Protein-Ligand interaction studies on 2, 4, 6- trisubstituted triazine derivatives as anti-malarial DHFR agents using AutoDock

چکیده
The dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain of P. falciparum is one of the few well defined targets in malarial chemotherapy. The enzyme catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) dependent reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. Protein-ligand interactions were studied using DHFR protein 2BL9, extracted from PDB to evaluate the strength of affinity of various molecules towards ligand binding site and to study the extent of correlation between experimental values and computational dock scores. AutoDock runs resulted in binding energy scores from -7.14 to -10.72 kcal/mol. Among the five inhibitors (Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters 15 2005 531-533) selected for docking studies, an excellent correlation was observed in all cases, for instance, experimentally reported most active molecule 2a (MIC: 1µg/ml) showed a high dock score (-10.72 kcal/mol) than the remaining inhibitors. Therefore, molecular docking using AutoDock suggests the importance of evaluating the prediction accuracy of various molecules as evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.961 between experimental activities and AutoDock binding energies.

Design and Docking Study of Some Pyrimidine derivatives as Antimalarial Agents
Background and Aim: According to the latest estimate published by the World Health Organization in 2017, there are 219 million malaria cases and 435,000 deaths. With the emergence of drug-resistant strains in malaria, there is a need for new drug targets every time. In this study, the design and docking study of the pyrimidine derivatives for inhibiting Methionine aminopeptidase1B enzyme (Metap...

Gram-negative bacteria are implicated in the causation of life-threatening hospital-acquired infections. They acquire rapid resistance to multiple drugs and available antibiotics. Hence, there is the need to discover new antibacterial agents with novel scaffolds. For the first time, this study explores the 1,3,5triazine-2,4-diamine and 1,2,4-triazine-2,4-diamine group of compounds as potential ...

We describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of newly designed 2,4,6-trisubstituted symmetrical 1,3,5-triazine (TAZ) derivatives. Among the tested trisubstituted symmetrical TAZ derivatives, various C3- or CS-symmetrical alkoxy-amino-substituted TAZ derivatives showed significant antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and/or cytotoxic activity against Vero cells. ...
