Central nervous system (CNS) drug development is plagued by high clinical failure rate. Phenotypic assays promote translation of drugs reducing complex brain diseases to measurable, clinically valid phenotypes. We critique recent platforms integrating patient-derived cells, which most accurately recapitulate CNS disease phenotypes, with higher throughput models, including immortalized balance validity and scalability. These were screened conventional commercial chemogenomic compound libraries. explore emerging library curation strategies improve hit rate quality, screening novel fragment libraries as alternatives, for more tractable target deconvolution. The relevant models used in these could harbor important, unidentified targets, so we review evolving agnostic deconvolution approaches, chemical proteomics artificial intelligence (AI), aid phenotypic mechanism elucidation, thereby facilitating rational hit-to-drug optimization.

Multifunctional molecules might offer better treatment of complex multifactorial neurological diseases. Monoaminergic pathways dysregulation and neuroinflammation are common convergence points in diverse neurodegenerative neuropsychiatric disorders. Aiming to target these diseases, polypharmacological agents modulating both monoaminergic neuroinflammatory were addressed. A library analogues the natural product hispidol was prepared evaluated for inhibition monoamine oxidases (MAOs) isoforms. Several emerged as selective potential MAO B inhibitors.

Stress during adolescence is a major risk factor for schizophrenia. We have found previously in rats that adolescent stress caused, adulthood, behavioral changes and enhanced ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine system activity, which were associated with dysregulation of the excitatory-inhibitory (E/I) balance hippocampus (vHip). Levetiracetam, an anticonvulsant drug, regulates release neurotransmitters, including glutamate, via SV2A inhibition. It also modulates parvalbumin interneuron activity Kv3.1 channels. Therefore, levetiracetam could ameliorate deficits E/I balance. tested whether attenuate stress-induced changes, vHip hyperactivity, VTA adult rats.Male Sprague-Dawley subjected to combination daily footshock (postnatal day [PD] 31-40), three 1 h-restraint sessions (at PD31, 32, 40). In adulthood (PD62), animals anxiety responses (elevated plus-maze light-dark box), social interaction, cognitive function (novel object recognition test). The pyramidal neurons was recorded.Adolescent produced anxiety-like impaired sociability function. Levetiracetam (10 mg/kg) reversed these changes. increased neuron population firing rate induced by stress.These findings suggest attenuates adverse outcomes schizophrenia caused adolescence.

Abstract: Different diseases can be treated with various therapeutic agents. Drug discovery aims to find potential molecules for existing and emerging diseases. However, factors, such as increasing development cost, generic competition due the patent expiry of several drugs, increase in conservative regulatory policies, insufficient breakthrough innovations impairs new drugs learning productivity pharmaceutical industries. repurposing is process finding applications already approved, withdrawn from use, abandoned, experimental drugs. another method that may partially overcome hurdles related drug hence appears a wise attempt. being not standard process, leads administrative concerns problems. The also requires expensive, high-risk clinical trials establish safety efficacy repurposed drug. Recent field bioinformatics accelerate studies by identifying targets along candidate screening refinement. advancements comprehensive high throughput data genomics, epigenetics, chromosome architecture, transcriptomic, proteomics, metabolomics contribute understanding molecular mechanisms involved drug-target interaction. present review describes current scenario application bioinformatic tools identification

Deciphering the molecular pathways associated with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) hypofunction and its interaction antipsychotics is necessary to advance our understanding of basis schizophrenia, as well capacity treat this disease. In regard, development human brain-derived models that are amenable studying neurobiology schizophrenia may contribute filling gaps left by widely employed animal models. Here, we assessed proteomic changes induced NMDA glutamate antagonist MK-801 on brain slice cultures obtained from adult donors submitted respective neurosurgery. Initially, demonstrated diminishes signaling in slices culture. Next, using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics systems biology silico analyses, found led alterations proteins related several previously pathophysiology, including ephrin, opioid, melatonin, sirtuin signaling, interleukin 8, endocannabinoid, synaptic vesicle cycle. We also evaluated impact both typical atypical MK-801-induced proteome changes. Interestingly, antipsychotic clozapine showed a more significant counteract protein NMDAr than haloperidol. Finally, dataset, identified potential modulators changes, which be considered promising targets schizophrenia. This dataset publicly available helpful further studies aimed at evaluating effects brain.
