This kind of model can be computationally intensive, which makes the usage of large-scale simulations difficult. To enable more efficient usage of the Huxley muscle model, we created a data-driven surrogate model, which behaves similarly to the original Huxley muscle model, but it requires significantly less computational power. From several numerical simulations, we acquired a lot of data and trained deep neural networks so that the behavior of the neural network resembles the behavior of the Huxley model. Since muscle models are history-dependent we used time series as an input and we trained a recurrent neural network to produce stress and instantaneous stiffness. The real challenge was to get the neural network to predict these values precisely enough for the numerical simulation to work properly and produce accurate results. In our work, we showed results obtained with the original Huxley model and surrogate Huxley model for several muscle twitch contractions. Based on similarities between the surrogate model and the original model we can conclude that the surrogate has the potential to replace the original model within numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89603082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it is well-known that platinum complexes express toxicity, numerous side effects and resistance, so the scientists make a lot of efforts to synthetize, beside Pt(II) and Pt(IV), other non-platinum compounds with potential antitumor activity, such as Pd(II), Ru(II/III) and Au(III) complexes. The goal of this study is to summarize the results of the investigation of the interactions between some mononuclear, homo- and hetero-polynuclear Pt(II), Pd(II), Ru(II/III) and Au(III) complexes with different sulfur- and nitrogen-donor biologically relevant nucleophiles. Among mononuclear complexes, the compounds with aromatic terpy (tepyridine) or bpma (bis-(2- pyridylmethyl)amine) and aliphatic dien (diethylentriamine) nitrogen-containing inert ligands were studied. Different homo- and hetero-polynuclear complexes with pz (pyrazine) or 4,4’-bipy (4,4’- bipyridine) as bridging and mostly en (ethylenediamine), bipy (2,2’-bipyridine) and dach (trans-1,2- diaminocyclohexane) as inert ligands were studied as well. The research was focused on the connection between the structure and the mechanisms of interactions with different biomolecules, such as L- cysteine (L-Cys), L-methionine (L-Met), tripeptide glutathione (GSH), guanosine-5’-monophosphate (5’-GMP), DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Some of these complexes were selected for in vitro studies of the cytotoxicity on different tumor cell lines.

This enzyme is often considered a molecular target for the development of novel high efficient drugs against prostate cancer. In the present work, the random forest algorithm was used to conduct a QSAR study on 370 CYP17A1 ligands with different structures that were collected from the literature and databases, and a QSAR model was created based on the five important descriptors screened out – 2D adjacency and distance matrix descriptors, 2D atom counts and bond counts and 3D surface area, volume and shape descriptors. The model was verified by the test set (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, F-measure, MCC, and AUC were calculated). It was revealed that the hydrophobic properties of the vdW surface of the ligand have a significant contribution to the activity prediction. The hydrophobic effect of the molecules may be aroused by the presence of the hydrophobic groups or aromatic rings in the molecules. The created QSAR model shows that the molecules with more aromatic rings have better activity. The accuracy of the model on the test set was 84%, precision – 81%, sensitivity – 93%, specificity – 72%, F-measure – 0.87, MCC – 0.67, AUC – 0.88.

Many chemotherapeutics are poorly water- soluble, so their encapsulation and targeted delivery remain quite challenge. Hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) are widely investigated for targeted drug delivery due to their pH sensitivity, non-toxicity and biocompatibility. Still, due to the PMAA highly hydrophilic nature, PMAA can only be used for encapsulation and targeted delivery of water-soluble drugs. Our previous research was directed towards overcoming this limitation: PMAA was modified with amphiphilic protein – casein and poorly-water soluble model drug – caffeine – was encapsulated (PMAC). Present study is focused on investigation how variation of amount of one of the most important hydrogels network parameter such as crosslinker affect PMAC swelling properties and caffeine release. The group of hybrid hydrogels – PMAC – was synthesized with various amount of crosslinker: 0.4mol%, 0.8mol%, 1.6mol% and 3.2mol% with respect to methacrylic acid. Swelling behavior of hybrid hydrogels and caffeine release was investigated in two environments which simulated human stomach and intestines. Obtained results showed that targeted delivery of poorly water-soluble model drug was achieved and that its release can be prolonged up to 24h. Also, kinetic of poorly water-soluble drug release can be easily modified only by changing crosslinker amount. PMAC hybrid hydrogels have huge potential for targeted delivery of poorly water-soluble active substances.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78083594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To imitate polar and non-polar environments, calculations are done in water and benzene as the medium. It is found that, among three possible radicals that TX can generate, the most stable is the one obtained by homolytic cleavage of the O-H group in position 4. It was found that HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) is the most plausible mechanism for that purpose in benzene. On the other hand, the most favorable mechanism in water is SPLET (Sequential Proton Loss Electron Transfer). Here is estimated the capacity of TX to deactivate hydroxyl (HO●), hydroperoxyl (HOO●) and methylperoxyl radical (CH3OO●). It is found that TX can deactivate all three free radicals following HAT and SPLET reaction mechanisms competitively, in the polar and non-polar environment.

Our research group has previously designed twenty novel thiourea derivatives of naproxen, containing amino acids (glycine, L-alanine, β-alanine, L-valine and L-phenylalanine – compounds 1,2,3,4 and 5, respectively), their methyl (6–10) and ethyl esters (11–15), as well as aromatic amines (16–20). Pharmacokinetic properties and druglikeness of these compounds were predicted using SwissADME web tool (http://www.swissadme.ch/). Predicted pharmacokinetic properties include potential for gastrointestinal absorption, blood-brain barrier permeability, skin permeability, transport mediated by P-glycoproteins and enzyme inhibitory potential. Druglikeness was evaluated using Lipinski’s, Ghose’s, Veber’s, Egan’s and Muegge’s rules, as well as on the basis of bioavailability score. All tested compounds had high-predicted gastrointestinal absorption and low blood-brain barrier permeability.
