Discovery of a novel chemotype of tyrosine kinase inhibitors by fragment-based docking and molecular dynamics.

ABSTRACT: We have discovered a novel chemical class of inhibitors of the EphB4 tyrosine kinase by fragment-based high-throughput docking followed by explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations for assessment of the binding mode. The synthesis of a single derivative (compound 7) of the hit identified in silico has resulted in an improvement of the inhibitory potency in an enzymatic assay from 8.4 ?M to 160 nM and a ligand efficiency of 0.39 kcal/mol per non-hydrogen atom. Such remarkable improvement in affinity is due to an additional hydroxyl group involved in two favorable (buried) hydrogen bonds as predicted by molecular dynamics and validated by the crystal structure of the complex with EphA3 solved at 1.7 Å resolution.

Discovery of novel TMPRSS2 inhibitors for COVID-19 using <i>in silico</i> fragment-based drug design, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and quantum mechanics studies.

Project description:The global expansion of COVID-19 and the mutations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus necessitate quick development of treatment and vaccination. Because the androgen-responsive serine protease TMPRSS2 is involved in cleaving the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein allowing the virus to enter the cell, therefore, direct TMPRSS2 inhibition will inhibit virus activation and disease progression which make it an important target for drug discovery. In this study, a homology model of TMPRSS2 protein was initially developed. Then, we used the fragment-based drug design (FBDD) technique to develop effective TMPRSS2 inhibitors. Over a half-million fragments from the enamine database were screened for their binding ability to target protein, and then best-scoring fragments were linked to building new molecules with a good binding affinity. XP docking and MM-GBSA studies revealed 10 new formed molecules with docking score ≤ -14.982 kcal/mol compared to ambroxol (control) with a docking score of -6.464 kcal/mol. Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) were calculated for the top 3 molecules.

Discovery of Novel Tankyrase Inhibitors through Molecular Docking-Based Virtual Screening and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies.

Project description:Tankyrase enzymes (TNKS), a core part of the canonical Wnt pathway, are a promising target in the search for potential anti-cancer agents. Although several hundreds of the TNKS inhibitors are currently known, identification of their novel chemotypes attracts considerable interest. In this study, the molecular docking and machine learning-based virtual screening techniques combined with the physico-chemical and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity) profile prediction and molecular dynamics simulations were applied to a subset of the ZINC database containing about 1.7 M commercially available compounds. Out of seven candidate compounds biologically evaluated in vitro for their inhibition of the TNKS2 enzyme using immunochemical assay, two compounds have shown a decent level of inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of less than 10 nM and 10 μM. Relatively simple scores based on molecular docking or MM-PBSA (molecular mechanics, Poisson-Boltzmann, surface area) methods proved unsuitable for predicting the effect of structural modification or for accurate ranking of the compounds based on their binding energies. On the other hand, the molecular dynamics simulations and Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) calculations allowed us to further decipher the structure-activity relationships and retrospectively analyze the docking-based virtual screening performance. This approach can be applied at the subsequent lead optimization stages.

QSAR modelling, molecular docking, molecular dynamic and ADMET prediction of pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives as novel Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.

Project description:In recent years, there has been a focus on developing and discovering novel Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, as they offer an effective treatment strategy for B-cell malignancies. BTK plays a crucial role in B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated activation and proliferation by regulating downstream factors such as the NF-κB and MAP kinase pathways. To address this challenge and propose potential therapeutic options for B-cell lymphomas, researchers conducted 2D-QSAR and ADMET studies on pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives that act as inhibitors of the BCR site in cytochrome b. These studies aim to improve and identify new compounds that could serve as more potent potential BTK inhibitors, which would lead to the identification of new drug candidates in this field. In our study, we used 2D-QSAR (multiple linear regression, multiple nonlinear regression, and artificial neural networks), molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and ADMET properties to investigate the potential of 35 pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives as BTK inhibitors. A molecular docking study and molecular dynamics simulations of molecule 13 over 10 ns revealed that it establishes multiple hydrogen bonds with several residues and exhibits frequent stability throughout the simulation period. Based on the results obtained by molecular modeling, we proposed six new compounds (Pred1, Pred2, Pred3, Pred4, Pred5, and Pred6) with highly significant predicted activity by MLR models. A study based on the in silico evaluation of the predicted ADMET properties of the new candidate molecules is strongly recommended to classify these molecules as promising candidates for new anticancer agents specifically designed to target Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition.

