To Pass or Not To Pass: Predicting the Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability with the 3D-RISM-KH Molecular Solvation Theory.

ABSTRACT: Predicting the ability of chemical species to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an active field of research for development and mechanistic understanding in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we report the BBB permeability of a large data set of compounds by incorporating molecular solvation energy descriptors computed by the 3D-RISM-KH molecular solvation theory. We have been able to show, for the first time, that the computed excess chemical potential in different solvents can be successfully used to predict permeability of compounds in a binary manner (yes/no) via a minimum-descriptor-based model. Our findings successfully combine the molecular solvation theory with the machine learning approach to address one of the most daunting challenges in predictive structure-activity relationship modeling. The workflow presented in this work is simple enough to be used by nonexperts with ease.

Understanding the Liquid States of Cyclic Hydrocarbons Containing N, O, and S Atoms via the 3D-RISM-KH Molecular Solvation Theory.

Project description:The 3D-reference interaction site model (3D-RISM) molecular solvation theory in combination with the Kovalenko-Hirata (KH) closure is extended to seven heterocyclic liquids to understand their liquid states and to test the performance of the theory in solvation free energy (SFE) calculations of solutes in select solvents. The computed solvent site distribution profiles were compared with the all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, showing comparable performances. The computational results were compared against the structural parameters for liquids, whenever available, as well as against the experimental SFEs. The liquids are found to have local ordered structures held together via weak interactions in both the RISM and MD simulations. The 3D-RISM-KH computed SFEs are in good agreement with the benchmark values for the tetrahydrothiophene-S,S-dioxide, and showed comparatively larger deviations in the case of the SFEs in the tetrahydrofuran continuum.

Calculation of local water densities in biological systems: a comparison of molecular dynamics simulations and the 3D-RISM-KH molecular theory of solvation.

Project description:Water plays a unique role in all living organisms. Not only is it nature's ubiquitous solvent, but it also actively takes part in many cellular processes. In particular, the structure and properties of interfacial water near biomolecules such as proteins are often related to the function of the respective molecule. It can therefore be highly instructive to study the local water density around solutes in cellular systems, particularly when solvent-mediated forces such as the hydrophobic effect are relevant. Computational methods such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations seem well suited to study these systems at the atomic level. However, due to sampling requirements, it is not clear that MD simulations are, indeed, the method of choice to obtain converged densities at a given level of precision. We here compare the calculation of local water densities with two different methods: MD simulations and the three-dimensional reference interaction site model with the Kovalenko-Hirata closure (3D-RISM-KH). In particular, we investigate the convergence of the local water density to assess the required simulation times for different levels of resolution. Moreover, we provide a quantitative comparison of the densities calculated with MD and with 3D-RISM-KH and investigate the effect of the choice of the water model for both methods. Our results show that 3D-RISM-KH yields density distributions that are very similar to those from MD up to a 0.5 Å resolution, but for significantly reduced computational cost. The combined use of MD and 3D-RISM-KH emerges as an auspicious perspective for efficient solvent sampling in dynamical systems.

A Cavity Corrected 3D-RISM Functional for Accurate Solvation Free Energies.

Project description:We show that an Ng bridge function modified version of the three-dimensional reference interaction site model (3D-RISM-NgB) solvation free energy method can accurately predict the hydration free energy (HFE) of a set of 504 organic molecules. To achieve this, a single unique constant parameter was adjusted to the computed HFE of single atom Lennard-Jones solutes. It is shown that 3D-RISM is relatively accurate at predicting the electrostatic component of the HFE without correction but requires a modification of the nonpolar contribution that originates in the formation of the cavity created by the solute in water. We use a free energy functional with the Ng scaling of the direct correlation function [Ng, K. C. J. Chem. Phys.1974, 61, 2680]. This produces a rapid, reliable small molecule HFE calculation for applications in drug design.

The SAMPL6 challenge on predicting octanol-water partition coefficients from EC-RISM theory.

Project description:Results are reported for octanol-water partition coefficients (log P) of the neutral states of drug-like molecules provided during the SAMPL6 (Statistical Assessment of Modeling of Proteins and Ligands) blind prediction challenge from applying the "embedded cluster reference interaction site model" (EC-RISM) as a solvation model for quantum-chemical calculations. Following the strategy outlined during earlier SAMPL challenges we first train 1- and 2-parameter water-free ("dry") and water-saturated ("wet") models for n-octanol solvation Gibbs energies with respect to experimental values from the "Minnesota Solvation Database" (MNSOL), yielding a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.5 kcal mol-1 for the best-performing 2-parameter wet model, while the optimal water model developed for the pKa part of the SAMPL6 challenge is kept unchanged (RMSE 1.6 kcal mol-1 for neutral compounds from a model trained on both neutral and ionic species). Applying these models to the blind prediction set yields a log P RMSE of less than 0.5 for our best model (2-parameters, wet). Further analysis of our results reveals that a single compound is responsible for most of the error, SM15, without which the RMSE drops to 0.2. Since this is the only compound in the challenge dataset with a hydroxyl group we investigate other alcohols for which Gibbs energy of solvation data for both water and n-octanol are available in the MNSOL database to demonstrate a systematic cause of error and to discuss strategies for improvement.

