Cytostatic colchicine is widely used in the treatment of Familial Mediterranean fever, but it has several side effects. For finding new, more effective drugs with higher affinity and diminishside effects we carried out virtual screening of potential inhibitors of the main target of colchicine, the polymerization of tubulin by evaluating affinity 25745 compounds, structurally related to the colchicine. We have identified 11 commercially available compounds with higher affinity to tubulin. Compounds with highest binding scores include trimethoxybenzene and its derivatives; these compounds bind to the same site in similar orientation. Information provided can form the basis for design of new cytostatics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
