The architecture of hydrogen and sulfur σ-hole interactions explain differences in the inhibitory potency of C-β-D-glucopyranosyl thiazoles, imidazoles and an N-β-D glucopyranosyl tetrazole for human liver glycogen phosphorylase and offer new insights to structure-based design
(2020)C-Glucopyranosyl imidazoles, thiazoles, and an N-glucopyranosyl tetrazole were assessed in vitro and ex vivo for their inhibitory efficiency against isoforms of glycogen phosphorylase (GP; a validated pharmacological target ... -
A data-driven hypothesis on the epigenetic dysregulation of host metabolism by SARS coronaviral infection: Potential implications for the SARS-CoV-2 modus operandi
(2020)COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2, a betacoronavirus structurally similar to SARS-CoV. Based on both structural and syndromic similarities with SARS-CoV, a hypothesis is formed on SARS-CoV-2 potential ... -
Design and Synthesis of Type-IV Inhibitors of BRAF Kinase That Block Dimerization and Overcome Paradoxical MEK/ERK Activation
(2019)Despite the clinical success of BRAF inhibitors like vemurafenib in treating metastatic melanoma, resistance has emerged through "paradoxical MEK/ERK signaling" where transactivation of one protomer occurs as a result of ... -
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel C5-modified pyrimidine ribofuranonucleosides as potential antitumor or/and antiviral agents
(2020)Background: Nucleoside analogues are well-known antitumor, antiviral, and chemotherapeutic agents. Alterations on both their sugar and the heterocyclic parts may lead to significant changes in the spectrum of their biological ... -
High consistency of structure-based design and X-ray crystallography: Design, synthesis, kinetic evaluation and crystallographic binding mode determination of biphenyl-n-acyl-β-d-glucopyranosylamines as glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors
(2019)Structure-based design and synthesis of two biphenyl-N-acyl-β-D-glucopyranosylamine derivatives as well as their assessment as inhibitors of human liver glycogen phosphorylase (hlGPa, a pharmaceutical target for type 2 ... -
The Remarkable Evolutionary Plasticity of Coronaviruses by Mutation and Recombination: Insights for the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Future Evolutionary Paths of SARS-CoV-2
(2022)Coronaviruses (CoVs) constitute a large and diverse subfamily of positive-sense sin-gle-stranded RNA viruses. They are found in many mammals and birds and have great importance for the health of humans and farm animals. ... -
REPLACE: A strategy for iterative design of cyclin-binding groove inhibitors
(2006)We describe a drug-design strategy termed REPLACE (REplacement with Partial Ligand Alternatives through Computational Enrichment) in which nonpeptidic surrogates for specific determinants of known peptide ligands are ... -
Truncation and optimisation of peptide inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 2-cyclin A through structure-guided design
(2009)The cyclin-dependent kinase 2-cyclin A complex is an important regulator of the DNA-synthesis phase of the mammalian cell cycle, which is frequently deregulated in cancer. Rather than blocking the ATP-binding site of the ...
