Homology modeling of human GABA-AT and devise some novel and potent inhibitors via computer-aided drug design techniques
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT) is a pyridoxal 5 '-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme which degrades gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) in the brain. GABA is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays ...
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 ...
New 2-Pyrazoline and Hydrazone Derivatives as Potent and Selective Monoamine Oxidase A Inhibitors
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2021-02)
Thirty compounds having 1-[2-(5-substituted-2-benzoxazolinone-3-yl) acetyl]-3,5-disubstitutedphenyl-2-pyrazoline structure and nine compounds having N'-(1,3-disubstitutedphenylallylidene)-2-(5-substituted- 2-benzoxazolin ...
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 ...
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 ...
Crystallographic structure versus homology model: a case study of molecular dynamics simulation of human and zebrafish histone deacetylase 10
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 10 has been implicated in the pathology of various cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, making the discovery of novel inhibitors of the isoform an important endeavor. However, the unavailability ...
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 ...
Synthesis, in silico studies and cytotoxicity evaluation of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives designed as potential mPGES-1 inhibitors
(MARMARA UNIV, 2020)
A series of new 1,3,4-oxadizole derivatives containing thioether group, has been synthesized to investigate their mPGES-1 inhibitory activities. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their anticancer and COX-1/2 ...
Synthesis, molecular modeling, in vivo study and anticancer activity against prostate cancer of (+) (S)-naproxen derivatives
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2020)
In this study, (S)-naproxen thiosemicarbazides (3a-d), 1,2,4-triazoles (4a-c), triazole-thioether hybride compounds (5a-p) were synthesized and their structures (3a, 3d, 4a and 5a-p) were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR,13C ...
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 ...
