    Abstract Following the recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2 or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), drug discovery and vaccine design to combat this fatal infection are critical. In this study, an essential enzyme in the SARS-CoV-2 replication machinery, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP), is targeted in a virtual screening assay using a set of 1,664 FDA-approved drugs, including sets of botanical and synthetic derivatives. A set of 22 drugs showed a high docking score of >-7. Notably, approximately one-third of the top hits were either from natural products or biological molecules. The FDA-approved phytochemicals were sennosides, digoxin, asiaticoside, glycyrrhizin, neohesperidin, taxifolin, quercetin and aloin. These approved natural products and phytochemicals are used as general tonics, antioxidants, cell protectives, and immune stimulants (nadid, thymopentin, asiaticoside, glycyrrhizin) and in other miscellaneous systemic or topical applications. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on standard precision and extra precision docking, two-step molecular dynamics simulations, binding energy calculations and a post dynamics analysis. The results reveal that two drugs, docetaxel and neohesperidin, showed strong binding profiles with SARS CoV-2 RdRP. These results can be used as a primer for further drug discovery studies in the treatment of COVID-19. This initiative repurposes safe FDA-approved drugs against COVID-19 RdRP, providing a rapid channel for the discovery and application of new anti-CoV therapeutics.

    Abstract Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are clinically available to control blood glucose levels in diabetic patients via an insulin-independent mechanism. It was found that some carbasugar analogs of known SGLT2 inhibitors exert a high inhibiting ability toward SGLT2 and have a prolonged blood glucose lowering effect. In this study, we designed new candidates of carbasugar SGLT2 inhibitor that can be synthesized using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) into an aromatic ring, which is a part of the pharmacophore at the final stage in the synthetic protocol for the easier discovery of superior SGLT2 inhibitors. Based on the results of molecular docking studies, some selected compounds have been synthesized. Evaluation of these compounds using a cell-based assay revealed that the majority of these compounds had SGLT2 inhibitory activity in a dose-dependent manner. The SGLT2 inhibitory activity of 7b and 7c was almost equal to that of SGLT2 inhibitors in current use. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations also revealed that 7c is a promising novel SGLT2 inhibitor.

    Abstract The spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent for COVID-19, has led to a global and deadly pandemic. To date, few drugs have been approved for treating SARS-CoV-2 infections. In this study, a structure-based approach was adopted using the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) and a carefully selected dataset of 37,060 compounds comprising Mpro and antiviral protein-specific libraries. The compounds passed two-step docking filtration, starting with standard precision (SP) followed by extra precision (XP) runs. Fourteen compounds with the highest XP docking scores were examined by 20 ns molecular dynamics simulations (MDs). Based on backbone route mean square deviations (RMSD) and molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) binding energy, four drugs were selected for comprehensive MDs analysis at 100 ns. Results indicated that birinapant, atazanavir, and ritonavir potently bound and stabilized SARS-CoV-2 Mpro structure. Binding energies higher than −102 kcal/mol, RMSD values <0.22 nm, formation of several hydrogen bonds with Mpro, favourable electrostatic contributions, and low radii of gyration were among the estimated factors contributing to the strength of the binding of these three compounds with Mpro. The top two compounds, atazanavir and birinapant, were tested for their ability to prevent SARS-CoV-2 plaque formation. At 10 µM of birinapant concentration, antiviral tests against SARS-CoV-2 demonstrated a 37% reduction of virus multiplication. Antiviral assays demonstrated that birinapant has high anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in the low micromolar range, with an IC50 value of 18 ± 3.6 µM. Therefore, birinapant is a candidate for further investigation to determine whether it is a feasible therapy option.

    Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of cefquinome in camel calves after a single intramuscular injection in a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight (kg b. w.). Cefquinome concentrations were measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). A non-compartmental pharmacokinetic model was used to fit the time-concentration curve and estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters. The peak serum concentration (Cmax) was 28.4 μg/mL at the time of maximum concentration (Tmax) of 25 min. The elimination half-life (t1/2) was 17.4 h. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) was 103.7 μg/ml-1h and the mean residence time (MRT0-∞) was 21.3 h. In comparison with other animal species, the pharmacokinetics of cefquinome in Arabian camel calves showed faster absorption from the site of injection and slower elimination. Since cefquinome, as other beta-lactams, is a time-dependent antimicrobial agent, a single dose of 2 mg/kg b. w. might be sufficient against the most sensitive organisms in camel calves owing to its prolonged elimination phase. However, dose readjustment is required for cases needing concentrations above 2 µg/mL for 12 h or above 1 µg/mL for 24 h.

    Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) constitutes a major target in drug discovery. Recently, we reported that the Argonaute protein 2 (Ago2) PAZ domain selectively binds with all ribonucleotides except adenine and poorly recognizes deoxyribonucleotides. The binding properties of the PAZ domain with polynucleotides and the molecular mechanisms of substrates’ selectivity remains unclear. In this study, the binding potencies of polynucleotides and the associated conformational and dynamic changes in PAZ domain are investigated. Coinciding with nucleotides’ binding profile with the PAZ domain, polyuridylate (PolyU) and polycytidylate (PolyC) were potent binders. However, KdPolyU and KdPolyC were 15.8 and 9.3μM, respectively. In contrast, polyadenylate (PolyA) binding was not detectable. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation revealed the highest change in root mean square deviation (RMSD) with ApoPAZ or PAZ domain bound with experimentally approved, low affinity substrates, whereas stronger binding substrates such as UMP or PolyU showed minimal RMSD changes. The loop between α3 and β5 in the β-hairpin subdomain showed the most responsive change in RMSD, being highly movable in the ApoPAZ and PAZ-AMP complex. Favorable substrate recognition was associate with moderate change in secondary structure content. In conclusion, the PAZ domain retains differential substrate selectivity associated with corresponding dynamic and structural changes upon binding.
