Probing the potential of bioactive compounds of millets as an inhibitor for lifestyle diseases: molecular docking and simulation-based approach.

ABSTRACT: Millets are becoming more popular as a healthy substitute for people with lifestyle disorders. They offer dietary fiber, polyphenols, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, protein, and antioxidants. The nutritional importance of millets leads to the present in-silico study of selective bioactive compounds docked against the targets of lifestyle diseases, viz., diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis using molecular docking and molecular simulations approach. Pharmacokinetic analysis was also carried out to analyse ADME properties and toxicity analysis, drug-likeliness, and finally target prediction for new targets for uncharacterized compounds or secondary targets for recognized molecules by Swiss Target Prediction was also done. The docking results revealed that the bioactive compound flavan-4-ol, among all the 50 compounds studied, best docked to all the four targets of lifestyle diseases, viz., Human dipeptidyl peptidase IV (-5.94 kcal mol^-1 binding energy), Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (-6.49 kcal mol^-1) diabetes-related enzyme, the Human angiotensin-converting enzyme (-6.31 kcal mol^-1) which plays a significant role in hypertension, and Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (-4.67 kcal mol^-1) for atherosclerosis. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis substantiates that the flavan-4-ol forms a better stability complex with all the targets. ADMET profiles further strengthened the candidature of the flavan-4-ol bioactive compound to be considered for trial as an inhibitor of targets DPPIV, SGLT2, PCSK9, and hACE. We suggest that more research be conducted, taking Flavon-4-ol into account where it can be used as standard treatment for lifestyle diseases.

Project description:Plants and their derived molecules have been traditionally used to manage numerous pathological complications, including male erectile dysfunction (ED). Mimosa pudica Linn. commonly referred to as the touch-me-not plant, and its extract are important sources of new lead molecules in drug discovery research. The main goal of this study was to predict highly effective molecules from M. pudica Linn. for reaching and maintaining penile erection before and during sexual intercourse through in silico molecular docking and dynamics simulation tools. A total of 28 bioactive molecules were identified from this target plant through public repositories, and their chemical structures were drawn using Chemsketch software. Graph theoretical network principles were applied to identify the ideal target (phosphodiesterase type 5) and rebuild the network to visualize the responsible signaling genes, proteins, and enzymes. The 28 identified bioactive molecules were docked against the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme and compared with the standard PDE5 inhibitor (sildenafil). Pharmacokinetics (ADME), toxicity, and several physicochemical properties of bioactive molecules were assessed to confirm their drug-likeness property. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation modeling was performed to investigate the stability of PDE5-ligand complexes. Four bioactive molecules (Bufadienolide (-12.30 kcal mol-1), Stigmasterol (-11.40 kcal mol-1), Isovitexin (-11.20 kcal mol-1), and Apigetrin (-11.20 kcal mol-1)) showed the top binding affinities with the PDE5 enzyme, much more powerful than the standard PDE5 inhibitor (-9.80 kcal mol-1). The four top binding bioactive molecules were further validated for a stable binding affinity with the PDE5 enzyme and conformation during the MD simulation period as compared to the apoprotein and standard PDE5 inhibitor complexes. Further, the four top binding bioactive molecules demonstrated significant drug-likeness characteristics with lower toxicity profiles. According to the findings, the four top binding molecules may be used as potent and safe PDE5 inhibitors and could potentially be used in the treatment of ED.

Project description:A treasure trove of naturally occurring biomolecules can be obtained from sea living organisms to be used as potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. These bioactive molecules can target signaling molecules involved in the severity of chronic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The intracellular tyrosine kinases family, Janus kinases (JAKs, includes JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3), is implicated in the pathogenesis of RA through regulating several cytokines and inflammatory processes. In the present study, we conducted molecular docking and structural analysis investigations to explore the role of a set of bioactive molecules from marine sources that can be used as JAKs' specific inhibitors. Around 200 antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules out of thousands of marine molecules found at the Comprehensive Marine Natural Products Database (CMNPD) website, were used in that analysis. The details of the interacting residues were compared to the recent FDA approved inhibitors tofacitinib and baricitinib for data validation. The shortlisted critical amino acids residues of our pharmacophore-based virtual screening were LYS905, GLU957, LEU959, and ASP1003 at JAK1, GLU930 and LEU932 at JAK2, and GLU905 and CYS909 of JAK3. Interestingly, marine biomolecules such as Sargachromanol G, Isopseudopterosin E, Seco-Pseudopterosin, and CID 10071610 showed specific binding and significantly higher binding energy to JAK1 active/potential sites when being compared with the approved inhibitors. In addition, Zoanthoxanthin and Fuscoside E bind to JAK2's critical residues, GLU930 and LEU932. Moreover, Phorbaketal and Fuscoside E appear to be potential candidates that can inhibit JAK3 activity. These results were validated using molecular dynamics simulation for the docked complexes, JAK1(6sm8)/SG, JAK2 (3jy9)/ZAX, and JAK3 (6pjc)/Fuscoside E, where stable and lower binding energy were found based on analyzing set of parameters, discussed below (videos are attached). A promising role of these marine bioactive molecules can be confirmed in prospective preclinical/clinical investigations using rheumatoid arthritis models.
