Molecular docking analysis of nitisinone with homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase
نویسنده
چکیده
Alkaptonuria is an inherited disease that is caused by homogenticate accumulation. Deficiency or mutation in Homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase gene (chromosome 3q21-q23) leads to production of incorrectly folded or truncated enzyme. Several studies indicated that competitive inhibitors of Homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase like Nitisinone could be used for Alkaptonuria treatment. Therefore, it is of interest to design better inhibitors of the enzyme. We used subset 3_p.0.5 from Zinc database as the virtual screening library by PyRx software relaying on Lamarckian genetics algorithm. Top 10 hits with more efficient binding affinity were analyzed and hit No#5 and No# 7 was selected for further design. In Lig No#5, we decreased the hydrophobicity by adding oxygen in the hydrophobic tail of the molecule at positions C5 and C10. The new compound of (2Z, 5Z, 8Z)-6,9-Dihydroxy-2-(2-hydroxy-5-oxo-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)-2,5,8-decatrienoic acid satisfied Lipinski rules as well as PhysChem and FafDrugs filters. Moreover, the modified version of Lig No# 7 with the IUPAC name of [2-(Carboxymethyl)-3,5-dihydroxyphenyl] acetic acid satisfies the Lipisnki, FafDrugs and Physchem.

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an orphan inherited homogentisate dioxygenase enzyme deficiency resulting in accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA). HGA is converted to a black pigment polymer known as ochronosis that causes tissue damage affecting many tissues including joints and heart, with significant poor quality of life. The DevelopAKUre project is a Europe-wide collaboration to study the efficacy...
متن کاملNitisinone Arrests but Does Not Reverse Ochronosis in Alkaptonuric Mice.
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from a deficiency of homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase (HGD), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Loss of HGD function prevents metabolism of homogentisic acid (HGA), leading to increased levels of plasma HGA and urinary excretion. Excess HGA becomes deposited in collagenous tissues and subsequ...

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder of tyrosine metabolism in the liver due to deficiency of homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase (HGD) activity, resulting in the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA). Circulating HGA pass into various tissues through-out the body, mainly in cartilage and connective tissues, where its oxidation products polymerize and deposit as a melanin-...
متن کاملLoss of Homogentisate 1,2-Dioxygenase Activity in Bacillus anthracis Results in Accumulation of Protective Pigment
Melanin production is important to the pathogenicity and survival of some bacterial pathogens. In Bacillus anthracis, loss of hmgA, encoding homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, results in accumulation of a melanin-like pigment called pyomelanin. Pyomelanin is produced in the mutant as a byproduct of disrupted catabolism of L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine. Accumulation of pyomelanin protects B. anthra...

L-Phenylalanine and L-tyrosine were completely catabolized through homogentisate by Streptomyces setonii 75Vi2 but only partially degraded by Streptomyces badius 252, Streptomyces sioyaensis P5, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A, and Streptomyces sp. strain V7. Intermediates of catabolism were confirmed by thin-layer, gas, and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase was p...
