A series of hybrid aldimine‐type Schiff base derivatives including trimethoxyphenyl ring and 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol/thione were designed as tubulin inhibitors. The molecular docking simulations on tubulin complex (PDB: 1SA0) revealed that derivatives with nitro and/or chloro or dimethylamino substitutes (4‐nitro, 2‐nitro, 3‐nitro, 4‐Cl‐3‐nitro, and 4‐Me2N) on the aldehyde ring were the best compounds with remarkable binding energies (?9.09, ?9.07, ?8.63, ?8.11, and ?8.07 kcal mol?1, respectively) compared to colchicine (?8.12 kcal mol?1). These compounds were also showed remarkable binding energies from ?10.66 to ?9.79 and ?10.12 to ?8.95 kcal mol?1 on human (PDB: 1PD8) and Candida albicans (PDB: 3QLS) DHFR, respectively. The obtained results of cytotoxic activities against HT1080, HepG2, HT29, MCF‐7, and A549 cancer cell lines indicated that 4‐nitro and 2‐nitro substituted compounds were the most effective agents by mean IC50 values of 11.84 ± 1.01 and 19.92 ± 1.36 μm , respectively. 4‐Nitro substituted compound (5 μm ) and 2‐nitro substituted compound (30 μm ) were able to strongly inhibit the tubulin polymerization compared to colchicine (5 μm ) and 4‐nitro substituted compound displayed IC50 values of 0.16 ± 0.01 μm compared to that of colchicine (0.19 ± 0.01 μm ). This compound also showed the lowest MIC values on all tested microbial strains including three Gram‐positive, four Gram‐negative, and three yeast pathogens. 相似文献

As a serine/threonine protein kinase, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is an essential component of several cellular processes, including insulin, growth factor, and Wnt signaling. The conserved K85 is important to GSK3β activity and FRATide binding. To elucidate the mechanisms concerning kinase inactivation and nonbinding of FRATide to GSK3β, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, molecular mechanics generalized Born/surface area (MM_GBSA) calculation, and normal mode analysis (NMA) were performed on both the wild-type (WT) and the K85M mutation of the GSK3β-FRATide complex. The results revealed that the periodic open-closed conformational change of the G loop, together with the compact conformation of the RD pocket, was disturbed in the K85M mutant, in contrast to those in the WT. This in turn caused inhibition of GSK3β. Specifically, the correct folding pattern of GSK3β was disrupted in the K85M mutant, resulting in the loss of two key hydrogen bonds between K214 of FRATide and E290 and K292 of GSK3β, respectively. Furthermore, MM_GBSA calculations indicated that the K85M mutation could lead to a less energy-favorable GSK3β-FRATide complex. In addition, NMA demonstrated that the "rocking" of the N- and C-terminal domains of GSK3β, which coordinates the mutual movement of both lobes, inducing the opening and closing of the active site of GSK3β, which may assist the entry of ATP into the ATP binding site and the release of the ADP product. Strikingly, this phenomenon was not clearly observed in the K85M mutation. This study provides a structural basis for the effect of the K85M mutation on the GSK3β-FRATide complex. 相似文献

