Abstract Cellular senescence, a persistent state of cell cycle arrest, accumulates in aged organisms, contributes to tissue dysfunction, and drives age-related phenotypes. The clearance senescent cells is expected decrease chronic, low-grade inflammation improve repair capacity, thus attenuating the decline physical function organisms. However, selective effective different types has proven challenging. Herein, we developed prodrug strategy design new compound based on increased activity...

COVID-19 has become a global pandemic and there is an urgent call for developing drugs against the virus (SARS-CoV-2). The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 preferred target broad spectrum anti-coronavirus drug discovery. We studied anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity S. baicalensis its ingredients. found that ethanol extract major component, baicalein, inhibit 3CLpro in vitro with IC50's 8.52 µg/ml 0.39 µM, respectively. Both them replication Vero cells EC50's 0.74 2.9 While baicalein mainly...

Highly infiltrative and invasive glioma cells obscure the boundary between tumor normal brain tissue, making it extremely difficult to precisely diagnose completely remove. The combination of multimodal imaging with effective treatments guide surgery therapy accurately is desperately needed for in brain. Here, we report a biomimetic catalase-integrated-albumin phototheranostic nanoprobe (ICG/AuNR@BCNP) realize imaging, amplify phototherapy, after penetrating blood–brain barrier, accumulating...

Cancer progression and treatment-associated cellular stress impairs therapeutic outcome by inducing resistance. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for core events. Aberrant activation of sensors their downstream components to disrupt homeostasis have emerged as vital regulators tumor well response cancer therapy. Here, an orchestrated nanophotoinducer (ERsNP) results in specific ER-homing, induces hyperthermia mounting oxidative associated reactive oxygen species (ROS), provokes...

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic calls for rapid development of effective treatments. Although various drug repurpose approaches have been used to screen the FDA-approved drugs and candidates in clinical phases against SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus that causes this disease, no magic bullets found until now. In study, we directed message passing neural network first build a broad-spectrum anti-beta-coronavirus compound prediction model, which gave satisfactory predictions on newly reported active...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play crucial roles in cellular processes and hold promise as drug targets. However, the dynamic nature of IDPs remains poorly understood. Here, we construct a single-molecule electrical nanocircuit based on silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (SiNW-FETs) functionalize it with an individual c-Myc bHLH-LZ domain to enable label-free, situ, long-term measurements at level. We use device study interaction Max and/or small molecule inhibitors....

Abstract Deep generative models have advanced drug discovery but often generate compounds with limited structural novelty, providing constrained inspiration for medicinal chemists. To address this, we develop TransPharmer, a model that integrates ligand-based interpretable pharmacophore fingerprints pre-training transformer (GPT)-based framework de novo molecule generation. TransPharmer excels in unconditioned distribution learning, generation, and scaffold elaboration under pharmacophoric...

Intrinsically disordered proteins or intrinsically regions (IDPs) have gained much attention in recent years due to their vital roles biology and prevalence various human diseases. Although IDPs are perceived as attractive therapeutic targets, rational drug design targeting remains challenging because of conformational heterogeneity. Here, we propose a hierarchical computational strategy for IDP virtual screening (IDPDVS) applied it the discovery p53 transactivation domain I (TAD1) binding...

GPR40 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) whose endogenous ligands have recently been identified as medium- and long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs), it thought to play an important role in insulin release. Despite recent research efforts, much still remains unclear our understanding of its pharmacology, mainly because the receptor-ligand interaction has not analyzed directly. To study pharmacology more direct fashion, we developed flow cytometry-based binding assay. FLAG-tagged protein was...
