- W4381486405 abstract "To date, Cancer remains a global threat due to its impact on growing life expectancy. With the many efforts and methods of combating the disease, complete success remains a challenge owing to several limitations including cancer cells developing resistance through mutations, off-target effect of some cancer drugs resulting in toxicities, among many others. Aberrant DNA methylation is understood to be the primary reason for improper gene silence, which can result in neoplastic transformation, carcinogenesis, and tumour progression. DNA methyltransferase B (DNMT3B) enzyme is considered a potential target for the treatment of several cancers due to its important role in DNA methylation. However, only a few DNMT3B inhibitors have been reported to date. Herein, in silico molecular recognition techniques such as Molecular docking, Pharmacophore-based virtual screen and MD simulation were employed to identify potential inhibitors of DNMT3B that can halt aberrancy in DNA methylation. Findings initially identified 878 hit compounds based on a designed pharmacophore model from the reference compound Hypericin. Molecular docking was used to rank the hits by testing their efficiency when bound to the target enzyme and the top three (3) selected. All three (3) of the top hits showed excellent pharmacokinetic properties but two (2) (Zinc33330198 and Zinc77235130) were identified to be non-toxic. Molecular dynamic simulation of the final two hits showed good stability, flexibility, and structural rigidity of the compounds on DNMT3B. Finally, thermodynamic energy estimations show both compounds had favourable free energies comprising − 26.04 kcal/mol for Zinc77235130 and − 15.73 kcal/mol for Zinc33330198. Amongst the final two hits, Zinc77235130 showed consistency in favourable results across all the tested parameters and was thus selected as the lead compound for further experimental validation. The identification of this lead compound will form important basis for the inhibition of aberrant DNA methylation in cancer therapy." @default.