Structural biology of kinase and in particular of tyrosine kinase has given detailed insights into the intrinsic flexibility of the catalytic domain and has provided a rational basis for obtaining selective inhibitors. In this paper, we have studied the conformational flexibility of c-Abl tyrosine kinase complexed with Imatinib (STI), in the presence of TIP3P water in physiological conditions at neutral pH. The conformational studies suggest that the flexibility of activation loop is responsible to facilitate the nucleotide binding and release. Owing to the conformational adaptability, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binds at a particular site in the loop region of the tyrosine kinase. The molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area methods are analysed, as is a free-energy pathways method, which shows the stable binding with free energy ? 6.04 kcal/mol for STI. The binding energy calculated by the Sietraj method is approximately the same as the experimental binding energy of STI with c-Abl kinase. It is suggested that the conserved glutamic acid and lysine residues are necessary for the stability and optimum activity of inhibitor. This study may be helpful in rational drug designing of new kinase inhibitors. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) free energy calculations were used to study the binding of testosterone (TES), 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5ADHT), androstenedione (AND), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) to the monoclonal antitestosterone antibody 3-C(4)F(5). The relative binding free energy of TES and AND was also calculated with free energy perturbation (FEP) simulations. The antibody 3-C(4)F(5) has a relatively high affinity (3 x 10(8) M(-1)) and on overall good binding profile for testosterone but its cross-reactivity with DHEAS has been the main reason for the failure to use this antibody in clinical immunoassays. The relative binding free energies obtained with the MM-PBSA method were 1.5 kcal/mol for 5ADHT, 3.8 kcal/mol for AND, and 4.3 kcal/mol for DHEAS, as compared to TES. When a water molecule of the ligand binding site, observed in the antibody-TES crystal structure, was explicitly included in MM-PBSA calculations, the relative binding energies were 3.4, 4.9, and 5.4 kcal/mol for 5ADHT, AND, and DHEAS, respectively. The calculated numbers are in correct order but larger than the corresponding experimental energies of 1.3, 1.5, and 2.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The fact that the MM-PBSA method reproduced the relative binding free energies of DHEAS, a steroid having a negatively charged sulfate group, and the neutrally charged TES, 5ADHT, and AND in satisfactory agreement with experiment shows the robustness of the method in predicting relative binding affinities. The 800-ps FEP simulations predicted that the antibody 3-C(4)F(5) binds TES 1.3 kcal/mol tighter than AND. Computational mutagenesis of selected amino acid residues of the ligand binding site revealed that the lower affinities of AND and DHEAS as compared to TES are due to a combined effect of several residues, each contributing a small fraction to the tighter binding of TES. An exception to this is Tyr99H, whose mutation to Ala lowered the binding of DHEAS 0.7 kcal/mol more than the binding of TES. This is probably due to the hydrogen bonding interaction formed between the OH group of Tyr99H and the sulfate group of DHEAS. Computational mutagensis data also showed that the affinity of the steroids to the antitestosterone antibody 3-C(4)F(5) would be enhanced if Trp47H were repositioned so that it would make more extensive contacts with the bound ligands. In addition, the binding of steroids to antitestosterone, antiprogesterone, and antiestradiol antibodies is discussed. 相似文献

Revealing selectivity mechanism of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and their inhibitors is an important issue to develop potential anticancer drugs. The substituted 4-(Pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidines are potent inhibitors of CDK4 but not of the highly homologous CDK2. In order to reveal the inhibitory selectivity of these inhibitors to CDK4 over CDK2, we select one of substituted 4-(Pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidines as a representative (marked as A1 hereunder) and perform molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy analysis for CDK4/A1 and CDK2/A1, respectively. The electrostatic and van der Waals (vdW) interactions of the A1 inhibitor with CDK4/CDK2 are discussed. The computed binding free energies based on the MM-PBSA method are consistent with experimental bioactivity ranking of A1 inhibitor to CDK4/CDK2. On the other hand, the conformational characteristics of CDK2 and CDK4 induced by A1 inhibitor are analysed and revealed. Results demonstrate that the vdW interactions considerably contribute to binding of CDK4/CDK2 with A1 inhibitor and are similar in size. The hydrogen bonding between A1 inhibitor and CDK4/CDK2 is considerably favourable to the binding, in which the hydrogen bond between the NH group of the pyrazole group of A1 and the residue Asp158 of CDK4 plays a crucial role in inhibitory selectivity of A1 inhibitor to CDK4 over CDK2. The electrostatic interaction energy differences between the corresponding residues of CDK4/A1 and CDK2/A1 confirm the above inference. The conformational changes of CDK2 and CDK4 induced by A1 inhibitor influence the selectivity of A1 inhibitor to CDK4/CDK2. 相似文献

Cyclin D3 regulates the G1/S transition and is frequently overexpressed in several cancer types including breast cancer, where it promotes tumor progression. Here we show that a cytoskeletal protein keratin 19 (K19) physically interacts with a serine/threonine kinase GSK3β and prevents GSK3β-dependent degradation of cyclin D3. The absence of K19 allowed active GSK3β to accumulate in the nucleus and degrade cyclin D3. Specifically, the head (H) domain of K19 was required to sustain inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK3β Ser9, prevent nuclear accumulation of GSK3β, and maintain cyclin D3 levels and cell proliferation. K19 was found to interact with GSK3β and K19–GSK3β interaction was mapped out to require Ser10 and Ser35 residues on the H domain of K19. Unlike wildtype K19, S10A and S35A mutants failed to maintain total and nuclear cyclin D3 levels and induce cell proliferation. Finally, we show that the K19–GSK3β-cyclin D3 pathway affected sensitivity of cells toward inhibitors to cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6). Overall, these findings establish a role for K19 in the regulation of GSK3β-cyclin D3 pathway and demonstrate a potential strategy for overcoming resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. 相似文献

