Identification of Plasmodium falciparum spermidine synthase active site binders through structure-based virtual screening.
Seven novel binders, binding in the active site of Plasmodium falciparum spermidine synthase, were identified by structure-based virtual screening. The binding of these compounds was experimentally verified by NMR techniques. Spermidine synthase, an enzyme involved in the polyamine pathway, has been suggested as a target for treating malaria. The virtual screening protocol combined 3D pharmacop...
متن کاملStructRank: A New Approach for Ligand-Based Virtual Screening
Screening large libraries of chemical compounds against a biological target, typically a receptor or an enzyme, is a crucial step in the process of drug discovery. Virtual screening (VS) can be seen as a ranking problem which prefers as many actives as possible at the top of the ranking. As a standard, current Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models apply regression methods t...
متن کاملNovel toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonists identified by structure- and ligand-based virtual screening.
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in complex with its accessory protein MD-2 represents an emerging target for the treatment of severe sepsis and neuropathic pain. We performed structure-based and ligand-based virtual screening targeting the TLR4-MD-2 interface. Three in silico hit compounds showed promising TLR4 antagonistic activities with micromolar IC50 values. These compounds also suppressed cyt...
متن کاملBiological Characterization of an Improved Pyrrole-Based Colchicine Site Agent Identified through Structure-Based Design.
A refined model of the colchicine site on tubulin was used to design an improved analog of the pyrrole parent compound, JG-03-14. The optimized compound, NT-7-16, was evaluated in biological assays that confirm that it has potent activities as a new colchicine site microtubule depolymerizer. NT-7-16 exhibits antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities against multiple cancer cell lines, with IC(...
متن کاملIdentification of new natural DNA G-quadruplex binders selected by a structure-based virtual screening approach.
The G-quadruplex DNA structures are mainly present at the terminal portion of telomeres and can be stabilized by ligands able to recognize them in a specific manner. The recognition process is usually related to the inhibition of the enzyme telomerase indirectly involved and over-expressed in a high percentage of human tumors. There are several ligands, characterized by different chemical struc...
