EP300 (E1A binding protein p300) played a significant role in serial diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease. Therefore, it became a significant target.
Targeting EP300 discovery of a novel drug to alleviate these diseases. In this paper, 17 candidate compounds were obtained using a structure-based virtual screening approach, 4449-0460, with an IC of 5.89 ± 2.08 uM, which was identified by the EP300 bioactivity test. 4449-0460 consisted of three rings. The middle benzene ring connected the 5-ethylideneimidazolidine-2,4-dione group and the 3-F-Phenylmethoxy group.
Furthermore, the interaction mechanism between 4449-0460 and EP300 was explored by combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and binding free energy calculation methods.
The binding free energy of EP300 with 4449-0460 was -10.93 kcal/mol, and mainly came from the nonpolar energy term (ΔG). Pro1074, Phe1075, Val1079, Leu1084, and Val1138 were the key residues in EP300/4449-0460 binding with more -1 kcal/mol energy contribution. 4449-0460 was a promising inhibitor targeting EP300, which had implications for the development of drugs for EP300-related diseases.
EP300(E1A 结合蛋白 p300)在癌症、神经退行性疾病等一系列疾病中发挥着重要作用。因此,它成为了一个重要的靶点。
针对 EP300 发现一种新型药物来缓解这些疾病。在本文中,使用基于结构的虚拟筛选方法获得了 17 种候选化合物,IC 为 5.89 ± 2.08 μM,通过 EP300 生物活性测试鉴定为 4449-0460。4449-0460 由三个环组成。中间苯环连接 5-亚乙基咪唑烷-2,4-二酮基团和 3-F-苯甲氧基基团。
此外,通过结合分子动力学(MD)模拟和结合自由能计算方法,探讨了 4449-0460 与 EP300 之间的相互作用机制。
EP300 与 4449-0460 的结合自由能为-10.93 kcal/mol,主要来自非极性能量项(ΔG)。Pro1074、Phe1075、Val1079、Leu1084 和 Val1138 是 EP300/4449-0460 结合的关键残基,其能量贡献超过-1 kcal/mol。4449-0460 是一种有前途的针对 EP300 的抑制剂,这对开发与 EP300 相关的疾病药物具有重要意义。
