Journal ArticleDOI

Homology modeling, molecular dynamics, e-pharmacophore mapping and docking study of Chikungunya virus nsP2 protease

TL;DR: A homology model of nsP2 protein based on the crystal structure of the nsP1 protein of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus is presented, and the pharmacophore features that must be present in an inhibitor of ns P2 protease are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-activity relationships of bath salt components: substituted cathinones and benzofurans at biogenic amine transporters

TL;DR: The α-pyrrolidinophenones, with high hDAT selectivity, have high abuse potential and suggest similarity to methylenedioxymethamphetamine, entactogens with lower stimulant activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receptor-Ligand Interaction-Based Virtual Screening for Novel Eg5/Kinesin Spindle Protein Inhibitors

TL;DR: This work employed structure-based virtual screening of a database of 700, 000 compounds to identify three novel Eg5 inhibitors bearing quinazoline or thioxoimidazolidine scaffolds, which inhibit Eg5 ATPase activity, show growth inhibition in proliferation assays, and induce monoastral spindles in cells, the characteristic phenotype for Eg5 inhibiting agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

IKKβ inhibitors identification part I: Homology model assisted structure based virtual screening

TL;DR: From the combined approach of virtual screening followed by biological screening, it is identified six novel compounds that can work against IKKbeta, in which 1 compound had highest inhibition rate 82.09% at 10 microM and IC(50) 1.76 microM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Affinity, potency, efficacy, selectivity, and molecular modeling of substituted fentanyls at opioid receptors.

TL;DR: The predicted binding pose, in conjunction with in vitro binding affinity, clarified the molecular basis of the binding/selectivity profile of furanyl fentanyl and other derivatives at the sequence level.
