Drug resistance is a constant threat to malaria control efforts making it important to maintain a good pipeline of new drug candidates. Of particular need are compounds that also block transmission by targeting sexual stage parasites. Mature sexual stages are relatively resistant to all currently used antimalarials except the 8-aminoquinolines that are not commonly used due to potential side effects. Here, we synthesized a new Torin 2 derivative, NCATS-SM3710(I) with increased aqueous solubility and specificity for Plasmodium and demonstrate potent in vivo activity against all P. berghei life cycle stages. NCATS-SM3710 also has low nanomolar EC50s against in vitro cultured asexual P. falciparum parasites (0.38 ± 0.04 nM) and late stage gametocytes (5.77 ± 1 nM). Two independent NCATS-SM3710/Torin 2 resistant P. falciparum parasite lines produced by growth in sublethal Torin 2 concentrations both had genetic changes in PF3D7_0509800, annotated as a phosphatidylinositol 4 kinase (Pf PI4KIIIβ). One line had a point mutation in the putative active site (V1357G), and the other line had a duplication of a locus containing Pf PI4KIIIβ. Both lines were also resistant to other Pf PI4K inhibitors. In addition NCATS-SM3710 inhibited purified Pf PI4KIIIβ with an IC50 of 2.0 ± 0.30 nM. Together the results demonstrate that Pf PI4KIIIβ is the target of Torin 2 and NCATS-SM3710 and provide new options for potent multistage drug development.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences published new progress about Antitumor agents. 1223001-51-1 belongs to class naphthyridine, and the molecular formula is C24H15F3N4O, Safety of 9-(6-Aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one.

Heinzen, Dennis; Dive, Iris; Lorenz, Nadja I.; Luger, Anna-Luisa; Steinbach, Joachim P.; Ronellenfitsch, Michael W. published the artcile< Second generation mTOR inhibitors as a double-edged sword in malignant glioma treatment>, Safety of 9-(6-Aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, the main research area is mTOR inhibitor malignant glioma antitumor; glioblastoma; hypoxia; mTOR; mTOR inhibition; starvation; tumor microenvironment.

Glioblastomas (GBs) frequently display activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). mTOR exists as part of two multiprotein complexes, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and 2 (mTORC2). In GBs, mTORC1 inhibitors such as rapamycin have performed poorly in clin. trials, and in vitro protect GB cells from nutrient and oxygen deprivation. Next generation ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitors with affinity for both mTOR complexes have been developed, but data exploring their effects on GB metabolism are scarce. In this study, we compared the ATP-competitive mTORC1/2 inhibitors torin2, INK-128 and NVP-Bez235 to the allostericmTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin under conditions that mimic the glioma microenvironment. In addition to inhibiting mTORC2 signaling, INK-128 and NVP-Bez235 more effectively blocked mTORC1 signaling and prompted a stronger cell growth inhibition, partly by inducing cell cycle arrest. However, under hypoxic and nutrient-poor conditions mTORC1/2 inhibitors displayed even stronger cytoprotective effects than rapamycin by reducing oxygen and glucose consumption. Thus, therapies that arrest proliferation and inhibit anabolic metabolism must be expected to improve energy homeostasis of tumor cells. These results mandate caution when treating physiol. or therapeutically induced hypoxic GBs with mTOR inhibitors.

Current Developments in Nutrition published new progress about Pancreatic neoplasm. 1223001-51-1 belongs to class naphthyridine, and the molecular formula is C24H15F3N4O, Application of C24H15F3N4O.

Soliman, Ghada A.; Shukla, Surendra K.; Etekpo, Asserewou; Gunda, Venugopal; Steenson, Sharalyn M.; Gautam, Nagsen; Alnouti, Yazen; Singh, Pankaj K. published the artcile< The synergistic effect of an ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR and metformin on pancreatic tumor growth>, Application of C24H15F3N4O, the main research area is pancreatic tumor mTOR metformin.

