Project description:Background:The phytoconstituents phytic acid and 4-hydroxyisoleucine have been reported to posses various biological properties. Objective:This prompted us to carry out the docking study on these two ligands (phytic acid & 4-hydroxyisoleucine) against eleven targeted enzymes. Materials and Methods:Phytic acid & 4-hydroxyisoleucine were evaluated on the docking behaviour of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-2 (mPGES-2), tyrosinase, human neutrophil elastase (HNE), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP 2 and 9), xanthine oxidase (XO), squalene synthase (SQS), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), human aldose reductase (HAR) and lipoxygenase (LOX) using Discovery Studio Version 3.1 (except for LOX, where Autodock 4.2 tool was used). Results:Docking and binding free energy analysis revealed that phytic acid exhibited the maximum binding energy for four target enzymes such as COX-2, mPGES-2, tyrosinase and HNE. Interestingly, we found that 4-hydroxyisoleucine has the potential to dock and bind with all of the eleven targeted enzymes. Conclusion:This present study has paved a new insight in understanding 4-hydroxyisoleucine as potential inhibitor against COX-2, mPGES-2, tyrosinase, HNE, MMP 2, MMP 9, XO, SQS, NOS, HAR and LOX. SUMMARY:4-hydroxyisoleucine has the potential to dock and bind with all 11targeted enzymes such as (cyclooxygenase-2 [COX-2], microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-2 [mPGES-2], tyrosinase, human neutrophil elastase [HNE], matrix metalloproteinase [MMP-2 and -9], xanthine oxidase, squalene synthase, nitric oxide synthase, human aldose reductase, and lipoxygenase)Moreover, docking studies and binding free energy calculations revealed that phytic acid exhibited the maximum binding energy for four target enzymes such as COX-2, mPGES-2, tyrosinase, and HNE; however, for other six target enzymes, it fails to dock.
