Structural insights of a PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor with the morpholino-triazine scaffold

Stimulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which controls cell proliferation and growth, is often observed in cancer cell. Inhibiting both PI3K and mTOR in this pathway can switch off Akt activation and hence, plays a powerful role for modulating this pathway. PKI-587, a drug containing the structure of morpholino-triazines, shows a dual and nano-molar inhibition activity and is currently in clinical trial. To provide an insight into the mechanism of this dual inhibition, pharmacophore and QSAR models were developed in this work using compounds based on the morpholino-triazines scaffold, followed by a docking study. Pharmacophore model suggested the mechanism of the inhibition of PI3Kα and mTOR by the compounds were mostly the same, which was supported by the docking study showing similar docking modes. The analysis also suggested the importance of the flat plane shape of the ligands, the space surrounding the ligands in the binding pocket, and the slight difference in the shape of the binding sites between PI3Kα and mTOR.     

Improved prediction of drug-target interactions using regularized least squares integrating with kernel fusion technique

Identification of drug-target interactions (DTI) is a central task in drug discovery processes. In this work, a simple but effective regularized least squares integrating with nonlinear kernel fusion (RLS-KF) algorithm is proposed to perform DTI predictions. Using benchmark DTI datasets, our proposed algorithm achieves the state-of-the-art results with area under precision–recall curve (AUPR) of 0.915, 0.925, 0.853 and 0.909 for enzymes, ion channels (IC), G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) and nuclear receptors (NR) based on 10 fold cross-validation. The performance can further be improved by using a recalculated kernel matrix, especially for the small set of nuclear receptors with AUPR of 0.945. Importantly, most of the top ranked interaction predictions can be validated by experimental data reported in the literature, bioassay results in the PubChem BioAssay database, as well as other previous studies. Our analysis suggests that the proposed RLS-KF is helpful for studying DTI, drug repositioning as well as polypharmacology, and may help to accelerate drug discovery by identifying novel drug targets.     

Mutual enhancing effects of the σ-hole interactions and halogen/hydrogen-bonded interactions in the iodine-ylide containing complexes

The region of positive electrostatic potentials (σ-hole) has been found along the extension of the C–I bond in the iodine-ylide CH₂IH, which suggests that the iodine-ylide could interact with nucleophiles to form weak, directional noncovalent interactions. MP2 calculations confirmed that the I···N σ-hole interaction exists in the CH₂IH···NCX (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I) bimolecular complexes. The NCCl···CH₂IH···NCX (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I) termolecular complexes were constructed to investigate the weakly bonded σ-hole interactions to be strengthened by Cl···C halogen bond. And then, the NCY···CH₂IH···NCCl (Y = H, F, Cl, Br, I) termolecular complexes were designed to investigate the enhancing effects of the I···N σ-hole interaction on the Y···C halogen/hydrogen-bonded interactions. Accompany with the mutual enhancing processes of the σ-hole interactions and halogen/hydrogen-bonded interactions in the iodine-ylide containing termolecular complexes, both the I···N σ-hole interactions and Y···C halogen/hydrogen-bonded interactions become more polarizable.     

Globalexponential stability of an epidemic model with saturated and periodic incidence rate

This paper is concerned with a SIR model with saturated and periodic incidence rate and saturated treatment function. By using differential inequality technique, we employ a novel argument to show that the disease‐free equilibrium is globally exponentially stable. The obtained results improve and supplement existing ones. We also use numerical simulations to demonstrate our theoretical results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Folic acid-conjugated GdPO<Subscript>4</Subscript>:Tb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>@SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Nanoprobe for folate receptor-targeted optical and magnetic resonance bi-modal imaging

Both fluorescent and magnetic nanoprobes have great potential applications for diagnostics and therapy. In the present work, a folic acid-conjugated and silica-modified GdPO₄:Tb³⁺ (GdPO₄:Tb³⁺@SiO₂-FA) dual nanoprobe was strategically designed and synthesized for the targeted dual-modality optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging via a facile aqueous method. Their structural, optical, and magnetic properties were determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectra (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). These results indicated that GdPO₄:Tb³⁺@SiO₂-FA were uniform monodisperse core-shell structured nanorods (NRs) with an average length of ~200 nm and an average width of ~25 nm. The paramagnetic property of the synthesized GdPO₄:Tb³⁺@SiO₂-FA NRs was confirmed with its linear hysteresis plot (M-H). In addition, the NRs displayed an obvious T₁-weighted effect and thus it could potentially serve as a T₁-positive contrast agent. The NRs emitted green lights due to the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ transition of the Tb³⁺. The in vitro assays with NCI-H460 lung cancer cells and human embryonic kidney cell line 293T cells indicated that the GdPO₄:Tb³⁺@SiO₂-FA nanoprobe could specifically bind the cells bearing folate receptors (FR). The MTT assay of the NRs revealed that its cytotoxicity was very low. Further in vivo MRI experiments distinctively depict enhanced anatomical features in a xenograft tumor. These results suggest that the GdPO₄:Tb³⁺@SiO₂-FA NPs have excellent imaging and cell-targeting abilities for the folate receptor-targeted dual-modality optical and MR imaging and can be potentially used as the nanoprobe for bioimaging.     

Effect of peripheral hydrophobic alkoxy substitution on the organic field effect transistor performance of amphiphilic tris(phthalocyaninato) europium triple-decker complexes

A series of four amphiphilic heteroleptic tris(phthalocyaninato) europium complexes with different lengths of hydrophobic alkoxy substituents on one outer phthalocyanine ligand [Pc(15C5)4]Eu[Pc(15C5)4]Eu[Pc(OCnH(2n+1))8] (n = 4, 6, 10,12) (1, 2, 4, and 5) was designed and prepared. Their film forming and organic field effect transistor properties have been systematically studied in comparison with analogous [Pc(15C5)4]Eu[Pc(15C5)4]Eu[Pc(OC8H17)8] (3). Experimental results showed that all these typical amphiphilic sandwich triple-decker molecules have been fabricated into highly ordered films by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, which displays carrier mobility in the direction parallel to the aromatic phthalocyanine rings in the range of 0.0032-0.60 cm2 V(-1) s(-1) depending on the length of the hydrophobic alkoxy substituents. This is rationalized on the basis of comparative morphology analysis results of the LB films by the atomic force microscopy technique.
