Molecular docking studies on DMDP derivatives as human DHFR inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Molecular docking is routinely used for understanding drug-receptor interaction in modern drug design. Here, we describe the docking of 2, 4-diamino-5-methyl-5-deazapteridine (DMDP) derivatives as inhibitors to human dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). We docked 78 DMDP derivates collected from literature to DHFR and studied their specific interactions with DHFR. A new shape-based method, LigandFit, was used for docking DMDP derivatives into DHFR active sites. The result indicates that the molecular docking approach is reliable and produces a good correlation coefficient (r² = 0.499) for the 73 compounds between docking score and IC(50) values (Inhibitory Activity). The chloro substituted naphthyl ring of compound 63 makes significant hydrophobic contact with Leu 22, Phe 31 and Pro 61 of the DHFR active site leading to enhanced inhibition of the enzyme. The docked complexes provide better insights to design more potent DHFR inhibitors prior to their synthesis.

Molecular docking studies on quinazoline antifolate derivatives as human thymidylate synthase inhibitors.

Project description:We have performed molecular docking on quinazoline antifolates complexed with human thymidylate synthase to gain insight into the structural preferences of these inhibitors. The study was conducted on a selected set of one hundred six compounds with variation in structure and activity. The structural analyses indicate that the coordinate bond interactions, the hydrogen bond interactions, the van der Waals interactions as well as the hydrophobic interactions between ligand and receptor are responsible simultaneously for the preference of inhibition and potency. In this study, fast flexible docking simulations were performed on quinazoline antifolates derivatives as human thymidylate synthase inhibitors. The results indicated that the quinazoline ring of the inhibitors forms hydrophobic contacts with Leu192, Leu221 and Tyr258 and stacking interaction is conserved in complex with the inhibitor and cofactor.

Project description:The present work describesthe development of highly potent mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor better than the standard kojic acid. Carvacrol derivatives 4a-f and 6a-d having substituted benzoic acid and cinnamic acidresidues were synthesized with the aim to possess potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity.The structures of the synthesized compounds were ascertained by their spectroscopic data (FTIR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and Mass Spectroscopy).Mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds was determined and it was found that one of the derivative 6c possess higher activity (IC50 0.0167μM) than standard kojic acid (IC50 16.69μM). The derivatives 4c and 6b also showed good tyrosinase inhibitory activity with (IC50 16.69μM) and (IC50 16.69μM) respectively.Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots were used for the determination of kinetic mechanism of the compounds 4c and 6b and 6c. The kinetic analysis revealed that compounds 4c and 6b showed mixed-type inhibition while 6c is a non-competitive inhibitor having Ki values19 μM, 10 μM, and 0.05 μMrespectively. The enzyme inhibitory kinetics further showed thatcompounds 6b and 6c formed irreversible enzyme inhibitor complex while 4c bind reversibly with mushroom tyrosinase.The docking studies showed that compound 6c have maximum binding affinity against mushroom tyrosinase (PDBID: 2Y9X) with binding energy value (-7.90 kcal/mol) as compared to others.The 2-hydroxy group in compound 6c interacts with amino acid HIS85 which is present in active binding site. The wet lab results are in good agreement with the dry lab findings.Based upon our investigation we may propose that the compound 6c is promising candidate for the development of safe cosmetic agent.

Exploring Amantadine Derivatives as Urease Inhibitors: Molecular Docking and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Studies.

Project description:This article describes the design and synthesis of a series of novel amantadine-thiourea conjugates (3a-j) as Jack bean urease inhibitors. The synthesized hybrids were assayed for their in vitro urease inhibition. Accordingly, N-(adamantan-1-ylcarbamothioyl)octanamide (3j) possessing a 7-carbon alkyl chain showed excellent activity with IC50 value 0.0085 ± 0.0011 µM indicating that the long alkyl chain plays a vital role in enzyme inhibition. Whilst N-(adamantan-1-ylcarbamothioyl)-2-chlorobenzamide (3g) possessing a 2-chlorophenyl substitution was the next most efficient compound belonging to the aryl series with IC50 value of 0.0087 ± 0.001 µM. The kinetic mechanism analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed the non-competitive mode of inhibition for compound 3j. Moreover, in silico molecular docking against target protein (PDBID 4H9M) indicated that most of the synthesized compounds exhibit good binding affinity with protein. The compound 3j forms two hydrogen bonds with amino acid residue VAL391 having a binding distance of 1.858 Å and 2.240 Å. The interaction of 3j with amino acid residue located outside the catalytic site showed its non-competitive mode of inhibition. Based upon these results, it is anticipated that compound 3j may serve as a lead structure for the design of more potent urease inhibitors.

