Summary: This study aimed to enhance multidrug resistance (MDR) reversing activity in cancer by deriving new compounds from major epimeric alkaloids isolated from Tabernaemontana elegans. The derivatives showed increased activity, with those containing N-phenethyl moieties exhibiting the strongest P-glycoprotein inhibitory effects. Synergistic interactions with the antineoplastic drug doxorubicin were observed, highlighting the potential of these compounds as MDR reversers. Lipophilicity and bulkiness features were associated with inhibitory activity based on the explored QSAR models.

Summary: The study highlights the potential of Pituranthos chloranthus and Teucrium ramosissimum Desf. essential oils as chemopreventive and chemosensitizing agents against uterine sarcoma cell lines. The combination of these oils with doxorubicin induces synergistic effects that increase cell death in resistant cells and decrease resistance to the chemotherapy drug. This is achieved through modulation of the cell cycle, induction of apoptosis, and a decrease in P-gp expression and activity.

Summary: Pharmacophores are abstract representations of stereoelectronic molecular features used for modeling ligand-receptor interactions and widely applied in fast virtual screening. While much effort has been made to enhance the computational efficiency of the screening process, little attention has been given to automated procedures for optimizing pharmacophores with higher discriminatory power. In this study, an algorithm is proposed that automatically selects features driving pharmacophore model quality using SAR information from validated QPhAR models, leading to a fully automated method for deriving high-quality pharmacophores. Additionally, the QPhAR-generated models are shown to provide insights into (un-)favorable interactions for compounds of interest, guiding researchers.

Summary: Ovarian cancer is a deadly disease with high mortality, frequent relapses, and drug resistance. Sonodynamic therapy, which combines a sonosensitizer and low-intensity ultrasound, is a promising approach for cancer treatment. This research investigates the use of the chemotherapeutic drug Doxorubicin as a sonosensitizer to induce cell death in ovarian cancer cells and prevent recurrence. The results show that this sonodynamic therapy with Doxorubicin is effective and operates through a ROS-dependent mechanism and immune sensitization based on the activation of the ICD pathway.

Summary: This paper explores the efficacy of pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) in reversing multidrug resistance in drug-resistant leukemic cells. The results indicate that PGG selectively induces cytotoxicity and enhances sensitivity to anticancer drugs in these cells. PGG reduces the expression of P-gp and inhibits P-gp-mediated efflux, leading to increased intracellular drug accumulation. Molecular dynamics simulation suggests that PGG binds tightly to both the substrate and ATP binding sites of P-gp.

Summary: Serine/threonine-protein kinase N2 (PKN2) plays important roles in cell cycle progression, migration, adhesion, and transcription activation signaling processes, as well as in cancer cell migration, invasion, and apoptosis. In this study, a QSAR-guided selection of docking-based pharmacophores approach was used to model PKN2 as a potential therapeutic target for cancer. Several pharmacophores were extracted from docked ligand poses and used to screen for new anti-PKN2 leads. Three promising compounds with low micromolar IC50 values were identified and showed cytotoxic properties against cancer cells in pharmacological assays.

Summary: Monoglyceride lipase (MGL) is a critical enzyme in lipolysis and the release of free fatty acids, and its inhibition by dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors provides a novel mechanism for improving insulin sensitivity and suppressing inflammation response. In this study, 6 known DPP-IV inhibitors were evaluated as potential MGL blockers, and all compounds showed successful docking into the catalytic site of MGL. Some of the inhibitors exhibited significant anti-MGL inhibitory effects, with gosogliptin and saxagliptin being the most potent inhibitors. This finding suggests a new therapeutic target for DPP-IV inhibitors beyond their traditional role in incretin hormones pathway.

Summary: STAT3 is a transcription factor that has a significant role in activating gene transcription and is detected in different types of cancer. Inhibition of STAT3 is considered a potential anti-cancer strategy. However, the binding of STAT3 inhibitors to the shallow SH2 domain is complicated by hydration water molecules. To address this, this study proposes a method to extract pharmacophores from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and employs genetic function algorithm coupled with machine learning (GFA-ML) to explore optimal combinations of pharmacophores for inhibitors. By screening a database, a low micromolar inhibitor with likely binding to the SH2 domain of STAT3 was identified.
