A review of osteoarthritis signaling intervention using small-molecule inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Numerous small-molecule inhibitors (SMIs) have been approved as adjuvant or first-line therapies for malignancies. Based on cancer treatment using SMIs, next-generation SMIs that can be used to optimize the therapeutic index, overcome drug resistance, and establish combination therapies are in development. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease with senescence, and there are various approaches to OA treatment; however, the gold standard treatment is controversial. Therefore, in this manuscript, we demonstrated the potential of using SMIs in OA treatment and described the general strategies for using SMIs in OA treatment.

Small molecule inhibitors of osteoarthritis: Current development and future perspective.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common degenerative joint diseases in clinic. It mainly damages articular cartilage, causing pain, swelling and stiffness around joints, and is the main cause of disability of the elderly. Due to the unclear pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and the poor self-healing ability of articular cartilage, the treatment options for this disease are limited. At present, NSAIDs, Glucocorticoid and Duloxetine are the most commonly used treatment choice for osteoarthritis. Although it is somewhat effective, the adverse reactions are frequent and serious. The development of safer and more effective anti-osteoarthritis drugs is essential and urgent. This review summarizes recent advances in the pharmacological treatment of OA, focusing on small molecule inhibitors targeting cartilage remodeling in osteoarthritis as well as the research idea of reducing adverse effects by optimizing the dosage form of traditional drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis. It should provide a reference for exploration of new potential treatment options.

Recent Advances in Small Molecule Inhibitors for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis.

Project description:Osteoarthritis refers to a degenerative disease with joint pain as the main symptom, and it is caused by various factors, including fibrosis, chapping, ulcers, and loss of articular cartilage. Traditional treatments can only delay the progression of osteoarthritis, and patients may need joint replacement eventually. As a class of organic compound molecules weighing less than 1000 daltons, small molecule inhibitors can target proteins as the main components of most drugs clinically. Small molecule inhibitors for osteoarthritis are under constant research. In this regard, by reviewing relevant manuscripts, small molecule inhibitors targeting MMPs, ADAMTS, IL-1, TNF, WNT, NF-κB, and other proteins were reviewed. We summarized these small molecule inhibitors with different targets and discussed disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs based on them. These small molecule inhibitors have good inhibitory effects on osteoarthritis, and this review will provide a reference for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and small molecule inhibitors.

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a branch of a functional network that dates back to the first metazoans and it is involved in a broad range of biological systems including stem cells, embryonic development and adult organs. Deregulation of components involved in Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in a wide spectrum of diseases including a number of cancers and degenerative diseases. The key mediator of Wnt signaling, β-catenin, serves several cellular functions. It functions in a dynamic mode at multiple cellular locations, including the plasma membrane, where β-catenin contributes to the stabilization of intercellular adhesive complexes, the cytoplasm where β-catenin levels are regulated and the nucleus where β-catenin is involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin interactions. Central effectors of β-catenin levels are a family of cysteine-rich secreted glycoproteins, known as Wnt morphogens. Through the LRP5/6-Frizzled receptor complex, Wnts regulate the location and activity of the destruction complex and consequently intracellular β- catenin levels. However, β-catenin levels and their effects on transcriptional programs are also influenced by multiple other factors including hypoxia, inflammation, hepatocyte growth factor-mediated signaling, and the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. The broad implications of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in development, in the adult body and in disease render the pathway a prime target for pharmacological research and development. The intricate regulation of β-catenin at its various locations provides alternative points for therapeutic interventions.

Evolving Spindlin1 Small Molecule Inhibitors Using Protein Microarrays

Project description:Using a library of tagged UNC1215 analogs, we screened a protein domain microarray of methyl-lysine effector molecules to rapidly detect compounds with novel binding profiles. Using this approach, we identified a compound (EML405) that acquired a novel interaction with the Tudor domain-containing protein Spindlin1 (SPIN1). Structural studies revealed that the symmetric nature of EML405 allows it to simultaneously engage two of SPIN1’s Tudor domains, and also facilitated the rational synthesis of more selective SPIN1 inhibitor (EML631). The EML631 compound engages SPIN1 in cells, blocks its ability to “read” H3K4me3 marks, and inhibits its transcriptional coactivator activity.

Discovery of small molecule inhibitors of MyD88-dependent signaling pathways using a computational screen.

