چکیده
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)-associated co-infections like “Aspergillosis”, has recently baffled the world. Due to its key role in cell wall synthesis, present study UDP-glycosyltransferase, glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase and chitin have been chosen as appropriate targets for molecular docking. The objective of was docking eucalyptus essential oil component 1,8 cineole against enzymes followed by vitro validation. For docking, patch-dock web based online tool used. Ligand–Protein 2D 3D Interactions were also studied. Drug likeliness, toxicity profile cancer line Molecular results indicated that form hydrogen bonding hydrophobic interactions with enzymes. depicted drug likeliness showing compliance LIPINSKY rule, sufficient level bioactivity thus signifying a potent anti-fungal drug.

Molecular docking of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase in Rhizopus oryzae
Recent expansion of immunocompromised population has led to significant rise in zygomycosis caused by filamentous fungus Rhizopus oryzae. Due to emergence of fungal resistance and side-effects of antifungal drugs, there is increased demand for novel drug targets. The current study elucidates molecular interactions of peptide drugs with G-6-P synthase (catalyzing the rate-limiting step of fungal...
متن کاملGlucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, a novel target for antifungal agents. Molecular modelling studies in drug design.
Fungal infections are a growing problem in contemporary medicine, yet only a few antifungal agents are used in clinical practice. In our laboratory we proposed the enzyme L-glutamine: D-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) as a new target for antifungals. The structure of this enzyme consists of two domains, N-terminal and C-terminal ones, catalysing glutamine hydrolysis and suga...
متن کاملLong range molecular dynamics study of regulation of eukaryotic glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase activity by UDP-GlcNAc
Glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN-6-P) synthase catalyses the first and practically irreversible step in hexosamine metabolism. The final product of this pathway, uridine 5' diphospho N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), is an essential substrate for assembly of bacterial and fungal cell walls. Moreover, the enzyme is involved in phenomenon of hexosamine induced insulin resistance in type II diabet...
متن کاملGlucosamine 6-phosphate synthase of regenerating rat liver.
When rats were subjected to partial hepatectomy, glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase (EC 5.3.1.19) of the remaining liver underwent alterations both in activity and in molecular form. To study the molecular alterations, glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase was purified from regenerating as well as control liver and was analyzed by isoelectric focusing. Although control liver exhibited only one form of...
متن کاملGlucosamine-6-phosphate synthase--the multi-facets enzyme.
L-Glutamine: D-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase, known under trivial name of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, as the only member of the amidotransferase subfamily of enzymes, does not display any ammonia-dependent activity. This enzyme, catalysing the first committed step in a pathway leading to the eventual formation of uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), is an impo...
