METHODS: Here, molecular modelling techniques tested 49 diterpene compounds of Azorella and six FDA-approved antibiotics medicines for antibiofilm activity. Since protein-like interactions are crucial in drug discovery, AutoDock Vina was initially employed to carry out structure-based virtual screening. The drug-likeness and ADMET properties of the chosen compounds were examined to assess the antibiofilm activity further. Lipinski\'s rule of five was then applied to determine the antibiofilm activity. Then, molecular electrostatic potential was used to determine the relative polarity of a molecule using the Gaussian 09 package and GaussView 5.08. Following three replica molecular dynamic simulations (using the Schrodinger program, Desmond 2019-4 package) that each lasted 100 ns on the promising candidates, binding free energy was estimated using MM-GBSA. Structural visualisation was used to test the binding affinity of each compound to the crystal structure of dispersin B protein (PDB: 1YHT), a well-known antibiofilm compound.
方法:这里,分子建模技术测试了49种Azorella的二萜化合物和六种FDA批准的抗生素药物的抗生物膜活性。由于蛋白质样相互作用在药物发现中至关重要,AutoDockVina最初用于进行基于结构的虚拟筛选。检查所选化合物的药物相似性和ADMET特性以进一步评估抗生物膜活性。然后应用Lipinski的5法则来确定抗生物膜活性。然后,分子静电势用于使用高斯09包和高斯视图5.08确定分子的相对极性。在三个复制分子动力学模拟之后(使用薛定谔程序,德斯蒙德2019-4套餐),每个人对有希望的候选人持续100ns,使用MM-GBSA估计结合自由能。结构可视化用于测试每种化合物与分散蛋白B(PDB:1YHT)晶体结构的结合亲和力,一种众所周知的抗生物膜化合物。
