Popis: Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that control several important functions via different dopamine receptors(D1-D5). The Dopamine (DRD2) receptor and other D2 family receptors (D3 and D4) are predominantly involved in the inhibitory activities. One vital role of dopamine receptors is its involvement in the endocrine regulations including the hormone synthesis and their secretion. The regulation of prolactin hormone is mainly controlled through DRD2 receptors. Blocking the delivery of dopamine at these DRD2 receptors will cause an increase in serum prolactin levels. PPI�s are among the widely prescribed medications used for multiple gastric hypersecretory disorders and are shown to cause increase in serum prolactin level. This study focuses on computational methods to test PPIs interaction with dopamine D2 receptor through molecular docking & dynamics studies. The 3D structure of protein and the drugs were downloaded from PDB and PubChem databases. Protein and ligands were prepared followed by molecular docking. Complexes with best docking poses were then proceeded towards MD simulations of 60 ns. Results were then analyzed. This study confirmed that there is prospective affinity between proton pump inhibitors and dopamine D2 receptor, and dynamically stable complexes are formed after drug-receptor binding. MD simulations results confirmed the binding affinity between PPIs and Dopamine D2 receptor, concluding that the use of PPIs may be involved in drug induced hyperprolactinemia and other related effects.
