MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDY OF NEUROPROTECTIVE PLANT-DERIVED BIOMOLECULES IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the therapeutic role of biomolecules in targeting the altered expression of Parkin in PD pathogenesis.Methods: We employed various in silico tools such as drug-likeness parameters, namely, Lipinski filter analysis, Muscle tool for phylogenetic analysis, Castp Server for active site prediction, molecular docking studies using AutoDock 4.2.1 and LIGPLOT1.4.5 were carried out.Results: Our results show that neuroprotective activity of Quercetin to be most effective and can provide their possible clinical relevance in PD. Further, initial screenings of the molecules were done based on Lipinski’s rule of five. CastP server used to predict the ligand binding site suggests that this protein can be utilized as a potential drug target. Finally, we have found Quercetin to be most effective amongst four biomolecules in modulating Parkin based on minimum inhibition constant, Ki and highest negative free energy of binding with the maximum interacting surface area in a course of docking studies.Conclusion: This research could provide a potential therapeutic window for the treatment of PD.
