化学基元组学与药物创新

化学基元组学（chemomics）是与化学信息学、生物信息学、合成化学等学科相关的交叉学科．生物系统从内源性小分子（天然砌块）出发,通过酶催化的化学反应序列制造天然产物．生物系统通过化学反应和天然砌块向目标天然产物“砌入”一组原子,这样的一组原子称为化学基元（chemoyl）．化学基元组（chemome）是生物组织中所含有的化学基元的全体．化学基元组学研究各种化学基元的结构、组装与演化的基本规律．在生存压力和繁衍需求的驱动下,生物系统已经进化出有效手段来合成天然产物以应付环境的变化,并产生了丰富多彩的生物和化学多样性．近年来,人们意识到药物创新的瓶颈之一是药物筛选资源的日益枯竭．化学基元组学可以解决这个瓶颈问题,它通过揭示生物系统制备化学多样性的规律,发展仿生合成方法制备类天然化合物库（quasi natural product libraries）以供药物筛选．本文综述了化学基元组学的主要研究内容及其在药物创新各领域中的潜在应用．     

Chemomics and drug innovation

Chemomics is an interdisciplinary study using approaches from chemoinformatics,bioinformatics,synthetic chemistry,and other related disciplines.Biological systems make natural products from endogenous small molecules (natural product building blocks) through a sequence of enzyme catalytic reactions.For each reaction,the natural product building blocks may contribute a group of atoms to the target natural product.We describe this group of atoms as a chemoyl.A chemome is the complete set of chemoyls in an organism.Chemomics studies chemomes and the principles of natural product syntheses and evolutions.Driven by survival and reproductive demands,biological systems have developed effective protocols to synthesize natural products in order to respond to environmental changes;this results in biological and chemical diversity.In recent years,it has been realized that one of the bottlenecks in drug discovery is the lack of chemical resources for drug screening.Chemomics may solve this problem by revealing the rules governing the creation of chemical diversity in biological systems,and by developing biomimetic synthesis approaches to make quasi natural product libraries for drug screening.This treatise introduces chemomics and outlines its contents and potential applications in the fields of drug innovation.     

Predicting hiCE inhibitors based upon pharmacophore models derived from the receptor and its ligands

Human intestinal carboxyl esterase (hiCE) is a drug target for ameliorating irinotecan-induced diarrhea. By reducing irinotecan-induced diarrhea, hiCE inhibitors can improve the anti-cancer efficacy of irinotecan. To find effective hiCE inhibitors, a new virtual screening protocol that combines pharmacophore models derived from the hiCE structure and its ligands has been proposed. The hiCE structure has been constructed through homology techniques using hCES1’s crystal structure. The hiCE structure was optimized via molecular dynamics simulations with the most known active hiCE inhibitors docked into the structure. An optimized pharmacophore, derived from the receptor, was then generated. A ligand-based pharmacophore was also generated from a larger set of known hiCE inhibitors. The final hiCE inhibitor predictions were based upon the virtual screening hits from both ligand-based and receptor-based pharmacophore models. The hit rates from the ligand-based and receptor-based pharmacophore models are 88% and 86%, respectively. The final hit rate is 94%. The two models are highly consistent with one another (85%). This proves that both models are reliable.     

Microwave‐assisted Aqueous Multicomponent Reaction: Facile Synthesis of Polyfunctionalized Indoline‐spiro Fused Pyran Derivatives

A green and highly efficient method for the synthesis of polyfunctionalized indoline‐spiro fused pyran derivatives has been established. This reaction was conducted by reacting readily available and inexpensive starting materials, such as isatins, cyclic‐1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds, and malononitrile in aqueous media without any catalysts under microwave irradiation. The present green synthesis shows fascinating properties such as the use of water as the reaction solution, concise one‐pot conditions, short reaction periods (8–14 min), and easy purifications. The synthesis could also set a good example to GAP (Group‐Assistant‐Purification) chemistry in which purification via chromatography can be avoided and the pure products can be easily acquired only by washing the crude products with 95% EtOH.     

DNAzyme based electrochemical sensors for trace uranium

We have developed a uranyl-specific DNAzyme that was immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode to give a highly sensitive and selective biosensor for uranyl ion. The typical DNAzyme system consisted of the RNA (rA) as the substrate (ADNA), and the other strand is the enzyme (TDNA) with a ferrocene (Fc). The presence of uranyl ion induces the cleavage of the DNA substrate strand at the rA position to form two fragments. The Fc unit thereby is released from the surface of the electrode, and this results in a decreased peak current. This electrochemical biosensor has a dynamic range from 2 nM to 14 nM of uranyl ion, with a detection limit at 1 nM. It exhibits high sensitivity and excellent selectivity over other metal ions, and thus represents a promising technique for simple, fast, on-site, and real-time electrochemical sensing of UO₂(II) ion. It also serves as a guide in choosing different methods for designing electrochemical sensors for other metal ions.

将多层纸芯片技术用于肿瘤微环境酸化研究。将种植有乳腺癌细胞的8层硝酸纤维素薄膜叠放并封装于芯片中,用以模拟3D乳腺癌组织。灌流培养多层纸芯片乳腺癌组织数天后拆分多层纸芯片,以检测各层薄膜上细胞生存、增殖和胞内乳酸含量,解析不同深度下肿瘤细胞微环境酸化程度。实验表明,细胞酸化程度受灌流速度影响,高灌流速度可以增加纸层上细胞密度,酸性代谢产物排出增加。缺氧也是导致微环境酸化的重要因素。随着氧气扩散距离的增加,酸化程度加重,并且肿瘤细胞生存率和增殖率相应降低。
