This species is distributed from the Pyrenees, across most of Europe up to Japan (Naumann et al. 1999). In the literature containing the records of Zygaenidae in Croatia the species is commonly cited (Mann 1857, 1867, 1869; Vukotinović 1879; Bohatsch 1892; Koča 1901; Rebel 1904; Abafi-Aigner 1910; Mladinov 1958; Stauder 1921, 1932; Witt 1987; Šašić et al. 2016). However, the last record from Croatia dates from 1971 (Witt 1987). Accordingly, records present in this work are the first after almost 50 years. During this survey, the species was collected from four localities, within the known range in Croatia. As was stated by Naumann et al. (1999) R. pruni is missing from the Mediterranean region, which is true also for most of the coastal area of Croatia (Fig. 2). During this survey, the species was recorded on both dry and wet grasslands. The occurrence of the species on different biotopes is already known (Naumann et al. 1999). Caterpillars feed on Prunus spinosa and Calluna vulgaris (Bertaccini & Fiumi 1999). R. pruni can be regarded as rare and local in Croatia. An effort should be done in order to expand the known distribution and asses the status of the known populations.

Adscita statices

description: Adscita statices (Linnaeus, 1758)
Within Europe, two distinct subspecies of A. statices are known, A. statices statices distributed from Spain, most of central and eastern Europe to Siberia, Turkey all to China. The other subspecies, A. statices drenowskii is distributed in the Balkans and Turkey (Naumann et al. 1999). According to Šašić et al. (2016) specimens from Croatia belong to the subspecies A. statices statices which is in accordance with the material examined within this study. Literature records of this species are rather common (Kranjčev 1985; Mladinov 1958, 1976; Šašić et al. 2016). With this survey additional records are given but in overall the distribution in the country is rather well known (Fig. 3). As it is a rather common and widespread species, it is not connected to a specific habitat but rather inhabits different habitats including dry, sandy, calcareous habitats as well as wet meadows and marshes (Naumann et al. 1999). Still, almost all records from Croatia are connected to the montane habitats, while the species is usually missing from lowland areas. This may be a bias as most of the “good” lowland habitats disappeared from Croatia, which has also been reported in the butterfly diversity of the country (Koren et al. 2017). Still, A. statices can be regarded as one of the most common Procridinae species in the country.

This species is distributed from Spain and southern France across southern parts of central Europe, Italy, Balkans, Greece and Turkey (Naumann et al. 1999). While it has a moderately limited distribution in Europe, it is one of the most common Procridinae species in Croatia. Both historical and new records are quite common (Fig. 4) and the species can be recorded on different kind of grassland habitats across Croatia. Indeed, it is generally a very common and numerous species which can be collected in high numbers on some localities. This greatly differs from most Procridinae which were, at least during this study, collected only singularly on a given habitat. It is known to inhabit different habitats including dry meadows, rocky slopes as well as damp meadows (Naumann et al. 1999) up to 1700 m a.s.l. (Bertaccini & Fiumi 1999).

This species is distributed from the Iberian peninsula across central and southern Europe, Russia, Crimea and Turkey (Naumann et al. 1999). As was stated by Šašić et al. (2016), historical records of this species in Croatia are rather scarce. The only exact locality, Bosiljevo, was given by Šašić et al. (2016). Rebel (1904) mentions it only for Dalmatia, a larger coastal region of Croatia, while Stauder (1921) mentions it from the coastal areas of Istria and Dalmatia. During this survey the species was recorded on three localities with eight collected specimens (Fig. 5). These are the first recent records of A. geryon in Croatia after almost a century (Stauder 1921) and the first ones with precise localities and collection dates. All three localities (two of them being very close one to another) are located within Lička Plješevica montane range at the border with Bosnia & Herzegovina. This is a very diverse area in terms of butterfly diversity (Koren et al. 2020) and seemingly also for the Zygaenidae. This is a significant expanse of the known range in Croatia as the record from Bosiljevo is distanced about 140 km from Mt. Lička Plješevica. The discovered populations in Croatia are probably connected to the ones in Bosnia & Herzegovina. However, recent surveys on the Zygaenidae of the country are lacking so this cannot be proven.
A. geryion is also known from Bosnia and Herzegovina from where A. geryion orientalis (Alberti, 1938) has been described and the specimens from Croatia most probably belong to this subspecies. Such records have already been hypothesized in the recent work (Šašić et al., 2016) when it was stated that A. geryion orientalis was described from the Bosnian Mountains (Makljen pass) but must occur in more parts of the Dinaric Alps. This has now been confirmed with this survey. Habitats on which A. geryion was recorded are large montane grasslands, which were once used for cattle grazing but are nowadays mostly abandoned. As the species was collected in several different years, it seems that the population is present and possibly numerous. Even after this survey, A. geryon belongs to the rarest Procridinae species in Croatia and additional efforts should be taken in order to map its distribution and asses its conservation status. Additional surveys are needed on other high mountains of Croatia, especially Velebit and Dinara in order to additionally explore the distribution range of this species.

