SwissParam 2023: A Modern Web-Based Tool for Efficient Small Molecule Parametrization.

Project description:Most steps of drug discovery are now routinely supported and accelerated by computer-aided drug design tools. Among them, structure-based approaches use the three-dimensional structure of the targeted biomacromolecule as a major source of information. When it comes to calculating the interactions of small molecules with proteins using the equations of molecular mechanics, topologies, atom typing, and force field parameters are required. However, generating parameters for small molecules remains challenging due to the large number of existing chemical groups. The SwissParam web tool was first released in 2011 with the aim of generating parameters and topologies for small molecules based on the Merck molecular force field (MMFF) while being compatible with the CHARMM22/27 force field. Here, we present an updated version of SwissParam, providing various new features, including the possibility to setup covalent ligands. Molecules can now be imported from different file formats or via a molecular sketcher. The MMFF-based approach has been updated to provide parameters and topologies compatible with the CHARMM36 force field. An option was added to generate small molecule parametrizations following the CHARMM General Force Field via the multipurpose atom-typer for CHARMM (MATCH) approach. Additionally, SwissParam now generates information on probable alternative tautomers and protonation states of the query molecule so that the user can consider all microspecies relevant to its compound. The new version of SwissParam is freely available at www.swissparam.ch and can also be accessed through a newly implemented command-line interface.

Small-molecule-based Human Genome G4 Profiling Reveals Potential Gene Regulation Activity

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a type of secondary structure of nucleic acids, the formation of which depends on the π-π stacking of guanine-rich sequences. Herein, we present a readily accessible strategy, based on small molecule pulldown, for direct genomic G4 profiling of HEK 293T cells. A small molecule was rationally designed, containing PDP on one end and biotin on the other, joined by a 24-unit-long hydrophilic PEG linker. G4s isolation from genomic DNA annealed in potassium chloride buffer beforehand, has identified a total of 51446 PQS, which mainly distribute in introns and intergenic regions. Incubating cells with PDP for 3 h to 72 h resulted in the differential expression of a variety of genes, indicating a potential function of G4s in gene regulation.

SMTRI: A deep learning-based web service for predicting small molecules that target miRNA-mRNA interactions.

Project description:Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded RNAs that bind to target mRNAs and induce translational repression and gene silencing. Many miRNAs discovered in animals have been implicated in diseases and have recently been pursued as therapeutic targets. However, conventional pharmacological screening for candidate small-molecule drugs can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, developing a computational program to assist mature miRNA-targeted drug discovery in silico is desirable. Our previous work (https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201903451) revealed that the unique functional loops formed during Argonaute-mediated miRNA-mRNA interactions have stable structural characteristics and may serve as potential targets for small-molecule drug discovery. Developing drugs specifically targeting disease-related mature miRNAs and their target mRNAs would avoid affecting unrelated ones. Here, we present SMTRI, a convolutional neural network-based approach for efficiently predicting small molecules that target RNA secondary structural motifs formed by interactions between miRNAs and their target mRNAs. Measured on three additional testing sets, SMTRI outperformed state-of-the-art algorithms by 12.9%-30.3% in AUC and 2.0%-18.4% in accuracy. Moreover, four case studies on the published experimentally validated RNA-targeted small molecules also revealed the reliability of SMTRI.

NaviCell Web Service for network-based data visualization.

Project description:Data visualization is an essential element of biological research, required for obtaining insights and formulating new hypotheses on mechanisms of health and disease. NaviCell Web Service is a tool for network-based visualization of 'omics' data which implements several data visual representation methods and utilities for combining them together. NaviCell Web Service uses Google Maps and semantic zooming to browse large biological network maps, represented in various formats, together with different types of the molecular data mapped on top of them. For achieving this, the tool provides standard heatmaps, barplots and glyphs as well as the novel map staining technique for grasping large-scale trends in numerical values (such as whole transcriptome) projected onto a pathway map. The web service provides a server mode, which allows automating visualization tasks and retrieving data from maps via RESTful (standard HTTP) calls. Bindings to different programming languages are provided (Python and R). We illustrate the purpose of the tool with several case studies using pathway maps created by different research groups, in which data visualization provides new insights into molecular mechanisms involved in systemic diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

TAIGET: A small-molecule target identification and annotation web server.

