types than IDH2,implying IDH1 as a promising anti-cancer target.Therefore,in this review,we summarized the regulatory mechanisms of IDH1 on cancer from four aspects:metabolic reprogramming,epigenetics,immune microenvironment,and phenotypic changes,which will provide guidance for the understanding of IDH1 and exploring leading-edge targeted treatment strategies.In addition,we also reviewed available IDH1 inhibitors so far.The detailed clinical trial results and diverse structures of preclinical candidates illustrated here will provide a deep insight into the research for the treatment of IDH1-related cancers.

文摘The effective removal and selective detection of explosive and toxic pollutant trinitrophenol (TNP) is an attractive but challenging field.Herein,a double-cavity nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (ns-Q[10])-based supramolecular assembly 8-HQ@ns-Q[10]was fabricated and its structure was characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction.In this assembly,the stoichiometric ratio of ns-Q[10]and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) is 1:2,which is also attributed to the special double-cavity structure of ns-Q[10].The luminescence sensing experiments showed that 8-HQ@ns-Q[10]can be used as a good fluorescence-enhanced sensing material (enhanced 27-fold) for the rapid detection of explosives and the aqueous contaminant TNP,with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.07×10^(-5)mol/L,without interference from other phenolic compounds.Furthermore,TNP can be efficiently removed in the presence of assembly 8-HQ@ns-Q[10],and the removal efficiency is more than 89%.Therefore,the supramolecular assembly 8-HQ@ns-Q[10],as a fluorescenceenhanced luminescence sensor and adsorption material,has rich research value and potential application prospect when applied to the detection and removal of TNP in aqueous environment.

文摘Ibrutinib is a first-line treatment drug for B-cell malignancies.However,resistance to ibrutinib has been reported due to BTKC481Smutation.Although PROTAC strategy is expected to overcome this clinical resistance,it has limitations such as large molecular weight and moderate bioactivity,which restrict its potential clinical application.Herein,we report a new type of potent BTKC481S-targeting PROTAC degrader.Through design,computer-assisted optimization and SAR studies,we have developed a representative BTKC481Sdegrader L6 with a much smaller molecular weight and improved solubility.Notably,L6 demonstrates better BTK degrading activity and lower IC50value in ibrutinib-resistant cell line than the first-generation BTK degrader P13I.Optimization strategy of L6 provides a general approach in the development of PROTACs targeting BTK and other proteins for future study.
