Spectroscopic studies and molecular modeling for understanding the interactions between cholesterol and cyclodextrins.
PURPOSE Cholesterol is a major lipid constituent of biological membranes which could be included in cyclodextrin (CD) cavities. Solubilization and cell extraction of cholesterol have been previously performed in order to study its interaction with beta-CD and methylated beta-derivatives notably. The present work aims at confirming the formation of inclusion complexes between these CDs and chole...
متن کاملMolecular Modeling Studies of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Inhibitors through Receptor-Based 3D-QSAR and Molecular Dynamics Simulations.
11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) is a potential target for the treatment of numerous human disorders, such as diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. In this work, molecular modeling studies combining molecular docking, 3D-QSAR, MESP, MD simulations and free energy calculations were performed on pyridine amides and 1,2,4-triazolopyridines as 11β-HSD1 inhibitors to explore s...
متن کاملSynthesis, activity, and molecular modeling studies of novel human aldose reductase inhibitors based on a marine natural product.
Aldose reductase (ALR2) has been implicated in the etiology of diabetic complications, including blindness. Because of the limited number of currently available drugs for the prevention of these long-term complications, the discovery of new ALR2 inhibitors appears highly desirable. In this study, a polybrominated diphenyl ether (1) naturally occurring in a marine sponge was found to inhibit rec...
متن کاملMolecular Docking Based on Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics and Atoms in Molecules Studies to Identify the Potential Human Epidermal Receptor 2 Intracellular Domain Inhibitors
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family having tyrosine kinase activity. Overexpression of HER2 usually causes malignant transformation of cells and is responsible for the breast cancer. In this work, the virtual screening, molecular docking, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics methods were employed to study protein–ligand ...
متن کاملMOLECULAR MODELING AND NMR STUDY OF HISTDINIE AND ITS ANALOGUES AS , PYRIDOXAL 5 '-PHOSPHATE DEPENDENT HISTIDINE DECARBOXYLASE INHIBITORS
Molecular modeling analysis of charge density and heat of fornation by PM3 method as well as C, H NMR and 2D-NMR measurements of histidine (substrate) and some of its derivatives as histidine decarboxylase inhibitors were performed. It was established that the atom, usually nitrogen, which forms internal aldimine with pyridoxal5 -phosphate (PLP), (coenzyme), has negative and almost equal ...