This species is distributed across western and central Europe up to Turkey and Transcaucasia (Naumann et al. 1999). In spite of the wide theoretical distribution, records from Croatia are rather scarce in the literature. Habeler (2008) was the first who recorded J. notata in Croatia from several localities across Krk island.Afterwards it was reported by Šašić et al. (2016) and Razov et al. (2017). During this survey, the species was recorded at seven localities, including the first records from the Alpine and Continental Croatia (Fig. 6). Still, the species can be regarded as scarce. The same is true for other countries like Montenegro where less than ten records exist so far (Jakšić & Nahirnić-Beshkova 2020).

description: Jordanita graeca (Jordan, 1907)
Jordanita graeca is a xerothermophilous species of Ponto-Mediterranean distribution. It inhabits dry grassy plains or slopes and steppe (Naumann et al. 1999). It is distributed from central Europe across the Balkan peninsula, southern Russia, Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Turkey, all to Armenia (Naumann et al. 1999). Historical records from Croatia are rather scarce (Habeler 1976; Witt 1987; Kranjčev 1985; Šašić et al. 2016). Of those, the records of Kranjčev (1985) from Podravina should be marked as questionable, as in its work, he does not mention the method in which he determined the correct specie’s identification and the record is far apart from other known localities for this species in Croatia (Fig. 7). Within this survey the species was recorded at five additional localities, all located in the wider coastal areas of the country. One specimen was recorded also on Korčula island and represents a new species for that island which was not recorded by Rauch (1981). While the species seems to be widely distributed all across coastal parts of Croatia, it cannot be regarded as common. Indeed, it has been recorded on karstic habitats, usually grasslands, which are nowadays under threat of succession and disappearance. According to Naumann et al. (1999) J. graeca is usually present on dry grassy plains or slopes with rocks or rocky soil, which is the exact description of the habitats in Croatia.

This species is distributed from southern France, Italy, Switzerland across southern,central and Eastern Europe all to northern Iraq and Kazakhstan (Naumann et al. 1999). Several historical records exist for this species in Croatia (Mann 1857; Abafy-Aigner et al. 1896; Rebel 1904, 1910; Schawerda 1920; Stauder 1921, 1932; Neustetter 1956; Carnelutti 1994; Habeler 2008; Šašić et al. 2016). However, the last record of this species in Croatia has been in 1973 (Šašić et al. 2016) so the records presented in this work are first records after 57 years. During this survey, the species has been recorded on three localities within two biogeographical regions (Fig. 8). According to Naumann et al. (1999) J. chloros inhabits dry grassy slopes and steppe biotopes. While only three specimens were recorded during this survey, it seems that the habitat in Croatia is also in accordance with the one from the literature.

This species has a wide distribution in Europe, from eastern Spain, across central, southern and eastern Europe all up to north-western Turkey Transcaucasia (Naumann et al. 1999). This is a common species widely recorded in the collections as well as the literature (e.g. Šašić et al. 2016). Historical records were missing from the southern parts of Croatia and this survey significantly expanded its distribution to cover almost whole Croatia (Fig. 9). This is one of the commonest species in the country, inhabiting different types of grasslands, including the ones with intensive mowing.

