Germacrone derivatives: synthesis, biological activity, molecular docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations

Oncotarget, 2017
Germacrone is one of the major bioactive components in the Curcuma zedoaria oil product, which is extracted from Curcuma zedoaria Roscoe, known as zedoary. The present study designed some novel germacrone derivatives based on combination principles, synthesized these compounds, and investigated their inhibitions on Bel-7402, HepG2, A549 and HeLa cells.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Identification of hepta-histidine as a candidate drug for Huntington's disease by in silico-in vitro- in vivo-integrated screens of chemical libraries. [PDF]

, 2016
We identified drug seeds for treating Huntington's disease (HD) by combining in vitro single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, in silico molecular docking simulations, and in vivo fly and mouse HD models to screen for inhibitors of abnormal ...

Homology modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations elucidated α-fetoprotein binding modes [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2013
An important mechanism of endocrine activity is chemicals entering target cells via transport proteins and then interacting with hormone receptors such as the estrogen receptor (ER). α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major transport protein in rodent serum that can bind and sequester estrogens, thus preventing entry to the target cell and where they could ...

Studies in molecular modeling, in vitro CDK2 inhibition and antimetastatic activity of some synthetic flavones

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020
Naturally occurring flavonoids have been shown to possess anticancer activity. We have previously shown that certain synthetic flavonoids also exert significant antiproliferative potential in MOLT-4, MCF-7, and HepG2 cell lines. To this end, we evaluated