Synthesis, Anticancer Screening of Some Novel Trimethoxy Quinazolines and VEGFR2, EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Assay; Molecular Docking Studies.

Project description:A new series of 8-methoxy-2-trimethoxyphenyl-3-substituted quinazoline-4(3)-one compounds were designed, synthesized, and screened for antitumor activity against three cell lines, namely, Hela, A549, and MDA compared to docetaxel as reference drug. The molecular docking was performed using Autodock Vina program and 20 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed using GROMACS 2018.1 software. Compound 6 was the most potent antitumor of the new synthesized compounds and was evaluated as a VEGFR2 and EGFR inhibitor with (IC50, 98.1 and 106 nM respectively) compared to docetaxel (IC50, 89.3 and 56.1 nM respectively). Compounds 2, 6, 10, and 8 showed strong cytotoxic activities against the Hela cell line with IC50 of, 2.13, 2.8, 3.98, and 4.94 µM, respectively, relative to docetaxel (IC50, 9.65 µM). Compound 11 showed strong cytotoxic activity against A549 cell line (IC50, 4.03 µM) relative to docetaxel (IC50, 10.8 µM). Whereas compounds 6 and 9 showed strong cytotoxic activity against MDA cell line (IC50, 0.79, 3.42 µM, respectively) as compared to docetaxel (IC50, 3.98 µM).

Exploration of Novel Inhibitors for Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase by 3D QSAR Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Project description:Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic, non-receptor tyrosine kinase which is expressed in most of the hematopoietic cells and plays an important role in many cellular signaling pathways. B cell malignancies are dependent on BCR signaling, thus making BTK an efficient therapeutic target. Over the last few years, significant efforts have been made in order to develop BTK inhibitors to treat B-cell malignancies, and autoimmunity or allergy/hypersensitivity but limited success has been achieved. Here in this study, 3D QSAR pharmacophore models were generated for Btk based on known IC50 values and experimental energy scores with extensive validations. The five features pharmacophore model, Hypo1, includes one hydrogen bond acceptor lipid, one hydrogen bond donor, and three hydrophobic features, which has the highest correlation coefficient (0.98), cost difference (112.87), and low RMS (1.68). It was further validated by the Fisher's randomization method and test set. The well validated Hypo1 was used as a 3D query to search novel Btk inhibitors with different chemical scaffold using high throughput virtual screening technique. The screened compounds were further sorted by applying ADMET properties, Lipinski's rule of five and molecular docking studies to refine the retrieved hits. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulation was employed to study the stability of docked conformation and to investigate the binding interactions in detail. Several important hydrogen bonds with Btk were revealed, which includes the gatekeeper residues Glu475 and Met 477 at the hinge region. Overall, this study suggests that the proposed hits may be more effective inhibitors for cancer and autoimmune therapy.

Discovery of Novel Naphthoquinone-Chalcone Hybrids as Potent FGFR1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling.