The pluripotent mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line P19 is widely used as a model for research on all-trans-retinoid acid (RA)-induced neuronal differentiation; however, the signaling pathways involved in this process remain unclear. This study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the RA-induced neuronal differentiation of P19 cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were used to determine the expression of neuronal-specific markers, whereas flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle and cell apoptosis. The expression profiles of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in RA-induced neuronal differentiation of P19 cells were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing, and the functions of differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) were determined by bioinformatics analysis. RA induced an increase in both class III β-tubulin (TUBB3) and neurofilament medium (NEFM) mRNA expression, indicating that RA successfully induces neuronal differentiation of P19 cells. Cell apoptosis was not affected; however, cell proliferation decreased. We found 4117 DEMs, which were enriched in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, and cell cycle. Particularly, a few DEMs could be identified in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway networks, such as PI3K, Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), P21, and Bax. RA significantly increased the protein expression of PI3K, Akt, phosphorylated Akt, GSK3β, phosphorylated GSK3β, CDK4, and P21, but it reduced Bax protein expression. The Akt inhibitor affected the increase of TUBB3 and NEFM mRNA expression in RA-induced P19 cells. The molecular mechanism underlying the RA-induced neuronal differentiation of P19 cells is potentially involved in the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway. The decreased cell proliferation ability of neuronally differentiated P19 cells could be associated with the expression of cell cycle proteins. 相似文献

PTEN, a tumor suppressor protein, gets deactivated by casein kinase 2 (CK2) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which are the major causes of PI3K/AKT-driven tumors. To surmount this problem, the multi-target inhibitor strategy may be of great significance. The goal of this study was to design dual-target inhibitors of CK2 and GSK3β using a combination of pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking studies. The common feature-based (qualitative) and 3DQSAR-based (quantitative) pharmacophore models were generated and validated. The best pharmacophore models (Pharm18 and Hypo1) comprised two hydrogen-bond acceptors, one hydrophobic, and one ring aromatic features. The models were used to screen various chemical database and top mapped compounds from each database were selected. They were processed for Lipinski filter, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis, and docking studies. We have obtained six hits with comparable dock score to the reported inhibitors. We have concluded Hit15 as a competent candidate based on its docking and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. It showed 140.73 and 130.79 dock score in CK2 and GSK3β, respectively. The electronic property of Hit 15 showed the lowest energy gap (0.021) compared to other hits and active ligands which suggest its higher reactivity. In conclusion, this study may assist in the development of new potent dual kinase inhibitors of CK2 and GSK3β. Also, the overture effort of combined qualitative and quantitative modeling for the development of multi-target inhibitors may support the future endeavors. 相似文献

The pyrrolotriazin derivative 2-(4-(4-((7-(3-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)phenyl)pyrrolo [2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)acetamide (PPA) is a potential Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor. The binding mode between PPA and JAK2 was investigated by using a combined method of docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and binding free-energy calculation. The docking calculations preliminarily indicated that there were two possible binding modes 1 and 2; MD simulations and binding free-energy calculations identified that binding mode 1 was more stable and favourable, with the lower MM-PBSA binding free energy of ?34.00?±?0.17?kcal/mol. Moreover, some valuable binding information is revealed as follows: the inhibitor PPA is suitably located at the ATP-binding site of JAK2 and the hydrophobic interaction plays an essential role. PPA not only interacts with residues Leu855, Val863, Ala880, Tyr931, Leu932 and Leu983 via hydrophobic interaction but also interacts with Ser936 and Asp994 by hydrogen bonds. These two factors are advantageous for PPA to strongly bind to JAK2. These results help to understand the action mechanisms and designing new compounds with a higher affinity to JAK2. 相似文献

We have tested a computational protocol based on molecular mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) free-energy calculations to examine the detailed microscopic structures and binding free energies for the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDHc) E1 binding with its ligands (cofactor and inhibitors). The calculated binding free energies are all in good agreement with available experimental data, with an average absolute deviation of approximately 0.7 kcal/mol, suggesting that the computational protocol tested may be valuable in future rational design of new, more potent inhibitors of PDHc E1. 相似文献

Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) is a tyrosine kinase that regulates the G2 checkpoint and prevents entry into mitosis in response to DNA damage. Based on a series of signaling pathways initiated by Wee1, Wee1 has been recognized as a potential target for cancer therapy. To discover potent Wee1 inhibitors with novel scaffolds, ligand-based pharmacophore model has been built based on 101 known Wee1 inhibitors. Then the best pharmacophore model, AADRRR.340, with good partial least square (PLS) statistics (R2?=?0.9212, Q2?=?0.7457), was selected and validated. The validated model was used as a three-dimensional (3D) search query for databases virtual screening. The filtered molecules were further analyzed and refined by Lipinski’s rule of 5, multiple docking procedures (high throughput virtual screening (HTVS), standard precision (SP), genetic optimization for ligand docking (GOLD), extra precision (XP), and unique quantum polarized ligand docking (QPLD)); absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) screening; and the Prime/molecular mechanics generalized born surface area (MM-GBSA) method binding free energy calculations. Eight leads were identified as potential Wee1 inhibitors, and a 50?ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for top four inhibitors to predict the stability of ligand–protein complex. Molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) based on MD simulation and the energy contribution per residue to the binding energy were calculated. In the end, three hits with good stabilization and affinity to protein were identified.

Although Tau accumulation is a feature of several neurodegenerative conditions, treatment options for these conditions are nonexistent. Targeting Tau kinases represents a potential therapeutic approach. Small molecules in the diaminothiazole class are potent Tau kinase inhibitors that target CDK5 and GSK3β. Lead compounds from the series have IC50 values toward CDK5/p25 and GSK3β in the low nanomolar range and no observed toxicity in the therapeutic dose range. Neuronal protective effects and decreased PHF-1 immunoreactivity were observed in two animal models, 3×Tg-AD and CK-p25. Treatment nearly eliminated Sarkosyl-insoluble Tau with the most prominent effect on the phosphorylation at Ser-404. Treatment also induced the recovery of memory in a fear conditioning assay. Given the contribution of both CDK5/p25 and GSK3β to Tau phosphorylation, effective treatment of tauopathies may require dual kinase targeting. 相似文献

Rational modification of known drug candidates to design more potent ones using computational methods has found application in drug design, development, and discovery. Herein, we integrate computational and theoretical methodologies to unveil rivastigmine derivatives as dual inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) management. The investigation entails pharmacokinetics screening, density functional theory (DFT) mechanistic study, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We designed over 20 rivastigmine substituents, subject them to some analyses, and identified RL2 with an appreciable blood-brain barrier score and no permeability glycoprotein binding. The compound shows higher acylation energy and a favored binding affinity to the cholinesterase enzymes. RL2 interacts with the AChE and BuChE active sites showing values of −41.1/−39.5 kcal mol−1 while rivastigmine binds with −32.7/−30.7 kcal mol−1 for these enzymes. The study revealed RL2 (4-fluorophenyl rivastigmine) as a potential dual inhibitor for AChE and BuChE towards Alzheimer's disorder management. 相似文献

AbstractBenzodipyrazoles have been previously evaluated for their in vitro CDK2 inhibitory activity. In the current investigation, we identified a six-feature common pharmacophore model (AADDRR.33) which is predicted to be responsible for CDK2 inhibition. An efficient 3D QSAR (r2?=?0.98 and q2?=?0.82) model was also constructed by employing PLS regression analysis. From the molecular docking studies, we examined the binding patterns of compound 7aa with the target protein and also calculated the binding energy using MM-GBSA calculations. Three hydrogen bonds with Lys 33, Glu 81, and Leu 83 are conserved even after 1000?ps run in a molecular dynamics simulation. We identified the slight displacement in bond lengths and the conformational changes occurred during the dynamics. The results also elucidated the protein residue–ligand interaction fractions which clearly explained the involvement of non-H-bond interactions. 相似文献

BACE-1 and GSK-3β both are potential therapeutic drug targets for Alzheimer’s disease. Recently, both these targets received attention for designing dual inhibitors. Till now only two scaffolds (triazinone and curcumin) derivatives have been reported as BACE-1 and GSK-3β dual inhibitors. In our previous work, we have reported first in class dual inhibitor for BACE-1 and GSK-3β. In this study, we have explored other naphthofuran derivatives for their potential to inhibit BACE-1 and GSK-3β through docking, molecular dynamics, binding energy (MM-PBSA). These computational methods were performed to estimate the binding affinity of naphthofuran derivatives towards the BACE-1 and GSK-3β. In the docking results, two derivatives (NS7 and NS9) showed better binding affinity as compared to previously reported inhibitors. Hydrogen bond occupancy of NS7 and NS9 generated from MD trajectories showed good interaction with the flap residues Gln73, Thr72 of BACE-1 and Arg141, Thr138 residues of GSK-3β. MM-PBSA and energy decomposition per residue revealed different components of binding energy and relative importance of amino acid involved in binding. The results showed that the binding of inhibitors was majorly governed by the hydrophobic interactions and suggesting that hydrophobic interactions might be the key to design dual inhibitors for BACE1-1 and GSK-3β. Distance between important pair of amino acid residues indicated that BACE-1 and GSK-3β adopt closed conformation and become inactive after ligand binding. The results suggested that naphthofuran derivatives might act as dual inhibitor against BACE-1 and GSK-3β. 相似文献

