A number of crystal structures have been published. Molecular docking is one of the most effective techniques in the field of computer-aided drug design（CADD）. Appropriate protein conformation and docking method are essential for the successful virtual screening experiments. One approach considering protein flexibility and multiple docking methods was proposed in this study. Six DFG-in/αC-helix-out crystal structures of BRAF, three docking programs（Glide, GOLD and Ligand Fit） and 12 scoring functions were applied for the best combination by judging from the results of pose prediction and retrospective virtual screening（VS）. The most accurate results（mean RMSD of about 0.6 A） of pose prediction were obtained with two complex structures（PDB： 3 C4 C and 3 SKC） using Glide SP. From the retrospective VS, the most active compounds were identified by using the complex structure of 3 SKC, indicated by a ROC/AUC score of 0.998 and an EF of 20.6 at 5% of the database screen with Glide-SP. On the whole, PDB 3 SKC could achieve a higher rate of correct reproduction, a better enrichment and more diverse compounds. A comparison of 3 SKC and the other X-ray crystal structures led to a rationale for the docking results. PDB 3 SKC could achieve a broad range of sulfonamide substitutions through an expanded hydrophobic pocket formed by a further shift of the αC-helix. Our study emphasized the necessity and significance of protein flexibility and scoring functions in both ligand docking and virtual screening.展开更多

Weight reduction is an important goal for many people with type 2 diabetes.Bariatric surgery is no longer considered a last resort treatment. Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists given by injection are emerging as a useful treatment since they not only lower blood sugar but are associated with a modest weight reduction. The role of the oral dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors is emerging as second line treatment ahead of sulphonylureas due to a possible beneficial effect on the beta cell and weight neutrality.Drugs which inhibit glucose re-absorption in the kidney,sodium/glucose co-transport 2 inhibitors, may have a role in the treatment of diabetes. Insulin treatment still remains the cornerstone of treatment in many patients with type 2 diabetes.展开更多

The aim of the study was to examine the determinants of plasma PAI-1 Ag level among type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: 491 Tunisian type 2 diabetes patients had clinical evaluation (weight, high, BMI, Waist Circumference), laboratory investigations including FBG Hb1Ac, cholesterol, triglyceride;HDL-cholesterol was done;plasma PAI-1 antigen level was done with ELISA;−675 4G/5G and −844 G/A polymorphisms of PAI-1 gene was done by PCR-ASA and PCR-RFLP respectively. Results: The mean age for our patients was 58.3 ± 10.5 years;sex-ratio = 0.92;mean PAI-1 level was 34.6 ± 21.3 ng/ml. We didn’t find correlation between PAI-1 level and BMI, but we have found significant correlation between PAI-1 and waist circumference (p = 0.032), most enhanced in men (P = 0.002), T2D patients who have FBG > 11 mmol/l had PAI-1 Ag level higher than those who have FBG P = 0.034), but no difference found between T2D with high Hb1Ac > 8% and those with Hb1Ac < 8%, significant correlation was seen between PAI-1 level and LDL-cholesterol (P = 0.05), high correlation between PAI-1 Ag level and −675 4G/5G polymorphism genotype was seen, 4G/4G carriers had the highest PAI-1 level, 4G/5G had intermediary level and 5G/5G had the lowest level (P −844G/A polymorphism genotypes. Using multiple variable linear regression analysis, the independent factor associated with plasma PAI-1 level was −675 4G/5G polymorphism (regression coefficient β = 4.6, P Conclusion: the present study identifies −675 4G/5G not −844 G/A polymorphism of PAI gene as the principal determinant of plasma PAI-1 level in Tunisian T2D patients, the android fat distribution, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia play a modest role in this variation.展开更多

Methods: Ninety cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients were selected, and randomly divided into LG small dosage group (SDG), LG large dosage group (LDG) and control group. The 120 mg LG, 400 mg LG and normal saline 250 ml were given through intravenous dripping respectively, once daily, 20 days as one treatment course. Before and after treatment, all the patients had their fasting blood taken for PAI-1 and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) assessment test to perform the comparative study. Results:Seventy-three out of the 90 patients completed the observation course, the PAI-1 activity of three groups after treatment all lowered compared with that before treatment, and the difference between groups was also significant (all P<0. 01). After treatment the PAI-1 level of SDG and LDG of LG were all markedly lowered (all P<0. 01), the LDG's lowering was more evident than that of SDG, and comparison between these two groups of patients showed significant difference (P<0. 01). Although in the control group there was some difference between before and after treatment, it was not so significant like the above-mentioned two groups (P = 0. 0140). No adverse reaction occurred in the 3 groups during the observation period. Conclusion:LG could safely and effectively lower type 2 diabetes mellitus patient's plasma PAI-1 activity level, and LDG of LG proved to be particularly effective.展开更多

