Aim: Validation of mesalamine (MS) as a potential therapeutic agent in treating diabetic wound (DW) healing using in silico approach. Background: Diabetic wound (DW) is a serious consequence of diabetes that frequently results in the amputation of the affected organ. Maggot therapy, pressure off-loading, surgical intervention, glucose control, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, wound debridement, and other treatments are currently available for DW. However, the majority of people do not meet all DW requirements due to significant pathology and the high expense of the solutions. Objective: To address the issues with current conventional therapy, we reasoned that repurposing existing medication (MS) to a target receptor that plays a significant role in the progression of DW might be advantageous. Mesalamine (MS), also known as Mesalazine or 5- Aminosalicylic acid, is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC), inflamed anus or rectum. The complicated pathophysiology of DW, which includes prolonged inflammation, increased infection, decreased cell proliferation, and migration, is a serious issue. As a result, we chose the MMP-9, TNF-α, MurC, ParE, and GSK-3β receptors as a universal target for treating the complex pathogenesis of DW. The use of MS as a therapeutic modulator on MMP-9, TNF-α, MurC, ParE, and GSK-3β receptors was studied in the current hypothetical investigation. Method: Computational studies such as molecular docking and MMGBSA were performed by using the Schrödinger suite. Results: Computational investigations, such as molecular docking and MMGBSA were used to test our theory. It is clear from the in silico methods that MS has a higher binding affinity for the designated receptors. Hence, it is predicted that MS may be a good therapeutic agent to use in the treatment of DW. Conclusion: As a result of our findings, MS appears to be a unique therapeutic drug for the treatment of DW. However, further studies are highly required to take MS into clinical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
