Mechanism-based inhibition of cytochrome P450 involves the bioactivation of the drug to a reactive metabolite, which leads to cytochrome inhibition via various mechanisms. This is generally seen in the Phase I of drug metabolism. However, gemfibrozil (hypolipidemic drug) leads to mechanism-based inhibition after generating glucuronide conjugate (gemfibrozil acyl-β-glucuronide) in the Phase II m...

Abstract. The triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 has been known as one of the most tenacious cells and paid attention by many researchers. A two-dimension quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) model 131 benzimidazole derivatives was developed to relate chemical–biological interactions predicted half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against line. 2D-QSAR o...

This study explored a series of reported 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors to understand their structural requirements and identify potential new inhibitor scaffolds through automated unbiased procedures. Docking studies have revealed that binding affinity can be influenced by several key interactions with Phe114 Lys116 from chain B Val21, Phe25, His28 Lys29 C in the FLAP-bind...

The objective of this study is to identify novel HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors. Here, shape-based screening and QSAR have been successfully implemented to identify the novel inhibitors for HIV-1 IN, and in silico validation is performed by docking studies. The 2D QSAR model of benzodithiazine derivatives was built using genetic function approximation (GFA) method with good internal (cross-val...

Histone deacetylase 2 is a promising target for drug intervention and its inhibitors are useful in treating cancer. QSAR (2D and 3D) studies were performed on a series of N-(2-Aminophenyl)-Benzamide derivatives using Cerius2 software (accelrys). QSAR study performed on 25 analogues of which 21 were used in the training set and the rest 4 considered for the test set. 2DQSAR study performed using...

Heat shock protein (Hsp90α) has been recently implicated in cancer prompting several attempts to discover and optimize new Hsp90α inhibitors. Toward this end, we explored the pharmacophoric space of 83 Hsp90α inhibitors using six diverse sets of inhibitors to identify high-quality pharmacophores. Subsequently, genetic algorithm and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to select an ...
