    Abstract TRPA1 is a transmembrane cation channel, one of the most promising targets in the context of respiratory diseases. Its general structure has already been experimentally resolved, but the binding site of TRPA1 antagonists such as HC-030031, a model methylxanthine derivative, remains unknown. The present study aimed to determine the potential binding site of xanthine antagonists and to describe their binding mode, using a molecular modeling approach. This study represents the first attempt to bring together site-directed mutagenesis reports and the latest cryo-EM structure of an antagonist bound to TRPA1. Our research suggests that the core moiety of HC-030031 binds to a pocket formed by the TRP-like domain and the pre-S1, S4, S5 helices of one subunit. The structure, determined by cryo-EM, shows interactions of a core hypoxanthine moiety in the same area of the binding site, sharing the interaction of xanthine/hypoxanthine with Trp-711. Moreover, the predicted binding mode of HC-030031 assumes interaction with Asn-855, a residue demonstrated to be important for HC-030031 recognition in site-directed mutagenesis studies. Our model proved to be advantageous in a retrospective virtual screening benchmark; therefore, it will be useful in research on new TRPA1 antagonists among xanthine derivatives and their bioisosteres.

    Abstract 1. ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein, MDR1) is one of the most important transporter involved in cancer multi-drug resistance. It also plays a significant role in cancer resistance against anthracyclines, an anticancer group of drugs, including doxorubicin and daunorubicin. Several intracellular enzymes metabolise anthracyclines to carbonyl-reduced, hydroxy metabolites, which have impaired cytotoxic properties. However, metabolite efflux by ABCB1 transporter is not well characterised, while it may be the mechanism responsible for the metabolites' lack of activity.2. In this study recombinant ABCB1 ATPase transporter assay; anthracyclines accumulation assay in resistant cells overexpressing ABCB1; and molecular modelling were used to investigate anthracyclines: doxorubicin and daunorubicin and their carbonyl-reduced metabolites (doxorubicinol, daunorubicinol) susceptibility for ABCB1-dependent efflux.3. Based on the kinetics parameters of ATPase activity of ABCB1, it was found that daunorubicinol exerted an exceptionally high potential for being effluxed by the ABCB1 transporter. ABCB1 significantly affected the accumulation pattern of studied chemicals in resistant cancer cells. Doxorubicin and daunorubicinol accumulation were influenced by the activity of ABCB1 modulator - valspodar.4. Results indicate that ABCB1 activity affects not only anthracyclines but also their metabolites. Therefore crosstalk between the process of anthracyclines metabolism and metabolite efflux may be the mechanism of impairing anticancer properties of anthracyclines metabolites.

    Abstract μ-opioid receptor ligands such as morphine and fentanyl are the most known and potent painkillers. However, the severe side effects seen with their use significantly limit their widespread use. The continuous broadening of knowledge about the properties of the interactions of the MOP receptor (human mu opioid receptor, OP3) with ligands and specific intracellular signaling pathways allows for the designation of new directions of research with respect to compounds with analgesic effects in a mechanism different from classical ligands. Allosteric modulation is an extremely promising line of research. Compounds with modulator properties may provide a safer alternative to the currently used opioids. The aim of our research was to obtain a series of urea derivatives of 1-aryl-2-aminoimidazoline and to determine their activity, mechanism of biological action and selectivity toward the MOP receptor. The obtained compounds were subjected to functional tests (cAMP accumulation and β-arrestin recruitment) in vitro. One of the obtained compounds, when administered alone, did not show any biological activity, while when co-administered with DAMGO, it inhibited β-arrestin recruitment. These results indicate that this compound is a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of the human MOP receptor.

    Abstract Asthma and COPD are characterized by complex pathophysiology associated with chronic inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness resulting in airway remodeling. A possible comprehensive solution that could fully counteract the pathological processes of both diseases are rationally designed multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs), combining PDE4B and PDE8A inhibition with TRPA1 blockade. The aim of the study was to develop AutoML models to search for novel MTDL chemotypes blocking PDE4B, PDE8A, and TRPA1. Regression models were developed for each of the biological targets using "mljar-supervised". On their basis, virtual screenings of commercially available compounds derived from the ZINC15 database were performed. A common group of compounds placed within the top results was selected as potential novel chemotypes of multifunctional ligands. This study represents the first attempt to discover the potential MTDLs inhibiting three biological targets. The obtained results prove the usefulness of AutoML methodology in the identification of hits from the big compound databases.

    Abstract Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia may coexist in psychiatric patients. Moreover, these disorders are very often associated with cognitive impairments. However, pharmacotherapy of these conditions remains challenging due to limited drug effectiveness or numerous side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel multimodal compounds that can be used to treat depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, as well as memory deficits. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the potential antidepressant-like, anxiolytic-like, antipsychotic-like effects, and anti-amnesic properties, of the novel arylpiperazine derivative of salicylamide, JJGW07, with an affinity towards serotonin 5-HT

    Abstract Anthracycline antibiotics (ANT) are among the most widely used anticancer drugs. Unfortunately, their use is limited due to the development of drug resistance and cardiotoxicity. ANT metabolism, performed mainly by two enzymes-aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) and carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1)-is one of the proposed mechanisms generated by the described effects. In this study, we evaluated the CBR1 inhibitory properties of ASP9521, a compound already known as potent AKR1C3 inhibitor. First, we assessed the possibility of ASP9521 binding to the CBR1 catalytic site using molecular docking and molecular dynamics. The research revealed a potential binding mode of ASP9521. Moderate inhibitory activity against CBR1 was observed in studies with recombinant enzymes. Finally, we examined whether ASP9521 can improve the cytotoxic activity of daunorubicin against human lung carcinoma cell line A549 and assessed the cardioprotective properties of ASP9521 in a rat cardiomyocytes model (H9c2) against doxorubicin- and daunorubicin-induced toxicity. The addition of ASP9521 ameliorated the cytotoxic activity of daunorubicin and protected rat cardiomyocytes from the cytotoxic effect of both applied drugs. Considering the favorable bioavailability and safety profile of ASP9521, the obtained results encourage further research. Inhibition of both AKR1C3 and CBR1 may be a promising method of overcoming ANT resistance and cardiotoxicity.

    Abstract Memory impairments constitute a significant problem worldwide, and the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased the prevalence of cognitive deficits. Patients with cognitive deficits, specifically memory disturbances, have underlying comorbid conditions such as schizophrenia, anxiety, or depression. Moreover, the available treatment options have unsatisfactory effectiveness. Therefore, there is a need to search for novel procognitive and anti-amnesic drugs with additional pharmacological activity. One of the important therapeutic targets involved in the modulation of learning and memory processes are serotonin receptors, including 5-HT

Yet, given the fact that salsolinol colocalizes with dopamine-rich regions and was first detected in the urine of Parkinson's disease patients, its direct role in the process of neurodegeneration has been proposed.
