Screening 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 کاملResistance 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 کاملTHE DESIGN, MODELING AND EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL HIV PROTEASE INHIBITORS USING BLITZ, AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORKING TOOL
Several nonpeptide small molecules were designed as potential inhibitors of HIV protease and their structures were constructed by computer-aided molecular modeling and docked iwo the active site of HIV protease. Models of the complexes of inhibitors and the HIV protease were refined using nonbonded and H-bonding terms. The refined energy of selected complexes showed that the designed inhib...
متن کاملInhibition of Enterovirus 71 Replication by 7-Hydroxyflavone and Diisopropyl-Flavon7-yl Phosphate
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease, which has been continuously prevalent in Asia in recent years. In children, severe cases can lead to death, and no prophylactic or therapeutic measures against EV71 infection are available. The 3C proteases of EV71 play an important role in viral replication and are an ideal drug target. In previous work, we re...
متن کاملLuteoloside Acts as 3C Protease Inhibitor of Enterovirus 71 In Vitro.
Luteoloside is a member of the flavonoids family that exhibits several bioactivities including anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities. However, the antiviral activity of luteoloside against enterovirus 71 (EV71) and the potential mechanism(s) responsible for this effect remain unknown. In this study, the antiviral potency of luteoloside against EV71 and its inhibitory effects on 3C protease ...