Molecular Recognition and Self-Organization in Life Phenomena Studied by a Statistical Mechanics of Molecular Liquids, the RISM/3D-RISM Theory.

Project description:There are two molecular processes that are essential for living bodies to maintain their life: the molecular recognition, and the self-organization or self-assembly. Binding of a substrate by an enzyme is an example of the molecular recognition, while the protein folding is a good example of the self-organization process. The two processes are further governed by the other two physicochemical processes: solvation and the structural fluctuation. In the present article, the studies concerning the two molecular processes carried out by Hirata and his coworkers, based on the statistical mechanics of molecular liquids or the RISM/3D-RISM theory, are reviewed.

3D-RISM-AI: A Machine Learning Approach to Predict Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Using 3D-RISM.

Project description:Hydration free energy (HFE) is a key factor in improving protein-ligand binding free energy (BFE) prediction accuracy. The HFE itself can be calculated using the three-dimensional reference interaction model (3D-RISM); however, the BFE predictions solely evaluated using 3D-RISM are not correlated to the experimental BFE for abundant protein-ligand pairs. In this study, to predict the BFE for multiple sets of protein-ligand pairs, we propose a machine learning approach incorporating the HFEs obtained using 3D-RISM, termed 3D-RISM-AI. In the learning process, structural metrics, intra-/intermolecular energies, and HFEs obtained via 3D-RISM of ∼4000 complexes in the PDBbind database (ver. 2018) were used. The BFEs predicted using 3D-RISM-AI were well correlated to the experimental data (Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.80 and root-mean-square error of 1.91 kcal/mol). As important factors for the prediction, the difference in the solvent accessible surface area between the bound and unbound structures and the hydration properties of the ligands were detected during the learning process.

SAMPL7 physical property prediction from EC-RISM theory.

Project description:Inspired by the successful application of the embedded cluster reference interaction site model (EC-RISM), a combination of quantum-mechanical calculations with three-dimensional RISM theory to predict Gibbs energies of species in solution within the SAMPL6.1 (acidity constants, pKa) and SAMPL6.2 (octanol-water partition coefficients, log P) the methodology was applied to the recent SAMPL7 physical property challenge on aqueous pKa and octanol-water log P values. Not part of the challenge but provided by the organizers, we also computed distribution coefficients log D7.4 from predicted pKa and log P data. While macroscopic pKa predictions compared very favorably with experimental data (root mean square error, RMSE 0.72 pK units), the performance of the log P model (RMSE 1.84) fell behind expectations from the SAMPL6.2 challenge, leading to reasonable log D7.4 predictions (RMSE 1.69) from combining the independent calculations. In the post-submission phase, conformations generated by different methodology yielded results that did not significantly improve the original predictions. While overall satisfactory compared to previous log D challenges, the predicted data suggest that further effort is needed for optimizing the robustness of the partition coefficient model within EC-RISM calculations and for shaping the agreement between experimental conditions and the corresponding model description.

Blood-brain barrier permeability and tPA-mediated neurotoxicity.

Project description:Tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) can induce neuronal apoptosis, disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and promote dilation of the cerebral vasculature. The timing, sequence and contributions of these and other deleterious effects of tPA and their contribution to post-ischemic brain damage after stroke, have not been fully elucidated. To dissociate the effects of tPA on BBB permeability, cerebral vasodilation and protease-dependent pathways, we developed several tPA mutants and PAI-1 derived peptides constructed by computerized homology modeling of tPA. Our data show that intravenous administration of human tPA to rats increases BBB permeability through a non-catalytic process that is associated with reversible neurotoxicity, brain damage, mortality and contributes significantly to its brief therapeutic window. Furthermore, our data show that inhibiting the effect of tPA on BBB function without affecting its catalytic activity, improves outcome and significantly extends its therapeutic window in mechanical as well as in thromboembolic models of stroke.

Blood-brain barrier permeability analysis of plant ceramides.

Project description:Ceramides, a type of sphingolipid, are cell membrane components and lipid mediators that modulate a variety of cell functions. In plants, ceramides are mostly present in a glucosylated glucosylceramide (GlcCer) form. We previously showed that oral administration of konjac-derived GlcCer to a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease reduced brain amyloid-β and amyloid plaques. Dietary plant GlcCer compounds are absorbed as ceramides, but it is unclear whether they can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, we evaluated the BBB permeability of synthetic plant-type ceramides (4, 8-sphingadienine, d18:2) using mouse and BBB cell culture models, and found that they could permeate the BBB both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, administrated ceramides were partially metabolized to other sphingolipid species, namely sphingomyelin (SM) and GlcCer, while crossing the BBB. Thus, plant ceramides can cross the BBB, suggesting that ceramides and their metabolites might affect brain functions.

Striatal blood-brain barrier permeability in Parkinson's disease.

Project description:In vivo studies have shown that blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is involved in the course of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, these have lacked either anatomic definition or the ability to recognize minute changes in BBB integrity. Here, using histologic markers of serum protein, iron, and erythrocyte extravasation, we have shown significantly increased permeability of the BBB in the postcommissural putamen of PD patients. The dense innervation of the striatum by PD-affected regions allows for exploitation of this permeability for therapeutic goals. These results are also discussed in the context of the retrograde trans-synaptic hypothesis of PD spread.
