Abstract
Background: Hyperuricemia is closely related to the occurrence of gout, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, metabolic syndrome, etc. However, xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) can fundamentally solve the problem of excessive uric acid. Compared to single-target drugs, multi-target drugs are not prone to adverse reactions and exert a synergistic effect. Therefore, the discovery of new multi-target XOIs and their mechanism of therapeutic hyperuricemia are important to overcome adverse effects and resistance to currently available drugs.
Objective: The purpose of this paper is to obtain novel diazine derivatives as promising multi-target XOIs and discover the interaction mechanism for the better treatment of hyperuricemia.
Methods: Novel multi-target XOIs diazine derivatives, and their interaction mechanism have been obtained through QSAR, molecular docking, dynamics simulation, and network pharmacology. In addition, ADMET properties and synthetic accessibility of novel XOIs have been considered using ADMETLAB 2.0 and SwissADME.
Results: 24 novel diazine derivatives as potential multi-target XOIs lead compounds have been found through virtual screening of the PubChem database. Moreover, the most notable top five compounds are worthy of further developing as multi-target XOIs drugs. XDH, TBK1, DGAT1, MYC, CDKN1A, PPARD, PDE6C, and EIF4E are recommended as relevant targets of therapeutic hyperuricemia.
Conclusion: Through the combination of different methods, we have discovered five novel promising diazine derivatives as potential multi-target XOIs drugs. Meanwhile, eight targets have been found to be helpful in the research on therapeutic hyperuricemia. We expect this investigation will offer clear insights into the production of efficient XOIs drugs.