A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out to characterize the dynamic evolution of void defects in crystalline octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetrazocine (HMX). Different models were constructed with the same concentration of vacancies (10 %) to discuss the size effects of void. Energetic ground state properties were determined by annealing simulations. The void formation energy per molecule removed was found to be 55–63 kcal/mol?1, and the average binding energy per molecule was between 32 and 34 kcal/mol?1 according to the change in void size. Voids with larger size had lower formation energy. Local binding energies for molecules directly on the void surface decreased greatly compared to those in defect-free lattice, and then gradually increased until the distance away from the void surface was around 10 Å. Analysis of 1 ns MD simulations revealed that the larger the void size, the easier is void collapse. Mean square displacements (MSDs) showed that HMX molecules that had collapsed into void present liquid structure characteristics. Four unique low-energy conformers were found for HMX molecules in void: two whose conformational geometries corresponded closely to those found in HMX polymorphs and two, additional, lower energy conformers that were not seen in the crystalline phases. The ratio of different conformers changed with the simulated temperature, in that the ratio of α conformer increased with the increase in temperature. 相似文献

Interaction mechanisms of human serum albumin (HSA) with safranal and crocin were studied using UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence quenching and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies as well as molecular docking techniques. Changes in absorbance and fluorescence of HSA upon interactions with both compounds were attributed to their binding to amino acid chromophores located in subdomains IIA and IIIA. Fluorescence secondary inner filter effect was excluded using 278 nm and 340 nm as the wavelengths of HSA's excitation and fluorescence while safranal and crocin absorbed at 320 nm and 445 nm, respectively. Stern-Volmer model revealed a static quenching mechanism involve the formation of non-fluorescent ground state complexes. Stern-Volmer, Hill, Benesi-Hilbrand and Scatchard models gave apparent binding constants ranged in 4.25 × 103 - 2.15 × 105 for safranal and 7.67 × 103 - 4.23 × 105 L mol?1 for crocin. CD measurements indicated that 13 folds of safranal and crocin unfolded the α-helix structure of HSA by 7.47–21.20%. In-silico molecular docking revealed selective exothermic binding of safranal on eight binding sites with binding energies ranged in ?3.969 to ?6.6.913 kcal/mol. Crocin exothermally bound to a new large pocket located on subdomain IIA (sudlow 1) with binding energy of ?12.922 kcal/mol.These results confirmed the formation of HSA stable complexes with safranal and crocin and contributed to our understanding for their binding characteristics (affinities, sites, modes, forces … etc.) and structural changes upon interactions. They also proved that HSA can solubilize and transport both compounds in blood to target tissues. The results are of high importance in determining the pharmacological properties of the two phytochemical compounds and for their future developments as anticancer, antispasmodic, antidepressant or aphrodisiac therapeutic agents. 相似文献

A set of supramolecular cage-structures—spherophanes—was studied at the density functional B3LYP level. Full geometrical structure optimisations were made with 6–31G and 6–31G(d) basis sets followed by frequency calculations, and electronic energies were evaluated at B3LYP/6–31++G(d,p). Three different symmetries were considered: C1, Ci, and Oh. It was found that the bonds between the benzene rings are very long to allow π-electron delocalisation between them. These spherophanes show portal openings of 2.596 Å in Spher1, 4.000 Å in Meth2, 3.659 Å in Oxa3, and 4.412 Å in Thia4. From the point of view of potential host–guest interaction studies, it should also be noted that the atoms nearest to the centre of the cavities are carbons bonded to X groups. These supramolecules seem to exhibit relatively large gap HOMO?LUMO: 2.89 eV(Spher1), 5.26 eV(Meth2), 5.73 eV(Oxa3), and 4.82 eV(Thia4). The calculated ΔH°f (298.15 K) values at B3LYP/6–31G(d) are (in kcal mol?1) 750.98, 229.78, ?10.97, and 482.49 for Spher1, Meth2, Oxa3, and Thia4, respectively. Using homodesmotic reactions, relative to Spher1, the spherophanes Meth2, Oxa3, and Thia4 are less strained by ?399.13 kcal mol?1, ?390.40 kcal mol?1, and ?411.38 kcal mol?1, respectively. Their infrared and 13C NMR calculated spectra are reported. 相似文献
