RESUMO
In this study, we aimed to identify novel compounds that could afford protection against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by employing both cell- and zebrafish (Danio rerio)-based screening platforms. We screened 923 US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to identify potential compounds exhibiting protective effects against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells (auditory hair cell line). The screening strategy identified esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole as the primary hit compounds. Subsequently, we examined the effects of these compounds on cell viability and apoptosis. Our results revealed that esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole inhibited organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), thus providing in vitro evidence that these compounds could ameliorate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by directly inhibiting OCT2-mediated cisplatin transport. In vivo, the protective effects were validated using zebrafish; esomeprazole was found to decrease cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in neuromasts. Furthermore, the esomeprazole-treated group showed a significantly lower number of TUNEL-positive cells than the cisplatin-treated group. Collectively, our findings revealed that esomeprazole exerts a protective effect against cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in both HEI-OC1 cells and a zebrafish model.

To obtain selective and potent inhibitor for T-type calcium channel by ligand based drug design, 4-piperidinecarboxylate and 4-piperidinecyanide derivatives were prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo activity against α(1G) calcium channel. Among them, several compounds showed good T-type calcium channel inhibitory activity and minimal off-target activity over hERG channel (% inhibition at 10 µM=61.85-71.99, hERG channel IC(50)=1.57 ± 0.14-4.98 ± 0.36 µM). Selected compound 31a was evaluated on SNL model of neuropathic pain and showed inhibitory effect on mechanical allodynia.