Project description:This work presents a flexible synthesis of 10 novel naphthoquinone-chalcone derivatives (1-10) by nucleophilic substitution of readily accessible aminochalcones and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. All compounds displayed broad-spectrum cytotoxic activities against all the tested cancer cell lines (i.e., HuCCA-1, HepG2, A549, MOLT-3, T47D, and MDA-MB-231) with IC50 values in the range of 0.81-62.06 μM, especially the four most potent compounds 1, 3, 8, and 9. The in vitro investigation on the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitory effect indicated that eight derivatives (1-2, 4-5, and 7-10) were active FGFR1 inhibitors (IC50 = 0.33-3.13 nM) with more potency than that of the known FGFR1 inhibitor, AZD4547 (IC50 = 12.17 nM). Promisingly, compounds 5 (IC50 = 0.33 ± 0.01 nM), 9 (IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.04 nM), and 7 (IC50 = 0.85 ± 0.08 nM) were the three most potent FGFR1 inhibitors. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM/GBSA-based free energy calculation revealed that the key amino acid residues involved in the binding of the compounds 5, 7, and 9 and the target FGFR1 protein were similar with those of the AZD4547 (i.e., Val492, Lys514, Ile545, Val561, Ala640, and Asp641). These findings revealed that the newly synthesized naphthoquinone-chalcone scaffold is a promising structural feature for an efficient inhibition of FGFR1.

Molecular docking of 1H-pyrazole derivatives to receptor tyrosine kinase and protein kinase for screening potential inhibitors.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase receptor and protein kinases drawn much attention for the scientific fraternity in drug discovery due to its important role in different cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other hyper-proliferative disorders. Docking studies of pyrazole derivatives with tyrosine kinase and different serine/threonine protein kinases were employed by using flexible ligand docking approach of AutoDock 4.2. Among the molecules tested for docking study, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1- phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (1b), 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)- 1,3,4-thiadiazole (1d) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (2b) revealed minimum binding energy of -10.09, -8.57 and -10.35 kJ/mol with VEGFR-2 (2QU5), Aurora A (2W1G) and CDK2 (2VTO) protein targets, respectively. These proteins are representatives of plausible models of interactions with different anticancer agents. All the ligands were docked deeply within the binding pocket region of all the three proteins, showing reasonable hydrogen bonds. The docking study results showed that these pyrazole derivatives are potential inhibitor of all the three protein targets; and also all these docked compounds have good inhibition constant, vdW + Hbond + desolv energy with best RMSD value.

Discovery of multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors as novel anti-angiogenesis agents.

Project description:Recently, we have identified a biphenyl-aryl urea incorporated with salicylaldoxime (BPS-7) as an anti-angiogenesis agent. Herein, we disclosed a series of novel anti-angiogenesis agents with BPS-7 as lead compound through combining diarylureas with N-pyridin-2-ylcyclopropane carboxamide. Several title compounds exhibited simultaneous inhibition effects against three pro-angiogenic RTKs (VEGFR-2, TIE-2 and EphB4). Some of them displayed potent anti-proliferative activity against human vascular endothelial cell (EA.hy926). In particular, two potent compounds (CDAU-1 and CDAU-2) could be considered as promising anti-angiogenesis agents with triplet inhibition profile. The biological evaluation and molecular docking results indicate that N-pyridin-2-ylcyclopropane carboxamide could serve as a hinge-binding group (HBG) for the discovery of multi-target anti-angiogenesis agents. CDAU-2 also exhibited promising anti-angiogenic potency in a tissue model for angiogenesis.

Molecular docking and ligand specificity in fragment-based inhibitor discovery.

Project description:Fragment screens have successfully identified new scaffolds in drug discovery, often with relatively high hit rates (5%) using small screening libraries (1,000-10,000 compounds). This raises two questions: would other noteworthy chemotypes be found were one to screen all commercially available fragments (>300,000), and does the success rate imply low specificity of fragments? We used molecular docking to screen large libraries of fragments against CTX-M beta-lactamase. We identified ten millimolar-range inhibitors from the 69 compounds tested. The docking poses corresponded closely to the crystallographic structures subsequently determined. Notably, these initial low-affinity hits showed little specificity between CTX-M and an unrelated beta-lactamase, AmpC, which is unusual among beta-lactamase inhibitors. This is consistent with the idea that the high hit rates among fragments correlate to a low initial specificity. As the inhibitors were progressed, both specificity and affinity rose together, yielding to our knowledge the first micromolar-range noncovalent inhibitors against a class A beta-lactamase.