Project description:Background: Accurate target identification of small molecules and downstream target annotation are important in pharmaceutical research and drug development. Methods: We present TAIGET, a friendly and easy to operate graphical web interface, which consists of a docking module based on AutoDock Vina and LeDock, a target screen module based on a Bayesian-Gaussian mixture model (BGMM), and a target annotation module derived from >14,000 cancer-related literature works. Results: TAIGET produces binding poses by selecting ≤5 proteins at a time from the UniProt ID-PDB network and submitting ≤3 ligands at a time with the SMILES format. Once the identification process of binding poses is complete, TAIGET then screens potential targets based on the BGMM. In addition, three medical experts and 10 medical students curated associations among drugs, genes, gene regulation, cancer outcome phenotype, 2,170 cancer cell types, and 73 cancer types from the PubMed literature, with the aim to construct a target annotation module. A target-related PPI network can be visualized by an interactive interface. Conclusion: This online tool significantly lowers the entry barrier of virtual identification of targets for users who are not experts in the technical aspects of virtual drug discovery. The web server is available free of charge at http://www.taiget.cn/.

Sidechain structure-activity relationships of cyclobutane-based small molecule αvβ3 antagonists.

Project description:The integrin family of cell surface extracellular matrix binding proteins are key to several physiological processes involved in tissue development, as well as cancer proliferation and dissemination. They are therefore attractive targets for drug discovery with cancer and non-cancer applications. We have developed a new integrin antagonist chemotype incorporating a functionalised cyclobutane ring as the central scaffold in an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid mimetic structure. Here, we report the synthesis of cyclobutanecarboxylic acids and cyclobutylamines with tetrahydronaphthyridine and aminopyridine arginine mimetic sidechains and masked carboxylic acid aspartic acid mimetic sidechains of varying length. Effective αvβ3 antagonists and new aspartic acid mimetics were identified in cell-based adhesion and invasion assays. A lead compound selected based on in vitro activity (IC50 < 1 μM), stability (t 1/2 > 80 minutes) and synthetic tractability was well-tolerated in vivo. These results show the promise of this synthetic approach for developing αvβ3 antagonists and provide a firm foundation to progress into advanced preclinical evaluation prior to progression towards the clinic. Additionally, they highlight the use of functionalised cyclobutanes as metabolically stable core structures and a straightforward and robust method for their synthesis. This important contribution to the medicinal chemists' toolbox paves the way for increased use of cyclobutanes in drug discovery.

Discovery of small-molecule enzyme activators by activity-based protein profiling.

Project description:Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has been used extensively to discover and optimize selective inhibitors of enzymes. Here, we show that ABPP can also be implemented to identify the converse-small-molecule enzyme activators. Using a kinetically controlled, fluorescence polarization-ABPP assay, we identify compounds that stimulate the activity of LYPLAL1-a poorly characterized serine hydrolase with complex genetic links to human metabolic traits. We apply ABPP-guided medicinal chemistry to advance a lead into a selective LYPLAL1 activator suitable for use in vivo. Structural simulations coupled to mutational, biochemical and biophysical analyses indicate that this compound increases LYPLAL1's catalytic activity likely by enhancing the efficiency of the catalytic triad charge-relay system. Treatment with this LYPLAL1 activator confers beneficial effects in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. These findings reveal a new mode of pharmacological regulation for this large enzyme family and suggest that ABPP may aid discovery of activators for additional enzyme classes.

Potential off-target effects of beta-blockers on gut hormone receptors: In silico study including GUT-DOCK-A web service for small-molecule docking.

Project description:The prolonged use of many currently available drugs results in the severe side effect of the disruption of glucose metabolism leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM. Gut hormone receptors including glucagon receptor (GCGR) and the incretin hormone receptors: glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR) are important drug targets for the treatment of T2DM, as they play roles in the regulation of glucose and insulin levels and of food intake. In this study, we hypothesized that we could compensate for the negative influences of specific drugs on glucose metabolism by the positive incretin effect enhanced by the off-target interactions with incretin GPCR receptors. As a test case, we chose to examine beta-blockers because beta-adrenergic receptors and incretin receptors are expressed in a similar location, making off-target interactions possible. The binding affinity of drugs for incretin receptors was approximated by using two docking scoring functions of Autodock VINA (GUT-DOCK) and Glide (Schrodinger) and juxtaposing these values with the medical information on drug-induced T2DM. We observed that beta-blockers with the highest theoretical binding affinities for gut hormone receptors were reported as the least harmful to glucose homeostasis in clinical trials. Notably, a recently discovered beta-blocker compound 15 ([4-((2S)-3-(((S)-3-(3-bromophenyl)-1-(methylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)amino)-2-(2-cyclohexyl-2-phenylacetamido)-3-oxopropyl)benzamide was among the top-scoring drugs, potentially supporting its use in the treatment of hypertension in diabetic patients. Our recently developed web service GUT-DOCK (gut-dock.miningmembrane.com) allows for the execution of similar studies for any drug-like molecule. Specifically, users can compute the binding affinities for various class B GPCRs, gut hormone receptors, VIPR1 and PAC1R.
