Complementarity of delta opioid ligand pharmacophore and receptor models.
The elaboration of a pharmacophore model for the delta opioid receptor selective ligand JOM-13 (Tyr-c[D-Cys-Phe-D-Pen]OH) and the parallel, independent development of a structural model of the delta receptor are summarized. Although the backbone conformation of JOM-13's tripeptide cycle is well defined, considerable conformational lability is evident in the Tyr(1) residue and in the Phe(3) side...
متن کاملGeneration of a homology model of the human histamine H3 receptor for ligand docking and pharmacophore-based screening
The human histamine H(3) receptor (hH(3)R) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), which modulates the release of various neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous system and therefore is a potential target in the therapy of numerous diseases. Although ligands addressing this receptor are already known, the discovery of alternative lead structures represents an important goal in d...
متن کاملLigand-based pharmacophore modeling to identify plant-derived acetylcholinesterase inhibitor natural compounds in Alzheimer’s disease
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by decreased cognitive function in patients due to forming Aβ peptides and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain. Therefore, the need to develop new treatments can reduce this risk. Acetylcholinesterase is one of the targets used in the design of new drugs for the treatment of AD. The researchers obtain new i...
متن کاملA New Method of Computing Ligand-Based Pharmacophore Models for Flexible Chemical Compounds
A detection of the three-dimensional binding mode between a protein and a chemical compound is valuable to optimize drug candidates for high-throughput screening. Pharmacophore models are essential functional groups of atoms in the proper three-dimensional position to interact with a given receptor, and widely used for drug design. Recent pharmacophore models can be classified into two categori...
متن کاملpharmACOphore: multiple flexible ligand alignment based on ant colony optimization
The flexible superimposition of biologically active ligands is a crucial step in ligand-based drug design. Here we present pharmACOphore, a new approach for pairwise as well as multiple flexible alignment of ligands based on ant colony optimization (ACO; Dorigo, M.; Stützle, T. Ant Colony Optimization; MIT Press: Cambridge, MA, USA, 2004). An empirical scoring function is used, which describes ...