In order to understand the structural requirement of PTP-1B inhibitors, 52 oleanolic acid derivatives were divided into a training set （34 compounds） and a test set （18 compounds）. The highly reliable and predictive 3D-QSAR models were constructed by CoMFA, CoMSIA and topomer CoMFA methods, respectively. The results showed that the cross validated coefficient （q2） and non-cross-validated coefficient （R2） were 0.554 and 0.999 in the CoMFA model, 0.675 and 0.971 in the CoMSIA model, and 0.628 and 0.939 in the topomer CoMFA model, which suggests that three models are robust and have good exterior predictive capabilities. Furthermore, ten novel inhibitors with much higher inhibitory potency were designed. Our design strategy was that （i） the electronegative substituents （Cl, -CH2OH, OH and -CH2Cl） were introduced into the double bond of ring C, （ii） the hydrogen bond acceptor groups （C≡N and N atom）, electronegative groups （C≡N, N atom, -COOH and -COOCH3） and bulky substituents （C6H5N） were connected to the C-3 position, which would result in generating potent and selective PTP-1B inhibitors. We expect that the results in this paper have the potential to facilitate the process of design and to develop new potent PTP-1B inhibitors.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors(SGLT-2i)and glucagon-like-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA)are antidiabetic agents effective both in hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)reduction(with a low risk of hypoglycemia)and cardiovascular event prevention.In patients with type 2 diabetes,the add-on value of combination therapy of GLP-1RA and an SGLT-2i seems promising.AIM To investigate whether the efficacy of GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i combination observed in randomized controlled trials translates into therapeutic benefits in the Croatian population during routine clinical practice and follow-up.METHODS We included 200 type 2 diabetes patients with poor glycemic control and analyzed the effects of treatment intensification with(1)GLP-1RA on top of SGLT-2i,(2)SGLT-2i on top of GLP-1RA compared to(3)simultaneous addition of both agents.The primary study endpoint was the proportion of participants with HbA1c<7.0%and/or 5%bodyweight reduction.Secondary outcomes included changes in fasting plasma glucose(FPG),prandial plasma glucose,lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and cardiovascular(CV)incidents assessment over a follow-up period of 12 mo.RESULTS The majority of patients were over 65-years-old,had diabetes duration for more than 10 years.The initial body mass index was 39.41±5.49 kg/m2 and HbA1c 8.32±1.26%.Around half of the patients in all three groups achieved target HbA1c below 7%.A more pronounced decrease in the HbA1c seen with simultaneous SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA therapy was a result of higher baseline HbA1c and not the effect of initiating combination therapy.The number of patients achieving FPG below 7.0 mmol/L was significantly higher in the SGLT-2i group(P=0.021),and 5%weight loss was dominantly achieved in the simultaneous therapy group(P=0.044).A composite outcome(reduction of HbA1c below 7%(53 mmol/mol)with 5%weight loss)was achieved in 32.3%of total patients included in the study.Only 18.2%of patients attained composite outcome defined as HbA1c below 7%(53 mmol/mol)with 5%weight loss and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol<2.5 mmol/L.There were no significant differences between treatment groups.No differences were observed regarding CV incidents or eGFR according to treatment group over a follow-up period.CONCLUSION Combination therapy with GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i is effective in terms of metabolic control,although it remains to be determined whether simultaneous or sequential intensification is better.
文摘Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus(FT1DM)is a subtype of type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by an abrupt onset and a rapid and complete functional loss of isletβcells.It is a very rare disease generally associated with ketoacidosis and the absence of circulating pancreatic islet-related autoantibodies.Diabetic ketoacidosis with normal blood glucose levels has been reported during sodiumglucose co-transporter 2(SGLT2)inhibitor therapy.CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 43-year-old woman that consulted a medical practitioner for malaise,thirst,and vomiting.Blood analysis showed high blood glucose levels(428 mg/dL),a mild increase of hemoglobin A1c(6.6%),and increased ketone bodies in urine.The patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The patient was initially treated with insulin,which was subsequently changed to an oral SGLT2 inhibitor.Antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase were negative.Four days after receiving oral SGLT2 inhibitor,she consulted at Mie University Hospital,complaining of fatigue and vomiting.Laboratory analysis revealed diabetic ketoacidosis with almost normal blood glucose levels.The endogenous insulin secretion was markedly low,and the serum levels of islet-related autoantibodies were undetectable.We made the diagnosis of FT1DM with concurrent SGLT2 inhibitor-associated euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis.The patient's general condition improved after therapy with intravenous insulin and withdrawal of oral medication.She was discharged on day 14 with an indication of multiple daily insulin therapy.CONCLUSION This patient is a rare case of FT1DM that developed SGLT2 inhibitor-associated diabetic ketoacidosis with almost normal blood glucose levels.This case report underscores the importance of considering the diagnosis of FT1DM in patients with negative circulating autoantibodies and a history of hyperglycemia that subsequently develop euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis following treatment with a SGLT2 inhibitor.

