    Abstract Pyridoxal kinase (PDXK) plays a pivotal role as an essential enzyme in cellular processes. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxine to generate pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the bioactive form of vitamin B6. An intriguing link has emerged between elevated expression levels of PDXK and PLP and various types of carcinomas, including leukemia. Leukemic cells have an increased need for vitamin B6 to sustain their survival and rapid growth, highlighting the potential of targeting PDXK-PLP as a promising therapeutic target in cancer treatment. To discover a novel and promising PDXK inhibitor, we conducted a comprehensive screening of compounds derived from both natural sources and drug-like databases. Our approach involved employing structure-based virtual screening and molecular docking techniques to attenuate the phosphorylation of PLP. Among the top six compounds, ZINC095099376 (referred to as C03) emerged as the most potent inhibitor of PDXK, primarily due to its exceptional binding affinity and remarkable specificity for the target protein. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that compound C03 establishes crucial interactions with key residues within the substrate binding site, indicating that it binds at the same site as the co-crystallized ligand. Remarkably, compound C03 inhibited the endogenous PDXK expression, showed anti-proliferative activity, and triggered an intrinsic pathway for apoptosis via the activation of key apoptotic factors in leukemic cells. In summary, these findings strongly indicate that compound C03 holds promise as a novel inhibitor of PDXK, offering the potential for the development of effective treatments for leukemia.

    Abstract Objectives: Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, is a leading cause of mortality in affected geographic areas. Currently, because no vaccine for schistosomiasis is available, control measures rely on widespread administration of the drug praziquantel (PZQ). The mass administration of PZQ has prompted concerns regarding the emergence of drug resistance. Therefore, new therapeutic targets and potential compounds are necessary to combat schistosomiasis.
    Methods: Twenty-four potent derivatives of PZQ were optimized via density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G∗ level. Quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) models were generated and statistically validated, and a lead candidate was selected to develop therapeutic options with improved efficacy against schistosomiasis. The biological and binding energies of the designed compounds were evaluated. In addition, molecular dynamics; drug-likeness; absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET); and DFT studies were performed on the newly designed compounds.
    Results: Five QSAR models were generated, among which model 1 had favorable validation parameters (R
    Conclusion: The proposed compounds exhibited potential drug characteristics, thus indicating their suitability for further investigation to enhance schistosomiasis treatment options.

    Abstract Coronavirus belongs to the coronaviridae family, having a single-stranded RNA as genetic material of 26-42 kb in size. The first coronavirus infection emerged in 2002, caused by SARS-CoV1. Since then, genome sequences and three-dimensional structures of crucial proteins and enzymes of the virus have been studied in detail. The novel coronavirus (nCoV) outbreak has caused the COVID19 pandemic, which is responsible for the deaths of millions of people worldwide. The nCoV was later renamed as SARS-CoV2. The details of most of the COV proteins are available at the atomic and molecular levels. The entire genome is made up of 12 open reading frames that code for 27 different proteins. The spike surface glycoprotein, the envelope protein, the nucleocapsid protein, and the membrane protein are the four structural proteins which are required for virus attachment, entrance, assembly, and pathogenicity. The remaining proteins encoded are called non-structural (NSPs) and support the survival of the virus. Several non-structural proteins are also validated targets for drug development against coronavirus and are being used for drug design purposes. To perform a comparative study, sequences and three-dimensional structures of four crucial viral enzymes, Mpro, PLpro, RdRp, and EndoU from SARS-CoV1 and SARS-CoV2 variants were analyzed. The key structural elements and ligands recognizing amino acid residues were found to be similar in enzymes from both strains. The significant sequences and structural resemblance also suggest that a drug developed either for SARS-CoV1 or SARS-CoV2 using these enzymes may also have the potential to cross-react.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Regucalcin (RGN) regulates intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis and the activity of several proteins involved in intracellular signaling pathways, which highlights its importance in cell biology. Regucalcin has cytoprotective effects reducing intracellular levels of oxidative stress, also playing a crucial role in the control of cell survival and apoptosis. In an effort to assess its gene regulation, we initially identified the expression of Regucalcin in rat lungs treated with hypoxia at various time points. Previously, HIF-1α expression was also reported to be upregulated in hypoxia. Interestingly hypoxic induced Regucalcin expression in a fashion similar to that of HIF-1α expression in rat lungs. Sequence analysis of the Regucalcin promoter region revealed the presence of putative HRE binding motifs. Further analysis of the 1 kb Regucalcin promoter region with 5′ deletion and point mutants of HRE binding motif showed that the HRE binding site was critical for high promoter activity. In addition, HIF-1α protein binds directly to the HRE binding motifs within the Regucalcin promoter in-vivo, and regulates Regucalcin gene expression. All together, these findings suggest that Regucalcin is the novel target gene of HIF-1α and that Regucalcin gene expression in hypoxia may be regulated by the control of HIF-1α expression.

    Abstract Protein kinases are the family of attractive enzyme targets for drug design with relevance to cancer biology. Serine arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) is responsible for the phosphorylation of serine/arginine (SR)-rich proteins. Alternative Splicing Factor/Splicing Factor 2 (ASF/SF2) involved in mRNA editing. ASF/SF2 is over expressed in many cancers and plays crucial roles in the cell survival. Phosphorylation of ASF/SF2 is decisive for its functions in cancer. In search of potential anticancer therapeutic agents for attenuating phosphorylation of ASF/SF2, we have explored specific and potential inhibitors of SRPK1 from natural and drug like compounds databases using

    Abstract Serine-arginine protein kinase-1 (SRPK1) is a highly specific kinase that recognizes serine-arginine dipeptide repeats and phosphorylates SR rich splicing factor ASF/SF2 in a cell-cycle regulated manner. SRPK1 processively phosphorylates serine residues on its substrate ASF/SF2. Elevated expression pattern of both SRPK1 and ASF/SF2 and their association with various carcinomas have established SRPK1 as a potent target for drug design against cancers. In order to develop specific inhibitors the binding of ASF/SF2 to SRPK1 is desired to be selectively interrupted. We have performed molecular dynamics simulation studies on crystal structure of SRPK1 complex with ASF/SF2. The ASF/SF2 acquired a stable binding on the surface of SRPK1 with strong attractive forces. Analysis revealed that there was no major position shifting of the core β-sheet region within the catalytic site of SRPK1 when present in the state of ASF/SF2 bound in comparison to apo form. Global motions of SRPK1 indicated that major stable structural changes occurred after the substrate binding. The interactions between SRPK1 and ASF/SF2 were examined and calculated during molecular dynamics simulation of 1 µs. Molecular dynamics study indicated Arg84, Lys85, Leu86, Lys174, Tyr227 and Leu479 residues of SRPK1 as essential hot spots involved in the stable binding with substrate. Structural analysis of the binding affinity and hot spot investigation provided significant information on ASF/SF2 binding which may also be considered for designing of the novel specific inhibitors of SRPK1 for the applications in cancer therapy.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
