    Abstract The endeavors to pursue a robust multitask model to resolve intertask correlations have lasted for many years. A multitask deep neural network, as the most widely used multitask framework, however, experiences several issues such as inconsistent performance improvement over the independent model benchmark. The research aims to introduce an alternative framework by using the problem transformation methods. We build our multitask models essentially based on the stacking of a base regressor and classifier, where the multitarget predictions are realized from an additional training stage on the expanded molecular feature space. The model architecture is implemented on the QM9, Alchemy, and Tox21 datasets, by using a variety of baseline machine learning techniques. The resultant multitask performance shows 1 to 10% enhancement of forecasting precision, with the task prediction accuracy being consistently improved over the independent single-target models. The proposed method demonstrates a notable superiority in tackling the intertarget dependence and, moreover, a great potential to simulate a wide range of molecular properties under the transformation framework.

    Abstract The development of AI for fluorescent materials design is technologically demanding due to the issue of accurately forecasting fluorescent properties. Besides the huge efforts made in predicting the photoluminescent properties of organic dyes in terms of machine learning techniques, this article aims to introduce an adversarial generation paradigm for the rational design of fluorescent molecules. Molecular SMILES is employed as the input of a GRU based autoencoder, where the encoding and decoding of the string information are processed. A generative adversarial network is applied on the latent space with a generator to generate samples to mimic the latent space, and a discriminator to distinguish samples from the latent space. It is found that the excited state property distributions of generated molecules fully match those of the original samples, with the molecular synthesizability being accessible as well. Further screening of the generated samples delivers a remarkable luminescence efficiency of molecules epitomized by the significant oscillator strength and charge transfer characteristics, demonstrating the great potential of the adversarial model in enriching the fluorescent library.

    Abstract Adversarial generative models are becoming an essential tool in molecular design and discovery due to their efficiency in exploring the desired chemical space with the assistance of deep learning. In this article, we introduce an integrated framework by combining the modules of algorithmic synthesis, deep prediction, adversarial generation, and fine screening for the purpose of effective design of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules that can be used in the organic light-emitting diode devices. The retrosynthetic rules are employed to algorithmically synthesize the D-A complex based on the empirically defined donor and acceptor moieties, which is followed by the high-throughput labeling and prediction with the deep neural network. The new D-A molecules are subsequently generated via the adversarial autoencoder, with the excited-state property distributions perfectly matching those of the original samples. Fine screening of the generated molecules, including the spin-orbital coupling calculation and the excited-state optimization, is eventually implemented to select the qualified TADF candidates within the novel chemical space. Further investigation shows that the created structures fully mimic the original D-A samples by maintaining a significant charge transfer characteristic, a minimal adiabatic singlet-triplet gap, and a moderate spin-orbital coupling that are desirable for the delayed fluorescence.

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease, characterized by degenerative destruction of articular cartilage. Chondrocytes, the unique cell type in cartilage, mediate the metabolism of extracellular matrix (ECM), which is mainly constituted by aggrecan and type II collagen. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin 5 (ADAMTS5) is an aggrecanase responsible for the degradation of aggrecan in OA cartilage. CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ), a transcription factor in the C/EBP family, has been reported to mediate the expression of ADAMTS5. Our previous study showed that 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (TMF) could activate the Sirt1/FOXO3a signaling in OA chondrocytes. However, whether TMF protected against ECM degradation by down-regulating C/EBPβ expression was unknown. In this study, we found that aggrecan expression was down-regulated, and ADAMTS5 expression was up-regulated. Knockdown of C/EBPβ could up-regulate aggrecan expression and down-regulate ADAMTS5 expression in IL-1β-treated C28/I2 cells. TMF could compromise the effects of C/EBPβ on OA chondrocytes by activating the Sirt1/FOXO3a signaling. Conclusively, TMF exhibited protective activity against ECM degradation by mediating the Sirt1/FOXO3a/C/EBPβ pathway in OA chondrocytes.

    Abstract 7-Ketocholesterol (7KC) is one of the oxysterols produced by the auto-oxidation of cholesterol during the dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism which has been implicated in the pathological development of osteoporosis (OP). Oxiapoptophagy involving oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis can be induced by 7KC. However, whether 7KC produces negative effects on MC3T3-E1 cells by stimulating oxiapoptophagy is still unclear. In the current study, 7KC was found to significantly decrease the cell viability of MC3T3-E1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, 7KC decreased ALP staining and mineralization and down-regulated the protein expression of OPN and RUNX2, inhibiting osteogenic differentiation. 7KC significantly stimulated oxidation and induced autophagy and apoptosis in the cultured MC3T3-E1 cells. Pretreatment with the anti-oxidant acetylcysteine (NAC) could effectively decrease NOX4 and MDA production, enhance SOD activity, ameliorate the expression of autophagy-related factors, decrease apoptotic protein expression, and increase ALP, OPN, and RUNX2 expression, compromising 7KC-induced oxiapoptophagy and osteogenic differentiation inhibition in MC3T3-E1 cells. In summary, 7KC may induce oxiapoptophagy and inhibit osteogenic differentiation in the pathological development of OP.

    Abstract Diosmin is a famous natural flavonoid for treating chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins. Recently, extensive study has indicated that diosmin possesses diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetes, anti-cancer, anti-microorganism, liver protection, neuro-protection, cardiovascular protection, renoprotection, and retinal protection activities. Due to its low water solubility, diosmin is dramatically limited in clinical application. Expectedly, many potential strategies have been developed for improving its pharmacokinetic values and bioavailability. This health-benefiting compound has been explored as the major component of Daflon and micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF), which have been used in clinics to improve micro-circulation. However, no specific drug targets for diosmin are reported, although some potential factors have been involved in screening, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), IKKβ, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and aldose reductase (AR). More investigations on the underlying mechanisms of diosmin in mediating cellular processes with high specificity is still needed.

    Abstract Delphinidin (Del) and its glycosides are water-soluble pigments, belonging to a subgroup of flavonoids. They are health-promoting candidates for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical uses, as indicated by exhibiting antioxidation, anti-inflammation, antimicroorganism, antidiabetes, antiobesity, cardiovascular protection, neuroprotection, and anticancer properties. Glycosylation modification of Del is associated with increased stability and reduced biological activity. Del and its glycosides can be the alternative inhibitors of CBRs, ERα/β, EGFR, BCRP, and SGLT-1, and virtual docking indicates that the sugar moiety may not effectively interact with the active sites of the targets. Structure-based characteristics confer the multifunctional properties of Del and its glycosides. Because of their health-promoting effects, Del and its glycosides are promising and have been developed as potential pharmaceuticals. However, more investigation on the underlying mechanisms of Del and its glycosides in mediating cellular processes with high specificity are still needed. The research progression of Del and its glycosides over the last 10 years is comprehensively reviewed in this article.
