A comprehensive SA R investigation of the C2-position of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) monomer antitumor agents is reported, establishing the molecular requirements for optimal in vitro cytotoxicity and DNA-binding affinity. Both carbocyclic and heterocyclic C2-aryl substituents have been studied ranging from single aryl rings to fused ring systems, and also styryl substituents, establishing across a library of 80 analogues that C2-aryl and styryl substituents significantly enhance both DNA-binding affinity and in vitro cytotoxicity, with a correlation between the two. The optimal C2-grouping for both DNA-binding affinity and cytotoxicity was found to be the C2-quinolinyl moiety which, according to molecular modeling, is due to the overall fit of the molecule in the DNA minor groove, and potential specific contacts with functional groups in the floor and walls of the groove. This analogue (14l) was shown to delay tumor growth in a HCT-116 (bowel) human tumor xenograft model.

Summary: This study identified five flavonoids from the traditional Chinese herb Artemisia rupestris L., which showed synergistic antibacterial effects against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Three of the compounds exhibited synergy when combined with norfloxacin against fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, and further investigations were conducted to explore the mechanisms of the synergistic effects.

Molecular recognition of acetylcholinesterase and its subnanomolar reversible inhibitor: a molecular simulations study

Summary: Recently, we have successfully designed and synthesized a subnanomolar, reversible, dual-binding site acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Through six molecular dynamics simulations, we found that the crystal structure and the interactions between ligand functional groups and amino acid residues significantly affect the molecular recognition between AChE and its inhibitor. This study provides important structure-based data for the further optimization of reversible, dual binding AChE inhibitors.

Summary: Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are essential regulators for blood and lymphatic vessels, interacting with neuropilins and tyrosine kinase receptors. The selectivity of neuropilins and VEGF receptors in binding to VEGF proteins affects their physiological roles. Studies have shown that conformational preferences of VEGF-derived peptides beyond the C-terminal arginine contribute to the ligand selectivity of neuropilins. These findings have implications for designing selective antagonists of neuropilin functions.

Summary: Polyurea (PURE) biodendrimers were evaluated as nanopolymers to prepare safe drug nanoformulations from mixtures containing genotoxic impurities, with (S)-ibuprofen (IBF) as the model drug. Computational molecular dynamics simulations showed that PURE nanoformulations are primarily driven by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and hydrophobic interactions.