We investigated the impact of inhibition of mTORC1/mTORC2 and synergism with metformin on pancreatic tumor growth and metabolomics. Cell lines derived from pancreatic tumors of the KPC (KrasG12D/+; p53R172H/+; Pdx1-Cre) transgenic mice model were implanted into the pancreas of C57BL/6 albino mice (n = 10/group). Two weeks later, the mice were injected i.p. with daily doses of 1) Torin 2 (mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitor) at a high concentration (TH), 2) Torin 2 at a low concentration (TL), 3) metformin at a low concentration (ML), 4) a combination of Torin 2 and metformin at low concentrations (TLML), or 5) DMSO vehicle (control) for 12 d. Tissues and blood samples were collected for targeted xenometabolomics anal., drug concentration, and cell signaling. Metabolomic anal. of the control and treated plasma samples showed differential metabolite profiles. Phenylalanine was significantly elevated in the TLML group compared with the control (+426%, P = 0.0004), whereas uracil was significantly lower (-38%, P = 0.009). The combination treatment reduced tumor growth in the orthotopic mouse model. TLML significantly decreased tumor weights (0.66 ± 0.08 g; 52%) compared with the control (1.28 ± 0.19 g; 100%) (P < 0.002). The combination of mTOR dual inhibition by Torin 2 and metformin is associated with an altered metabolomic profile and a significant reduction in pancreatic tumor burden compared with single-agent therapy, and it is better tolerated.

Yu, Pan; Cao, Weiya; Yang, Shilong; Wang, Yuan; Xia, Aixin; Tan, Xinlan; Wang, Luyi published the artcile< Design, synthesis and antitumor evaluation of novel quinazoline analogs in hepatocellular carcinoma cell>, Formula: C24H15F3N4O, the main research area is quinazoline preparation antitumor activity mol docking protein kinase inhibitor.

In this paper, five quinazoline analogs I (R = Cl, 1H-indol-5-yl, 4-chlorophenyl, pyridin-3-yl, 4-aminophenyl) were preliminary designed through scaffold shopping from mTOR inhibitors and synthesized in four steps. Five compounds I exhibited potent antitumor activity against the HepG2 cell line by MTT assay. Compound I (R = 1H-indol-5-yl) (II) (IC50 = 4.06μM) was found as the most potent analog and showed better antiproliferative ability than sorafenib (IC50 = 6.14μM). The result of the wound healing assay and transwell migration assay indicated II strong potential to suppress HepG2 cell migration in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The underlying mechanism of its cytotoxicity was also investigated and the results of western blotting confirmed that compound II exposure could block the cell cycle, promote apoptosis and inhibit AKT and mTOR phosphorylation in HepG2 cells. Mol. docking further supported that compound II showed a high affinity to mTOR kinase. The results favored rational design intention and hinted that the new quinazolines I might be helpful in the further explorations of potent agents.

Wang, Zhihan; Guo, Kai; Gao, Pan; Pu, Qinqin; Lin, Ping; Qin, Shugang; Xie, Na; Hur, Junguk; Li, Changlong; Huang, Canhua; Wu, Min published the artcile< Microbial and genetic-based framework identifies drug targets in inflammatory bowel disease>, Name: 9-(6-Aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, the main research area is inflammatory bowel disease drug target microbial genetic framework; Inflammatory bowel disease; brefeldin-a; cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS); drug repurposing; host transcriptome-microbiome interaction.

With increasing incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it has become one of the major public health threats, and there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic agents. Although the pathogenesis of IBD is still unclear, previous research has provided evidence for complex interplays between genetic, immune, microbial, and environmental factors. Here, we constructed a gene-microbiota interaction-based framework to discover IBD biomarkers and therapeutics. We identified candidate biomarkers for IBD by analyzing the publicly available transcriptomic and microbiome data from IBD cohorts. Animal models of IBD and diarrhea were established. The inflammation-correlated microbial and genetic variants in gene knockout mice were identified by 16S rRNA sequences and PCR array. We performed bioinformatic anal. of microbiome functional prediction and drug repurposing. Our validation experiments with cells and animals confirmed anti-inflammatory properties of a drug candidate. We identified the DNA-sensing enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) as a potential biomarker for IBD in both patients and murine models. cGAS knockout mice were less susceptible to DSS-induced colitis. cGAS-associated gut microbiota and host genetic factors relating to IBD pathogenesis were also identified. Using a computational drug repurposing approach, we predicted 43 candidate drugs with high potency to reverse colitis-associated gene expression and validated that brefeldin-a mitigates inflammatory response in colitis mouse model and colon cancer cell lines. By integrating computational screening, microbiota interference, gene knockout techniques, and in vitro and in vivo validation, we built a framework for predicting biomarkers and host-microbe interaction targets and identifying repurposing drugs for IBD, which may be tested further for clin. application. This approach may also be a tool for repurposing drugs for treating other diseases.

