A patent review of xanthine oxidase inhibitors (2021-present).

Expert Opin Ther Pat

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Structure-Based Drugs Design & Discovery of Ministry of Education, School of Pharmaceutical Engineering, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang, China.

Introduction: Xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzes the oxidation of both hypoxanthine and xanthine in the last two steps of the purine metabolic pathway, serving as a rate-limiting enzyme for uric acid production as well as a key target for the treatment of gout and other hyperuricemia-related conditions.

Areas Covered: This paper reviews XO inhibitors in patents from 2021 to the present. We summarize in detail the structural classes and characteristics, in vitro and in vivo biological results, and structure‒activity relationships of synthetic inhibitors, as well as the sources, specific structures, research methods, and biological activities of XO inhibitors from natural products.

Gallic Acid: A Potent Metabolite Targeting Shikimate Kinase in .

Metabolites

December 2024

Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, Taibah University, Al Madinah Al Munawarah 30001, Saudi Arabia.

is a highly multidrug-resistant pathogen resistant to almost all classes of antibiotics; new therapeutic strategies against this infectious agent are urgently needed. Shikimate kinase is an enzyme belonging to the shikimate pathway and has become a potential target for drug development. This work describes the search for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs and natural compounds, including gallic acid, that could be repurposed as selective shikimate kinase inhibitors by integrated computational and experimental approaches.

A Collection of Novel Antitumor Agents That Regulate Lipid Metabolism in the Tumor Microenvironment.

J Med Chem

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Structure-Based Drug Design and Discovery, Ministry of Education, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang 110016, P.R. China.

Lipid metabolism disorder is the cause of one of the most significant metabolic changes in tumors. In the process of tumor occurrence and development, tumor cells choose a continuous metabolic adaptation to accommodate the changing environment to the maximum extent possible. In a variety of tumors, the uptake, production, and storage of lipids are generally upregulated.

FDA-approved drugs as PIM-1 kinase inhibitors: A drug repurposed approach for cancer therapy.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi 110025, India. Electronic address:

PIM-1 kinase, a member of the Serine/Threonine kinase family, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in various cancers due to its role in promoting tumor growth and resistance to conventional therapies. In this study, we employed a structure-based approach to screen 3800 FDA-approved drugs to discover potential inhibitors of PIM-1 after an initial selection of 50 candidates based on high docking scores. Four drugs, stanozolol, alfaxalone, rifaximin, and telmisartan, were identified as strong PIM-1 binders, interacting with key residues in the ATP-binding pocket of the kinase.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming drug discovery by overcoming traditional challenges like high costs, time-consuming, and frequent failures. AI-driven approaches streamline key phases, including target identification, lead optimization, de novo drug design, and drug repurposing. Frameworks such as deep neural networks (DNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) models have shown promise in identifying drug targets, optimizing delivery systems, and accelerating drug repurposing.
