De Novo Design of Bioactive Small Molecules by Artificial Intelligence

Generative artificial intelligence offers a fresh view on molecular design. We present the first-time prospective application of a deep learning model for designing new druglike compounds with desired activities. For this purpose, we trained a recurrent neural network to capture the constitution of a large set of known bioactive compounds represented as SMILES strings. By transfer learning, this general model was fine-tuned on recognizing retinoid X and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists. We synthesized five top-ranking compounds designed by the generative model. Four of the compounds revealed nanomolar to low-micromolar receptor modulatory activity in cell-based assays. Apparently, the computational model intrinsically captured relevant chemical and biological knowledge without the need for explicit rules. The results of this study advocate generative artificial intelligence for prospective de novo molecular design, and demonstrate the potential of these methods for future medicinal chemistry.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been a serious public health burden worldwide. Current anti-HBV therapies could not eliminate HBV ultimately. Considering the characteristics of HBV, it is impossible to be entirely cured based on current therapies. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop novel therapeutic agents with new mechanism of action. The dihydroquinolizinone (DHQ) derivatives exhibited potent anti-HBV activity by decreasing HBV DNA and HBsAg level in an obscure mechanism of action. In this study, we have optimized the DHQ scaffold, developed the photoaffinity probe, with which to identify potential binding proteins.

5,6,7-Trimethoxy flavonoid salicylate derivatives were designed by the joining of three important pharmacophores (TMP, flavonoid, and SA) according to the combination principle. A series of novel trimethoxy flavonoid salicylate derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro anti-tumor activities were evaluated. Among these derivatives, compound 7f exhibited excellent antiproliferative activity against HGC-27 cells and MGC-803 cells with IC50 values of 10.26 ± 6.94 μM and 17.17 ± 3.03 μM, respectively. Subsequently, the effects on cell colony formation (clonogenic survival assay), cell migration (wound healing assay), cell cycle distribution (PI staining assay), cell apoptosis (Hoechst 33258 staining assay and annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining assay), lactate level (lactate measurement), microtubules disarrangement (immunofluorescence staining analysis) and docking posture (molecular docking simulation) were determined. Further western blot analysis confirmed that compound 7f could effectively down-regulate the expression of glycolysis-related proteins HIF-1α, PFKM and PKM2 and tumor angiogenesis-related proteins VEGF. Overall, these studies suggested that compound 7f, as the representative compound of those, might be a promising candidate for the treatment of gastric cancer and deserved the further studies.

According to the pharmacophore combination principle, a set of new 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy flavonoid salicylate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for biological activity. The cytotoxicity evaluation revealed that compound 10v exhibited higher potency than 5-Fu against HCT-116 cells. Preliminary biological activity studies showed that compound 10v could inhibit the colony formation and migration of HCT-116 cells. Besides, the Hoechst 33258 staining assay and flow cytometry revealed that treatment with compound 10v induced the apoptosis of HCT-116 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, while it had no effect on their cell cycle. The WB analysis suggested that HIF-1α, tubulin, HK-2, and PFK might be the potential pharmacophore targets of compound 10v. Tubulin was a potential drug target for compound 10v, which was explained by analyzing the crystal structure of compound 10v complexed with tubulin. These results indicated that compound 10v might be a promising anti-tumor agent candidate, deserving further optimization and evaluation.

Sophisticated multichannel tubular structures have long been utilized in biological systems. However, the well-controlled assembly of biomimetic materials utilizing these features still remains a challenge. Herein, we report an unexpected one-pot fabrication of biomimetic hierarchically porous metal-organic framework (MOF) tubular superstructures. This temperature-controlled structural evolution was investigated under solvothermal conditions: crystalline hollow MOF tubes can be obtained via self-templating and self-healing at higher temperatures, whereas hierarchical helical or multichannel tubular superstructures are fabricated through a helical or oriented evolution process at lower temperatures. Our work here presents the first example of tubular MOF superstructures and highlights the unexpected power of self-assembly and healing during structural evolution process. It has been widely observed in various scales that complex systems have a hierarchical or multilevel organization. For instance, hierarchical tubular structures are commonly adopted in natural systems, including bears and bamboo, as a result of long-term evolution, which can help enhance fluid transportation in plants, reduce the overall weight of animals, and prevent heat transfer. Our discovery here mimics the natural evolution and generates a series of hierarchically porous metal-organic framework (MOF) superstructures through self-templating, self-healing, and oriented evolution. This facile strategy provides fresh insights into MOF growth and oriented evolution mechanisms, enabling the state-of-the-art design of multichannel materials with promising applications in water harvesting and transport, multicomponent drug delivery, efficient catalysis, and fabrication of multichannel carbon rods for energy storage. Hierarchically porous superstructures have been successfully assembled from nanoporous MOF crystallites. Benefiting from the dynamic coordination bond formation, hierarchical helical or multichannel tubular superstructures can be accessed through oriented assembly of MOF crystallites. This temperature-controlled structural evolution also enables the formation of crystalline hollow MOF tubes via self-templating and self-healing processes. Further incorporation of multiple components into these frameworks provides a fresh route for preparing stable, multivariate, and hierarchical frameworks with accessible catalytically active sites for heterogeneous catalysis.
