Abstract
The homology model of hSGLT2 (human sodium dependent glucose co-transporter 2) was used as a target for diabetes mellitus. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations were carried out on vitexin- and isovitexin-SGLT2 complexes with dapagliflozin as positive control. The results show that both vitexin and isovitexin have weaker binding energies compared to dapagliflozin, indicating that both ligands may exhibit weak anti-diabetic effects through inhibiting SGLT2. The poor binding mode of vitexin and isovitexin may be responsible for their weak anti-diabetic effect. These results are in accordance with the inhibitory activity against hSGLT2 in vitro test with the inhibitory rate 26.3% of vitexin and 11.2% of isovitexin at the dose of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]L[Formula: see text]. The results of calculation and in vitro test may explain the possible inhibiting mechanism of vitexin and isovitexin against SGLT2, and therefore enhance our understanding of the structure-activity relationships of SGLT2 inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments and applications of research in the ever-expanding field of theoretical and computational chemistry.
JTCC publishes regular articles and reviews on new methodology, software, web server and database developments. The applications of existing theoretical and computational methods which produce significant new insights into important problems are also welcomed. Papers reporting joint computational and experimental investigations are encouraged. The journal will not consider manuscripts reporting straightforward calculations of the properties of molecules with existing software packages without addressing a significant scientific problem.
Areas covered by the journal include molecular dynamics, computer-aided molecular design, modeling effects of mutation on stability and dynamics of macromolecules, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and other related topics.
