Abstract: | Before the experimental studies of a compound to be synthesized from in vitro to in vivo, it is possible to save both time and money with in silico approaches only with Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) methods. In other words, compounds that can be new drug candidates can be suggested by drug design using computational drug discovery strategies. In this study, all molecules in the ChEMBL Database were virtual screened based on drugs with inhibitory properties on the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), one of the receptor tyrosine kinases, which is effective in cancer cells. During this High-Throughput Screening (HTS), the number of compounds was minimized according to the parameters of the reference drugs, physicochemical properties such as logP, M.W., HBA, HDB, RosLip. As a result of in silico approaches and molecular docking analysis, ten compounds with the highest docking scores were determined and a model compound that could be a new drug candidate was proposed. |
