Docking of protein kinase B inhibitors: implications in the structure-based optimization of a novel scaffold.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) is an attractive therapeutic target in anticancer drug development. We have recently identified by docking-based virtual screening a low micromolar AKT-2 inhibitor. Additionally, the virtual screening hit represents a novel AKT-2 inhibitor scaffold. In this work, we discuss a structure-based design strategy toward the optimization of this hit. Following this strategy and using a herein validated docking protocol, we conducted the design of novel compounds with expected improved activity over the parent compound. The newly designed molecules have high predicted affinity for AKT-2; are synthetically accessible and are contained within the kinase-relevant property space.

متن کاملThe comparison of the effect of different inhibitors on aromatase enzyme effective in the breast cancer by molecular docking method
Background: Aromatase is an enzyme that plays an important role in the development of estrogen-positive breast cancer. Estrogens are essential in human and mainly in women because of their role in sexual development and reproduction. Adverse effects of some aromatase inhibitors increase the need to discover new inhibitors with higher selectivity, lower toxicity and improved potency. In this stu...
