Curcumin has been reported to be therapeutically active but has poor bioavailability, half life, and high rate of metabolic detoxifcation. Most of the hydrophobic and acidic drugs get transported through human serum albumin (HSA). Binding of drugs to serum protein increases their half-life. The present study is focused to analyze interaction of curcumin with HSA by NMR and docking studies. In order to investigate the binding affinity of curcumin with HSA, NMR based diffusion techniques and docking study have been carried out. We report that curcumin has shown comparable binding affinity value vis-a-vis standard, the accessible surface area (ASA) of human serum albumin (uncomplexed) and its docked complex with curcumin at both binding sites was calculated and found to be close to that of warfarin and diazepam respectively. Conclusion drawn from our study demonstrates that curcumin interacts with HSA strongly thereby its poor half life is due to high rate of its metabolic detoxification as reported in literature.
In diffusion NOE process the signals of small molecules remain (tryptophan and curcumin) which interact with macromolecules. However, the signals of molecules which do not interact disappear. This indicates curcumin and tryptophan molecule bind with human serum albumin 相似文献

β-Secretase (BACE) is a very promising target in the search for a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease using a protein–ligand inhibition approach. Given the many published X-ray structures of BACE protein, structure-based drug design has been used extensively to support new inhibitor discovery programs. Due to the high flexibility and large catalytic site of this protein, sampling of the huge conformational space of the binding site is the big challenge to overcome and is the main limitation of the most widely used docking programs. Incorrect treatment of these pitfalls can introduce bias into ligand docking and could affect the results. This is especially the case with the WY-25105 compound reported by the Wyeth Corporation as a BACE ligand that did not fit into any of the known crystal structures. In the present retrospective study, a set of available X-ray enzyme structures was selected and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to generate more diverse representative BACE protein conformations. These conformations were then used for a docking study of the WY-25105 compound. The results confirmed the need to use an ensemble of structures in protein–ligand docking for identification of new binding modes in structure-based drug design of BACE inhibitors. Figure

The preliminary cytotoxic effect of 4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(piperidin-4-ylcarbonyl)-thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride (1)—a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor—was measured using a MTT assay. It was found that the compound decreased the number of viable cells in both estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 and estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-231breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 146?±?2 and 132?±?2 μM, respectively. To clarify the molecular basis of the inhibitory action of 1, molecular docking studies were carried out. The results suggest that 1 targets the ATP binding pocket. Figure

Five‐nanosecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on human serum albumin (HSA) to study the conformational features of its primary ligand binding sites (I and II). Additionally, 11 HSA snapshots were extracted every 0.5 ns to explore the binding affinity (Kd) of 94 known HSA binding drugs using a blind docking procedure. MD simulations indicate that there is considerable flexibility for the protein, including the known sites I and II. Movements at HSA sites I and II were evidenced by structural analyses and docking simulations. The latter enabled the study and analysis of the HSA–ligand interactions of warfarin and ketoprofen (ligands binding to sites I and II, respectively) in greater detail. Our results indicate that the free energy values by docking (Kd observed) depend upon the conformations of both HSA and the ligand. The 94 HSA–ligand binding Kd values, obtained by the docking procedure, were subjected to a quantitative structure‐activity relationship (QSAR) study by multiple regression analysis. The best correlation between the observed and QSAR theoretical (Kd predicted) data was displayed at 2.5 ns. This study provides evidence that HSA binding sites I and II interact specifically with a variety of compounds through conformational adjustments of the protein structure in conjunction with ligand conformational adaptation to these sites. These results serve to explain the high ligand‐promiscuity of HSA. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 93: 161–170, 2010. This article was originally published online as an accepted preprint.