3D-QSAR studies of dihydropyrazole and dihydropyrrole derivatives as inhibitors of human mitotic kinesin Eg5 based on molecular docking.

Project description:Human mitotic kinesin Eg5 plays an essential role in mitoses and is an interesting drug target against cancer. To find the correlation between Eg5 and its inhibitors, structure-based 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed on a series of dihydropyrazole and dihydropyrrole derivatives using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methods. Based on the LigandFit docking results, predictive 3D-QSAR models were established, with cross-validated coefficient values (q²) up to 0.798 for CoMFA and 0.848 for CoMSIA, respectively. Furthermore, the CoMFA and CoMSIA models were mapped back to the binding sites of Eg5, which could provide a better understanding of vital interactions between the inhibitors and the kinase. Ligands binding in hydrophobic part of the inhibitor-binding pocket were found to be crucial for potent ligand binding and kinases selectivity. The analyses may be used to design more potent EG5 inhibitors and predict their activities prior to synthesis.

Project description:ObjectivesCyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle and its overexpression contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Inhibition of CDK2 is known to be a mechanism of action of various anti-cancer drugs. Curcumin is an active compound of Curcuma longa and it has been reported to inhibit the activity of cyclin D, cyclin E, CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6. This study aimed to design more active curcumin derivatives as anticancer drugs by targeting CDK2 through a molecular modeling approach.Materials and methodsThe molecular modeling approach consists of receptor and ligand preparation, method validation, pharmacophore modeling, and docking simulation.ResultsThe results of the molecular docking simulation show that the free bonding energy (ΔG) of curcumin and kurkumod 23 and 24 (the best modification of curcumin) are -7.80, -9.15, and -9.36 kcal/mol, respectively. The hydrogen interaction between kurkumod 23 and 24 with CDK occurred on Lys33 residue, which is considered a potential interaction site for CDK2 inhibitor compounds. Pharmacophore modeling showed that kurkumod 23 and 24 have pharmacophore-fit values of 45.20% and 47.26%, respectively.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that kurkumod 23 and 24 are the best and most potent modifications of curcumin as CDK2 antagonist, based on the interactions that occur between these two derivatives with amino acid residues from the CDK2 receptor.

Novel biphenyl ester derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors: Synthesis, crystallographic, spectral analysis and molecular docking studies.

Project description:Biphenyl-based compounds are clinically important for the treatments of hypertension and inflammatory, while many more are under development for pharmaceutical uses. In the present study, a series of 2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl benzoates, 2(a-q), and 2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl pyridinecarboxylate, 2(r-s) were synthesized by reacting 1-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-bromoethan-1-one with various carboxylic acids using potassium carbonate in dimethylformamide at ambient temperature. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed a more closely packed crystal structure can be produced by introduction of biphenyl moiety. Five of the compounds among the reported series exhibited significant anti-tyrosinase activities, in which 2p, 2r and 2s displayed good inhibitions which are comparable to standard inhibitor kojic acid at concentrations of 100 and 250 μg/mL. The inhibitory effects of these active compounds were further confirmed by computational molecular docking studies and the results revealed the primary binding site is active-site entrance instead of inner copper binding site which acted as the secondary binding site.

Molecular modelling studies of quinazolinone derivatives as MMP-13 inhibitors by QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations techniques.

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) is an attractive drug target for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, a series of quinazolinone derivatives as MMP-13 inhibitors were firstly systematically studied using QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The reliable CoMFA (q 2 = 0.646, r 2 = 0.992, R pred 2 = 0.829) and CoMSIA (q 2 = 0.704, r 2 = 0.992, R pred 2 = 0.839) models were constructed and verified by the Topomer CoMFA model. Results of contour maps indicated that the electrostatic, hydrophobic and H-bond acceptor fields primarily influenced the activity of MMP-13 inhibitors in the models. Several key residues (Ala238, Thr245, Thr247, Met253, Asn215 and Lys140) were identified as important factors to improve the activity and stability of the inhibitor through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction. Based on these results, eight novel quinazolinones (D1-D8) were further designed. Additionally, all designed compounds showed good pharmacokinetic properties by ADMET predictions. Compounds D3 and D8 exhibited excellent predictive activity, and the 10 ns MD simulations analysis revealed that the hydrogen bonding interaction with residues (Ser250 and Gly248) was enhanced, and the small group in R2 and U-shaped conformation was of pivotal importance. These results provided strong guidance for the discovery and design of novel potential MMP-13 inhibitors.
