Investigation of Flavonoid Scaffolds as DAX1 Inhibitors against Ewing Sarcoma through Pharmacoinformatic and Dynamic Simulation Studies.

ABSTRACT: Dosage-sensitive sex reversal, adrenal hypoplasia critical region, on chromosome X, gene 1 (DAX1) is an orphan nuclear receptor encoded by the NR0B1 gene. The functional study showed that DAX1 is a physiologically significant target for EWS/FLI1-mediated oncogenesis, particularly Ewing Sarcoma (ES). In this study, a three-dimensional DAX1 structure was modeled by employing a homology modeling approach. Furthermore, the network analysis of genes involved in Ewing Sarcoma was also carried out to evaluate the association of DAX1 and other genes with ES. Moreover, a molecular docking study was carried out to check the binding profile of screened flavonoid compounds against DAX1. Therefore, 132 flavonoids were docked in the predicted active binding pocket of DAX1. Moreover, the pharmacog
