Molecular modeling and docking analysis of aspirin with pde7b in the context of neuro-inflammation.

ABSTRACT: The PDE7B gene encodes 3'5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) and a known target in cognitive impairments. Therefore, it is of interest to design and development of potential inhibitors with PDE7B with improved binding features. We document that the amino acid residues such as H186, K190, and G113 of PDE7B protein showed crucial interactions with aspirin for further consideration in this context.

Molecular docking analysis of stachydrine and sakuranetin with IL-6 and TNF-α in the context of inflammation.

Project description:Inflammation is a process triggered by pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory molecules. Therefore, it is of interest to document the anti-inflammatory activity of Stachydrine and Sakuranetin against the inflammatory target proteins IL-6 and TNF-α by using molecular docking analysis. Both compounds showed good binding features with the selected target proteins. Compared to Sakuranetin, the Stachydrine have low binding energy and good hydrogen bond interactions. Hence, data show that Stachydrine possessed high and specific inhibitory activity on tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6.

Context-based preprocessing of molecular docking data.

Project description:BackgroundData preprocessing is a major step in data mining. In data preprocessing, several known techniques can be applied, or new ones developed, to improve data quality such that the mining results become more accurate and intelligible. Bioinformatics is one area with a high demand for generation of comprehensive models from large datasets. In this article, we propose a context-based data preprocessing approach to mine data from molecular docking simulation results. The test cases used a fully-flexible receptor (FFR) model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA enzyme (FFR_InhA) and four different ligands.ResultsWe generated an initial set of attributes as well as their respective instances. To improve this initial set, we applied two selection strategies. The first was based on our context-based approach while the second used the CFS (Correlation-based Feature Selection) machine learning algorithm. Additionally, we produced an extra dataset containing features selected by combining our context strategy and the CFS algorithm. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we evaluated its performance based on various predictive (RMSE, MAE, Correlation, and Nodes) and context (Precision, Recall and FScore) measures.ConclusionsStatistical analysis of the results shows that the proposed context-based data preprocessing approach significantly improves predictive and context measures and outperforms the CFS algorithm. Context-based data preprocessing improves mining results by producing superior interpretable models, which makes it well-suited for practical applications in molecular docking simulations using FFR models.

Integrated Biophysical Modeling and Image Analysis: Application to Neuro-Oncology.

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) tumors come with vastly heterogeneous histologic, molecular, and radiographic landscapes, rendering their precise characterization challenging. The rapidly growing fields of biophysical modeling and radiomics have shown promise in better characterizing the molecular, spatial, and temporal heterogeneity of tumors. Integrative analysis of CNS tumors, including clinically acquired multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the inverse problem of calibrating biophysical models to mpMRI data, assists in identifying macroscopic quantifiable tumor patterns of invasion and proliferation, potentially leading to improved (a) detection/segmentation of tumor subregions and (b) computer-aided diagnostic/prognostic/predictive modeling. This article presents a summary of (a) biophysical growth modeling and simulation,(b) inverse problems for model calibration, (c) these models' integration with imaging workflows, and (d) their application to clinically relevant studies. We anticipate that such quantitative integrative analysis may even be beneficial in a future revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification for CNS tumors, ultimately improving patient survival prospects.

Molecular docking analysis of nuclear factor-κB and genistein interaction in the context of breast cancer.

Project description:Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is a transcription factor and it contributes to breast cancer growth and metastasis. Hence, NF-κB is considered as a target for anti-breast cancer drugs. NF-κB was retrieved from the UniProtKB Data Base with UniProt ID P19838, its energy was minimized and subjected to molecular dynamic simulations using Gromacs v5.0.7 software with GROMOS96 43A1 force field implementing the steepest descent algorithm. The structure of genistein was retrieved from NCBI PubChem database in .sdf format and convert to .pdb format. The genistein compound was docked into the active site of NF-κB proteins with AutoDock tools 1.5. The genistein compound displayed the best binding energies at -6.29 (NF-κB) kcal/mol correspondingly. The binding interactions of this compound with the active site of NF-κB proteins suggested that amino acid residues (Lys52, Ser243, Asp274, Lys, 275) might play a key role in anti-breast cancer activity. Genistein also inhibited the translocation and expression of NF-κB in the nucleus of both breast cancer cell lines. These findings might increase our understanding of the molecular and functional role of NF-κB in breast cancer. It could also help in developing additional druggable NF-κB inhibitors with high potency, specificity and outstanding bioavailability.

