Increasing melanogenesis process causes excessive melanin synthesis resulting in darkening of the skin color. The melanogenesis process requires mealnogenesis enzymes, one of which is tyrosinase-related protein 1. One of the flavonoid compounds that has the potential as a skin lightening agent is quercetin. The antioxidant activity of quercetin plays a very important role in antimelanogenesis. This study aims to determine the affinity and molecular mechanism of quercetin on the target protein tyrosinase-related protein 1 using in silico molecular docking method. Molecular docking is carried out through stages including optimization of the structure of quercetin compounds, preparation of the target protein tyrosinase-related protein 1, validation of the molecular docking method, and docking of quercetin on the tyrosinase-related protein 1. Docking of quercetin with tyrosinase-related protein 1 produces binding energy values of -7.81 kcal/mol, while docking of native ligand with tyrosinase-related protein 1 produces binding energy values of -5.39 kcal/mol. Quercetin has a strong affinity for tyrosinase-related protein 1 which is indicated by the binding energy from the docking results. Quercetin has activity as a skin whitening agent with in silico test with molecular mechanisms through inhibition of the activity of tyrosinase-related protein 1 enzyme.  Keywords: skin whitening agent, in silico, quercetin, tyrosinase-related protein 1

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality in India. Adenosine receptor (AR) has emerged as a novel cancer-specific target. A3AR levels are upregulated in various tumor cells, which may mean that the specific AR may act as a biological marker and target specific ligands leading to cell growth inhibition. Aim: Our aim was to study the utility of the TNF-α agonist, AB MECA, by in silico (molecular docking) and in vitro (human cancer cells in xenografted mice) studies. Method: Molecular docking on the AB-meca and TNF-α was performed using AutoDock. A549 Human lung cancer 2 ×106 cells per microliter per mouse injected via intrabronchial route. Rat TNF-α level was assessed by ELISA method. Results: AB Meca's predicted binding energy (beng) with TNF-α was 97.13 kcal/mol, and the compatible docking result of a small molecular inhibitor with TNF-α native ligand beng was 85.76 kcal/mol. In vivo, a single dose of lung cancer cell A549 is being researched to potentiate tumor development. Doxorubicin and A3AR agonist therapies have lowered TNF-alpha levels that were associated with in silico function. The A3AR Agonist myeloprotective effect was also found in groups treated with doxorubicin. Conclusion: AB MECA’s higher binding energy (beng) with TNF-α mediated reduction of tumor growth in our lung cancer in vivo model suggests that it may be an effective therapy for lung cancer.

Background: There are over 44 million persons who suffer with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) worldwide, no existence of cure and only symptomatic treatments are available for it. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-Alzheimer potential of designed AChEI analogues using computer simulation docking studies. AChEIs are the most potential standards for treatment of AD, because they have proven efficacy. Among all AChEIs donepezil possesses lowest adverse effects, it can treat mildmoderate- severe AD and only once-daily dosing is required. Therefore, donepezil is recognized as a significant prototype for design and development of new drug molecule. Methods: In this study the Inhibitory potential of the design compounds on acetylcholinesterase enzyme has been evaluated. Docking studies has been performed which further analyzed by in-silico pharmacokinetic evaluation through pharmacopredicta after that Interaction modes with enzyme active sites were determined. Docking studies revealed that there is a strong interaction between the active sites of AChE enzyme and analyzed compounds. Results: As a result 26 compounds have been indicates better inhibitory activity on AChE enzyme and all the screening parameters have also been satisfied by all 26 compounds. From these 26 compounds, six compounds 17, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 56 are found to be the most potent inhibitors of this series by insilico study through INVENTUS v 1.1 software, having highest bio-affinities i.e. - 8.51, - 7.67, - 8.30, - 7.59, - 8.71 and -7.62 kcal/mol respectively, while the standard or reference drug donepezil had binding affinity of - 6.32 kcal/mol. Conclusion: Computer aided drug design approach has been playing an important role in the design and development of novel anti- AD drugs.

Biperiden is a drug used in Parkinson disease treatment and it serves also as an antiseizures compound in organophosphates poisoning. It acts as antagonist of muscarinic receptor activated by acetylcholine while the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cleaves acetylcholine in synaptic junction into choline and acetic acid. This enzyme is inhibited by various compounds; however there has not been proposed evidence about interaction with biperiden molecule. We investigated this interaction using standard Ellman’s assay and experimental findings were critically completed with an in silico prediction by SwissDock docking software. Uncompetitive mechanism of action was revealed from Dixon plot and inhibition constant (Ki) was calculated to be 1.11 mmol/l. The lowest predicted binding energy was −7.84 kcal/mol corresponding to H-bond between biperiden molecule and Tyr 341 residuum in protein structure of AChE. This interaction seems to be further stabilized by π-π interaction with Tyr 72, Trp 286, and Tyr 341. In conclusion, biperiden appears as a very weak inhibitor but it can serve as a lead structure in a pharmacological research.

COVID-19 is a viral disease that has been a threat to the whole world since 2019. Although effective vaccines against the disease have been developed, there are still points to be clarified about the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2, which is the causative agent of COVID-19. In this study, we determined the binding energies and the bond types of complexes formed by open (6VYB) and closed (6VXX) forms of the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and wild and mutant forms of IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3 proteins using the molecular docking approach. First, all missense SNPs were found in the NCBI Single Nucleotide Polymorphism database (dbSNP) for IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3 and analyzed with SIFT, PROVEAN, PolyPhen-2, SNAP2, Mutation Assessor, and PANTHER cSNP web-based tools to determine their pathogenicity. When at least four of these analysis tools showed that the SNP had a pathogenic effect on the protein product, this SNP was saved for further analysis. Delta delta G (DDG) and protein stability analysis for amino acid changes were performed in the web-based tools I-Mutant, MUpro, and SAAFEC-SEQ. The structural effect of amino acid change on the protein product was made using the HOPE web-based tool. HawkDock server was used for molecular docking and Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area (MM/GBSA) analysis and binding energies of all complexes were calculated. BIOVIA Discovery Studio program was utilized to visualize the complexes. Hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, and non-bonded contacts between Spike and IFITM protein chains in the complexes were detected with the PDBsum web-based tool. The best binding energy among the 6VYB-IFITM wild protein complexes belong to 6VYB-IFITM1 (-46.16 kcal/mol). Likewise, among the 6VXX-IFITM wild protein complexes, the most negative binding energy belongs to 6VXX-IFITM1 (-52.42 kcal/mol). An interesting result found in the study is the presence of hydrogen bonds between the cytoplasmic domain of the IFITM1 wild protein and the S2 domain of 6VYB. Among the Spike-IFITM mutant protein complexes, the best binding energy belongs to the 6VXX-IFITM2 N63S complex (-50.77 kcal/mol) and the worst binding energy belongs to the 6VXX-IFITM3 S50T complex (4.86 kcal/mol). The study suggests that IFITM1 protein may act as a receptor for SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. Assays must be advanced from in silico to in vitro for the determination of the receptor-ligand interactions between IFITM proteins and SARS-CoV-2.