Human serum heme–albumin (HSA–heme–Fe) displays reactivity and spectroscopic properties similar to those of heme proteins. Here, the nitrite reductase activity of ferrous HSA–heme–Fe [HSA–heme–Fe(II)] is reported. The value of the second-order rate constant for the reduction of $ {\text{NO}}_{2}^{ - } $ to NO and the concomitant formation of nitrosylated HSA–heme–Fe(II) (i.e., k on) is 1.3 M?1 s?1 at pH 7.4 and 20 °C. Values of k on increase by about one order of magnitude for each pH unit decrease between pH 6.5 to 8.2, indicating that the reaction requires one proton. Warfarin inhibits the HSA–heme–Fe(II) reductase activity, highlighting the allosteric linkage between the heme binding site [also named the fatty acid (FA) binding site 1; FA1] and the drug-binding cleft FA2. The dissociation equilibrium constant for warfarin binding to HSA–heme–Fe(II) is (3.1 ± 0.4) × 10?4 M at pH 7.4 and 20 °C. These results: (1) represent the first evidence for the $ {\text{NO}}_{2}^{ - } $ reductase activity of HSA–heme–Fe(II), (2) highlight the role of drugs (e.g., warfarin) in modulating HSA(–heme–Fe) functions, and (3) strongly support the view that HSA acts not only as a heme carrier but also displays transient heme-based reactivity. 相似文献

Interest in structure-based G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligand discovery is huge, given that almost 30 % of all approved drugs belong to this category of active compounds. The GPCR family includes the dopamine receptor subtype D2 (D2DR), but unfortunately—as is true of most GPCRs—no experimental structures are available for these receptors. In this publication, we present the molecular model of D2DR based on the previously published crystal structure of the dopamine D3 receptor (D3DR). A molecular modeling study using homology modeling and docking simulation provided a rational explanation for the behavior of the arylpiperazine ligand. The observed binding modes and receptor–ligand interactions provided us with fresh clues about how to optimize selectivity for D2DR receptors. Figure

Insights into the structural determinants for selective inhibition of nitric oxide synthase isoforms
Bruno L. Oliveira Irina S. Moreira Pedro A. Fernandes Maria J. Ramos Isabel Santos João D. G. Correia 《Journal of molecular modeling》2013,19(4):1537-1551
Selective inhibition of the nitric oxide synthase isoforms (NOS) is a promising approach for the treatment of various disorders. However, given the high active site conservation among all NOS isoforms, the design of selective inhibitors is a challenging task. Analysis of the X-ray crystal structures of the NOS isoforms complexed with known inhibitors most often gives no clues about the structural determinants behind the selective inhibition since the inhibitors share the same binding conformation. Aimed at a better understanding of the structural factors responsible for selective inhibition of NOS isoforms we have performed MD simulations for iNOS, nNOS and eNOS complexed with Nω-NO2-L-Arg (1), and with the aminopyridine derivatives 2 and 3. The slightly better selectivity of 1 for nNOS may be assigned to the presence of extra charge–charge interactions due to its “extended” conformation. While the high affinity of 2 for iNOS can be explained by the formation of an iNOS-specific subpocket upon binding, the lack of affinity for eNOS is associated to a conformational change in Glu363. The strong van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between 3 and the active site of nNOS are most likely responsible for its higher affinity for this isoform. Owing to the elongated and narrow binding pocket of iNOS, the correct positioning of 3 over the heme group is difficult, which may account for its lower affinity toward this isoform. Brought together, our results might help to rationalize the design of selective NOS inhibitors. Figure

A full-length model of integrase (IN) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was constructed based on the distinctly resolved X-ray crystal structures of its three domains, named N-terminal, catalytic core and C-terminal. Thirty-one already known inhibitors with varieties of structural differences as well as nine newly tested ones were docked into the catalytic core. The molecular dynamic (MD) and binding properties of these complexes were obtained by MD calculations. The binding energies calculated by molecular mechanic/Poisson Boltzmann solvation area were significantly correlationed with available IC50. Four inhibitors including two newly designed were also docked into the full-length model and their MD behaviors and binding properties were calculated. It was found that one of the newly designed compounds forms a better complex with HIV-1 IN compared to the rest including raltegravir. MD calculations were performed with AMBER suite of programs using ff99SB force field for the proteins and the general Amber force field for the ligands. In conclusion, the results have produced a promising standpoint not only in the construction of the full-length model but also in development of new drugs against it. However, the role of multimer formation and the involvement of DNAs, and their subsequent effect on the complexation and inhibition, are required to arrive at a conclusive decision. Figure

