    Abstract The cellular fingerprint, a novel in silico screening approach, was developed to identify new biologically active compounds in combination with structural fingerprints. To this end, high-throughput screening (HTS) data from the National Cancer Institute have been used. To validate this method, we have selected the proapoptotic, natural compound betulinic acid (BA). Because of its antiproliferative effect on a variety of cancer cell lines, the identification of novel BA analogs is of great interest. Novel analogs have been identified and validated in different apoptosis assays. In addition, the novel approach exhibited a strong correlation between structural similarity and biological activity, so that it offers enormous potential for the identification of novel biologically active compounds.

    Abstract Apoptosis, the programmed cell death, is a highly regulated process, necessary for normal development and homeostasis of the functions of organisms. The Bcl-2 inhibitors BH3I-1 and BH3I-2 were used as lead compounds to find possible Bcl-2 or Bcl-X(L) inhibitors by using computer-assisted screening with our in-house database, containing more than four million commercially available molecules. Identified compounds were further investigated regarding their possible application as a drug.

    Abstract Although tremendous effort has been put into synthetic libraries, most drugs on the market are still natural compounds or derivatives thereof. There are encyclopaedias of natural compounds, but the availability of these compounds is often unclear and catalogues from numerous suppliers have to be checked. To overcome these problems we have compiled a database of approximately 50,000 natural compounds from different suppliers. To enable efficient identification of the desired compounds, we have implemented substructure searches with typical templates. Starting points for in silico screenings are about 2500 well-known and classified natural compounds from a compendium that we have added. Possible medical applications can be ascertained via automatic searches for similar drugs in a free conformational drug database containing WHO indications. Furthermore, we have computed about three million conformers, which are deployed to account for the flexibilities of the compounds when the 3D superposition algorithm that we have developed is used. The SuperNatural Database is publicly available at http://bioinformatics.charite.de/supernatural. Viewing requires the free Chime-plugin from MDL (Chime) or Java2 Runtime Environment (MView), which is also necessary for using Marvin application for chemical drawing.

    Abstract Background: Inhibition of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) associated kinases CK2 and PKD by curcumin causes stabilization of the tumor suppressor p53. It has been shown that curcumin induces tumor cell death and apoptosis. Curcumin and emodin block the CSN-directed c-Jun signaling pathway, which results in diminished c-Jun steady state levels in HeLa cells. The aim of this work was to search for new CSN kinase inhibitors analogue to curcumin and emodin by means of an in silico screening method.
    Methods: Here we present a novel method to identify efficient inhibitors of CSN-associated kinases. Using curcumin and emodin as lead structures an in silico screening with our in-house database containing more than 10(6) structures was carried out. Thirty-five compounds were identified and further evaluated by the Lipinski's rule-of-five. Two groups of compounds can be clearly discriminated according to their structures: the curcumin-group and the emodin-group. The compounds were evaluated in in vitro kinase assays and in cell culture experiments.
    Results: The data revealed 3 compounds of the curcumin-group (e.g. piceatannol) and 4 of the emodin-group (e.g. anthrachinone) as potent inhibitors of CSN-associated kinases. Identified agents increased p53 levels and induced apoptosis in tumor cells as determined by annexin V-FITC binding, DNA fragmentation and caspase activity assays.
    Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that the new in silico screening method is highly efficient for identifying potential anti-tumor drugs.

    Abstract Photo-switchable compounds are becoming increasingly popular for a series of biological applications based on the reversible photo-control of structure and function of biomolecules. Three applications for the usage of BODTCM and hemithioindigo as photo-reactive compounds are described here. The structure of the villin headpiece was modified by replacing a part of the backbone with hemithioindigo, aiming at induction of the folding process by irradiation with a defined wavelength. The E-isomer of BODTCM was applied as potential inhibitor of the 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX), which is implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. A required death domain for the binding of proapoptotic proteins (e.g. Bak) to the hydrophobic groove of antiapoptotic proteins is the BH3 helix. Inserting hemithioindigo into this short peptide, stabilization towards proteolytic degradation is achieved. Such photo-reactive compounds might be developed as potential drugs for a great variety of diseases.