Homology modeling, molecular docking and electrostatic potential analysis of MurF ligase from Klebsiella pneumonia.

Project description:In spite of availability of moderately protective vaccine and antibiotics, new antibacterial agents are urgently needed to decrease the global incidence of Klebsiella pneumonia infections. MurF ligase, a key enzyme, which participates in the bacterial cell wall assembly, is indispensable to existence of K. pneumonia. MurF ligase lack mammalian vis-à-vis and have high specificity, uniqueness, and occurrence only in eubacteria, epitomizing them as promising therapeutic targets for intervention. In this study, we present a unified approach involving homology modeling and molecular docking studies on MurF ligase enzyme. As part of this study, a homology model of K. pneumonia (MurF ligase) enzyme was predicted for the first time in order to carry out structurebased drug design. The accuracy of the model was further validated using different computational approaches. The comparative molecular docking study on this enzyme was undertaken using different phyto-ligands from Desmodium sp. and a known antibiotic Ciprofloxacin. The docking analysis indicated the importance of hotspots (HIS 281 and ASN 282) within the MurF binding pocket. The Lipinski's rule of five was analyzed for all ligands considered for this study by calculating the ADME/Tox, drug likeliness using Qikprop simulation. Only ten ligands were found to comply with the Lipinski rule of five. Based on the molecular docking results and Lipinki values 6-Methyltetrapterol A was confirmed as a promising lead compound. The present study should therefore play a guiding role in the experimental design and development of 6-Methyltetrapterol A as a bactericidal agent.

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

Project description:AimTo construct a quantitative pharmacophore model of tubulin inhibitors and to discovery new leads with potent antitumor activities.MethodsLigand-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.ResultsHypo1 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.ConclusionHypo1 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.

Homology modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations elucidated ?-fetoprotein binding modes.

Project description:BACKGROUND: An important mechanism of endocrine activity is chemicals entering target cells via transport proteins and then interacting with hormone receptors such as the estrogen receptor (ER). ?-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major transport protein in rodent serum that can bind and sequester estrogens, thus preventing entry to the target cell and where they could otherwise induce ER-mediated endocrine activity. Recently, we reported rat AFP binding affinities for a large set of structurally diverse chemicals, including 53 binders and 72 non-binders. However, the lack of three-dimensional (3D) structures of rat AFP hinders further understanding of the structural dependence for binding. Therefore, a 3D structure of rat AFP was built using homology modeling in order to elucidate rat AFP-ligand binding modes through docking analyses and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. METHODS: Homology modeling was first applied to build a 3D structure of rat AFP. Molecular docking and Molecular Mechanics-Generalized Born Surface Area (MM-GBSA) scoring were then used to examine potential rat AFP ligand binding modes. MD simulations and free energy calculations were performed to refine models of binding modes. RESULTS: A rat AFP tertiary structure was first obtained using homology modeling and MD simulations. The rat AFP-ligand binding modes of 13 structurally diverse, representative binders were calculated using molecular docking, (MM-GBSA) ranking and MD simulations. The key residues for rat AFP-ligand binding were postulated through analyzing the binding modes. CONCLUSION: The optimized 3D rat AFP structure and associated ligand binding modes shed light on rat AFP-ligand binding interactions that, in turn, provide a means to estimate binding affinity of unknown chemicals. Our results will assist in the evaluation of the endocrine disruption potential of chemicals.

Molecular modeling, docking and dynamics analysis of lipid droplet associated enzyme Ypr147cp from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Ypr147cp of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was localized to lipid droplets. The recombinant Ypr147cp showed both triacylglycerol lipase and ester hydrolase activities. Knock out of YPR147C led to accumulation of TAG in ypr147cΔ when compared to wild type (WT). Transmission electron microscopic analysis of ypr147cΔ cells show increased lipid bodies. Moreover, the lipid profiling confirmed the accumulation of fatty acids derived from neutral and phospholipids in ypr147cΔ cells. Sequence analysis of Ypr147cp show the presence of an a/b hydrolase domain with the conserved GXSXG lipase motif. The YPR147c homology model was built and the modeled protein was analysed using RMSD and root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) for a 100 ns simulation trajectory. Docking the acetate, butyrate and palmitate ligands with the model confirmed covalent binding of ligands with the Ser207 of the GXSXG motif. Thus, Ypr147cp is a lipid droplet associated triacylglycerol lipase having short chain ester hydrolyzing capacity.
