Popis: Dopamine receptor D2 (D2R) plays an important role in the human central nervous system and is a focal target of antipsychotic agents. The D2HighR and D2LowR dimeric models previously developed by our group are used to investigate the prediction of binding affinity of the LY404,039 ligand and its binding mechanism within the catalytic domain. The computational data obtained using molecular dynamics simulations fit well with the experimental results. The calculated binding affinities of LY404,039 using MM/PBSA for the D2HighR and D2LowR targets were −12.04 and −9.11 kcal/mol, respectively. The experimental results suggest that LY404,039 binds to D2HighR and D2LowR with binding affinities (Ki) of 8.2 and 1640 nM, respectively. The high binding affinity of LY404,039 in terms of binding to [3H]domperidone was inhibited by the presence of a guanine nucleotide, indicating an agonist action of the drug at D2HighR. The interaction analysis demonstrated that while Asp114 was among the most critical amino acids for ...
