Development of a highly sensitive imaged cIEF immunoassay for studying AAV capsid protein charge heterogeneity

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid proteins tune and regulate the AAV infective life cycle, which can impact the safety and efficacy of AAV gene therapy products. Many of these PTMs induce changes in protein charge heterogeneity, including deamidation, oxidation, glycation, and glycosylation. To characterize the charge heterogeneity of a protein, imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) has become the gold standard method. We have previously reported an icIEF method with native fluorescence detection for denatured AAV capsid protein charge heterogeneity analysis. Although well suited for final products, the method does not have sufficient sensitivity for upstream, low-concentration AAV samples, and lacks the specificity for capsid protein detection in complex samples like cell culture supernatants and cell lysates. In contrast, the combination of icIEF, protein capture, and immunodetection affords significantly higher sensitivity and specificity, addressing the challenges of the icIEF method. By leveraging different primary antibodies, the icIEF immunoassay provides additional selectivity and affords a detailed characterization of individual AAV capsid proteins. In this study, we describe an icIEF immunoassay method for AAV analysis that is 90 times more sensitive than native fluorescence icIEF. This icIEF immunoassay provides AAV stability monitoring, where changes in individual capsid protein charge heterogeneity can be observed in response to heat stress. When applied to different AAV serotypes, this method also provides serotype identity with reproducible quantification of VP protein peak areas and apparent isoelectric point (pI). Overall, the described icIEF immunoassay is a sensitive, reproducible, quantitative, specific, and selective tool that can be used across the AAV biomanufacturing process, especially in upstream process development where complex sample types are often encountered.     

Targeting tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) protein against type 2 diabetes for the identification of potential inhibitors by in silico screening

Tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) protein is inhibiting the insulin signaling by directly binding to the Akt/PKB leading to insulin resistance in the pancreas causing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hence, TRIB3 protein is considered as a possible drug target for the new lead identification against type 2 diabetes. In the present study, the homology model of TRIB3 protein was generated to explore its biochemical function and molecular interactions in the new lead identification. The energy minimization of TRIB3 protein was carried out and evaluated by validation protocols for structure reliability. The druggable binding site of TRIB3 protein was identified for the virtual screening and molecular docking studies. The Asinex-fragments library of 22634 small molecules was docked at TRIB3 active site using the Glide module to identify new chemical entities. A total of 9 molecules were identified as final hits from virtual screening and their potency was ranked using Glide score, Glide energies, and residues interactions. The 6 prioritized lead molecules were further optimized using AutoDock, Prime MM/GBSA, and percentage of human oral absorption for the identification of potential leads. The molecules L2, L5, and L6 are identified as lead inhibitors and are showing consistent interactions with key residues Glu194 and Lys196 of TRIB3 protein. The identified potential leads were analyzed by ADME properties for their drug likeness and HergIC50 values are predicted for the prevention of preclinical failures. The present work sheds light on the identification of the best lead molecules against TRIB3 protein and offers a route to design as novel potential drug candidates for T2DM.

In silico virtual screening of potent inhibitor to hamper the interaction between HIV-1 integrase and LEDGF/p75 interaction using E-pharmacophore modeling,molecular docking,and dynamics simulations

The rapid increase of HIV-1 infection throughout the globe has a high demand for a superior drug with lesser side effects. LEDGF/p75, the human Lens Epithelium-Derived Growth Factor is identified as a promising cellular cofactor with integrase in facilitating the viral replication in an early stage by acting as a tethering factor in the pre-integration to the chromatin. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify a potent inhibitor by applying an E-pharmacophore based virtual screening, molecular docking, and dynamics simulation approaches. Finally, ZINC22077550 and ZINC32124441 were best identified potent molecules with the efficient binding affinity, strong hydrogen bonding, and acceptable pharmacological properties to hamper the interaction between integrase and LEDGF/p75. Further, the DFT and MDS studies were also analyzed, and shown a favorable energetic state and dynamic stability then reference compound. In conclusion, we suggest that these findings could be novel therapeutics in the future and may increase the lifespan of individuals suffering from viral infection.     

Computer-aided molecular design of (E)-N-Aryl-2-ethene-sulfonamide analogues as microtubule targeted agents in prostate cancer

Microtubules are tube-shaped, filamentous and cytoskeletal proteins that are essential in all eukaryotic cells. Microtubule is an attractive and promising target for anticancer agents. In this study, three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationships (3D-QSAR) including comparative molecular field analysis, CoMFA, and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis, CoMSIA, were performed on a set of 45 (E)-N-Aryl-2-ethene-sulfonamide analogues as microtubule-targeted anti-prostate cancer agents. Automated grid potential analysis, AutoGPA module in Molecular Operating Environment 2009.10 (MOE) as a new 3D-QSAR approach with the pharmacophore-based alignment was carried out on the same dataset. AutoGPA-based 3D-QSAR model yielded better prediction parameters than CoMFA and CoMSIA. Based on the contour maps generated from the models, some key features were identified in (E)-N-Aryl-2-arylethene-sulfonamide analogues that were responsible for the anti-cancer activity. Virtual screening was performed based on pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking to identify the new inhibitors from ZINC database. Seven top ranked compounds were found based on Gold score fitness function. In silico ADMET studies were performed on compounds retrieved from virtual screening in compliance with the standard ranges.     

