Combined use of the hepatitis C drugs and amentoflavone could interfere with binding of the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2: the results of a molecular simulation study.

ABSTRACT: The worldwide rapid spread of the COVID-19 disease necessitates the search for fast and effective treatments. The repurposing of existing drugs seems to be the best solution in this situation. In this study, the molecular docking method was used to test 248 drugs against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for viral entry into the host cell. Among the top-ranked ligands are drugs that are used for hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatments (paritaprevir, ledipasvir, simeprevir) and a natural biflavonoid amentoflavone. The binding sites of the HCV drugs and amentoflavone are different. Therefore, the ternary complexes of the HCV drug, amentoflavone, and RBD can be created. For the 5 top-ranked ligands, the validating molecular dynamics simulations of binary and ternary complexes with RBD were performed. According to the MMPBSA-binding free energies, the HCV drugs ledipasvir and paritaprevir (in a neutral form) are the most efficient binders of the RBD when used in combination with amentoflavone.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Project description:The most widely-used method for detecting genome-wide protein-DNA interactions is chromatin immunoprecipitation on tiling microarrays, commonly known as ChIP-chip. Here, we conducted the first objective analysis of tiling array platforms and analysis algorithms in a simulated ChIP-chip experiment. Mixtures of human genomic DNA and "spike-ins" comprised of nearly 100 human sequences at various concentrations were hybridized to four tiling array platforms by eight independent groups. Blind to the number of spike-ins, their locations, and the range of concentrations, each group made predictions of the spike-in locations. All commercial tiling array platforms performed well, although each platform and analysis algorithm had distinct performance and cost characteristics. Simple sequence repeats and genome redundancy tend to result in false positives on oligonucleotide platforms. The spike-in DNA samples and the resulting array data presented here provide a stable benchmark against which future ChIP platforms, protocol improvements, and analysis methods can be evaluated. Keywords: chip-ChIP simulation For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf For each replicate array, we labeled 1Âµg of spike-in sample and 1Âµg of control sample. The Bioprime Plus Array CGH labeling Module (Invitrogen Catolog number 18095-014) was used. The spike-in was labeled with the red channel dye (Alexa Fluor-647) and the control was labeled with the green channel dye (Alexa Fluor-555) in two of the replicates. A dye swap was performed for the third replicate. These samples were then competitively hybridized to three replicate 244k arrays from Agilent, (AMADID 25150451). We hybridized the samples to the arrays using the Agilent Array CGH protocol, with some modifications. Briefly, labeled DNA was combined with Cot-1 DNA, blocking reagent, and hybridization buffer. The hybridizations were carried out at 60Â°C. The arrays were scanned using an Agilent dual laser scanner, and the images were processed using Agilent Feature Extraction Software.
