由3D-QSAR、分子对接和分子动力学模拟研究吲唑类化合物与PI3Kδ抑制剂的相互作用

磷酸肌醇3-激酶δ(PI3Kδ)参与慢性阻塞性肺疾病的炎性过程并且被鉴定为一个新的潜在治疗靶点。本文采用三维定量构效关系(3D-QSAR)、分子对接和分子动力学方法研究了47个吲唑类化合物与P13Kδ激酶的相互作用,并建立了相应的模型。其中,比较分子场分析(CoMFA)模型q~2=0.719,r~2=0.972;比较分子相似性指数分析(CoMSIA)模型q~2=0.649,r~2=0.983,表明所建的QSAR模型具有稳定可靠的预测能力。CoMFA和CoMSIA等势图形象地描述了不同的场效应对活性的影响,其中立体场、疏水场及氢键受体场对活性有较大的贡献。接着采用分子对接探索小分子化合物与P13Kδ的结合模式,结合模式显示吲唑类化合物主要通过氢键作用与疏水作用与P13Kδ紧密结合,并且通过分子动力学模拟进一步验证了对接结果。最后根据等势图、对接模式和分子动力学模拟获取的信息设计了8个化合物,研究表明它们均能与PI3Kδ较好结合。     

Molecular Docking, 3D-QSAR and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Substituted Pyrimidines as Selective Covalent Janus Kinase 3 Inhibitors

Janus kinase 3(JAK3) is a member of Janus kinase(JAK) family, and it represents a promising target for the treatment of immune diseases and cancers. However, no highly selective inhibitors of JAK3 have been developed. For discovering the binding mechanism of JAK3 and these inhibitors, a molecular modeling study combining molecular docking, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships(3D-QSAR), molecular dynamics and binding free energy calculations was performed on a series of pyrimidine-based compounds which could bind with the unique residue Cys909 of JAK3 kinase as the selective inhibitors of JAK3 in this work. The optimum Co MFA and Co MSIA models were generated based on the conformations obtained by molecular docking. The results showed that the models have satisfactory predicted capacity in both internal and external validation. Furthermore, a 50 ns molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to determine the detailed binding process of inhibitors with different activities. It was demonstrated that hydrogen bond interactions with Leu828, Glu903, Tyr904, Leu905 and Leu956 of JAK3 are significant for activity increase, and the Van der Waals interaction is mainly responsible for stable complex.
