    Abstract Nucleotide prodrugs are of great clinical interest for treating a variety of viral infections due to their ability to target tissues selectively and to deliver relatively high concentrations of the active nucleotide metabolite intracellularly. However, their clinical successes have been limited, oftentimes due to unwanted in vivo metabolic processes that reduce the quantities of nucleoside triphosphate that reach the site of action. In an attempt to circumvent this, we designed novel nucleosides that incorporate a sterically bulky group at the 5'-carbon of the phosphoester prodrug, which we reasoned would reduce the amounts of non-productive PO bond cleavage back to the corresponding nucleoside by nucleotidases. Molecular docking studies with the NS5B HCV polymerase suggested that a nucleotide containing a 5'-methyl group could be accommodated. Therefore, we synthesized mono- and diphosphate prodrugs of 2',5'-C-dimethyluridine stereoselectively and evaluated their cytotoxicity and anti-HCV activity in the HCV replicon assay. All four prodrugs exhibited anti-HCV activity with IC

    Abstract 5-Fluorouracil and 5-fluorouracil-based prodrugs have been used clinically for decades to treat cancer. Their anticancer effects are most prominently ascribed to inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS) by metabolite 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (FdUMP). However, 5-fluorouracil and FdUMP are subject to numerous unfavorable metabolic events that can drive undesired systemic toxicity. Our previous research on antiviral nucleotides suggested that substitution at the nucleoside 5'-carbon imposes conformational restrictions on the corresponding nucleoside monophosphates, rendering them poor substrates for productive intracellular conversion to viral polymerase-inhibiting triphosphate metabolites. Accordingly, we hypothesized that 5'-substituted analogs of FdUMP, which is uniquely active at the monophosphate stage, would inhibit TS while preventing undesirable metabolism. Free energy perturbation-derived relative binding energy calculations suggested that 5'(

    Abstract Since the discovery of HIV as the etiological agent of AIDS, the virus has infected millions of people each year. Fortunately, with the use of HAART, viremia can be suppressed to below detectable levels in the infected individuals, which significantly improves their quality of life and prevents the onset of AIDS. However, HAART is not curative and issues relating to adherence and drug resistance may lead to the re-emergence of viremia, the development of AIDS, and ultimately death. To address a pressing need for the development of new and efficacious antiretroviral agents with activity against viruses bearing prevalent resistant mutations, we have designed two generations of benzimidazolone derivatives as HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The first generation benzimidazolone inhibitors were found to be potent inhibitors of wild-type HIV reverse transcriptase but were ineffective in the presence of common resistance mutations such as K103N and Y181C. A second generation benzimidazolone inhibitor (compound 42) not only showed inhibitory activity against wild-type HIV but also remained active against HIV containing the K103N, Y181C, and K103N/Y181C drug resistance mutations.

    Abstract Akt is a protein kinase that has been implicated in the progression of cancerous tumours. A number of covalent allosteric Akt inhibitors are known, and based on these scaffolds, a small library of novel potential covalent allosteric imidazopyridine-based inhibitors was designed. The envisaged compounds were synthesised, with click chemistry enabling a modular approach to a number of the target compounds. The binding modes, potencies and antiproliferative activities of these synthesised compounds were explored, thereby furthering the structure activity relationship knowledge of this class of Akt inhibitors. Three novel covalent inhibitors were identified, exhibiting moderate activity against Akt1 and various cancer cell lines, potentially paving the way for future covalent allosteric inhibitors with improved properties.

    Abstract Research has indicated that N-myristoyl transferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a myristate group to the N-terminal glycine residues of proteins, is involved in the myristoylation of more than 100 proteins. Genetic knockdown of the enzyme proved detrimental for the viability of the parasite P. knowlesi. A crystal structure of P. vivax N-myristoyl transferase (pvNMT), containing a 3-methyl benzofuran ligand has made it possible to assess key amino acid residue-ligand interactions. We synthesized five libraries of 6,5-fused heterocycles to establish the importance of the heterocycles as core scaffolds, as well as introduced various aromatic amides and esters to determine which carbonylic group affects the potency of each heterocyclic antiplasmodial agent.

    Abstract HIV resistance emerging against antiretroviral drugs represents a great threat to the continued prolongation of the lifespans of HIV-infected patients. Therefore, methods capable of predicting resistance susceptibility in the development of compounds are in great need. By targeting the major reverse transcription residues Y181, K103, and L100, we used the biological activities of compounds against these enzymes and the wild-type reverse transcriptase to create Naïve Bayes Networks. Through this machine learning approach, we could predict, with high accuracy, whether a compound would be susceptible to a loss of potency due to resistance. Also, we could perfectly predict retrospectively whether compounds would be susceptible to both a K103 mutant RT and a Y181 mutant RT. In the study presented here, our method outperformed a traditional molecular mechanics approach. This method should be of broad interest beyond drug discovery efforts, and serves to expand the utility of machine learning for the prediction of physical, chemical, or biological properties using the vast information available in the literature.
