As one of the most important antiviral drugs against 2009 influenza A (H1N1), will zanamivir be effective for the possible drug resistant mutants? To answer this question, we combined multiple molecular dynamics simulations and molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) calculations to study the efficiency of zanamivir over the most frequent drug-resistant strains of neuraminidase including R293K, R152K, E119A/D and H275Y mutants. The calculated results indicate that the modeled mutants of the 2009-H1N1 strains except H275Y will be significantly resistant to zanamivir. The resistance to zanamivir is mainly caused by the loss of polar interactions. The identified potential resistance sites in this study will be useful for the development of new effective anti-influenza drugs and to avoid the occurrence of the state without effective drugs to new mutant influenza strains.

Molecular Modeling Study on the Interaction Mechanism between the LRRK2 G2019S Mutant and Type I Inhibitors by Integrating Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Binding Free Energy Calculations, and Pharmacophore Modeling

Shuoyan Tan, Qianqian Zhang, Jun Wang, Peng Gao, Guotong Xie, Huanxiang Liu, Xiaojun Yao

Summary: In this study, molecular dynamics simulation and pharmacophore modeling methods were used to explore the critical residues in LRRK2 for binding of inhibitors and investigate the general structural features of the inhibitors. The results suggest that the hinge region residues play a significant role in the interaction between LRRK2 and inhibitors, and high activity LRRK2 inhibitors should have specific molecular features.

Synthesis of 8-Fluoroneocryptolepine and Evaluation for Cytotoxic Activity against AGS Cancer Cells

Yun-Hao Ma, Wan-Tong Ma, Zhong-Kun Zhou, Xiu Huang, Xin-Rong Jiang, Kang-Jia Du, Meng-Ze Sun, Hao Zhang, Hong Fang, Yi Zhao, Hong-Mei Zhu, Huan-Xiang Liu, Peng Chen, Ying-Qian Liu

Summary: Neocryptolepine derivatives, especially 8-Fluoroneocryptolepine (8FNC), have shown promising cytotoxic activity against gastric cancer cells (AGS) with greater selectivity and cytotoxicity compared to commonly used drugs. Structural modifications improved the cytotoxic effect and reduced toxicity to normal gastric cells (GES-1), making 8FNC a potential lead compound for the development of gastric cancer treatment. Mechanistic studies suggest that 8FNC inhibits AGS cell migration and induces apoptosis through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Thermodynamic integration combined with molecular dynamic simulations to explore the cross-resistance mechanism of isoniazid and ethionamide

Qianqian Zhang, Yuwei Yang, Xiaoqing Gong, Nannan Zhao, Yang Zhang, Huanxiang Liu

Summary: This study aims to investigate the cross-resistance mechanism of isoniazid and ethionamide through theoretical calculations. The research reveals that the S94A mutation in InhA leads to decreased binding affinity of isoniazid and ethionamide with the mutant, and the mutation also indirectly affects the energy contribution of other key residues, resulting in changes in the binding conformation.

Bioinformatics toolbox for exploring target mutation-induced drug resistance

Yuan-Qin Huang, Ping Sun, Yi Chen, Huan-Xiang Liu, Ge-Fei Hao, Bao-An Song

Summary: Drug resistance is a major issue impacting human health and agriculture. Developing approaches to address target mutation-induced drug resistance is crucial in biological research. Bioinformatics tools have been developed over the past decade to explore this type of drug resistance, offering a cost-effective and efficient means of analysis. However, these tools are underutilized and their strengths and limitations have not been thoroughly evaluated. This study systematically surveyed 59 freely available bioinformatics tools and analyzed their functionality, data volume, source, operating principle, and performance. The study also discussed the strengths, limitations, and application examples of these tools, providing a valuable toolbox for researchers in biomedical, pesticide, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical engineering fields, as well as a platform for non-specialists to understand drug resistance prediction.

Unveiling the Selectivity Mechanism of Type-I LRRK2 Inhibitors by Computational Methods: Insights from Binding Thermodynamics and Kinetics Simulation

Shuoyan Tan, Jun Wang, Peng Gao, Guotong Xie, Qianqian Zhang, Huanxiang Liu, Xiaojun Yao

Summary: Understanding the selectivity mechanisms of inhibitors for highly similar proteins is crucial in new drug discovery. Developing highly selective targeting of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) kinases for Parkinson's disease is challenging due to the similarity of the kinase ATP binding pocket. In this study, computational methods and comprehensive analyses were conducted to investigate the selectivity mechanisms of two representative LRRK2 inhibitors (DNL201 and GNE7915). The results suggest that structural and kinetic differences between the proteins may play a key role in determining the activity of selective small-molecule inhibitors. The proposed selectivity mechanisms could aid in the rational design of novel LRRK2 kinase inhibitors for Parkinson's disease.
