The discovery of aurora kinase inhibitor by multi-docking-based virtual screening.

ABSTRACT: We report the discovery of aurora kinase inhibitor using the fragment-based virtual screening by multi-docking strategy. Among a number of fragments collected from eMololecules, we found four fragment molecules showing potent activity (>50% at 100 ?M) against aurora kinase. Based on the explored fragment scaffold, we selected two compounds in our synthesized library and validated the biological activity against Aurora kinase.

Discovery of YopE Inhibitors by Pharmacophore-Based Virtual Screening and Docking.

Project description:Gram-negative bacteria Yersinia secrete virulence factors that invade eukaryotic cells via type III secretion system. One particular virulence member, Yersinia outer protein E (YopE), targets Rho family of small GTPases by mimicking regulator GAP protein activity, and its secretion mainly induces cytoskeletal disruption and depolymerization of actin stress fibers within the host cell. In this work, potent drug-like inhibitors of YopE are investigated with virtual screening approaches. More than 500,000 unique small molecules from ZINC database were screened with a five-point pharmacophore, comprising three hydrogen acceptors, one hydrogen donor, and one ring, and derived from different salicylidene acylhydrazides. Binding modes and features of these molecules were investigated with a multistep molecular docking approach using Glide software. Virtual screening hits were further analyzed based on their docking score, chemical similarity, pharmacokinetic properties, and the key Arg144 interaction along with other active site residue interactions with the receptor. As a final outcome, a diverse set of ligands with inhibitory potential were proposed.

Discovery of Cobimetinib as a novel A-FABP inhibitor using machine learning and molecular docking-based virtual screening.

Project description:Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP, also called FABP4, aP2) is an adipokine identified as a critical regulator of metabolic function due to its dual functions of fatty acid transport and pro-inflammation. Because of the high therapeutic potential of A-FABP inhibition for the treatment of metabolic diseases and related vascular complications, numerous inhibitors have been developed against A-FABP. However, none of these inhibitors have been approved for use in patients due to severe side effects. Here, we used a virtual screening (VS) strategy to identify potential inhibitors of A-FABP in the latest FDA-approved drug library (∼2600 compounds), aiming to explore the existing drugs with proven safety profiles. We firstly combined ligand-based machine learning and structure-based molecular docking to develop a screening pipeline for identifying A-FABP inhibitors. The screening of FDA-approved drugs identified four compounds (Cobimetinib, Larotrectinib, Pantoprazole, and Vildagliptin) with the highest scores, whose inhibitory effects on A-FABP were further assessed in cellular assays. Among the selected compounds, Cobimetinib significantly inhibited the activation of the JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway by A-FABP in mouse macrophages without causing obvious cytotoxicity. In summary, we present an integrated VS pipeline for A-FABP inhibitor screening, and identified Cobimetinib as a novel A-FABP inhibitor that may be repurposed for the treatment of metabolic diseases and associated vascular complications.

Discovery of a Natural Syk Inhibitor from Chinese Medicine through a Docking-Based Virtual Screening and Biological Assay Study.

Project description:Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a critical target protein for treating immunoreceptor signalling-mediated allergies. In this study, a virtual screening of an in-house Chinese medicine database followed by biological assays was carried out to identify novel Syk inhibitors. A molecular docking method was employed to screen for compounds with potential Syk inhibitory activity. Then, an in vitro kinase inhibition assay was performed to verify the Syk inhibitory activity of the virtual screening hits. Subsequently, a β-hexosaminidase release assay was conducted to evaluate the anti-mast cell degranulation activity of the active compounds. Finally, tanshinone I was confirmed as a Syk inhibitor (IC50 = 1.64 μM) and exhibited anti-mast cell degranulation activity in vitro (IC50 = 2.76 μM). Docking studies showed that Pro455, Gln462, Leu377, and Lys458 were key amino acid residues for Syk inhibitory activity. This study demonstrated that tanshinone I is a Syk inhibitor with mast cell degranulation inhibitory activity. Tanshinone I may be a potential lead compound for developing effective and safe Syk-inhibiting drugs.