This species is distributed from southern Spain across the areas of southern parts of central Europe, Italy, Balkans, Greece up to Turkey and Transcaucasia (Naumann et al. 1999). Only several historical records exist for this species in Croatia (Abafy-Aigner et al. 1896; Abafi-Aigner 1910; Mladinov 1965; Rebel 1904, 1910, 1912; Stauder 1921, 1932; Šašić et al. 2016). During this survey, the known range of the species in Croatia has been significantly expanded and now includes parts of the Lika region and several localities within Nature park Žumberak and Nature park Medvednica in the Continental biogeographical region. During this survey, this species was recorded only on four localities indicating the rareness in the country (Fig. 10). It seems that the species is rather local in Croatia, but more widespread than previously known. It has been mostly observed in hilly or montane areas on dry calcareous grasslands. In overall, almost all new and historical records are from montane grasslands. Such habitats are still widespread in the country so it is most probable that the species will be recorded on additional localities in future surveys. According to Naumann et al. (1999) J. subsolana inhabits dry open grasslands which is in accordance with the observations from Croatia.

description: When designing new medications targeting HIV-1, drug designers concentrate on reverse transcriptase (RT), the central enzyme of their concern. This is due to its vital role in converting single-stranded RNA into double-stranded DNA throughout the life cycle of HIV-1. In recent reports, a series of newly discovered pyridone derivatives with biphenyl substitutions have emerged as highly potent HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), displaying impressive antiviral activity. To analyse the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) of pyridone inhibitors with biphenyl substitutions, we employed CoMFA and CoMSIA methods in this study. The dataset comprises a total of 51 compounds. The findings of this research demonstrate that both the CoMFA (q2=0.688, r2=0.976, rpred2=0.831) and CoMSIA/SHE (q2=0.758, r2=0.968, rpred2=0.828) models exhibit excellent predictive capability and reliable estimation stability. According to the findings of the model, we designed a collection of eleven molecules that exhibit the potential for significantly improved predictive activity. We proceeded to investigate the binding patterns of these compounds to receptor proteins utilizing the molecular docking technique. To ensure the reliability of the docking results, we went on to validate them by conducting molecular dynamics simulations and performing accurate calculations of the binding free energy. Moreover, based on initial ADMET predictions, the results consistently indicate that the newly created molecule possesses favourable pharmacokinetic properties. This study will help to facilitate the development of efficient novel inhibitors that specifically target HIV-1's non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (NNRTIs). Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Leishmaniasis is caused by ∼20 species of Leishmania that affects millions in endemic areas. Available therapies are not sufficient to effectively control the disease, cause severe side effects and eventually lead to drug resistance, making the discovery of novel therapeutic molecules an immediate need. Molecular target-based drug discovery, where the target is a defined molecular gene, protein or a mechanism, is a rationale driven approach for novel therapeutics. Humans obtain the essential amino acid such as threonine from dietary sources, while Leishmania synthesize it de-novo. Enzymes of the threonine biosynthesis pathway, including the rate limiting Homoserine kinase (HSK) which converts L-homoserine into ortho-phospho homoserine are thus attractive targets for rationale driven therapy. The absence of HSK in humans and its presence in Leishmania donovani enhances the opportunity to exploit HSK as a molecular target for anti-leishmanials therapeutic development. In this study, we utilize structure-based high throughput drug discovery (SBDD), followed by biochemical validation and identified two potential inhibitors (RH00038 and S02587) from Maybridge chemical library that targets L. donovani HSK. These two inhibitors effectively induced the mortality of Leishmania donovani in both amastigote and promastigote stages, with one of them being specific to parasite and twice as effective as the standard therapeutic molecule. Structure-based virtual inhibitor screening led to the identification and subsequent validation of S02587, a specific inhibitor of Leishmania donovani Homoserine kinase. