Abstract

Matched molecular pairs (MMPs) are defined as pairs of compounds that only differ by a chemical change at a single site. MMPs have become popular in medicinal chemistry to support lead optimization, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis, and other applications. Thus far, MMPs have been algorithmically defined and not on the basis of reaction information. This often limits the chemical interpretability and practical utility of MMPs. Therefore, we introduce synthetically accessible MMPs that are automatically generated by applying reaction rules following the retrosynthetic combinatorial analysis procedure (RECAP). A library of more than 92 000 RECAP-MMPs was generated from public domain compounds active against 435 different targets exclusively utilizing high-confidence activity data. This library is made freely available for use in medicinal chemistry.

A living biobank of matched pairs of patient-derived xenografts and organoids for cancer pharmacology

Xiaoxi Xu, Rajendra Kumari, Jun Zhou, Jing Chen, Binchen Mao, Jingjing Wang, Meiling Zheng, Xiaolong Tu, Xiaoyu An, Xiaobo Chen, Likun Zhang, Xiaoli Tian, Haojie Wang, Xin Dong, Zhengzheng Bao, Sheng Guo, Xuesong Ouyang, Limei Shang, Fei Wang, Xuefei Yan, Rui Zhang, Robert G. J. Vries, Hans Clevers, Qi-Xiang Li

Summary: Patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX)/organoid (PDO) models, driven by cancer stem cells (CSC), are considered the most predictive models for translational oncology and have been extensively used for testing investigational therapies. We have created a biobank of carcinoma PDX-derived organoids (PDXOs) and confirmed their similarity to parental PDXs in genomics, histopathology, and pharmacology. We demonstrate the applications of this PDXO biobank in high-throughput screening, immune therapies, and in vitro/in vivo imaging.

Inference in Experiments With Matched Pairs

Yuehao Bai, Joseph P. Romano, Azeem M. Shaikh

Summary: This study focuses on inference for the average treatment effect in randomized controlled trials with a matched pairs design. It demonstrates that commonly used tests for comparing treatment effects are conservative and proposes adjustments to improve accuracy in hypothesis testing. Moreover, the study explores randomization tests and shows that appropriate implementation can lead to exact results in certain distributions.

DFRscore: Deep Learning-Based Scoring of Synthetic Complexity with Drug-Focused Retrosynthetic Analysis for High-Throughput Virtual Screening

Hyeongwoo Kim, Kyunghoon Lee, Chansu Kim, Jaechang Lim, Woo Youn Kim

Summary: Recently, generative AI models have been used to generate a large number of compounds for potential applications. However, the synthetic feasibility of these compounds is often in question. To address this, researchers have used deep learning models to estimate the synthetic accessibility of molecules. In this study, the DFRscore model is introduced, which is trained exclusively on drug-focused reactions to provide a practical assessment of synthetic accessibility in drug discovery.

Creating Matched In vivo/In vitro Patient-Derived Model Pairs of PDX and PDX-Derived Organoids for Cancer Pharmacology Research

Xiaoxi Xu, Limei Shang, Philip Wang, Jun Zhou, Xuesong Ouyang, Meiling Zheng, Binchen Mao, Likun Zhang, Bonnie Chen, Jingjing Wang, Jing Chen, Wubin Qian, Sheng Guo, Yujun Huang, Qi-Xiang Li

Summary: PDXs are considered predictive preclinical models driven by CSC, but have practical limitations. Tumor organoids can serve as in vitro equivalents of PDX, overcoming certain limitations and providing more comprehensive research models. Hence, PDX-derived organoids offer a complete model for pharmacology research in vitro and in vivo.

Wishart, M. H. Wood, N. Zachariou, Z. W. Zhao, V Ziegler, M. Zurek

Summary: We present the first measurement of dihadron angular correlations in electron-nucleus scattering. The results show a strong suppression effect for azimuthally opposite pairs, no suppression effect for nearby pairs, and an enhancement effect for pairs with large invariant mass. These findings indicate that angular correlation studies are important for understanding the formation and interaction of hadrons inside nuclei.

Computational and Retrosynthetic Investigation of Isoxazole-Bearing Chalcones as Antioxidant Activate Compounds

Youness Moukhliss, Yassine Koubi, Marwa Alaqarbeh, Hafiz Muzzammel Rehman, Hamid Maghat, Abdelouahid Sbai, Mohammed Bouachrine, Tahar Lakhlifi

Summary: This study applied the 3D-QSAR method to analyze a set of isoxazole-based compounds and proposed five new drug candidates (Pr1-Pr5). The interactions between the drug candidates and the antioxidant receptor 1HD2 were studied using molecular docking. ADME analysis showed that these drug candidates are orally bioavailable with high gastrointestinal absorption and good permeability. Molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the stability of the complexes formed between the drug candidates and 1HD2. A synthesis pathway for the drug candidates was proposed using the retrosynthesis approach. This study provides valuable information on the antioxidant activity of isoxazole-based compounds.

Efficient algorithms for building representative matched pairs with enhanced generalizability

Bo Zhang

Summary: Many recent efforts have focused on evaluating the ability of real-world evidence (RWE) generated from non-randomized, observational data to produce results similar to those from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). One notable initiative is the RCT DUPLICATE, which aims to reconcile findings from observational studies and RCTs. A network-flow-based statistical matching algorithm is proposed to create well-matched pairs from observational data, eliminating differences between study populations.

Collective Ion Adsorption on Silica Surfaces Driven by Ion Pairs

Kunyu Wang, Bertrand Siboulet, Jean-Francois Dufreche

Summary: Simulating the molecular-level structures of electrical double layers is crucial for understanding the mechanism of ion adsorption on solid surfaces. Recent molecular dynamics studies reveal that the interaction between ion sites is similar to cation-anion pairs in the solvent. The present study demonstrates the collective effects in the adsorption of alkaline-earth chloride solution on an amorphous silica surface and provides insights into the ion-ion and ion-site specificities.

Ultrafast Roaming Mechanisms in Ethanol Probed by Intense Extreme Ultraviolet Free-Electron Laser Radiation: Electron Transfer versus Proton Transfer

Enliang Wang, Nora G. Kling, Aaron C. LaForge, Razib Obaid, Shashank Pathak, Surjendu Bhattacharyya, Severin Meister, Florian Trost, Hannes Lindenblatt, Patrizia Schoch, Matthias Kubel, Thomas Pfeifer, Artem Rudenko, Sergio Diaz-Tendero, Fernando Martin, Robert Moshammer, Daniel Rolles, Nora Berrah

Summary: Pump-probe spectroscopy with an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) free-electron laser is used to study ultrafast H2+ and H3+ formation from ethanol. The formation of H2+ and H3+ is triggered by the creation of a dication from the first pulse and disruptively probed by a second pulse. The ratio of H2+ to H3+ increases with time delay at lower photon energies but remains constant at higher photon energy, indicating a competition between electron and proton transfer.

Poddubskaya, Nurshat Gaifullin

Summary: We compared the molecular profiles of tumor-adjacent and autopsy-derived healthy normal tissues and found systemic molecular differences in immune cell activation, cellular respiration, telomerase activation, cellular apoptosis, and chemical perception. Furthermore, we observed differences in the expression of cancer drug targets between tumor-adjacent and normal tissues. However, caution should be taken when using postmortal tissues as RNA degradation may lead to artifact differential expression profiles.