Discovery of dual kinase inhibitors targeting VEGFR2 and FAK: structure-based pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening, and molecular docking studies.

Project description:VEGFR2 and FAK signaling pathways are interconnected and have synergistic effects on tumor angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis. Thus, instead of the conventional targeting of each of these proteins individually with a specific inhibitor, the present work aimed to discover novel dual inhibitors targeting both VEGFR2 and FAK exploiting their association. To this end, receptor-based pharmacophore modeling technique was opted to generate 3D pharmacophore models for VEGFR2 and FAK type II kinase inhibitors. The generated pharmacophore models were validated by assessing their ability to discriminate between active and decoy compounds in a pre-compiled test set of VEGFR2 and FAK active compounds and decoys. ZINCPharmer web tool was then used to screen the ZINC database purchasable subset using the validated pharmacophore models retrieving 42,616 hits for VEGFR2 and 28,475 hits for FAK. Subsequently, they were filtered using various filters leaving 13,023 and 6,832 survived compounds for VEGFR2 and FAK, respectively, with 124 common compounds. Based on molecular docking simulations, thirteen compounds were found to satisfy all necessary interactions with VEGFR2 and FAK kinase domains. Thus, they are predicted to have a possible dual VEGFR2/FAK inhibitory activity. Finally, SwissADME web tool showed that compound ZINC09875266 is not only promising in terms of binding pattern to our target kinases, but also in terms of pharmacokinetic properties.

Discovery of Novel IDH1 Inhibitor Through Comparative Structure-Based Virtual Screening.

Project description:IDH1 mutations occur in about 20-30% of gliomas and are a promising target for the treatment of cancer. In the present study, the performance of aIDH1R132H was verified via glide-docking-based virtual screening. On the basis of the two crystal structures (5TQH and 6B0Z) with the best discriminating ability to identify IDH1R132H inhibitors from a decoy set, a docking-based virtual screening strategy was employed for identifying new IDH1R132H inhibitors. In the end, 57 structurally diverse compounds were reserved and evaluated through experimental tests, and 10 of them showed substantial activity in targeting IDH1R132H (IC50 < 50 ?M). Molecular docking technology showed that L806-0255, V015-1671, and AQ-714/41674992 could bind to the binding pocket composed of hydrophobic residues. These findings indicate that L806-0255, V015-1671, and AQ-714/41674992 have the potential as lead compounds for the treatment of IDH1-mutated gliomas through further optimization.

FLT3 inhibitor design using molecular docking based virtual screening for acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a blood cancer, which affects the red blood cells in the bone marrow. Of the possible proteins that are affected in AML, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) has long been recognized as a potential therapeutic target as it affects the other signaling pathways and leads to a cascade of events. First-generation inhibitors sorafenib and midostaurin, as well as secondgeneration agents such as quizartinib and crenolanib are known. It is of interest to identify new compounds against FLT3 with improved activity using molecular docking and virtual screening. Molecular docking of existing inhibitors selected a top scoring bestestablished candidate Quizartinib having PubChem CID: 24889392. Similarity searching resulted in compound XGIQBUNWFCCMASUHFFFAOYSA-NPubChemCID: 44598530 which shows higher affinity scores. A comparative study of both the compounds using a drug-drug comparison, ADMET studies, boiled egg plot and pharmacophore parameters and properties confirmed the result and predicted the ligand to be an efficient inhibitor of FLT3.

Discovery of a novel IKK-? inhibitor by ligand-based virtual screening techniques.

