Drug repurposing for coronavirus (COVID-19): in silico screening of known drugs against coronavirus 3CL hydrolase and protease enzymes
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020)
In December 2019, COVID-19 epidemic was described in Wuhan, China, and the infection has spread widely affecting hundreds of thousands. Herein, an effort was made to identify commercially available drugs in order to repurpose ...
Discovery of novel isoform-selective histone deacetylases 5 and 9 inhibitors through combined ligand-based pharmacophore modeling, molecular mocking, and molecular dynamics simulations for cancer treatment
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) 5 and 9 play crucial roles in several human disorders such as cancer, making them important targets for drug design. Continuous research is pursed to overcome the cytotoxicity side ...
Structure-based virtual screening for novel potential selective inhibitors of class IIa histone deacetylases for cancer treatment
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
The fundamental cause of human cancer is strongly influenced by down- or up-regulations of epigenetic factors. Upregulated histone deacetylases (HDAC) have been shown to be effectively neutralized by the action of HDACs ...
Potential inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidase type II identified via structure-based pharmacophore modeling
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP2) is a metal-containing enzyme that removes initiator methionine from the N-terminus of a newly synthesized protein. Inhibition of the enzyme is crucial in diminishing cancer growth and ...