The umami taste receptor is a heterodimer composed of two members of the T1R taste receptor family: T1R1 and T1R3. The homology models of the ligand binding domains of the human umami receptor have been constructed based on crystallographic structures of the taste receptor of the central nervous system. Furthermore, the molecular simulations of the ligand binding domain show that the likely conformation was that T1R1 protein exists in the closed conformation, and T1R3 in the open conformation in the heterodimer. The molecular docking study of T1R1 and T1R3 in complex with four peptides, including Lys–Gly–Asp–Glu–Ser–Leu–Leu–Ala, Ser–Glu–Glu, G1u–Ser, and Asp–Glu–Ser, displayed that the amino acid residue of SER146 and Glu277 in T1R3 may play great roles in the synergism of umami taste. This docking result further validated the robustness of the model. In the paper, binding of umami peptide and the T1R1/T1R3 receptor was first described and the interaction is the base of umami activity theory. 相似文献

Background
Binding affinity for human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most important factors affecting the distribution and free blood concentration of many ligands. The effect of fatty acids (FAs) on HSA-ligand binding has long been studied. Since the elucidation of the 3-dimensional structure of HSA, molecular simulation approaches have been applied to studies of the structure–function relationship of HSA–FA binding.Scope of review
We review current insights into the effects of FA binding on HSA, focusing on the biophysical insights obtained using molecular simulation approaches such as docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and binding free energy calculations.Major conclusions
Possible conformational changes on binding of FA molecules to HSA have been observed through MD simulations. High- and low-affinity FA-binding sites on HSA have been identified based on binding free energy calculations. The relationship between the warfarin binding affinity of HSA and FA molecules has been clarified based on the results of simulations of multi-site FA binding that cannot be experimentally observed.General significance
Molecular simulation approaches have great potentials to provide detailed biophysical insights into HSA as well as the effects of the binding of FAs or other ligands to HSA. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin. 相似文献12.
The imine intermediates of tazobactam and sulbactam bound to SHV-1 β-lactamase were investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation respectively. Hydrogen bond networks around active site were found different between tazobactam and sulbactam acyl-enzymes. In tazobactam imine intermediate, it was observed that the triazolyl ring formed stable hydrogen bonds with Asn170 and Thr167. The results suggest that conformation of imine determined the population of intermediates. In imine intermediate of tazobactam, the triazolyl ring is trapped in Thr_Asn pocket, and it restricts the rotation of C5-C6 bond so that tazobactam can only generate trans enamine intermediate. Further, conformational cluster analyses are performed to substantiate the results. These findings provide an explanation for the corresponding experimental results, and will be potentially useful in the development of new inhibitors. Figure

Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic influenza strains have highlighted the need to develop new anti-influenza drugs. Here, we report an in silico study of carvone derivatives to analyze their binding modes with neuraminidase (NA) active sites. Two proposed carvone analogues, CV(A) and CV(B), with 36 designed ligands were predicted to inhibit NA (PDB ID: 3TI6) using molecular docking. The design is based on structural resemblance with the commercial inhibitor, oseltamivir (OTV), ligand polarity, and amino acid residues in the NA active sites. Docking simulations revealed that ligand A18 has the lowest energy binding (?Gbind) value of ?8.30 kcal mol-1, comparable to OTV with ?Gbind of ?8.72 kcal mol-1. A18 formed seven hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) at residues Arg292, Arg371, Asp151, Trp178, Glu227, and Tyr406, while eight H-bonds were formed by OTV with amino acids Arg118, Arg292, Arg371, Glu119, Asp151, and Arg152. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to compare the stability between ligand A18 and OTV with NA. Our simulation study showed that the A18-NA complex is as stable as the OTV-NA complex during the MD simulation of 50 ns through the analysis of RMSD, RMSF, total energy, hydrogen bonding, and MM/PBSA free energy calculations. 相似文献

The interaction between Meropenem drug and human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied under physiological condition in Tris–HCl buffer solution at pH 7.4 by various spectroscopic (UV spectra, fluorescence spectra, CD spectra), Photo–induced HSA cleavage, and molecular docking techniques. The results of fluorescence titration revealed that the Meropenem strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure. Binding constants (Kb) and the number of binding sites (n ? 1) were calculated using modified Stern–Volmer equations. The thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH and ΔS at different temperatures were calculated which revealed that the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions play a major role in HSA–Meropenem association. The distance r between donor (HSA) and acceptor (Meropenem) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the alterations of HSA secondary structure induced by Meropenem were confirmed by FT–IR and CD measurements. The molecular docking technique was utilized to ascertain the mechanism and mode of action towards the molecular target HSA indicating that Meropenem was located within the subdomain IIA of protein by electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds, consistent with the corresponding experimental results. Additionally, Meropenem shows efficient photo–induced HSA cleavage. Our results may provide valuable information to understand the mechanistic pathway of drug delivery and to pharmacological behavior of drug.

