Combined e-pharmacophore based screening and docking of PI3 kinase with potential inhibitors from a database of natural compounds.

ABSTRACT: Phospho inositide 3-kinase (PI3 K) is a promising target for the design of anticancer drugs and is of significant concern in developing selective isoforms as inhibitors for cancer treatments. The results obtained from the computational analysis were selected based on Glide score and drug binding interaction features. Molecular docking studies and prime MM-GBSA energy calculations showed STOCK1N-77648 with optimal binding features for further consideration. The hydrogen bonding patterns between the top three molecules STOCK1N-91335, STOCK1N-70036 and STOCK1N-77648 and the target protein based on G-scores is reported. The STOCK1N-77648 ligand molecule has protein residue interactions similar to that of interactions with the known inhibitor copanlisib. These data illustrates selectivity of the small molecular PI3 K inhibitors through screening and molecular docking for further in vitro and in vivo consideration.

Screening of caspase-3 inhibitors from natural molecule database using e-pharmacophore and docking studies.

Project description:Caspase a protease family member, have a vital role in cell death and inflammation process. Caspase-3, an effector caspase controls the regulation of apoptosis and has an anti apoptotic function. The mechanical significance of restoring apoptosis signaling to selectively target malignant cells is utilized to develop strong therapeutic strategies by the caspase family of mortality - induction molecules. Caspase-3 has currently no clear role in treatment for tumor progression and tumor sensitivity. The present study was aimed to screen caspase for potential inhibitors using computer aided docking methodologies. For this, zinc natural molecule database molecules were screened using e-pharmacophore and ADME protocols along with docking studies. Docking analysis selected two molecules, namely ZINC13341044 and ZINC13507846 with G-scores -5.27 and -6.19 respectively. These two potential hits are predicted as caspase inhibitors based on the results and can be further processed for in vitro validation.

Virtual screening and pharmacophore studies for ftase inhibitors using Indian plant anticancer compounds database.

Project description:Farnesyl transferase (FTase) is an enzyme responsible for post-translational modification in proteins having a carboxy-terminal CaaX motif in human. It catalyzes the attachment of a lipid group in proteins of RAS superfamily, which is essential in signal transduction. FTase has been recognized as an important target for anti cancer therapeutics. In this work, we performed virtual screening against FTase with entire 125 compounds from Indian Plant Anticancer Database using AutoDock 3.0.5 software. All compounds were docked within binding pocket containing Lys164, Tyr300, His248 and Tyr361 residues in crystal structure of FTase. These complexes were ranked according to their docking score, using methodology that was shown to achieve maximum accuracy. Finally we got three potent compounds with the best Autodock docking Score (Vinorelbine: -21.28 Kcal/mol, Vincristine: -21.74 Kcal/mol and Vinblastine: -22.14 Kcal/mol) and their energy scores were better than the FTase bound co-crystallized ligand (L- 739: -7.9 kcal/mol). These three compounds belong to Vinca alkaloids were analyzed through Python Molecular Viewer for their interaction studies. It predicted similar orientation and binding modes for these compounds with L-739 in FTase.Thus from the complex scoring and binding ability it is concluded that these Vinca alkaloids could be promising inhibitors for FTase. A 2-D pharmacophore was generated for these alkaloids using LigandScout to confirm it. A shared feature pharmacophore was also constructed that shows four common features (one hydogen bond Donar, Two hydrogen bond Acceptor and one ionizable area) help compounds to interact with this enzyme.

Tubulin inhibitors: pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening and molecular docking.

Project description:AIM: To construct a quantitative pharmacophore model of tubulin inhibitors and to discovery new leads with potent antitumor activities. METHODS: Ligand-based pharmacophore modeling was used to identify the chemical features responsible for inhibiting tubulin polymerization. A set of 26 training compounds was used to generate hypothetical pharmacophores using the HypoGen algorithm. The structures were further validated using the test set, Fischer randomization method, leave-one-out method and a decoy set, and the best model was chosen to screen the Specs database. Hit compounds were subjected to molecular docking study using a Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software and to biological evaluation in vitro. RESULTS: Hypo1 was demonstrated to be the best pharmacophore model that exhibited the highest correlation coefficient (0.9582), largest cost difference (70.905) and lowest RMSD value (0.6977). Hypo1 consisted of one hydrogen-bond acceptor, a hydrogen-bond donor, a hydrophobic feature, a ring aromatic feature and three excluded volumes. Hypo1 was validated with four different methods and had a goodness-of-hit score of 0.81. When Hypo1 was used in virtual screening of the Specs database, 952 drug-like compounds were revealed. After docking into the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, 5 drug-like compounds with the required interaction with the critical amino acid residues and the binding free energies < -4 kcal/mol were selected as representative leads. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibited inhibitory activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in vitro. CONCLUSION: Hypo1 is a quantitative pharmacophore model for tubulin inhibitors, which not only provides a better understanding of their interaction with tubulin, but also assists in discovering new potential leads with antitumor activities.

Combined pharmacophore modeling, docking, and 3D-QSAR studies of PLK1 inhibitors.

