Popis: | To screen and identify ideal leading compounds from a drug library (ZINC15 database) with potential inhibition effect against c-Myc to contribute to medication design and development. A series of computer-aided virtual screening techniques were performed to identify potential inhibitors of c-Myc. LibDock from the software Discovery Studio was used to do a structure-based screening after ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and toxicity prediction. Molecular docking was utilized to show the binding affinity and potential mechanism between ligands and c-Myc. Stability of the ligand-receptor complex was analyzed by molecular dynamic simulation at the end of the research. Compounds with more interactive energy which are confirmed to be the potential inhibitors for c-Myc were identified from the ZINC15 databases. Additionally, those compounds are also anticipated with fewer ames mutagenicity, rodent carcinogenicity, nondevelopmental toxic potential, and tolerant with cytochrome p450 2D6(CYP2D6). Dynamic simulation analysis also revealed that the very compounds had more favorable potential energy compared with 10058-F4(ZINC12406714). Furthermore, we prove that those compounds are stable and can exist in natural conditions. This study demonstrates that the compounds are potential therapeutic inhibitors for c-Myc. These compounds are safe and stable for drug candidates and may play a critical role in c-Myc inhibitor development. |
