In the present study of 4,5-diphenyl-1-((tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl)-2-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole 1 was synthesized. The synthesized imidazole compound 1 has been characterized by FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR and ESI-Mass spectral studies. Molecular docking is also performed in order to explain the over-expression of estrogen receptor in 70% of liver cancer. The imidazole scaffold is a privileged scaffold for exploration of anticancer agents. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the anticancer activity of imidazole 1 in human liver cancer cell lines HepG2.

Lysosomal α-Mannosidase (LAM) belongs to the glycoside hydrolyzing enzymes family 38 and is involved in the biosynthesis and turnover of N-linked glycoproteins process. Locoweeds, which contain swainsonine (SW) that inhibits LAM, are the main poisoning plants in many regions of the world, and thereby resulting in animal poisoning or even death. Based on regions of protein sequence conservation between LAM from Bos taurus and Homo sapiens, we cloned cDNA encoding Capra hircus LAM (chLAM). Expression of cDNA in Pichia pastoris resulted in the secretion of aLAM activity into the culture medium. The recombinant chLAM was activated 1.6 and 1.2-fold with Zn2+ and Ca2+, respectively. By homology modeling, molecular docking and mutant analysis, we obtained the probable binding modes of SW at the allosteric sites of chLAM, and the potential mutant sites for the resistance to SW. Prediction of SW sensitivity to A28 W/G, D58 Y/G mutant chLAM is lower than wild type chLAM. The obtained results lead to a better understanding of not only interactions between substrate/SW and chLAM, but also of a potential strategy for a novel therapy for locoweed poisoning.

In this work an attempt is made to analysis of the possible different conformers of p-coumaric acid (PCA) by using density functional method. The total energy of four possible conformers were calculated by using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method. Computational result identifies that the most stable conformer of PCA is C2. The formation of inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonding between -OH and -COOH group gave the evidence for dimer formation for PCA molecule. The highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital analysis shows that the negative electrostatic region situated over the -COOH group and positive electrostatic potential region are localized on ring system and all hydrogen. The PCA has been screened to anti-microbial activity and found to exhibit anti-bacterial effects. Molecular docking results suggest that PCA may exhibit inhibitory activity against lung cancer protein and may act as potential against lung cancer.

Albumina surowicy krwi ludzkiej pełni ważną rolę w transporcie i rozmieszczeniu w organizmie substancji endogennych i egzogennych, w tym również leków. Znajomość mechanizmu oddziaływania leków z albuminą może być pomocna w przewidywaniu potencjalnych interakcji z innymi lekami i substancjami chemicznymi na etapie wiązania z albuminą, zapewniając bezpieczną terapię, szczególnie w terapii wielolekowej. Symulacja tego oddziaływania metodą dokowania molekularnego pozwala na opisanie zależności między strukturą i aktywnością biologiczną i może być alternatywą lub uzupełnieniem badań in vitro. W pracy przedstawiono możliwość wykorzystania techniki dokowania molekularnego do oceny oddziaływania 6-Merkaptopuryny (6-MP), leku stosowanego w terapii przeciwnowotworowej i immunosupresyjnej, z albuminą surowicy krwi ludzkiej. Procedurę dokowania 6-MP do cząsteczki albuminy przeprowadzono za pomocą programu komputerowego Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD). Strukturę rentgenowską HSA opisaną kodem 1AO6 pobrano z bazy białek Protein Data Bank (PDB.org). Układ przestrzenny cząsteczki 6-MP o zminimalizowanej energii opracowano za pomocą programu CS Chem3D Ultra CambridgeSoft v.7.0.0. Cząsteczkę 6-MP, ze względu na fakt, że w roztworze wodnym o fi zjologicznym pH występuje w mieszaninie formy zdysocjowanej i niezdysocjowanej dokowano jednocześnie w obu formach. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że 6-MP może wiązać się do albuminy w co najmniej dwóch miejscach wiążących. W przypadku cząsteczki niezdysocjowanej oddziaływania wiążące mają charakter hydrofobowy, natomiast cząsteczka zdysocjowana oddziałuje z albuminą głównie poprzez wiązania wodorowe oraz oddziaływanie elektrostatyczne z dodatnio naładowaną resztą lizyny, które stabilizuje powstający kompleks.

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a major protein component of blood plasma and due to its endogenous and exogenous ligand binding properties, plays an important role in the distribution and therapeutic eff ectiveness of drug. The studies of interaction of ligands with HSA by molecular docking are important from a theoretical viewpoint as they attempt to explain the relationship between the structure of ligand and the function of protein and also in terms of practical applications in medicine. In the work, the interaction of HSA with 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) used as anticancer and immunosuppressive drug was examined by molecular docking. The docking procedure was performed with the program Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD). The initial 6-MP conformation was energy-minimized using semiempirical (AM1) method implemented in CS Chem3D Ultra CambridgeSoft v.7.0.0 software and then imported to MVD. The X-ray structure of HSA (1AO6) was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The potential binding sites (cavities) were identifi ed automatically using the cavities detection algorithm. The 6-MP molecules in solution at pH 7.4 occur as a mixture of neutral and anionic forms, therefore both forms of 6-MP were docked one at a time. Docking experiment uncovered at least two binding sites of 6-MP in HSA structure. It was found that in case of neutral form of 6-MP the binding force was mainly hydrophobic interaction, while the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond were involved in the binding process of anionic form of 6-MP.

A molecular docking study was undertaken using the programs SwissDock and PatchDock to assess the interactions of the bacterial chitinases belonging to the GH18 and GH19 families with two herbicides (chlorsulfuron and nicosulfuron) and two fungicides (difenoconazole and drazoxolon). Both molecular docking programs predict that all considered pesticides bind to the active sites of chitinases produced by soil microorganisms. There are correlations for predicted binding energy values for receptor-ligand complexes obtained using the two programs consolidating the prediction of the chitinases-pesticides interactions. The interactions of chitinases with pesticides involve the same residues as their interactions with known inhibitors suggesting the inhibitory potential of pesticides. Pesticides interact stronger with chitinases belonging to the GH18 family, their active sites reflecting higher polarity than those of the GH19 chitinases. Also, herbicides reveal a higher inhibitory potential to bacterial chitinases than fungicides.
