Drug Repurposing for Identification of Potential Inhibitors Against SARS-Cov-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain: an in Silico Approach
Indian J Med Res 153, January & February 2021, pp 132-143 Quick Response Code: DOI: 10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_1132_20 Drug repurposing for identification of potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain: An in silico approach Santosh Kumar Behera1, Namita Mahapatra1, Chandra Sekhar Tripathy1 & Sanghamitra Pati2 1Health Informatics Centre, 2ICMR-Regional Medical Research Centre, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India Received April 10, 2020 Background & objectives: The world is currently under the threat of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, caused by SARS-CoV-2. The objective of the present investigation was to repurpose the drugs with potential antiviral activity against receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein among 56 commercially available drugs. Therefore, an integrative computational approach, using molecular docking, quantum chemical calculation and molecular dynamics, was performed to unzip the effective drug-target interactions between RBD and 56 commercially available drugs. Methods: The present in silico approach was based on information of drugs and experimentally derived crystal structure of RBD of SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Molecular docking analysis was performed for RBD against all 56 reported drugs using AutoDock 4.2 tool to screen the drugs with better potential antiviral activity which were further analysed by other computational tools for repurposing potential drug or drugs for COVID-19 therapeutics. Results: Drugs such as chalcone, grazoprevir, enzaplatovir, dolutegravir, daclatasvir, tideglusib, presatovir, remdesivir and simeprevir were predicted to be potentially effective antiviral drugs against RBD and could have good COVID-19 therapeutic efficacy. Simeprevir displayed the highest binding affinity and reactivity against RBD with the values of −8.52 kcal/mol (binding energy) and 9.254 kcal/mol (band energy gap) among all the 56 drugs under investigation. -

Pharmaceutical Targeting the Envelope Protein of SARS-Cov-2: the Screening for Inhibitors in Approved Drugs
Pharmaceutical Targeting the Envelope Protein of SARS-CoV-2: the Screening for Inhibitors in Approved Drugs Anatoly Chernyshev XR Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Cambridge, New Zealand email: [email protected] Abstract An essential overview of the biological role of coronavirus viroporin (envelope protein) is given, together with the effect of its known inhibitors on the life cycle of coronavirus. A docking study is conducted using a set of known drugs approved worldwide (ca. 6000 compounds) on a structure of the SARS-CoV-2 viroporin modelled from the published NMR-resolved structures. The screening has identified 36 promising drugs currently on the market, which could be proposed for pre-clinical trials. Introduction Viral ion channels (viroporins) are known since at least 1992, when the M2 channel of influenza A virus has been discovered. These ion channels exist in a form of homotetra- (e.g. the M2 channel) or homopentamers (e.g. coronavirus E channel); each subunit is 50–120 aminoacids long and has at least one transmembrane domain (TMD). The pore formed by the transmembrane domains of the oligomer acts as an ion channel. It is speculated that viroporins initiate a leakage in host cell membranes, which alters the tans-membrane potential and serves as a marker of viral infection [1]. SARS coronaviruses were found to have at least three types of ion channels: E and 8a (both with single TMD, forming pentameric assemblies), and 3a with three TMD [2, 3]. Both proteins E and 3a possess PDZ domain- binding motif (PBM). In the protein E it is the last four aminoacids in the C-terminus (DLLV, Table 1). -

As we know, the infections due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) began to plague in December 2019 in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, People's Republic of China. The disease was caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection which was later known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in early 2020 began to spread to several countries and eventually spread to almost all countries in the world. On March 11, 2020, WHO announced COVID-19 as a global pandemic. In Indonesia, the first case was officially announced on March 2, 2020. Considering that the spread of COVID-19 has been widespread and has an impact on social, economic, defense, and public welfare aspects in Indonesia, the President of the Republic of Indonesia established the Task Force for the Acceleration of COVID- 19 Handling aiming to increase readiness and ability to prevent, detect and respond to COVID-19. -

Cysteine Cathepsin Proteases: Regulators of Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Response
REVIEWS Cysteine cathepsin proteases: regulators of cancer progression and therapeutic response Oakley C. Olson1,2 and Johanna A. Joyce1,3,4 Abstract | Cysteine cathepsin protease activity is frequently dysregulated in the context of neoplastic transformation. Increased activity and aberrant localization of proteases within the tumour microenvironment have a potent role in driving cancer progression, proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Recent studies have also uncovered functions for cathepsins in the suppression of the response to therapeutic intervention in various malignancies. However, cathepsins can be either tumour promoting or tumour suppressive depending on the context, which emphasizes the importance of rigorous in vivo analyses to ascertain function. Here, we review the basic research and clinical findings that underlie the roles of cathepsins in cancer, and provide a roadmap for the rational integration of cathepsin-targeting agents into clinical treatment.

Their expression is misregulated in a wide variety of tumors, and ample data prove their involvement in cancer progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and in the occurrence of drug resistance. However, while their overexpression is usually associated with highly aggressive tumor phenotypes, their mechanistic role in cancer progression is still to be determined to develop new therapeutic strategies. In this review, we highlight the literature related to the role of the cysteine cathepsins in cancer biology, with particular emphasis on their input into tumor biology. Keywords: cysteine cathepsins; cancer progression; drug resistance 1. Introduction Cathepsins are lysosomal proteases and, according to their active site, they can be classified into cysteine, aspartate, and serine cathepsins [1]. -

Simeprevir Unexpectedly, our current work discovered that Simeprevir effectively promoted the transcription of IFN-β and ZIKV ISG15, inhibited the infection of host cells by multiple viruses including Zika virus (ZIKV), Enterovirus A71 (EV- EV-A71 A71), as well as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). However, the inhibitory effects of Simeprevir on ZIKV, EV- HSV-1 A71 and HSV-1 were independent from IFN-β and ISG15. This study thus demonstrates that the application of IFN-β Simeprevir can be extended to other viruses besides HCV. ISG15 Treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been significantly kilobase, positive-sense RNA genome (Sirohi and Kuhn, 2017). ZIKV improved with the development of direct-acting antiviral agents infection causes neurological complications, microcephaly in fetus, and (DAAs).
