    Abstract In this work, a capillary electrophoresis method was developed as a quality control tool to determine the enantiomeric purity of a series of five chiral compounds evaluated as potential severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 3CL protease inhibitors. The first cyclodextrin tested, that is, highly sulfated-β-cyclodextrin, at 6% (m/v) in a 25 mM phosphate buffer, using a capillary dynamically coated with polyethylene oxide, at an applied voltage of 15 kV and a temperature of 25°C, was found to successfully separate the five derivatives. The limits of detection and quantification were calculated together with the greenness score of the method in order to evaluate the method in terms of analytical and environmental performance. In addition, it is noteworthy that simultaneously high-performance liquid chromatography separation of the enantiomers of the same compounds with two different columns, the amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-coated and the cellulose tris(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate)-immobilized on silica stationary phases, was studied. Neither the former stationary phase nor the latter was able to separate all derivatives in a mobile phase consisting of n-heptane/propan-2-ol 80/20 (v/v).

    Abstract Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a multifunctional protease due to the variety of its substrates, its various cellular locations, its conservation between species and its many non-proteolytic functions. Numerous studies have successfully demonstrated its implication in two main therapeutic areas: metabolic and neuronal diseases. In recent years, several reports have underlined the overexpression of this enzyme in different cancers. Still, the exact role of IDE in the physiopathology of cancer remains to be elucidated. Known as the main enzyme responsible for the degradation of insulin, an essential growth factor for healthy cells and cancer cells, IDE has also been shown to behave like a chaperone and interact with the proteasome. The pharmacological modulation of IDE (siRNA, chemical compounds, etc.) has demonstrated interesting results in cancer models. All these results point towards IDE as a potential target in cancer. In this review, we will discuss evidence of links between IDE and cancer development or resistance, IDE's functions, catalytic or non-catalytic, in the context of cell proliferation, cancer development and the impact of the pharmacomodulation of IDE via cancer therapeutics.

    Abstract The concept of privileged structure has been used as a fruitful approach for the discovery of novel biologically active molecules. A privileged structure is defined as a semi-rigid scaffold able to display substituents in multiple spatial directions and capable of providing potent and selective ligands for different biological targets through the modification of those substituents. On average, these backbones tend to exhibit improved drug-like properties and therefore represent attractive starting points for hit-to-lead optimization programs. This article promotes the rapid, reliable, and efficient synthesis of novel, highly 3-dimensional, and easily functionalized bio-inspired tricyclic spirolactams, as well as an analysis of their drug-like properties.

    Abstract Phthalate acid esters (PAE) are used as additives in the formulation of plastics, to increase their flexibility and transparency. They can migrate from plastic packaging to food, then cause endocrine disruption in consumers. This migration depends on the conditions of use defined for each plastic. Non-food plastics are likely to release more PAE than food-grade plastics. In Cameroon, non-food grade plastics such as old paint buckets are used by people to preserve liquid food. The present work aimed at studying the conditions and mechanism of migration of total PAE from paint buckets to pap. For this purpose, the effects of seven factors were determined through Plackett-Burman experimental design. The interactions of the most influential factors were determined through a full factorial design. The conditions of the migration of total PAE were obtained via face-centered composite design. Then experimental results of migration kinetics were modelled according to equations of pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion. The results revealed that the most influential factors were pH, temperature and contact time. The effects of these factors are non-linear, and their interactions have to be considered. When pap is preserved in paint buckets according to the conditions: temperature of pap >70 °C, pH of pap ≤4 or ≥10 and contact time > 2 h, as is the case in donut shops in Cameroon, the amount of total PAE released is greater than 50 μg/L. Migration of total PAE from paint buckets to pap is best described by the pseudo-second order model.