Project description:In this study, we used high-throughput computational screening to discover drug-like inhibitors of the host MyD88 protein-protein signaling interaction implicated in the potentially lethal immune response associated with Staphylococcal enterotoxins. We built a protein-protein dimeric docking model of the Toll-interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain of MyD88 and identified a binding site for docking small molecules. Computational screening of 5 million drug-like compounds led to testing of 30 small molecules; one of these molecules inhibits the TIR-TIR domain interaction and attenuates pro-inflammatory cytokine production in human primary cell cultures. Compounds chemically similar to this hit from the PubChem database were observed to be more potent with improved drug-like properties. Most of these 2(nd) generation compounds inhibit Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-1β production at 2-10 μM in human primary cells. Biochemical analysis and a cell-based reporter assay revealed that the most promising compound, T6167923, disrupts MyD88 homodimeric formation, which is critical for its signaling function. Furthermore, we observed that administration of a single dose of T6167923 completely protects mice from lethal SEB-induced toxic shock. In summary, our in silico approach has identified anti-inflammatory inhibitors against in vitro and in vivo toxin exposure with promise to treat other MyD88-related pro-inflammatory diseases.

An Updated Review on Developing Small Molecule Kinase Inhibitors Using Computer-Aided Drug Design Approaches.

Project description:Small molecule kinase inhibitors (SMKIs) are of heightened interest in the field of drug research and development. There are 79 (as of July 2023) small molecule kinase inhibitors that have been approved by the FDA and hundreds of kinase inhibitor candidates in clinical trials that have shed light on the treatment of some major diseases. As an important strategy in drug design, computer-aided drug design (CADD) plays an indispensable role in the discovery of SMKIs. CADD methods such as docking, molecular dynamic, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics, pharmacophore, virtual screening, and quantitative structure-activity relationship have been applied to the design and optimization of small molecule kinase inhibitors. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advances in CADD and SMKIs and the application of CADD in the discovery of SMKIs.

Developing Spindlin1 small-molecule inhibitors by using protein microarrays.

Project description:The discovery of inhibitors of methyl- and acetyl-binding domains has provided evidence for the 'druggability' of epigenetic effector molecules. The small-molecule probe UNC1215 prevents methyl-dependent protein-protein interactions by engaging the aromatic cage of MBT domains and, with lower affinity, Tudor domains. Using a library of tagged UNC1215 analogs, we screened a protein-domain microarray of human methyllysine effector molecules to rapidly detect compounds with new binding profiles with either increased or decreased specificity. Using this approach, we identified a compound (EML405) that acquired a novel interaction with the Tudor-domain-containing protein Spindlin1 (SPIN1). Structural studies facilitated the rational synthesis of SPIN1 inhibitors with increased selectivity (EML631-633), which engage SPIN1 in cells, block its ability to 'read' H3K4me3 marks and inhibit its transcriptional-coactivator activity. Protein microarrays can thus be used as a platform to 'target-hop' and identify small molecules that bind and compete with domain-motif interactions.

Chemical 'Jekyll and Hyde's: small-molecule inhibitors of developmental signaling pathways.

Project description:Small molecules that perturb developmental signaling pathways can have devastating effects on embryonic patterning, as evidenced by the chemically induced onset of cyclopic lambs and children with severely shortened limbs during the 1950s. Recent studies, however, have revealed critical roles for these pathways in human disorders and diseases, spurring the re-examination of these compounds as new targeted therapies. In this tutorial review, we describe four case studies of teratogenic compounds, including inhibitors of the Hedgehog (Hh), Wnt, and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathways. We discuss how these teratogens were discovered, their mechanisms of action, their utility as molecular probes, and their potential as therapeutic agents. We also consider current challenges in the field and possible directions for future research.

Small Molecule Condensin Inhibitors.

Project description:Condensins play a unique role in orchestrating the global folding of the chromosome, an essential cellular process, and contribute to human disease and bacterial pathogenicity. As such, they represent an attractive and as yet untapped target for diverse therapeutic interventions. We describe here the discovery of small molecule inhibitors of the Escherichia coli condensin MukBEF. Pilot screening of a small diversity set revealed five compounds that inhibit the MukBEF pathway, two of which, Michellamine B and NSC260594, affected MukB directly. Computer-assisted docking suggested plausible binding sites for the two compounds in the hinge and head domains of MukB, and both binding sites were experimentally validated using mutational analysis and inspection of NSC260594 analogs. These results outline a strategy for the discovery of condensin inhibitors, identify druggable binding sites on the protein, and describe two small molecule inhibitors of condensins.
