However, the lack of approved small-molecule inhibitors rooted in the structural ambiguity of telomerase has impeded drug development for decades. In this study, we have exploited the FVYL pocket in the thumb domain, which plays a key role in the enzyme's processivity. Due to the unavailability of a co-crystalized structure of BIBR1532 with the catalytic hTERT thumb domain, we utilized the molecular dynamics method to identify the precise binding site of the inhibitor. Two pharmacophore models were generated and validated for the putative (Site-I) and newly identified (Site-II) binding pockets which were screened virtually through the ChemDiv anticancer library, Otava drug-like green collection to identify novel lead compounds, and Binding database to screen out thumb domain-specific telomerase inhibitors. The top hits obtained were filtered using drug-likeliness parameters followed by redocking using a three-level screening strategy into their binding site. The structural investigation, molecular docking studies, and confirmatory molecular dynamics revealed that the exact binding site of BIBR1532 is away from the reported FVYL pocket with characteristic interactions conserved. Subsequently, the lead compounds with the highest docking scores and significant interactions in the newly discovered extended FVYL pocket were validated using 100 ns MD simulations. Additionally, cross-validated binding free energy calculations were performed using MM-PB(GB)SA methods followed by PCA and FEL characterization.

Enzyme inhibition assays and fluorescence spectroscopy were utilized to determine the binding kinetics of LPV and DRV with the wild-type and mutant HIV-1 PR variants.

Both LPV and DRV poorly inhibited the highly mutated HIV-1 PR variants and had a markedly increased dissociation rate cons bound to the mutant variants compared to the wild type. The fast dissociation of these inhibitors translated into a short residence time of the inhibitor bound to the mutant HIV-1 PR variants. Fluorescent spectroscopy showed that the changes in the tertiary structure of the mutant HIV-1 PR variants were associated with a more open conformation. This open conformation was associated with altered conformational dynamics, which may have resulted in the loss of tight binding of LPV and DRV.

This study demonstrated multifaceted stratagems to reconnoiter promising repurposable candidates against Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) by amalgamating Real-World-Data (RWD) with bioinformatics algorithms corroborated with <i>in-silico</i> and <i>in-vitro</i> studies. At the outset, the RWD from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was explored to navigate signals to retrieve repurposable drugs that are inversely associated with HCC via Disproportionality Analysis. Further, transcriptomic analysis was used to capture the potential targets of HCC. Following this, the interactions between repurposable drugs and HCC targets were virtually demonstrated via molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulations (MDS). Furthermore, additional cytotoxicity and gene expression experiments were conducted to corroborate the results. Overall, 64 drugs with Drug Event >5 were shortlisted as prospective repurposable drugs as per the RWD obtained from FAERS. The transcriptomic analysis highlighted significant upregulation of Cyclin A2 (CCNA2) in HCC, which activates Cyclin Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2).

Patients with hepatitis C virus infection in the liver have been associated with increased levels of PI4P at the endoplasmic reticulum.

In this direction, a combination of pharmacophore-based virtual screening, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were studied for PI4KIIIα.
