Popis: Introduction: JAK3 kinase inhibitor has become an effective means to treat tumors and autoimmune diseases. Method: In this study, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were used to study the theoretical interaction mechanism between 1-phenylimidazolidine-2-one molecules and JAK3 protein Result: The results of molecular docking showed that the six 1-phenylimidazolidine-2-one derivatives obtained by virtual screening were bound to the ATP pocket of JAK3 kinase, which were competitive inhibitors of ATP, and were mainly bound to the pocket through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. Further, MM/GBSA based on molecular dynamics simulation sampling was used to calculate the binding energy between six molecules and the JAK3 kinase protein. Subsequently, the binding energy was decomposed into the contribution of each amino acid residue, of which Leu905, Lys855, Asp967, Leu956, Tyr904, and Val836 were the main energy-contributing residues. Among them, the molecule numbered LCM01415405 can interact with the specific amino acid Arg911 of JAK3 kinase, suggesting that the molecule may be a selective JAK3 kinase inhibitor. The root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) of JAK3 kinase pocket residues during molecular dynamics simulation showed that the combination of six new potential small molecule inhibitors with JAK3 kinase could reduce the flexibility of JAK3 kinase pocket residues Conclusion: These findings reveal the mechanism of 1-phenylimidazolidine-2-one derivatives on JAK3 protein and provide a relatively solid theoretical basis for the development and structural optimization of JAK3 protein inhibitors.
