Molecular Docking Studies Involving Transitional Metal Complexes (Zn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) with Cholic Acid (AC) as Ligand against Aurora A Kinase

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor, one of the main types of cancer which produces a large number of deaths each year in many countries around the world. The main objective of this work is to employ various bioinformatics tools to perform docking of the transitional metal complexes (Zn (II), Co (II), Cu (II), Fe (II), Ni (II)) with cholic acid (AC) as ligand against Aurora A Kinase (RCSB Protein Data Bank code: 2X6E). Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD) was used for the docking process. The molecular docking score and the values of the statistic parameter Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) are presented in Table 1. The results obtained in this study serve to design new complex combinations with potential action against Aurora A Kinase inhibitor.

Synthesis, Biological Activity, and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel 5‐Substituted‐1,2,4‐Triazole‐3‐thione Derivatives

“…Molecular docking, which is mainly used to predict the most probable binding mode of a ligand and protein, is an important method for drug design . In the present work, the target of the receptor protein mainly focuses on the fungus used in the biological experiments during docking studies to obtain meaningful results.…”

Study of the chemical structure and the microbial effect of iron(III) metal ions with four consecutive generations of quinolones in a nanometric form for the purpose of increasing the efficacy of antibacterial and antifungal drugs

“…Binding energies are most widely used as a mode of measuring the binding affinity of ligands. Thus, a decrease in binding energy due to mutation will increase the binding affinity of the ligands towards the receptor . The characteristic feature of ligands was the presence of several active sites available for hydrogen bonding.…”