Project description:Various inflammatory stimuli that activate the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) signaling pathway converge on a serine/threonine kinase that displays a key role in the activation of NF-?B: the I kappa B kinase ? (IKK-?). Therefore, IKK-? is considered an interesting target for combating inflammation and cancer. In our study, we developed a ligand-based pharmacophore model for IKK-? inhibitors. This model was employed to virtually screen commercial databases, giving a focused hit list of candidates. Subsequently, we scored by molecular shape to rank and further prioritized virtual hits by three-dimensional shape-based alignment. One out of ten acquired and biologically tested compounds showed inhibitory activity in the low micromolar range on IKK-? enzymatic activity in vitro and on NF-?B transactivation in intact cells. Compound 8 (2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl 4-[(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)methylamino]benzoate) represents a novel chemical class of IKK-? inhibitors and shows that the presented model is a valid approach for identification and development of new IKK-? ligands.

An effective docking strategy for virtual screening based on multi-objective optimization algorithm.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Development of a fast and accurate scoring function in virtual screening remains a hot issue in current computer-aided drug research. Different scoring functions focus on diverse aspects of ligand binding, and no single scoring can satisfy the peculiarities of each target system. Therefore, the idea of a consensus score strategy was put forward. Integrating several scoring functions, consensus score re-assesses the docked conformations using a primary scoring function. However, it is not really robust and efficient from the perspective of optimization. Furthermore, to date, the majority of available methods are still based on single objective optimization design. RESULTS:In this paper, two multi-objective optimization methods, called MOSFOM, were developed for virtual screening, which simultaneously consider both the energy score and the contact score. Results suggest that MOSFOM can effectively enhance enrichment and performance compared with a single score. For three different kinds of binding sites, MOSFOM displays an excellent ability to differentiate active compounds through energy and shape complementarity. EFMOGA performed particularly well in the top 2% of database for all three cases, whereas MOEA_Nrg and MOEA_Cnt performed better than the corresponding individual scoring functions if the appropriate type of binding site was selected. CONCLUSION:The multi-objective optimization method was successfully applied in virtual screening with two different scoring functions that can yield reasonable binding poses and can furthermore, be ranked with the potentially compromised conformations of each compound, abandoning those conformations that can not satisfy overall objective functions.

Discovery of novel focal adhesion kinase inhibitors using a hybrid protocol of virtual screening approach based on multicomplex-based pharmacophore and molecular docking.

Project description:Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase that functions as a key orchestrator of signals leading to invasion and metastasis. In the current study, the multicomplex-based pharmacophore (MCBP)-guided method has been suggested to generate a comprehensive pharmacophore of FAK kinase based on seven crystal structures of FAK-inhibitor complexes. In this investigation, a hybrid protocol of virtual screening methods, comprising of pharmacophore model-based virtual screening (PB-VS) and docking-based virtual screening (DB-VS), is used for retrieving new FAK inhibitors from commercially available chemical databases. This hybrid virtual screening approach was then applied to screen several chemical databases, including the Specs (202,408 compounds) database. Thirty-five compounds were selected from the final hits and should be shifted to experimental studies. These results may provide important information for further research of novel FAK inhibitors.

Discovery of a Novel Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor by Fragment-Based Design and Virtual Screening.

Project description:Despite extensive and intensive research efforts in recent decades, there is still no effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. On this background, the use of drugs inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) remains an eternal evergreen in the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate cognitive impairments. Even more, the cholinergic hypothesis, somewhat forgotten in recent years due to the shift in focus on amyloid cascade, is back to life, and the search for new, more effective AChE inhibitors continues. We generated a fragment-based library containing aromatic moieties and linkers originating from a set of novel AChE inhibitors. We used this library to design 1220 galantamine (GAL) derivatives following the model GAL (binding core) - linker (L) - aromatic fragment (Ar). The newly designed compounds were screened virtually for blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and binding to AChE. Among the top 10 best-scored compounds, a representative lead molecule was selected and tested for anti-AChE activity and neurotoxicity. It was found that the selected compound was a powerful non-toxic AChE inhibitor, 68 times more active than GAL, and could serve as a lead molecule for further optimization and development.
