DE-NOVO DESIGN OF SOME NEW LEAD COMPOUNDS AS DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-IV INHIBITORS
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
The use of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors has been an established practice in the management of type-2 diabetes mellitus in recent years. The present study undertakes De-novo design protocol for the exploration of some new lead compounds which can further be optimized for their development as DPP-IV inhibitors. The e-lea3d drug design pipeline was used to “grow” the molecules inside the active site of DPP-IV and molecular docking results were used for the filtration of compounds with important binding interactions.
