- W2938806944 abstract "NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK), which is considered as the central component of the non-canonical NF-κB pathway, has been proved to be an important target for the regulation of the immune system. In the past few years, NIK inhibitors with various scaffolds have been successively reported, among which type I1/2 inhibitors that can not only bind in the ATP-binding pocket at the DFG-in state but also extend into an additional back pocket, make up the largest proportion of the NIK inhibitors, and are worthy of more attention. In this study, an integration protocol that combines molecule docking, MD simulations, ensemble docking, MM/GB(PB)SA binding free energy calculations, and decomposition was employed to understand the binding mechanism of 21 tricyclic type I1/2 NIK inhibitors. It is found that the docking accuracy is largely dependent on the selection of docking protocols as well as the crystal structures. The predictions given by the ensemble docking based on multiple receptor conformations (MRCs) and the MM/GB(PB)SA calculations based on MD simulations showed higher linear correlations with the experimental data than those given by conventional rigid receptor docking (RRD) methods (Glide, GOLD, and Autodock Vina), highlighting the importance of incorporating protein flexibility in predicting protein-ligand interactions. Further analysis based on MM/GBSA demonstrates that the hydrophobic interactions play the most essential role in the ligand binding to NIK, and the polar interactions also make an important contribution to the NIK-ligand recognition. A deeper comparison of several pairs of representative derivatives reveals that the hydrophobic interactions are vitally important in the structural optimization of analogs as well. Besides, the H-bond interactions with some key residues and the large desolvation effect in the back pocket devote to the affinity distinction. It is expected that our study could provide valuable insights into the design of novel and potent type I1/2 NIK inhibitors." @default.
