Scaffold hopping refers to computer-aided screening for active compounds with different structures against the same receptor to enrich privileged scaffolds, which is a topic of high interest in organic and medicinal chemistry. However, most approaches cannot efficiently predict the potency level of candidates after scaffold hopping. Herein, we identified potent PDE5 inhibitors with a novel scaffold via a free energy perturbation (FEP)-guided scaffold-hopping strategy, and FEP shows great advantages to precisely predict the theoretical binding potencies ΔG _FEP between ligands and their target, which were more consistent with the experimental binding potencies ΔG _EXP (the mean absolute deviations | Δ G FEP - Δ G EXP |  < 2 kcal/mol) than those ΔG _MM-PBSA or ΔG _MM-GBSA predicted by the MM-PBSA or MM-GBSA method. Lead L12 had an IC₅₀ of 8.7 nmol/L and exhibited a different binding pattern in its crystal structure with PDE5 from the famous starting drug tadalafil. Our work provides the first report via the FEP-guided scaffold hopping strategy for potent inhibitor discovery with a novel scaffold, implying that it will have a variety of future applications in rational molecular design and drug discovery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of patients with human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) viral encephalitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics, diagnosis and treatment process and outcome of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The clinical features of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT included fever, headache, vomiting, apathy, etc., without specific symptoms or signs. The conventional white blood cell count in the cerebrospinal fluid was normal or slightly higher, mainly lymphocytes, and the cerebrospinal fluid protein was normal or slightly higher. The HHV-7 virus DNA in cerebrospinal fluid was positive, and the treatment with ganciclovir or foscarnet was effective. The prognosis was favorable in two mild cases, but one case with cerebral hemorrhage died eventually.Conclusions:HHV-7 viral encephalitis is a rare infection after allo-HSCT, and it can be easily misdiagnosed due to lack of typical symptoms and indications for routine laboratory tests. The detection of HHV-7 DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid can help confirm the diagnosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment programs, but ganciclovir and foscarnet are effective.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of haplotype hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HIDT) and sibling matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSDT) in the treatment of complete remission (CR) acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) .Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 98 patients who underwent HSCT in Hebei Yanda Ludaopei hospital with HID ( n=81) or ISD ( n=17) between May 2012 and May 2016. Results:The incidence of grades 2-4 and 3-4 acute-versus-host disease 100 days after HSCT were 51.9% (95% Confidence interval [ CI] 42.0%-64.0%) vs 29.4% (95% CI 14.1%-61.4%) ( P=0.072) and 9.8% (95% CI 5.1%-19.1%) vs 11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=1.000) for HIDT and MSDT. The 100-day cumulative incidences of CMV and EBV viremia were 53.1% (95% CI 43.3%-65.2%) vs 29.4% (95% CI 14.1%-61.4%) ( P=0.115) and 35.8% (95% CI 26.8%-47.9%) vs11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=0.048) . The 5-year overall survival, leukemia-free survival, cumulative incidences of relapse, and no-relapse mortality were 60.5% (95% CI 5.4%-49.0%) vs 68.8% (95% CI 11.8%-40.0%) ( P=0.315) , 58.0% (95% CI 5.5%-46.5%) vs 68.8% (95% CI 11.8%-40.0%) ( P=0.258) , 16.1% (95% CI 9.8%-26.4%) vs 11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=0.643) , 25.9% (95% CI 17.9%-37.5%) vs 19.4% (95% CI 6.9%-54.4%) ( P=0.386) for HIDT and MSDT, respectively. Conclusion:HID could be a valid alternative donor for patients with T-ALL in CR lacking an identical donor.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) treatment followed by a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who relapsed following the first HSCT.Methods:Retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 41 patients with B-cell ALL who received a second allo-HSCT from October 2015 to June 2020 in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital. After the first HSCT, all patients received CD19-CART, or CD22-CART treatment following a relapse of bone marrow morphology or extramedullary leukemia.Results:A total of 41 patients (male, 21; female, 20) were included in this study. The median age at the second HSCT was 16 (3-46) years. There were 31 cases of bone marrow recurrence (75.6%) , 5 cases of extramedullary recurrence (12.2%) , and 5 cases of bone marrow and extramedullary recurrences (12.2%) . After relapse, 35 patients (85.4%) received CD19-CART treatment, 2 patients received CD22-CART treatment (4.9%) , and 4 patients received CD19-CART and CD22-CART treatments (9.8%) . The expected 3-year overall survival (OS) , leukemia-free survival, cumulative relapse incidence, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) of patients after the second HSCT were 48.9% (95% CI 23.0%-70.6%) , 41.8% (95% CI 17.3%-64.9%) , 8.8% (95% CI 2.9%-26.4%) , and 51.1% (95% CI 31.2%-83.6%) , respectively. The 1-year OS of patients who relapsed ≤6 months and >6 months after the first HSCT were 45.0% (95% CI 12.7%-73.5%) and 75.0% (95% CI 51.4% -88.8%) ( P=0.017) , respectively. Conclusion:CART bridging in the second HSCT enables some B-cell ALL patients who relapsed after the first HSCT to achieve long-term survival. However, because of the high NRM, further modifications could help improve the outcome.

Optimization efforts were devoted to discover novel PDE10A inhibitors in order to improve solubility and pharmacokinetics properties for a long-term therapy against pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) starting from the previously synthesized inhibitor

Our recent studies demonstrated that the natural product nobiletin (NOB) served as a promising multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agent and improved the effectiveness of cancer chemotherapy . However, low aqueous solubility and difficulty in total synthesis limited its application as a therapeutic agent. To tackle these challenges, NOB was synthesized in a high yield by a concise route of six steps and fourteen derivatives were synthesized with remarkable solubility and efficacy. All the compounds showed improved sensitivity to paclitaxel (PTX) in P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpressing MDR cancer cells. Among them, compound exhibited water solubility 280-fold higher than NOB. A drug-resistance A549/T xenograft model showed that at a dose of 50 mg/kg co-administered with PTX (15 mg/kg), inhibited tumor growth more effective than NOB and remarkably increased PTX concentration in the tumors P-gp inhibition. Moreover, Western blot experiments revealed that inhibited expression of NRF2, phosphorylated ERK and AKT in MDR cancer cells, thus implying of multiple mechanisms to reverse MDR in lung cancer.

