Molecular basis of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COXs) selective inhibition

Abstract: The widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs block the cyclooxygenase enzymes (COXs) and are clinically used for the treatment of inflammation, pain, and cancers. A selective inhibition of the different isoforms, particularly COX-2, is desirable, and consequently a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of selective inhibition is of great demand. Using an advanced computational technique we have simulated the full dissociation process of a highly potent and selective inhibitor, SC-558, in both COX… Show more

“…The triluoromethyl group atached to the pyrazole ring is surrounded by a close hydrophobic cavity formed by Met113, Val116, Val349, Tyr355, Leu359 and Leu531 where only Arg120 (located near to CF 3 group) introduces a strong electrostatic ield. This cavity is referred to as common pocket ( Figure 4A) as it is also found to be occupied by the aromatic ring bearing the carboxylate functional group of many nonselective COX inhibitors such as ibuprofen and lurbiprofen, respectively [38]. Furthermore, these two features of SC-558 binding are almost equivalent to the binding mode of lurbiprofen and indomethacin [33].…”

“…Vitorio et al used an advanced metadynamics-based computational technique to simulate the full dissociation process of a highly potent and selective inhibitor SC-558 in both COX-1 and COX-2 isoenzymes [38]. The metadynamics study of SC-558 dissociation process in COX-2 was able to reproduce the X-ray crystallographic pose and also revealed the possibility of an alternative binding mode (Figure 6A and B).…”

“…Anexa à referida cavidade, encontra-se uma cavidade polar circundada por His90, Gln192 e pelo resíduo da posição 513 (Histidina em COX-1, Arginina em COX-2), o que favorece a interação com grupos polares de ligantes em COX-2 porque o grupo guanidina de Arg513 é mais extenso que o anel imidazol de His513. 3,4 O desenvolvimento dos AINEs seletivos para COX-2, como celecoxibe (Celebra 1,5 A investigação da atividade COX-2-seletiva de novas moléculas naturais, sintéticas e semissintéticas, estruturalmente semelhantes ou não aos coxibes, continua, assim como a avaliação destas no tratamento de outras patologias como câncer e Mal de Alzheimer. 6 Considerando a biodiversidade brasileira, o pequeno número de estudos acerca do seu potencial farmacoterapêutico e a necessidade de se lançar no mercado outros fármacos COX-2 seletivos, tornase importante avaliar, in silico, a atividade inibitória de moléculas naturais sobre isoformas COX.…”