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: Multiple drug resistance (MDR) is characterized by the resistance of cancer cells to a broad spectrum of anticancer drugs. The main mechanism underlying the MDR phenotype is the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters by promoting active drug efflux from cancer cells. Some small-molecule protein kinase inhibitors have been found to overcome MDR by inhibiting ABC transporters as substrates or modulators. This study investigated the chemical activity of 58 FDA-approved anticancer kinase inhibitors against three multidrug resistance-related proteins. The studied proteins are ATP-Binding Cassette Sub-Family B Member 1 (ABCB1), ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 1 (ABCC1), and ATP-binding cassette superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2). The drug-binding domain and ATP binding sites of the proteins were considered the kinase inhibitors’ probable target. High-throughput virtual screening and molecular docking were employed to find the hit drugs, and the drugs with the highest binding affinity were further evaluated using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The virtual screening revealed that several kinase inhibitors could be considered potential inhibitors of ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCG2, among which larotrectinib, entrectinib, and infigratinib showed the highest binding affinity, respectively. Based on the obtained results from MD simulation, these drugs can form strong interactions with the essential residues of the target proteins. In silico investigation revealed that larotrectinib, entrectinib, and infigratinib can target the key residues of the studied proteins. Therefore, these approved kinase inhibitors could be considered potential therapies for MDR cancers by targeting these transporters. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: To restore the integrity of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the wound healing process involves a complex series of well-orchestrated biochemical and cellular events. Due to the existence of various active components, accessibility and few side effects, some plant extracts and their phytoconstituents are recognised as viable options for wound healing agents. To find possible inhibitors of diabetic wound healing, four main constituents of aloe vera were identified from the literature. TGF-β1 and the compounds were studied using molecular docking to see how they interacted with the active site of target protein (PDB ID: 6B8Y). The pharmacokinetics investigation of the aloe emodin with the highest dock score complied with all the Lipinski’s rule of five and pharmacokinetics criteria. Conformational change in the docked complex of Aloe emodin was investigated with the Amber simulation software, via a molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The MD simulations of aloe emodin bound to TGF-β1 showed the significant structural rotations and twists occurring from 0 to 200 ns. The estimate of the aloe emodin-TGF-β1 complex’s binding free energy has also been done using MM-PBSA/GBSA techniques. Additionally, aloe emodin has a wide range of enzymatic activities since their probability active (Pa) values is >0.700. ‘Aloe emodin’, an active extract of aloe vera, has been identified as the key chemical in the current investigation that can inhibit diabetic wound healing. Both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments will be used in a wet lab to confirm the current computational findings. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic jawbone tumor. The binding of Nerve growth factor (NGF) to receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) promotes cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation via PI3K/AKT and Ras/MAPK signaling. Although the exact cause of ameloblastoma remains unknown, elevated levels of NGF and TrkA expression in ameloblastoma are associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient outcomes. It is previously demonstrated that His 4, Arg 9, and Glu 11 residues of NGF made crucial interactions with the TrkA subunit. The main aim of our present study to develop potential therapeutic strategies by identifying promising peptide candidates. The objectives include starting with a detailed in silico analysis to identify a crucial peptide sequence of NGF that is bound by TrkA, creating a library of novel peptides from the identified peptide sequence through a single-point mutation on interacting residues (His 4, Arg 9, and Glu 11), and selecting the top peptides based on docking score, interactions analysis, and desirable pose analysis. The study ultimately designed a hybrid peptide candidate through the simultaneous and continuous mutation of the top residues, resulting in a peptide that exhibited a more specific interaction with TrkA, blocking the binding site and preventing the interaction between NGF and TrkA.

