    Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is the guardian of ferroptosis, preventing unrestrained (phospho)lipid peroxidation by reducing phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH). However, the contribution of other phospholipid peroxidases in ferroptosis protection remains unclear. We show that cells lacking GPX4 still exhibit substantial PLOOH-reducing capacity, suggesting a contribution of alternative PLOOH peroxidases. By scrutinizing potential candidates, we found that although overexpression of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), a thiol-specific antioxidant enzyme with reported PLOOH-reducing activity, failed to prevent ferroptosis, its genetic loss sensitizes cancer cells to ferroptosis. Mechanistically, we uncover that PRDX6, beyond its known peroxidase activity, acts as a selenium-acceptor protein, facilitating intracellular selenium utilization and efficient selenium incorporation into selenoproteins, including GPX4. Its physiological significance was demonstrated by reduced GPX4 expression in Prdx6-deficient mouse brains and increased sensitivity to ferroptosis in PRDX6-deficient tumor xenografts in mice. Our study highlights PRDX6 as a critical player in directing cellular selenium utilization and dictating ferroptosis sensitivity.

    Nakaseomyces glabrata (Candida glabrata), the second most prevalent Candida pathogen globally, has emerged as a major clinical threat due to its ability to develop high-level azole resistance. In this study, two new 5,6-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives (c11 and c12) were synthesized and characterized using IR, LC-MS, 1H, and 13C NMR spectra. Along with 13 previously reported analogues, these compounds underwent in vitro antifungal testing against clinical N. glabrata isolates using a serial dilution method (0.125–64 mg/L). Remarkably, compounds c5 and c1 exhibited potent antifungal activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.37 μM and 0.47 μM, respectively—about a 20-fold improvement in μM concentration over standard drugs like amphotericin B, caspofungin, and micafungin. A detailed structure–activity relationship analysis revealed crucial molecular features enhancing antifungal potency. Extensive molecular docking studies across 18 protein targets explored potential binding pockets and affinities of the lead compounds. A robust 3D-QSAR model, incorporating molecular descriptors Mor26m and Mor29e, displayed good predictive ability for antifungal activity. In silico predictions indicated an absence of herbicidal effect, negligible environmental toxicity (to honeybees, avian species, and aquatic organisms), and mild human toxicity concerns for these compounds. This comprehensive approach aims to develop novel and effective antifungal compounds against the clinically relevant pathogen N. glabrata.

    高度で精密な生物機能の発現と調節の観点から、酸素・窒素と似て非なるイオウ・リンなどの第3周期以降の重ヘテロ元素を含む有機重ヘテロ元素化合物の触媒合成を基盤とした新しい化学領域を開拓した。安価なイオウ単体の直接利用法・塩基を使わない省エネルギー反応・可逆反応による有機重ヘテロ元素化合物の合成などの新しい合成方法論を提供した。加えて、一般に有機溶媒中で行われる遷移金属触媒反応を水中均一系で実施して、合成ペプチド・タンパク質の触媒的な化学修飾に展開した。これらの知見を基に酵素やタンパク質の動的挙動に着目して、生体親和性が高く柔軟な構造として2種の異なる複素環を1または3原子のヘテロ原子リンカーで連結した「非対称ビス複素環構造」を分子設計して、in vivoで活性を有する新しい医農薬剤の開発研究を実施した。このような医農薬剤開発のアプローチは世界的に見て例がなく先導的である。(著者抄録)