Identification of novel PI3Kδ inhibitors by docking,ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics simulations

BackgroundPhosphoinositide-3-kinase Delta (PI3Kδ) plays a key role in B-cell signal transduction and inhibition of PI3Kδ is confirmed to have clinical benefit in certain types of activation of B-cell malignancies. Virtual screening techniques have been used to discover new molecules for developing novel PI3Kδ inhibitors with little side effects.MethodComputer aided drug design method were used to rapidly screen optimal PI3Kδ inhibitors from the Asinex database. Virtual screening based molecular docking was performed to find novel and potential lead compound targeting PI3Kδ, at first. Subsequently, drug likeness studies were carried out on the retrieved hits to evaluate and analyze their drug like properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) for toxicity prediction. Three least toxic compounds were selected for the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for 30 ns in order to validate its stability inside the active site of PI3Kδ receptor.ResultsBased on the present in silico analysis, two molecules have been identified which occupied the same binding pocket confirming the selection of active site. ASN 16296138 (Glide score: −12.175 kcal/mol, cdocker binding energy: −42.975 kcal/mol and ΔG_bind value: −90.457 kcal/mol) and BAS 00227397 (Glide score: −10.988 kcal/mol, cdocker binding energy: −39.3376 kcal/mol and ΔG_bind value: −81.953 kcal/mol) showed docking affinities comparatively much stronger than those of already reported known inhibitors against PI3Kδ. These two ligand’s behaviors also showed consistency during the simulation of protein-ligand complexes for 30000 ps respectively, which is indicative of its stability in the receptor pocket.ConclusionCompound ASN 16296138 and BAS 00227397 are potential candidates for experimental validation of biological activity against PI3Kδ in future drug discovery studies. This study smoothes the path for the development of novel leads with improved binding properties, high drug likeness, and low toxicity to humans for the treatment of cancer.

AimAn integrated protocol of virtual screening involving molecular docking, pharmacophore probing, and simulations was established to identify small novel molecules targeting crucial residues involved in the variant apoE ε4 to mimic its behavior as apoE2 thereby eliminating the amyloid plaque accumulation and facilitating its clearance.Materials and MethodsAn excellent ligand-based and structure-based approach was made to identify common pharmacophoric features involving structure-based docking with respect to apoE ε4 leading to the development of apoE ε4 inhibitors possessing new scaffolds. An effort was made to design multiple-substituted triazine derivatives series bearing a novel scaffold. A structure-based pharmacophore mapping was developed to explore the binding sites of apoE ε4 which was taken into consideration. Subsequently, virtual screening, ADMET, DFT searches were at work to narrow down the proposed hits to be forwarded as a potential drug likes candidates. Further, the binding patterns of the best-proposed hits were studied and were forwarded for molecular dynamic simulations of 10 ns for its structural optimization.ResultsSelectivity profile for the most promising candidates was studied, revealing significantly C13 and C15 to be the most potent compounds. The proposed hits can be forwarded for further study against apoE ε4 involved in neurological disorder Alzheimer’s.

Multiple QSAR and molecular modelling for identification of potent human adenovirus inhibitors

This study has investigated docking-based 2D- and 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for a range of 53 hydroxybenzamide analogues as anti- Human adenoviruses (HAdVs). The best 3D-QSAR (Schrodinger, LLC, NY, 2020) and 2D-QSAR models were obtained for the training set and were found to be statistically significant, with cross-validated coefficients (q²) of 0.6775 and 0.7875, and coefficients of determination (r²) of 0.8106 and 0.8122, respectively. Our in-silico docking and virtual screening studies revealed significant higher binding affinity of dataset molecule 34 (-141.444 ​kcal/mol) and hit ZINC01088642 (-114.357 ​kcal/mol) with 4PIE protein than the standard drugs. In in-silico ADME/toxicity studies, molecule 34 and proposed hit ZINC01088642 were found safe with good intestinal absorption, aqueous solubility, medium blood–brain barrier (BBB), no eye corrosion, no skin irritancy, and non-mutagenic profiles. Molecular dynamics analysis showed good stability of complex, hit ZINC01088642 with protein, 4PIE over the simulation period of 20 ns. We believe that further experimental, as well as in-vitro investigation, will shed more lights on the identification of ZINC01088642 as a potential human adenovirus agent.
