Resistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملScreening Efficacy of Available HIV Protease Inhibitors on COVID-19 Protease
Background and Aim: Advent of COVID-19 attracted the attentions of researchers to develop drugs for its treatment. Besides efforts on developing new drugs, screening available drugs for efficacy on COVID-19 could be an urgent action of initiating its pharmacotherapy. In this study, efficacy of HIV protease inhibitors on COVID-19 protease has been examined. Methods: Molecular docking based scree...
متن کاملProtease Inhibitors: Emphasizing Functional Aspects of Aspartic Protease Inhibitors
Aspartic proteases are relatively a small group of proteolytic enzymes. Over the last decade, they have received tremendous research interest as potential targets for pharmaceutical intervention as many have been shown to play significant roles in physiological and pathological processes. Despite numerous efforts, however, the only inhibitors for aspartic proteases currently in the market are d...
متن کاملNew functions of lactoferrin and beta-casein in mammalian milk as cysteine protease inhibitors.
We found new inhibitory function of lactoferrin and beta-casein in milk against cysteine proteases using reverse zymography. The inhibition of cathepsin L by lactoferrin was strongest and the inhibition kinetics were of a non-competitive type. Heat denatured lactoferrin lost the inhibitory activity completely, therefore the tertiary structure is essential to show the inhibition. Native lactofer...
متن کاملDysregulation of Protease and Protease Inhibitors in a Mouse Model of Human Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Mice deficient for the fibulin-5 gene (Fbln5(-/-)) develop pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to compromised elastic fibers and upregulation of matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-9. Here, we used casein zymography, inhibitor profiling, affinity pull-down, and mass spectrometry to discover additional protease upregulated in the vaginal wall of Fbln5(-/-) mice, herein named V1 (25 kDa). V1 was a serine pr...
