Rational design of shepherdin, a novel anticancer agent.
Anticancer agents that selectively kill tumor cells and spare normal tissues are urgently needed. Here, we engineered a cell-permeable peptidomimetic, shepherdin, modeled on the binding interface between the molecular chaperone Hsp90 and the antiapoptotic and mitotic regulator, survivin. Shepherdin makes extensive contacts with the ATP pocket of Hsp90, destabilizes its client proteins, and indu...
متن کاملPodophyllotoxin: a novel potential natural anticancer agent
Objective: The aim of the present review is to give an overview about the role, biosynthesis, and characteristics of Podophyllotoxin (PTOX) as a potential antitumor agent with particular emphasis on key biosynthesis processes, function of related enzymes and characterization of genes encoding the enzymes. Materials and Methods: Google scholar, PubMed and Scopus were searched for literatures wh...
متن کاملDual-Target Anticancer Drug Candidates: Rational Design and Simulation Studies
This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...
