Nilotinib based pharmacophore models for BCRABL.

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of several malignancies, converting lethal diseases in a manageable aspect. Imitanib, a small molecule ABL kinase inhibitor is a highly effective therapy for early phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which has constitutively active ABL kinase activity owing to the over expression of the BCR-ABL fusion protein. But some patients develop imatinib resistance, particularly in the advanced phases of CML.The discovery of resistance mechanisms of imitanib; urge forward the development of second generation drugs. Nilotinib, a second generation drug is more potent inhibitor of BCR-ABL than imatinib. But nilotinib also develops dermatologic events and headache in patients. Large information about BCR-ABL structure and its inhibitors are now available. Based on the pharmacophore modeling approaches, it is possible to decipher the molecular determinants to inhibit BCR-ABL. We conducted a structure based and ligand based study to identify potent natural compounds as BCR-ABL inhibitor. First kinase inhibitors were docked with the receptor (BCR-ABL) and nilotinib was selected as a pharmacophore due its high binding efficiency. Eleven compounds were selected out of 1457 substances which have mutual pharmacopohre features with nilotinib. These eleven compounds were validated and used for docking study to find the drug like molecules. The best molecules from the final set of screening candidates can be evaluated in cell lines and may represent a novel class of BCR-ABL inhibitors. ABBREVIATIONS:CML - Chronic myeloid leukemia, PDGFR - Platelet derived growth factor receptor, TKI - Tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Project description:mPGES-1 is an enzyme, which, when activated by inflammatory factors, can cause prostaglandin E synthesis. Traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are capable of inhibiting prostaglandin production, yet they can also cause gastrointestinal reactions and coagulation disorders. mPGES-1, the enzyme at the conclusion of prostaglandin production, does not cause any adverse reactions when inhibited. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mPGES-1 is more abundant in cancerous cells than in healthy cells, indicating that decreasing the expression of mPGES-1 could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. Consequently, the invention of mPGES-1 inhibitors presents a fresh avenue for the treatment of inflammation and cancer. Incorporating a database of TCM compounds, we collected a batch of compounds that had an inhibitory effect on mPGES-1 and possessed IC50 value. Firstly, a pharmacophore model was constructed, and the TCM database was screened, and the compounds with score cut-off values of more than 1 were retained. Then, the compounds retained after being screened via the pharmacodynamic model were screened for docking at the mPGES-1 binding site, followed by high-throughput virtual screening [HTVS] and standard precision [SP] and super-precision [XP] docking, and the compounds in the top 20% of the XP docking score were selected to calculate the total free binding energy of MM-GBSA. The best ten compounds were chosen by comparing their score against the reference ligand 4U9 and the MM-GBSA_dG_Bind score. ADMET analysis resulted in the selection of ten compounds, three of which had desirable medicinal properties. Finally, the binding energy of the target protein mPGES-1 and the candidate ligand compound was analyzed using a 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation of the reference ligand 4U9 and three selected compounds. After a gradual screening study and analysis, we identified a structure that is superior to the reference ligand 4U9 in all aspects, namely compound 15643. Taken together, the results of this study reveal a structure that can be used to inhibit mPGES-1 compound 15643, thereby providing a new option for anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor drugs.
