The Red Sea sponge Hemimycale arabica afforded the known (Z)-5-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-hydantoin (1). This natural phenylmethylene hydantoin (PMH) 1 and the synthetic (Z)-5-(4-(ethylthio)benzylidene)- hydantoin (2) showed potent in vitro and in vivo anti-growth and anti-invasive properties against PC-3M prostate cancer cells in MTT, spheroid disaggregation, and in mice models. To explore a possible molecular target of PMHs, the most potent synthetic analogue 2 has been virtually screened against various protein kinases. Molecular modeling study has shown that 2 can be successfully docked within the binding pocket of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3 beta) similar to the well-known GSK-3 beta inhibitor 1-5. Several PMHs showed potent in vitro GSK-3b inhibitory activity with an IC50 range of 4-20 mu M. The most potent analogue 3 showed a significant increase in liver glycogen level at the 5, 15, and 25 mg/kg dose levels, in vivo. Pharmacophore model was built and validated using in-house database of active and inactive GSK-3b inhibitors. The GSK-3b inhibitory activity of PMHs entitles them to be potential leads for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorders, stroke, different tau pathologies, and type-2 diabetes.

Discovery of Potent Natural-Product-Derived SIRT2 Inhibitors Using Structure-Based Exploration of SIRT2 Pharmacophoric Space Coupled With QSAR Analyses

Mohammad A. Khanfar, Saja Alqtaishat

Summary: This study focused on discovering structurally novel natural-product-derived SIRT2 inhibitors through integrated structure-based pharmacophore modeling and validated QSAR analysis. Experimental testing identified asperphenamate and salvianolic acid B as active SIRT2 inhibitors. New chemical scaffolds of SIRT2 inhibitors have been identified that could guide lead-structure optimization.

(-)-Oleocanthal Nutraceuticals for Alzheimer's Disease Amyloid Pathology: Novel Oral Formulations, Therapeutic, and Molecular Insights in 5xFAD Transgenic Mice Model

Afsana Tajmim, Areli K. Cuevas-Ocampo, Abu Bakar Siddique, Mohammed H. Qusa, Judy Ann King, Khaldoun S. Abdelwahed, Jafrin Jobayer Sonju, Khalid A. El Sayed

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder primarily caused by the accumulation of A beta-amyloid fibrils and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, with current treatment options providing only symptomatic relief. A component found in extra-virgin olive oil, S-(-)-oleocanthal (OC), has shown therapeutic effects against cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and AD. However, due to its taste, OC needs to be formulated before oral consumption. Studies have demonstrated the potential of OC formulations in mitigating amyloid pathogenesis associated with AD in animal models.

Oxadiazol-based mTOR inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activities: synthetic and computational modeling

Mohammad A. Khanfar

Summary: A series of N-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amines and 3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamides derivatives were synthesized as novel chemotherapeutic agents, which showed potent anticancer activities against breast cancer cell lines, especially the metastatic breast cancer cell line. Active analogues were found to fit the pharmacophoric map of ATP-competitive inhibitors of mTOR, suggesting their potential as mTOR inhibitors for cancer treatment.

Oleocanthal Attenuates Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Progression and Recurrence by Targeting SMYD2

Abu Bakar Siddique, Hassan Y. Ebrahim, Afsana Tajmim, Judy Ann King, Khaldoun S. Abdelwahed, Zakaria Y. Abd Elmageed, Khalid A. El Sayed

Summary: A compound called S-(-)-oleocanthal (OC), found in extra-virgin olive oil, can inhibit the growth and relapse of aggressive prostate cancer. OC works by suppressing an important enzyme called SMYD2, which is responsible for activating several proteins involved in prostate cancer. It has shown stronger anticancer activity in animal models compared to other SMYD2 inhibitors and is a potential natural compound for use in prostate cancer patients as a dietary supplement.

Towards Developing Novel Prostate Cancer Recurrence Suppressors: Acute Toxicity of Pseurotin A, an Orally Active PCSK9 Axis-Targeting Small-Molecule in Swiss Albino Mice

Oliver C. McGehee, Hassan Y. Ebrahim, Ashkan H. Rad, Khaldoun S. Abdelwahed, Ethar A. Mudhish, Judy A. King, Iman E. Helal, Sharon A. Meyer, Khalid A. El Sayed

Summary: Pseurotin A (PsA), a natural compound extracted from Aspergillus and Penicillium species, has shown to suppress the expression and protein-protein interaction (PPI) of PCSK9, leading to an anti-hypercholesterolemic effect. In vitro toxicity studies on non-tumor prostate and colon cells revealed high cellular death at higher concentrations of PsA, while acute organ toxicity was not observed in mice following oral dosing.

Pseurotin A Validation as a Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Recurrence-Suppressing Lead via PCSK9-LDLR Axis Modulation

Summary: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) cells can synthesize their own cholesterol and overexpress proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Knockdown of PCSK9 leads to reduced migration and colony formation in mCRPC cells. Higher expression of PCSK9 is associated with older age and early Gleason scores. The fermentation product pseurotin A (PS) suppresses PCSK9 expression and protein-protein interactions, as well as cancer recurrence. PS treatment inhibits migration and colony formation in mCRPC cells. In a mouse model, a high-fat diet increases tumor volume, metastasis, cholesterol, LDL-C, PSA, and PCSK9 levels, which can be prevented by daily oral PS treatment. PS-treated mice show reduced cholesterol, LDL-C, PCSK9, and PSA levels. These findings suggest that PS is a potential lead for suppressing mCRPC recurrence by targeting the PCSK9-LDLR axis.

Discovery of natural-derived Mpro inhibitors as therapeutic candidates for COVID-19: Structure-based pharmacophore screening combined with QSAR analysis

Mohammad A. Khanfar, Nada Salaas, Reem Abumostafa

Summary: Structure-based pharmacophore modeling and QSAR calculations were used to identify new M-pro inhibitors from natural products. Several pharmacophore models were generated from X-ray crystallographic structures and validated. A 3D-search tool based on the validated pharmacophore model was employed to mine a natural products database. Three active M-pro inhibitors were identified and their inhibitory activities were confirmed with IC50 values in the low micromolar range.

Summary: This study demonstrates the spontaneous reaction of (-)-oleocanthal with amino acids, with a high preferential reactivity to glycine, resulting in the formation of two products: oleoglycine, an unusual glycine derivative with a tetrahydropyridinium skeleton, and tyrosol acetate. Extensive research was conducted to validate the reactivity of oleocanthal, followed by pharmacokinetic studies in mice and cell culture transport studies to assess the ability of the formed derivatives to cross physiological barriers like the blood-brain barrier. This novel finding provides a new perspective on the bioactivities of oleocanthal in humans.
