[ 1 ] - Ab Initio Study of Vinblastine-Tubulin Anticancer Complex

Vinblastine is an important anticancer agent known to diminish microtubule assembly. Ab initio calculations are applied to examine the structural properties and different energies of vinblastine-tubulin complex in different dielectric constants and temperatures. The aims of this work are discovery the best optimized structure and thermodynamic properties of vinblastine-tubulin complex ...

[ 2 ] - A Computational Study of Cytotoxicity of Substituted Amides of Pyrazine-2-carboxylic acids Using QSAR and DFT Based Molecular Surface Electrostatic Potential

Pyrazine derivatives are important class of compounds with diverse biological and cytotoxic activities and clinical applications. In this study, B3 p 86 / 6 – 31 + + G * was used to compute and map the molecular surface electrostatic potentials of a group of substituted amides of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acids to identify common features related to their subsequent cytotoxicities. Several statisti...

[ 3 ] - Discovery of active site of vinblastine as application of nanotechnology in medicine

Objective(s): Vinblastine is antimitotic, anticancer medicine that disturbs normal microtubule formation and favours depolymerisation. Structural study and finding the active site of vinblastine are the targets of this research.   Materials and Methods: Vinblastine was optimized in vacuum and then in different solvents by Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) ...
