Bhardwaj, Vijay Kumar published the artcileComputer simulation to identify selective inhibitor for human phosphodiesterase10A, Name: 2-Aminobenzonitrile(Flakes or Chunks), the main research area is phosphodiesterase computer simulation mol docking.
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important function in transduction of cellular signals by modulating the activation of G-proteins by hydrolyzing cAMP and cGMP. PDE10A has emerged as an inhibitory target for development of effective therapeutics against various disorders such as schizophrenia, psychosis, Huntington disease, and other disorders related to the central nervous system. We utilized various computational methods such as mol. docking, mol. dynamic simulations, and MM-PBSA to find a more potent and selective PDE10A inhibitor compared to papaverine, which is a known standard inhibitor of PDE10A. Mol. docking of papaverine and twenty-eight in house synthesized 3-Methylenisoindolin-1-one based mols. provided two potential lead mols. (mol. #3 and mol. #28), which could be developed as potent PDE10A inhibitors. However, mol. #28 was excluded from further studies due to its cross reactivity with other PDE isoforms. Mol. dynamics and MM-PBSA techniques were used to further analyze the mol. docking results. Mol. #3 binds to the conserved substrate recognizing residue (Gln726) and also fits into the selectivity pocket by anchoring to the hydrophobic residue Tyr693. This study provides a promising candidate mol. that could be developed as a more potent and selective inhibitor of PDE10A.