description: Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge to public health, especially in developing countries, due to a substantial rise in bacterial resistance. This situation has become so concerning that we are now at risk of losing the effectiveness of antibiotics altogether. Recent research has firmly established that bacteria engage in a process called quorum sensing (QS). QS regulates various functions, including nutrient scavenging, immune response suppression, increased virulence, biofilm formation and mobility. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic bacterial pathogen, plays a significant role in various medical conditions such as chronic wounds, corneal infections, burn wounds and cystic fibrosis. While antibiotics are effective in killing bacteria, only a few antibiotics, particularly those from the β-lactam group, have been studied for their impact on the quorum sensing of P. aeruginosa. Given the lack of concentrated efforts in this area, we have investigated the role of β-lactam antibiotics on various potential targets of P. aeruginosa. Based on their toxicological profiles and the average binding energy obtained through molecular docking, azlocillin and moxalactam have emerged as lead antibiotics. The binding energy for the docking of azlocillin and moxalactam with LasA was determined to be −8.2 and −8.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Molecular simulation analysis has confirmed the stable interaction of both these ligands with all three target proteins (LasI, LasA and PqsR) under physiological conditions. The results of this research underscore the effectiveness of azlocillin and moxalactam. These two antibiotics may be repurposed to target the quorum sensing of P. aeruginosa.

description: Fused pyrimidine scaffold is present in several US FDA-approved drugs for various therapeutic indications. Drug repurposing (or drug repositioning) involves the analysis of existing clinically approved drugs for new therapeutic indications. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), via the regulatory PI3K pathway, is involved in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, survival, and angiogenesis. It is also considered a target in anticancer drug development as it promotes the growth of cancerous cells and increases resistance to anticancer therapy. The present work employed computational techniques like molecular docking, MMGBSA analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations to explore the PI3K inhibition by FDA-approved drugs with fused pyrimidine scaffold. The work identifies Lapatinib as a pan-class I PI3K inhibitor and Dipyridamole as an γ isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor and is reported here. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Diabetes affects millions globally and poses treatment challenges. Targeting the enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) in gluconeogenesis and exploring plant-based therapies offer potential solutions for improving diabetes management while supporting sustainability and medicinal advancements. Utilizing pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) waste as a source of drug precursors could be valuable for health and environmental care due to its medicinal benefits and abundant yearly biomass production. Therefore, this study conducted a virtual screening to identify potential natural compounds from pineapple that could inhibit FBPase activity. A total of 112 compounds were screened for drug-likeness and ADMET properties, and molecular docking simulations were performed on 20 selected compounds using blind docking. The lead compound, butane-2,3-diyl diacetate, was subjected to 100 ns MD simulations, revealing a binding energy of −5.4 kcal/mol comparable to metformin (−5.6 kcal/mol). The MD simulation also confirmed stable complexes with crucial hydrogen bonds. Glu20, Ala24, Thr27, Gly28, Glu29, Leu30, Val160, Met177, Asp178, and Cys179 were identified as key amino acids that stabilized the human liver FBPase-butane-2,3-diyl diacetate complex, while Tyr215 and Asp218 played a crucial role in the human liver FBPase-Metformin complex. Our study indicates that the lead compound has high intestinal solubility. Therefore, it would show rapid bloodstream distribution and effective action on the target protein, making butane-2,3-diyl diacetate a potential antidiabetic drug candidate. However, further investigations in vitro, preclinical, and clinical trials are required to thoroughly assess its efficacy and safety. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: β-lactamase are the main resistance factor for β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria. Since β-lactam antibiotics are being utilised as an antimicrobial agents extensively for the past 70 years, a large number of β-lactam-inactivating β-lactamases have been produced by bacteria. Here, we employed a structure-based drug discovery approach to identify and assess the efficacy of a potential medication that might block the β-lactamases which hydrolyse antibiotics. The FDA-approved medications were subjected to virtual screening, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory, and covalent docking against the β-lactamases. We identified diosmin, hidrosmin, monoxuritin and solasulfone as β-lactamase inhibitors which are authorised for therapeutic use in humans. These medications interact in a remarkable variety of non-covalent ways with the conserved residues in the substrate-binding pocket of the β-lactamases. Diosmin has been identified as an inhibitor that binds covalently to the NDM-1 a class B metallo-betalactamase. After experimental validation and clinical demonstration, this study offers adequate evidence for the therapeutic use of these drugs for controlling multidrug resistance. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
