Biocomputational Prediction Approach Targeting FimH by Natural SGLT2 Inhibitors: A Possible Way to Overcome the Uropathogenic Effect of SGLT2 Inhibitor Drugs.

ABSTRACT: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new class of anti-diabetic medication (a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor) in 2013. However, SGLT2 inhibitor drugs are under evaluation due to their associative side effects, such as urinary tract and genital infection, urinary discomfort, diabetic ketosis, and kidney problems. Even clinicians have difficulty in recommending it to diabetic patients due to the increased probability of urinary tract infection. In our study, we selected natural SGLT2 inhibitors, namely acerogenin B, formononetin, (-)-kurarinone, (+)-pteryxin, and quinidine, to explore their potential against an emerging uropathogenic bacterial therapeutic target, i.e., FimH. FimH plays a critical role in the colonization of uropathogenic bacteria on the urinary tract surface. Thus, FimH antagonists show promising effects against uropathogenic bacterial strains via their targeting of FimH's adherence mechanism with less chance of resistance. The molecular docking results showed that, among natural SGLT2 inhibitors, formononetin, (+)-pteryxin, and quinidine have a strong interaction with FimH proteins, with binding energy (?G) and inhibition constant (ki) values of -5.65 kcal/mol and 71.95 µM, -5.50 kcal/mol and 92.97 µM, and -5.70 kcal/mol and 66.40 µM, respectively. These interactions were better than those of the positive control heptyl ?-d-mannopyranoside and far better than those of the SGLT2 inhibitor drug canagliflozin. Furthermore, a 50 ns molecular dynamics simulation was conducted to optimize the interaction, and the resulting complexes were found to be stable. Physicochemical property assessments predicted little toxicity and good drug-likeness properties for these three compounds. Therefore, formononetin, (+)-pteryxin, and quinidine can be proposed as promising SGLT2 inhibitors drugs, with add-on FimH inhibition potential that might reduce the probability of uropathogenic side effects.

Project description:One of the most prevalent cardiovascular problems linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is associated with myocardial oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, suppressed autophagy, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. The current study aims to investigate the protective effect of sodium-glucose transport 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin and/or exercise on DCM. Thirty adult male Sprague Dawley rats are used. T2DM is induced by a 6-week high-fat diet (HFD) followed by a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 35 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ). Rats are divided into five groups, control, diabetic (DM), DM + swimming, DM + dapagliflozin, and DM + dapagliflozin and swimming. Serum glucose, insulin, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and cardiac enzymes (CK-MB and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are measured. Heart specimens are used for evaluation of cellular oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant enzymes, glutathione (GSH), and catalase (CAT), as well as mRNA expression of TGF-β, MMP9, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Stained sections with haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) and Masson trichrome are used for histopathological evaluation and detection of fibrosis, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining for apoptosis (caspase-3), and autophagy (LC3) are also carried out. The combinations of SGLT2i and exercise exhibited the most significant cardioprotective effect. It improved diabetic-induced histopathological alterations in the myocardium and attenuated the elevation of serum blood glucose, CK-MB, LDH, myocardial MDA, and mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β, MMP9, and the immune expression of caspase-3. Moreover, this combination increased the serum insulin, myocardial antioxidants GSH and CAT, and increase the immune expression of the LC-3. In conclusion, a combination of SGLT2i and exercise exerted a better antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic effect in DCM. Moreover, the combination enhances the autophagic capacity of the heart.
