چکیده
RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt-1) is an enzyme encoded by AKT1 gene in Homo sapiens. Akt-1 is responsible for regulating many cellular processes. An increase in Akt-1 activity inhibits apoptosis leading to cancer. Bexarotene, a retinoid holds a promise to be used in inhibiting cancers. Hesperidin, a flavanoid, can act as an anticarcinogenic agent.. In the present study three-dimensional structure of Akt-1 was successfully modelled using Swiss Model Workspace and validated by Molprobity, Verify 3D, ERRAT2 and ProSA. Molecular docking analysis by iGEMDOCK showed significant binding between the ligands (bexarotene and hesperidin) and Akt-1. Both ligands may be targeted against Akt-1 and after further in vivo investigations these might be used as drugs in cancer treatment.

متن کاملIdentification and Design of Potent Leads for AKT1: Pharmacophore Modeling and Virtual Screening
AKT1 is a serine threonine kinase, which is emerging as a vital target for the treatment of cancer. The aim of this study was to identify novel scaffolds and utilize them in designing potent AKT1 inhibitors. Pharmacophore hypothesis was developed. The high correlating model (r=0.979) with one hydrogen bond acceptor, one hydrogen bond donor, one hydrophobic and one ring aromatic feature was sele...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression amplifies to excess amounts in several disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Although, Anti-TNF biologics have revolutionized the treatment of these autoimmune diseases, formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) has dramatically affected their use. The next generation antibodies (e.g. Fab, scFv) have not only reduced resulted immunoge...