文摘Objective: To observe the effect of different dosages of ligustrazine (LG) on the level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Ninety cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients were selected, and randomly divided into LG small dosage group (SDG), LG large dosage group (LDG) and control group. The 120 mg LG, 400 mg LG and normal saline 250 ml were given through intravenous dripping respectively, once daily, 20 days as one treatment course. Before and after treatment, all the patients had their fasting blood taken for PAI-1 and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) assessment test to perform the comparative study. Results:Seventy-three out of the 90 patients completed the observation course, the PAI-1 activity of three groups after treatment all lowered compared with that before treatment, and the difference between groups was also significant (all P<0. 01). After treatment the PAI-1 level of SDG and LDG of LG were all markedly lowered (all P<0. 01), the LDG's lowering was more evident than that of SDG, and comparison between these two groups of patients showed significant difference (P<0. 01). Although in the control group there was some difference between before and after treatment, it was not so significant like the above-mentioned two groups (P = 0. 0140). No adverse reaction occurred in the 3 groups during the observation period. Conclusion:LG could safely and effectively lower type 2 diabetes mellitus patient's plasma PAI-1 activity level, and LDG of LG proved to be particularly effective.
文摘目的探讨细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(ERK1/2)在转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)诱导的肺成纤维细胞合成Ⅰ、Ⅲ型胶原蛋白中的作用,及新型过氧化物酶Peroxiredoxin-1(Prx-1)对该作用的影响。方法体外培养肺成纤维细胞随机分为4组:对照组(0.4%血清)、TGF-β1组(5μg/L)、阴性转染组(TGF-β1+阴性对照si RNA)和Prx-1 si RNA转染组(TGF-β1+Prx-1 si RNA)。采用脂质体转染法转染si RNA,实时定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测转染后Prx-1 m RNA表达;Western blot检测Ⅰ和Ⅲ型胶原蛋白、ERK1/2及Prx-1表达;2,7-二氯荧光素二乙酸(DCFH-DA)检测活性氧(ROS)水平。结果 Prx-1 si RNA转染肺成纤维细胞后,Prx-1 m RNA表达明显降低,最大抑制率为92%。与对照组比较,TGF-β1组的Ⅰ和Ⅲ型胶原蛋白、ROS、磷酸化ERK1/2(p-ERK1/2)及Prx-1蛋白的表达水平均明显提高。与TGF-β1组比较,阴性转染组中的上述观察指标无明显变化,但Prx-1转染组的Ⅰ和Ⅲ型胶原蛋白、ROS、p-ERK1/2水平进一步提高,而Prx-1蛋白的表达被抑制。结论 TGF-β1能够诱导肺成纤维细胞生成ROS,并促进ERK1/2通路的激活,导致Ⅰ、Ⅲ型胶原蛋白合成增加,而Prx-1 si RNA可通过提高ROS水平进一步促进TGF-β1该作用。

文摘Oleanolic acid derivatives act as newer protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B （PTP-1B） inhibitors for type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）. In order to understand the structural requirement of PTP-1B inhibitors, 52 oleanolic acid derivatives were divided into a training set （34 compounds） and a test set （18 compounds）. The highly reliable and predictive 3D-QSAR models were constructed by CoMFA, CoMSIA and topomer CoMFA methods, respectively. The results showed that the cross validated coefficient （q2） and non-cross-validated coefficient （R2） were 0.554 and 0.999 in the CoMFA model, 0.675 and 0.971 in the CoMSIA model, and 0.628 and 0.939 in the topomer CoMFA model, which suggests that three models are robust and have good exterior predictive capabilities. Furthermore, ten novel inhibitors with much higher inhibitory potency were designed. Our design strategy was that （i） the electronegative substituents （Cl, -CH2OH, OH and -CH2Cl） were introduced into the double bond of ring C, （ii） the hydrogen bond acceptor groups （C≡N and N atom）, electronegative groups （C≡N, N atom, -COOH and -COOCH3） and bulky substituents （C6H5N） were connected to the C-3 position, which would result in generating potent and selective PTP-1B inhibitors. We expect that the results in this paper have the potential to facilitate the process of design and to develop new potent PTP-1B inhibitors.
