Identification of potential inhibitors of human methionine aminopeptidase (type II) for cancer therapy: Structure-based virtual screening, ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics studies
(Elsevier, 2020)
Methionine Aminopeptidases MetAPs are divalent-cofactor dependent enzymes that are responsible for the cleavage of the initiator Methionine from the nascent polypeptides. MetAPs are classified into two isoforms: namely, ...
Synthesis Molecular Modelling and Antibacterial Activity Against Helicobacter pylori of Novel Diflunisal Derivatives as Urease Enzyme Inhibitors
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2019)
Background: The main factor for the prolongation of the ulcer treatment in the gastrointestinal system would be Helicobacter pylori infection which can possibly lead to gastrointestinal cancer. Triple therapy is the treatment ...
Synthesis molecular modeling in vivo study and anticancer activity of 124-triazole containing hydrazide-hydrazones derived from (S)-naproxen
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2019)
A new series of 124-triazole containing hydrazide-hydrazones derived from (S)-naproxen (7a-m) was synthesized in this study. The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectral (Fourier-transform infrared ...
Human dopamine transporter: the first implementation of a combined in silico/in vitro approach revealing the substrate and inhibitor specificities
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopamine-generating neurons in the substantia nigra and corpus striatum. Current treatments alleviate PD symptoms rather than exerting neuroprotective effect on ...
Carboxylic acid derivatives display potential selectivity for human histone deacetylase 6: Structure-based virtual screening molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
Human histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been shown to play a major role in oncogenic cell transformation via deacetylation of alpha-tubulin making it a viable target of anticancer drug design and development. The crystal ...
Examining the stability of binding modes of the co-crystallized inhibitors of human HDAC8 by molecular dynamics simulation
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019)
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 8 has been implicated as a potential therapeutic target in a variety of cancers neurodegenerative disorders metabolic dysregulation and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Several nonselective ...
Identification of potential isoform-selective histone deacetylase inhibitors for cancer therapy: a combined approach of structure-based virtual screening ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics simulation assay
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have gained increased attention as targets for anticancer drug design and development. HDAC inhibitors have proven to be effective for reversing the malignant phenotype in HDAC-dependent cancer ...
Synthesis anticancer activity and molecular modeling of etodolac-thioether derivatives as potent methionine aminopeptidase (type II) inhibitors
(Wiley, 2018)
A series of (RS)-1-{[5-(substituted)sulfanyl-4-substituted-4H-124-triazole-3-yl]methyl}-18-diethyl-1349-tetrahydropyrano[34-b]indoles (5a-v) were designed and synthesized using a five-step synthetic protocol that involves ...
Homology modeling andin silicodesign of novel and potential dual-acting inhibitors of human histone deacetylases HDAC5 and HDAC9 isozymes
(2020)
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a group of enzymes that have prominent and crucial effect on various biological systems, mainly by their suppressive effect on transcription. Searching for inhibitors targeting their ...
Synthesis, Anticancer Activity on Prostate Cancer Cell Lines and Molecular Modeling Studies of Flurbiprofen-Thioether Derivatives as Potential Target of MetAP (Type II)
(Bentham Science PUBL LTD, 2020)
Background: Prostate cancer is still one of the serious causes of mortality and morbidity in men. Despite recent advances in anticancer therapy, there is a still need of novel agents with more efficacy and specificity in ...
