Treatment Of Diabetes

Diabetes is a disorder which is characterized by increase in blood glucose level beyond normal value. Now days it is a metabolic disorder and considered as one of the major cause for the death of patients worldwide. Hence there is always a need for the development of newer scaffolds which are useful in treatment of diabetes. In the research computational chemistry plays an important role to discover new possible medicines. In this work, docking analysis has been carried out to study the effects of substituted pyrimidin-2-one on Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4). Docking study shows that compound A5 having 2,4-difluorophenyl and 2-hydroxy phenyl group has a potent (IC50 28.13 µM), selective and in vitro efficacious DPP-4 inhibitor. Further molecular modeling revealed compound A5 can fit in the enzyme pocket topologically very well with the pyrimidin-2-one moiety providing hydrogen bond interaction with Glu 205 and Ser 209 of DPP-4. Based on these results, compound A5 might be a promising lead compound for further optimization in the treatment of T2DM.

AbstractHSP90 is observed as one of the copious molecular chaperones that play a key role in mediating appropriate folding, maturation, and firmness of many client proteins in cells. The expression rate of HSP90 in cancer cells is at a level of 2- to 10-fold higher than the 1- to 2-fold of its unstressed and healthy ones. To combat this, several inhibitors to HSP90 protein have been studied (such as geldanamycin and its derivative 17-AAG and 17-DMAG) and have shown some primary side effects including plague, nausea, vomiting, and liver toxicity, hence the search for the best-in-class inhibitor for this protein through in silico. This study is aimed at analyzing the inhibitory potency of oxypeucedanin-a furocoumarin derivations, which have been reported to have antipoliferative activity in human prostrate carcinoma DN145 cells, and three other drug candidates retrieved from the literature via computational docking studies. The results showed oxypeucedanin as the compound with the highest binding energy of −9.2 kcal/mol. The molecular docking study was carried out using PyRx, Auto Dock Vina option, and the target was validated to confirm the proper target and the docking procedure employed for this study.

Lipinski’S Rule Of Five

Background: Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, with predicted numbers of about 700 million adults affected by 2045. Among the several anti-diabetic drug therapies available in the market, Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach with scope for exploration in the segment of peptidomimetics. Objective: Series of proline-containing peptidomimetic compounds were designed and investigated for their drug-likeness through Lipinski’s rule of five, lead-likeness through the rule of three, predictive pharmacokinetic studies (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), and toxicity properties through in-silico approaches. The designed compounds were evaluated for their interactions with binding sites of the enzyme DPP-4 using an extra precision docking approach. Methods: Proline-containing peptidomimetic compounds were designed rationally. Drug-likeness and lead-likeness properties were calculated using Schrödinger Maestro v11.2 software. ADME and toxicity properties were predicted using PreADMET version 2.0. Docking study was performed using Schrödinger Maestro v11.2 software, and ligands for the study were designed using MarvinSketch software. Results: 5(S)-methyl-L-proline containing 17 ligands were designed. All of them were found to obey Lipinski’s rule of five. Compounds were found to have good ADME profile and low toxicity predictions. Conclusion: Four compounds were found to have good interactions with DPP-4 binding sites and hence created the scope to develop a DPP-4 inhibitors containing 5(S)-methyl-L-proline moiety.

Developmental Remodeling

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), a transmembrane protein, has been identified in human adipose tissue and is considered to be associated with obesity-related type 2 diabetes. Since adipose tissue is relatively hypoxic in obese participants, we investigated the expression of DPP4 in human preadipocytes (hPA) and adipocytes in hypoxia, during differentiation and upon insulin stimulation. The results show that DPP4 is abundantly expressed in hPA but very sparsely in adipocytes. During differentiationin vitro, the expression of DPP4 in hPA is reduced on the addition of differentiation medium, indicating that this protein can be hPA marker. Long term hypoxia altered the expression of DPP4 in hPA. Inin vitrohypoxic conditions the protease activity of shed DPP4 is reduced; however, in the presence of insulin, the increase in DPP4 expression is potentiated by hypoxia.

The current study accentuates the significance of performing the multiplex approach of LC-HRESIMS, biological activity, and docking studies in drug discovery, taking into consideration a review of the literature. In this regard, the investigation of antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of Trigonella stellata collected from the Egyptian desert revealed a significant antioxidant capacity using DPPH with IC50 = 656.9 µg/mL and a moderate cytotoxicity against HepG2, MCF7, and CACO2, with IC50 values of 53.3, 48.3, and 55.8 µg/mL, respectively. The evaluation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents resulted in 32.8 mg GAE/g calculated as gallic acid equivalent and 5.6 mg RE/g calculated as rutin equivalent, respectively. Chemical profiling of T. stellata extract, using LC-HRESIMS analysis, revealed the presence of 15 metabolites, among which eleven compounds were detected for the first time in this species. Interestingly, in vitro testing of the antidiabetic activity of the alcoholic extract noted an α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 559.4 µg/mL) better than that of the standard Acarbose (IC50 = 799.9 µg/mL), in addition to a moderate inhibition of the α-amylase enzyme (IC50 = 0.77 µg/mL) compared to Acarbose (IC50 = 0.21 µg/mL). α-Glucosidase inhibition was also virtualized by binding interactions through the molecular docking study, presenting a high binding activity of six flavonoid glycosides, as well as the diterpenoid compound graecumoside A and the alkaloid fenugreekine. Taken together, the conglomeration of LC-HRESIMS, antidiabetic activity, and molecular docking studies shed light on T. stellata as a promising antidiabetic herb.