    Abstract Cell transfection, indispensable for many biological studies, requires controlling many parameters for an accurate and successful achievement. Most often performed at low throughput, it is moreover time-consuming and error-prone, even more so when multiplexing several plasmids. We developed an easy, fast, and accurate method to perform cell transfection in a 384-well plate layout using acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology. The nanodispenser device used in this study is based on this technology and allows precise nanovolume delivery at high speed from a source well plate to a destination one. It can dispense and multiplex DNA and transfection reagent according to a predesigned spreadsheet. Here we present an optimal protocol to perform ADE-based high-throughput plasmid transfection which makes it possible to reach an efficiency of up to 90% and a nearly 100% cotransfection in cotransfection experiments. We extend initial work by proposing a user-friendly spreadsheet-based macro, able to manage up to four plasmids/wells from a library containing up to 1,536 different plasmids, and a tablet-based pipetting guide application. The macro designs the necessary template(s) of the source plate(s) and generates the ready-to-use files for the nanodispenser and tablet-based application. The four-steps transfection protocol involves i) a diluent dispense with a classical liquid handler, ii) plasmid distribution and multiplexing, iii) a transfection reagent dispense by the nanodispenser, and iv) cell plating on the prefilled wells. The described software-based control of ADE plasmid multiplexing and transfection allows even nonspecialists in the field to perform a reliable cell transfection in a fast and safe way. This method enables rapid identification of optimal settings for a given cell type and can be transposed to higher-scale and manual approaches. The protocol eases applications, such as human ORFeome protein (set of open reading frames [ORFs] in a genome) expression or CRISPR-Cas9-based gene function validation, in nonpooled screening strategies.

    Abstract The Labcyte Echo acoustic liquid handler allows accurate droplet ejection at high speed from a source well plate to a destination plate. It has already been used in various miniaturized biological assays, such as quantitative PCR (q-PCR), quantitative real-time PCR (q-RT-PCR), protein crystallization, drug screening, cell dispensing, and siRNA transfection. However, no plasmid DNA transfection assay has been published so far using this dispensing technology. In this study, we evaluated the ability of the Echo 550 device to perform plasmid DNA transfection in 384-well plates. Due to the high throughput of this device, we simultaneously optimized the three main parameters of a transfection process: dilution of the transfection reagent, DNA amount, and starting DNA concentration. We defined a four-step protocol whose optimal settings allowed us to transfect HeLa cells with up to 90% efficiency and reach a co-expression of nearly 100% within transfected cells in co-transfection experiments. This fast, reliable, and automated protocol opens new ways to easily and rapidly identify optimal transfection settings for a given cell type. Furthermore, it permits easy software-based transfection control and multiplexing of plasmids distributed on wells of a source plate. This new development could lead to new array applications, such as human ORFeome protein expression or CRISPR-Cas9-based gene function validation in nonpooled screening strategies.

    Abstract An efficient one-pot procedure combining bromide conversion into azide followed by NiAAC for the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles has been developed. This procedure prevents the use of isolated azides, which are insufficiently commercially available and could be potentially unstable and difficult to handle. Moreover, this one-pot method tolerates a broad range of functional moieties including ester, carbamate or alcohol. Diverse 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles can be obtained from functionalized aryl and alkyl alkynes and bromides with modest to excellent yields and regioselectivities. This procedure will enable the synthesis of libraries of functionalizable 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles particularly helpful for diverse applications such as medicinal chemistry and chemical biology purposes.

    Abstract Summary: Several web-based tools predict the putative targets of a small molecule query compound by similarity to molecules with known bioactivity data using molecular fingerprints. In numerous situations, it would however be valuable to be able to run such computations on a local computer. We present FastTargetPred, a new program for the prediction of protein targets for small molecule queries. Structural similarity computations rely on a large collection of confirmed protein-ligand activities extracted from the curated ChEMBL 25 database. The program allows to annotate an input chemical library of ∼100k compounds within a few hours on a simple personal computer.
    Availability and implementation: FastTargetPred is written in Python 3 (≥3.7) and C languages. Python code depends only on the Python Standard Library. The program can be run on Linux, MacOS and Windows operating systems. Pre-compiled versions are available at https://github.com/ludovicchaput/FastTargetPred. FastTargetPred is licensed under the GNU GPLv3. The program calls some scripts from the free chemistry toolkit MayaChemTools.

    Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder characterized by loss of pancreatic β-cell function, decreased insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance, that affects more than 537 million people worldwide. Although several treatments are proposed to patients suffering from T2D, long-term control of glycemia remains a challenge. Therefore, identifying new potential drugs and targets that positively affect β-cell function and insulin secretion remains crucial. Here, we developed an automated approach to allow the identification of new compounds or genes potentially involved in β-cell function in a 384-well plate format, using the murine β-cell model Min6. By using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, we implemented a high-throughput screening (HTS) strategy based on the automation of a cellular assay allowing the detection of insulin secretion in response to glucose, i.e., the quantitative detection of insulin, in a miniaturized system. As a proof of concept, we screened siRNA targeting well-know β-cell genes and 1600 chemical compounds and identified several molecules as potential regulators of insulin secretion and/or synthesis, demonstrating that our approach allows HTS of insulin secretion in vitro.
