Structural and Chemical Basis for Anticancer Activity of a Series of β-Tubulin Ligands: Molecular Modeling and 3D QSAR Studies

چکیده
Uma estratégia importante para a terapia do câncer é o planejamento de modulares que interferem na dinâmica dos microtúbulos através de sua ligação específica à subunidade β da tubulina. No presente trabalho, estudos de análise comparativa dos campos moleculares (CoMFA) foram realizados com uma série de análogos do discodermolídeo com ação antimitótica. Resultados significativos foram obtidos (CoMFA (i) , q = 0,68, r = 0,94; CoMFA (ii) , q = 0,63, r = 0,91), indicando a elevada consistência interna e externa dos modelos gerados empregando duas estratégias independentes de alinhamento estrutural. Os modelos foram validados externamente com um conjunto teste e os valores preditos apresentaram boa concordância com os resultados experimentais. Os modelos de QSAR e os mapas de contorno 3D forneceram importantes informações sobre as bases químicas e estruturais envolvidas no processo de reconhecimento molecular dessa família de análogos do discodermolídeo, sendo uma valiosa ferramenta no planejamento de novos moduladores específicos da β-tubulina com potente atividade antitumoral.

The expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) as a chaperone protein, is increased in response to various stress stimuli such as anticancer chemotherapy. This phenomenon can lead to survive of the cells and causes drug resistance. In this study, a series of methanesulfonamide derivatives as dual Hsp27 and tubulin inhibitors in the treatment of cancer were applied to quantitative structure–act...

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a simple and small anticancer drug that arouses the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) through inhibition of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). DCA can selectively promote mitochondria-regulated apoptosis, depolarizing the hyperpolarized inner mitochondrial membrane potential to normal levels, inhibit tumor growth and reduce proliferati...