The gas phase molecular structure of a single isolated molecule of [Ag(Etnic)2NO3];1 where Etnic = Ethylnicotinate was calculated using B3LYP method. The H-bonding interaction between 1 with one (complex 2) and two (complex 3) water molecules together with the dimeric formula [Ag(Etnic)2NO3]2;4 and the tetrameric formula [Ag(Etnic)2NO3]4;5 were calculated using the same level of theory to model the effect of intermolecular interactions and molecular packing on the molecular structure of the titled complex. The H-bond dissociation energies of complexes 2 and 3 were calculated to be in the range of 12.220–14.253 and 30.106–31.055 kcal?mol?1, respectively, indicating the formation of relatively strong H-bonds between 1 and water molecules. The calculations predict bidentate nitrate ligand in the case of 1 and 2, leading to distorted tetrahedral geometry around the silver ion with longer Ag–O distances in case of 2 compared to 1, while 3 has a unidentate nitrate ligand leading to a distorted trigonal planar geometry. The packing of two [Ag(Etnic)2NO3] complex units; 4 does not affect the molecular geometry around Ag(I) ion compared to 1. In the case of 5, the two asymmetric units of the formula [Ag(Etnic)2NO3] differ in the bonding mode of the nitrate group, where the geometry around the silver ion is distorted tetrahedral in one unit and trigonal planar in the other. The calculations predicted almost no change in the charge densities at the different atomic sites except at the sites involved in the C–H?O interactions as well as at the coordinated nitrogen of the pyridine ring.

We employ ensemble docking simulations to characterize the interactions of two enantiomeric forms of a Ru-complex compound (1-R and 1-S) with three protein kinases, namely PIM1, GSK-3β, and CDK2/cyclin A. We show that our ensemble docking computational protocol adequately models the structural features of these interactions and discriminates between competing conformational clusters of ligand-bound protein structures. Using the determined X-ray crystal structure of PIM1 complexed to the compound 1-R as a control, we discuss the importance of including the protein flexibility inherent in the ensemble docking protocol, for the accuracy of the structure prediction of the bound state. A comparison of our ensemble docking results suggests that PIM1 and GSK-3β bind the two enantiomers in similar fashion, through two primary binding modes: conformation I, which is very similar to the conformation presented in the existing PIM1/compound 1-R crystal structure; conformation II, which represents a 180° flip about an axis through the NH group of the pyridocarbazole moiety, relative to conformation I. In contrast, the binding of the enantiomers to CDK2 is found to have a different structural profile including a suggested bound conformation, which lacks the conserved hydrogen bond between the kinase and the ligand (i.e., ATP, staurosporine, Ru-complex compound). The top scoring conformation of the inhibitor bound to CDK2 is not present among the top-scoring conformations of the inhibitor bound to either PIM1 or GSK-3β and vice-versa. Collectively, our results help provide atomic-level insights into inhibitor selectivity among the three kinases. Figure

Quantum chemical calculations were performed for LiNH2–HMgX (X?=?H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, OH, and NH2) complexes to propose a new interaction mechanism between them. This theoretical survey showed that the complexes are stabilized through the combinative interaction of magnesium and lithium bonds. The binding energies are in the range of 63.2–66.5 kcal mol?1, i.e., much larger than that of the lithium bond. Upon complexation, both Mg–H and Li–N bonds are lengthened. Substituents increase Mg-H bond elongation and at the same time decrease Li-N bond elongation. These cyclic complexes were characterized with the presence of a ring critical point and natural population analysis charges. Figure

The interaction between oxazepam and C60 fullerene was explored using first-principles vdW-DF calculations. It was found that oxazepam binds weakly to the fullerene cage via its carbonyl group. The binding of oxazepam to C60 is affected drastically by nonlocal dispersion interactions, while vdW forces affect the corresponding geometries only a little. Furthermore, aqueous solution affects the geometries of the oxazepam approaching to fullerene slightly, while oxazepam binds slightly farther away from the nanocage. The results presented provide evidence for the applicability of the vdW-DF method and serve as a practical benchmark for the investigation of host–guest interactions in biological systems. Figure