Project description:Polo-like kinase 1, an important enzyme with diverse biological actions in cell mitosis, is a promising target for developing novel anticancer drugs. A combined molecular docking, structure-based pharmacophore modeling and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study was performed on a set of 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline derivatives as PLK1 inhibitors. The common substructure, molecular docking and pharmacophore-based alignment were used to develop different 3D-QSAR models. The comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecule similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) models gave statistically significant results. These models showed good q(2) and r(2) (pred) values and revealed a good response to test set validation. All of the structural insights obtained from the 3D-QSAR contour maps are consistent with the available crystal structure of PLK1. The contour maps obtained from the 3D-QSAR models in combination with the structure based pharmacophore model help to better interpret the structure-activity relationship. These satisfactory results may aid the design of novel PLK1 inhibitors. This is the first report on 3D-QSAR study of PLK1 inhibitors.

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.

A mechanism for synergy with combined mTOR and PI3 kinase inhibitors.

Project description:Dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling has been found in many human cancers, particularly those with loss of the tumor suppressor PTEN. However, mTORC1 inhibitors such as temsirolimus have only modest activity when used alone and may induce acquired resistance by activating upstream mTORC2 and Akt. Other tumors that do not depend upon PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling for survival are primarily resistant. This study tested the hypothesis that the limited clinical efficacy of temsirolimus is due to a compensatory increase in survival signaling pathways downstream of Akt as well as an incomplete block of 4E-BP1-controlled proliferative processes downstream of mTOR. We explored the addition of a PI3K inhibitor to temsirolimus and identified the mechanism of combinatorial synergy. Proliferation assays revealed that BEZ235 (dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) or ZSTK474 (pan PI3K inhibitor) combined with temsirolimus synergistically inhibited cell growth compared to cells treated with any of the agents alone. Co-treatment resulted in G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and up-regulation of p27. Cell death occurred through massive autophagy and subsequent apoptosis. While molecular profiling revealed that, in most cases, sensitivity to temsirolimus alone was most marked in cells with high basal phospho-Akt resulting from PTEN inactivation, combining a PI3K inhibitor with temsirolimus prevented compensatory Akt phosphorylation and synergistically enhanced cell death regardless of PTEN status. Another molecular correlate of synergy was the finding that temsirolimus treatment alone blocks downstream S6 kinase signaling, but not 4E-BP1. Adding BEZ235 completely abrogated 4E-BP1 phosphorylation. We conclude that the addition of a PI3K inhibitor overcomes cellular resistance to mTORC1 inhibitors regardless of PTEN status, and thus substantially expands the molecular phenotype of tumors likely to respond.

Combined pharmacophore modeling, 3D-QSAR, homology modeling and docking studies on CYP11B1 inhibitors.

Project description:The mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzymes inhibitor steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) can decrease the production of cortisol. Therefore, these inhibitors have an effect in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. A pharmacophore model generated by Genetic Algorithm with Linear Assignment for Hypermolecular Alignment of Datasets (GALAHAD) was used to align the compounds and perform comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) with Q2 = 0.658, R2 = 0.959. The pharmacophore model contained six hydrophobic regions and one acceptor atom, and electropositive and bulky substituents would be tolerated at the A and B sites, respectively. A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study based on the alignment with the atom root mean square (RMS) was applied using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) with Q2 = 0.666, R2 = 0.978, and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) with Q2 = 0.721, R2 = 0.972. These results proved that all the models have good predictability of the bioactivities of inhibitors. Furthermore, the QSAR models indicated that a hydrogen bond acceptor substituent would be disfavored at the A and B groups, while hydrophobic groups would be favored at the B site. The three-dimensional (3D) model of the CYP11B1 was generated based on the crystal structure of the CYP11B2 (PDB code 4DVQ). In order to probe the ligand-binding modes, Surflex-dock was employed to dock CYP11B1 inhibitory compounds into the active site of the receptor. The docking result showed that the imidazolidine ring of CYP11B1 inhibitors form H bonds with the amino group of residue Arg155 and Arg519, which suggested that an electronegative substituent at these positions could enhance the activities of compounds. All the models generated by GALAHAD QSAR and Docking methods provide guidance about how to design novel and potential drugs for Cushing's syndrome treatment.

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.

A Search for Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitors by Pharmacophore-Based Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamic Simulations.

Project description:The G1 phase of cell cycle progression is regulated by Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4) as well as Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 6 (CDK6), and the acivities of these enzymes are regulated by the catalytic subunit, cyclin D. Cell cycle control through selective pharmacological inhibition of CDK4/6 has proven to be beneficial in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, particularly improving the progression-free survival of patients. Thus, targeting specific inhibition on CDK4/6 is bound to increase therapeutic efficiency. This study aimed to obtain CDK4/6 inhibitors through a pharmacophore-based virtual screening of the ZINC15 purchasable compound database using the in silico method. The pharmacophore model was designed based on the FDA-approved cdk4/6 inhibitor structures, and molecular docking was performed to further screen the hit compounds obtained. A total of eight compounds were selected based on docking results and interactions with CDK4 and CDK6, using palbociclib as the reference drug. According to the results, the compounds of ZINC585292724 and ZINC585291674 were the best compounds based on free binding energy, as well as hydrogen bond stability, and, therefore, exhibit potential as starting points in the development of CDK4/6 inhibitors.
