Giardiasis and other protozoan infections are major worldwide causes of morbidity and mortality, yet development of new antimicrobial agents with improved efficacy and ability to override increasingly common drug resistance remains a major challenge. Antimicrobial drug development typically proceeds by broad functional screens of large chemical libraries or hypothesis-driven exploration of single microbial targets, but both strategies have challenges that have limited the introduction of new antimicrobials. Here, we describe an alternative drug development strategy that identifies a sufficient but manageable number of promising targets, while reducing the risk of pursuing targets of unproven value. The strategy is based on defining and exploiting the incompletely understood adduction targets of 5-nitroimidazoles, which are proven antimicrobials against a wide range of anaerobic protozoan and bacterial pathogens. Comprehensive adductome analysis by modified click chemistry and multidimensional proteomics were applied to the model pathogen Giardia lamblia to identify dozens of adducted protein targets common to both 5’-nitroimidazole-sensitive and-resistant cells. The list was highly enriched for known targets in G. lamblia, including arginine deiminase, α-tubulin, carbamate kinase, and heat shock protein 90, demonstrating the utility of the approach. Importantly, over twenty potential novel drug targets were identified. Inhibitors of two representative new targets, NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase and peroxiredoxin, were found to have significant antigiardial activity. Furthermore, all the identified targets remained available in resistant cells, since giardicidal activity of the respective inhibitors was not impacted by resistance to 5’-nitroimidazoles. These results demonstrate that the combined use of click chemistry and proteomics has the potential to reveal alternative drug targets for overcoming antimicrobial drug resistance in protozoan parasites.

We previously found the total saponins from the medicinal herb Aralia elata, which exhibited strong anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects. calenduloside E (CE) is one of the major triterpenoid saponin compounds isolated from these total saponins. However, the endothelial protection effect and the probable protein targets of CE have not been fully characterized. In the present study, a biotin-conjugated CE analogue (BCEA) was employed as a molecular probe to research and analyse its protein targets and signaling pathways. Compared with its parental compound CE, BCEA exhibited a similar protective effect against ox-LDL induced HUVEC damage. A chemical proteomic approach identified 128 proteins that related to the cell survival signaling pathways as the targets for BCEA. Meanwhile some of these cell survival signaling pathways that showed a higher P-value in KEGG pathway analysis were associated with anti-apoptotic activity. Moreover, further evaluation with flow cytometry, JC-1 staining assays and cleaved caspase-3 activity confirmed the anti-apoptotic effect of BCEA. Taken together, these results suggested that CE can improve cell viability most likely through anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and provided the basis for the further optimization of the endothelial protection compounds.

A new and efficient method focusing on probe-modified peptides was developed to identify the target protein and modification site of a hit compound or a drug. This method exhibited high click conjugation efficiency and few false-positive results. The modification site further facilitated target validation, biological mechanism study and new indications exploration.

Cathepsin L is a key host cysteine protease utilized by coronaviruses for cell entry and is a promising drug target for novel antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. The marine natural product gallinamide A and several synthetic analogues were identified as potent inhibitors of cathepsin L with IC50 values in the picomolar range. Lead molecules possessed selectivity over other cathepsins and alternative host proteases involved in viral entry. Gallinamide A directly interacted with cathepsin L in cells and, together with two lead analogues, potently inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro, with EC50 values in the nanomolar range. Reduced antiviral activity was observed in cells overexpressing transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2); however, a synergistic improvement in antiviral activity was achieved when combined with a TMPRSS2 inhibitor. These data highlight the potential of cathepsin L as a COVID-19 drug target as well as the likely need to inhibit multiple routes of viral entry to achieve efficacy.

The regio-isomeric alkynyl-substituted derivatives, 2 and 3, of the RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) transcription inhibitor CX-5461 (1) were prepared and the active one (compound 3) subjected to click reactions ([3 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions) with certain alkyl azides bearing biotin or fluorescent tags. Compounds 2 and 3, as well as four [3 + 2]-cycloadducts of the latter, were subjected to biological evaluation in a human acute myeloid leukemia cell line model. Among the six compounds tested only alkyne 3 remained active but this was less potent than parent 1.

A naturally occurring homoisoflavonoid, cremastranone (1) inhibited angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We developed an analogue SH-11037 (2) which is more potent than cremastranone in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRECs) and blocks neovascularization in animal models. Despite their efficacy, the mechanism of these compounds is not yet fully known. In the course of building on a strong foundation of SAR and creating a novel chemical tool for target identification of homoisoflavonoid-binding proteins, various types of photoaffinity probes were designed and synthesized in which benzophenone and biotin were attached to homoisoflavanonoids using PEG linkers on either the C-3′ or C-7 position. Notably, the photoaffinity probes linking on the phenol group of the C-3′ position retain excellent activity of inhibiting retinal endothelial cell proliferation with up to 72?nM of GI50.