Objective:To study the clinical results and prognostic factors for allo-HSCT of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph +) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR) in the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) . Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of 116 patients with Ph +ALL who underwent allo-HSCT while in CR. Results:The study population included 72 men and 44 women. The median patient age was 20 years (4-64 years) . The patients received sibling-identical donor ( n=21) , haplo ( n=77) , and unrelated donor ( n=18) HSCT. The overall survival (OS) rate at 5 years was 73.2% (95% CI 63.8% -80.5% ) . In particular, the 5-year OS can reach 87.5% when the time from diagnosis to transplant is <180 days. The 5-years DFS was 61.4% (95% CI 51.8% -69.7% ) , the 5-year molecular and morphology cumulative relapse incidence was 18.5% (95% CI 12.6% -27.3% ) , and the 5-year TRM was 19.9% (95% CI 13.8% -28.7% ) . A multivariate analysis showed that an age range of 15-39 years ( HR=2.730, P=0.044) , time from diagnosis to HSCT ≥ 180 days ( HR=4.534, P=0.010) , and Ⅲ-Ⅳgrade aGVHD ( HR=7.558, P=0.000) were significantly associated with an inferior overall survival. Limited cGVHD subgroup had better OS ( HR=0.300, P=0.034) . Sex, WBC count at diagnosis, type of BCR-ABL fusion genes, somatic gene mutations, CR 1 or >CR 1, MRD negative or positive, conditioning regimen based on TBI or Bu, conditioning intensity, donor source, GVHD prophylactic proposal using cyclosporine or tacrolimus, presence/absence of CMV viremia, and presence/absence of EBV viremia were not significantly different in terms of the OS and DFS. Conclusion:Factors influencing the overall survival of Ph + ALL patients who underwent allo-HSCT in CR in the TKI era include age, time form diagnosis to HSCT, and aGVHD severity.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-human T lymphocyte porcine immunoglobulin (P-ATG) with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ:IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR∶Fc, Etanercept) on grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:Thirty-five patients with Grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD who received P-ATG with etanercept therapy after allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed. P-ATGs (5 mg·kg -1·d -1) were administrated for 3 to 5 days, and then 5mg/kg was sequentially administrated, QOD to BIW. Etanercepts were administrated 25 mg, twice a week (12.5 mg, BIW for pediatric patients) . Results:Among the 35 patients with grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD, 21 were males and 14 females, with a median age of 10 (3-54) years. A total of 19 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, 13 of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 1 of severe aplastic anemia, 1 of myelodysplastic syndrome, and 1 of mixed phenotypic acute leukemia were noted. The overall response (OR) rate of P-ATG with etanercept was 85.7% (30/35) , with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates of 34.3% (12/35) and 51.4% (18/35) , respectively, on day 28. The OR rate of grade Ⅲ aGVHD group was higher than of grade IV aGVHD group [100% (19/19) vs. 68.8% (11/16) , P=0.004]. On day 56, the OR rate became 77.2% (27/35) , with CR and PR rates of 62.9% (22/35) and 14.3% (5/35) , respectively. The OR rate of grade Ⅲ aGVHD group was also higher than of grade Ⅳ aGVHD group [89.5% (17/19) vs. 62.5% (10/16) , P=0.009]. Thirty-five patients had no adverse effects such as fever, chills, and rash during the P-ATG infusion, and no obvious liver and kidney function damage was observed after treatment. The main treatment-related complication was infection. The reactivation rates of CMV and EBV were 77.1% (27/35) and 22.9% (8/35) , respectively, and the bacterial infection rate was 48.6% (17/35) . With a median follow-up time of 13 (1-55) months after HSCT, the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were (68.1±8.0) % and (64.3±8.4) % , respectively. The 1-year OS rate of grade Ⅲ aGVHD group was superior to grade Ⅳ aGVHD group [ (84.2±8.4) % vs. (47.6±13.1) % , χ2=3.38, P=0.05]. Conclusion:This study demonstrated that P-ATG with etanercept was effective and safe in treating grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD after allo-HSCT.

Objective:To evaluate the association of TP53 mutations with the clinical outcomes of Ph-negative B-ALL following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:Total 300 patients with Ph-negative B-ALL who underwent allo-HSCT at the Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital from May 2012 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed; their clinical characteristics, TP53 gene mutation type, and association between TP53 mutations and transplantation outcomes, including leukemia-free survival (LFS) , overall survival (OS) , non-relapse mortality (NRM) , relapse, and GVHD, were evaluated.Results:Total 23 patients had TP53 mutations; all the TP53 mutations affected P53’DNA-binding domain. The 5-year-LFS, OS, and RI were 34.8% and 62.3% ( P=0.001) , 41.9% and 65.1% ( P=0.020) , and 47.8% and 14.8% ( P=0.000) , respectively, for TP53 mutations and wild-type TP53 patients. However, there were no significant differences in NRM and GVHD. Multivariate analysis showed that TP53 mutations remained adverse prognostic factors for LFS, OS, and RI after allo-HSCT. Conclusion:Some patients with TP53 mutations can achieve long-term survival with allo-HSCT. TP53 mutations are adverse prognostic factors for Ph-negative B-ALL patients who undergo allo-HSCT.