Taguchi, Y.-H. published the artcile< Drug candidate identification based on gene expression of treated cells using tensor decomposition-based unsupervised feature extraction for large-scale data>, HPLC of Formula: 1223001-51-1, the main research area is gene expression tensor decomposition extraction; Feature extraction; Gene expression; Tensor decomposition.

Although in silico drug discovery is necessary for drug development, two major strategies, a structure-based and ligand-based approach, have not been completely successful. Currently, the third approach, inference of drug candidates from gene expression profiles obtained from the cells treated with the compounds under study requires the use of a training dataset. Here, the purpose was to develop a new approach that does not require any pre-existing knowledge about the drug-protein interactions, but these interactions can be inferred by means of an integrated approach using gene expression profiles obtained from the cells treated with the analyzed compounds and the existing data describing gene-gene interactions. In the present study, using tensor decomposition-based unsupervised feature extraction, which represents an extension of the recently proposed principal-component anal.-based feature extraction, gene sets and compounds with a significant dose-dependent activity were screened without any training datasets. Next, after these results were combined with the data showing perturbations in single-gene expression profiles, genes targeted by the analyzed compounds were inferred. The set of target genes thus identified was shown to significantly overlap with known target genes of the compounds under study. The method is specifically designed for large-scale datasets (including hundreds of treatments with compounds), not for conventional small-scale datasets. The obtained results indicate that two compounds that have not been extensively studied, WZ-3105 and CGP-60474, represent promising drug candidates targeting multiple cancers, including melanoma, adenocarcinoma, liver carcinoma, and breast, colon, and prostate cancers, which were analyzed in this in silico study.

Disorders of lysosomal physiol. have increasingly been found to underlie the pathol. of a rapidly growing cast of neurodevelopmental disorders and sporadic diseases of aging. One cardinal aspect of lysosomal (dys)function is lysosomal acidification in which defects trigger lysosomal stress signaling and defects in proteolytic capacity. We have developed a genetically encoded ratiometric probe to measure lysosomal pH coupled with a purification tag to efficiently purify lysosomes for both proteomic and in vitro evaluation of their function. Using our probe, we showed that lysosomal pH is remarkably stable over a period of days in a variety of cell types. Addnl., this probe can be used to determine that lysosomal stress signaling via TFEB is uncoupled from gross changes in lysosomal pH. Finally, we demonstrated that while overexpression of ARL8B GTPase causes striking alkalinization of peripheral lysosomes in HEK293 T cells, peripheral lysosomes per se are no less acidic than juxtanuclear lysosomes in our cell lines.

Phan, Trong-Nhat; Baek, Kyung-Hwa; Lee, Nakyung; Byun, Soo Young; Shum, David; No, Joo Hwan published the artcile< In vitro and in vivo activity of mTOR kinase and PI3K inhibitors against Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei>, Application of C24H15F3N4O, the main research area is Leishmania Trypanosoma acute monocytic leukemia dactolisib Torin2 PI3K mTOR; Leishmania; Trypanosoma; inhibitors; mammalian target of rapamycin; phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Kinetoplastid parasites, including Leishmania and Trypanosoma spp., are life threatening pathogens with a worldwide distribution. Next-generation therapeutics for treatment are needed as current treatments have limitations, such as toxicity and drug resistance. In this study, we examined the activities of established mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors against these tropical diseases. High-throughput screening of a library of 1742 bioactive compounds against intracellular L. donovani was performed, and seven mTOR/PI3K inhibitors were identified. Dose-dilution assays revealed that these inhibitors had half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values ranging from 0.14 to 13.44 muM for L. donovani amastigotes and from 0.00005 to 8.16 muM for T. brucei. The results of a visceral leishmaniasis mouse model indicated that treatment with Torin2, dactolisib, or NVP-BGT226 resulted in reductions of 35%, 53%, and 54%, resp., in the numbers of liver parasites. In an acute T. brucei mouse model using NVP-BGT226 parasite numbers were reduced to under the limits of detection by five consecutive days of treatment. Multiple sequence and structural alignment results indicated high similarities between mTOR and kinetoplastid TORs; the inhibitors are predicted to bind in a similar manner. Taken together, these results indicated that the TOR pathways of parasites have potential for the discovery of novel targets and new potent inhibitors.

