In silico identification and biochemical characterization of novel inhibitors of NQO1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
From in silico docking and COMPARE analysis, novel inhibitors of human NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) have been identified from the NCI compound database, the most potent of which has an observed IC(50) of 0.7muM. The inhibitors exhibit a diverse range of scaffolds. The ability of docking calculations to predict experimentally determined binding affinities for NQO1 is discussed, considering the influence of target flexibility and scoring function.

متن کاملIn Silico Screening Studies on Methanesulfonamide Derivatives as Dual Hsp27 and Tubulin Inhibitors Using QSAR and Molecular Docking
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...
