Abstract Chemical entities targeting kinase signalling pathways serve as a potential strategy to combat malignancies. Protein Kinase B or Akt is a validated target for various malignancies and Akt3 remains the least explored isoform among all its isoforms. Initially, homology modelling technique was used for generating protein structure and further validation was performed using molecular dynamics simulation and Ramachandran plot. The validated protein structure was then subjected for active site analysis which led to identification of active site residues based on metrics provided by site score. The important residues in binding site were identified as Thr81, Asp271 and Asp289 for binding energetics and inhibition. Subsequently, virtual screening methodologies were used for identification of novel hits for inhibition of Protein Kinase B or Akt3. This led to the identification of two hits, i.e. thiophene derivative and thieno-pyridine derivative which were selected on the basis of their binding affinity and drug likeliness. These identified hits were subjected for molecular dynamics simulations, quantum mechanical and synthetic accessibility studies. The role of crucial residues in binding site stood validated as suggested by molecular dynamics simulations studies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma 相似文献

This article documents the addition of 83 microsatellite marker loci and 96 pairs of single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Bembidion lampros, Inimicus japonicus, Lymnaea stagnalis, Panopea abbreviata, Pentadesma butyracea, Sycoscapter hirticola and Thanatephorus cucumeris (anamorph: Rhizoctonia solani). These loci were cross‐tested on the following species: Pentadesma grandifolia and Pentadesma reyndersii. This article also documents the addition of 96 sequencing primer pairs and 88 allele‐specific primers or probes for Plutella xylostella. 相似文献

Novel, highly potent small molecule HCV entry inhibitors are reported. The SAR exploration of a hit molecule identified from screening of a compound library led to the identification of highly potent compounds with IC(50) values of <5 nM in the tissue culture HCV infectious assay. 相似文献

Highly potent and selective small molecule neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor antagonists are reported. The systematic SAR exploration of a hit molecule N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-4-[hydroxy(diphenyl)methyl]piperidine-1-carbothioamide, identified from HTS, led to the discovery of highly potent NPY Y2 antagonists 16 (CYM 9484) and 54 (CYM 9552) with IC(50) values of 19 nM and 12 nM respectively. 相似文献

Chitin synthases are critical enzymes for synthesis of chitin and thus for subsequent growth and development in insects. We identified the cDNA of chitin synthase gene (CHS) in Aphis glycines, the soybean aphid, which is a serious pest of soybean. The full-length cDNA of CHS in A. glycines (AyCHS) was 5802 bp long with an open reading frame of 4704 bp that encoded for a 1567 amino acid residues protein. The predicted AyCHS protein had a molecular mass of 180.05 kDa and its amino acid sequence contained all the signature motifs (EDR, QRRRW and TWGTR) of chitin synthases. The quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis revealed that AyCHS was expressed in all major tissues (gut, fat body and integument); however, it had the highest expression in integument (~3.5 fold compared to gut). Interestingly, the expression of AyCHS in developing embryos was nearly 7 fold higher compared to adult integument, which probably is a reflection of embryonic molts in hemimetabolus insects. Expression analysis in different developmental stages of A. glycines revealed a consistent AyCHS expression in all stages. Further, through leaf dip bioassay, we tested the effect of diflubenzuron (DFB, Dimilin ®), a chitin-synthesis inhibitor, on A. glycines'' survival, fecundity and body weight. When fed with soybean leaves previously dipped in 50 ppm DFB solution, A. glycines nymphs suffered significantly higher mortality compared to control. A. glycines nymphs feeding on diflubenzuron treated leaves showed a slightly enhanced expression (1.67 fold) of AyCHS compared to nymphs on untreated leaves. We discussed the potential applications of the current study to develop novel management strategies using chitin-synthesis inhibitors and using RNAi by knocking down AyCHS expression. 相似文献

The present study reports the mixed culture acidogenic production of biohydrogen and carboxylic acids (CA) from brewery spent grains (BSG) in the presence of high concentrations of cobalt, iron, nickel, and zinc. The metals enhanced biohydrogen output by 2.39 times along with CA biosynthesis by 1.73 times. Cobalt and iron promoted the acetate and butyrate pathways, leading to the accumulation of 5.14 gCOD/L of acetic and 11.36 gCOD/L of butyric acid. The production of solvents (ethanol + butanol) was higher with zinc (4.68 gCOD/L) and cobalt (4.45 gCOD/L). A combination of all four metals further enhanced CA accumulation to 42.98 gCOD/L, thus surpassing the benefits accrued from supplementation with individual metals. Additionally, 0.36 and 0.31 mol green ammonium were obtained from protein‐rich brewery spent grain upon supplementation with iron and cobalt, respectively. Metagenomic analysis revealed the high relative abundance of Firmicutes (>90%), of which 85.02% were Clostridium, in mixed metal‐containing reactors. Finally, a significant correlation of dehydrogenase activity with CA and biohydrogen evolution was observed upon metal addition. 相似文献

A series of 1-(1-benzyl-2-methyl-5-((1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanone and ethyl 1-benzyl-2-methyl-5-((1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate derivatives were designed based on bioisosteric replacement of previously reported antitubercular agent (IND-07). Twenty ligands were successfully synthesized and some of them were found to have good in vitro activity (MIC?<?10?μM) against the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among these compounds, KC-08 and KC-11 inhibited Mtb-DHFR with 4- and 18-fold selectivity for Mtb-DHFR over h-DHFR, respectively. Compound KC-11 display acceptable ADME, and better pharmacokinetic profiles than IND-07. Docking studies were performed to predict the binding mode of the compounds within the active site of Mtb-DHFR and h-DHFR. The results of our study suggest that compound KC-11 may serve as a valuable lead for the design and development of selective inhibitors of Mtb-DHFR with potential therapeutic application in tuberculosis. 相似文献