High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) remains a significant therapeutic challenge facing current pediatric oncol. patients. Structural variants such as gene fusions have shown an initial promise in enhancing mechanistic understanding of NB and improving survival rates. In this study, we performed a comprehensive in silico investigation on the translational ability of gene fusions for patient stratification and treatment development for high-risk NB patients. Specifically, three state-of-the-art gene fusion detection algorithms, including ChimeraScan, SOAPfuse, and TopHat-Fusion, were employed to identify the fusion transcripts in a RNA-seq data set of 498 neuroblastoma patients. Then, the 176 high-risk patients were further stratified into four different subgroups based on gene fusion profiles. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival anal. was performed, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for the redefined high-risk group were extracted and functionally analyzed. Finally, repositioning candidates were enriched in each patient subgroup with drug transcriptomic profiles from the LINCS L1000 Connectivity Map. We found the number of identified gene fusions was increased from clin. the low-risk stage to the high-risk stage. Although the tech. concordance of fusion detection algorithms was suboptimal, they have a similar biol. relevance concerning perturbed pathways and regulated DEGs. The gene fusion profiles could be utilized to redefine high-risk patient subgroups with significant onset age of NB, which yielded the improved survival curves (Log-rank p value le 0.05). Out of 48 enriched repositioning candidates, 45 (93.8%) have antitumor potency, and 24 (50%) were confirmed with either on-going clin. trials or literature reports. The gene fusion profiles have a discrimination power for redefining patient subgroups in high-risk NB and facilitate precision medicine-based drug repositioning implementation.

Hussain, Azhar R.; Al-Romaizan, Maha; Ahmed, Maqbool; Thangavel, Saravanan; Al-Dayel, Fouad; Beg, Shaham; Uddin, Shahab; Siraj, Abdul K.; Al-Kuraya, Khawla S. published the artcile< Dual targeting of mTOR activity with Torin2 potentiates anticancer effects of cisplatin in epithelial ovarian cancer>, Electric Literature of 1223001-51-1, the main research area is Torin2 cisplatin antitumor mTOR signaling epithelial ovarian cancer.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) are two key components of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Dysregulation of these pathways have been found in many cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), however, the role of mTOR has not been fully elucidated in Middle Eastern EOC. Therefore, we investigated the activation of mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) in a cohort of 156 EOC from Saudi Arabia by immunohistochem. in a tissue microarray format. mTORC1 and mTORC2 were found to be activated in 55 of 146 (37.7%) and 63 of 140 (45%) of EOC samples, resp. mTORC1 was significantly associated with mTORC2 (p < 0.0001) activation and both mTOR complexes were significantly associated with p-AKT (p = 0.0205 and 0.0298) and p-P70S6 (p < 0.0001 and 0.0035), resp. Interestingly, mTOR activation incurred a poor progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.0188) in EOC. Next, the in vitro effect of inactivation of mTOR complexes was evaluated using a second-generation mTOR inhibitor, Torin2, on a panel of EOC cell lines. Torin2 treatment decreased cell viability and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner via inactivation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 and their downstream targets in EOC cell lines. Furthermore, treatment of EOC cells with a subtoxic dose of Torin2 potentiated a cisplatin-induced apoptotic response in EOC cell lines. Finally, we studied the in vivo effect of a combination of Torin2 and cisplatin and found that this combination synergistically inhibited tumor growth in nude mice. These studies highlight the importance of targeting the mTOR survival pathway and suggest that cotreatment with cisplatin and Torin2 may be beneficial for the management of EOC.
