Abstract:
:A computational approach was utilized to study the relative binding modes of diospyrin (bisnaphthoquinonoid) with the crystal structure of human DNA-TopoI and the recently reported Leishmania donavani DNA-TopoI. Additionally, the binding site interactions of amino derivatives of diospyrin with human TopoI were studied extensively. Based on the docking results, binding modes of diospyrin with the human and leishmanial TopoI catalytic core were predicted. The parallel use of two efficient and predictive docking programs, GOLD and Ligandfit, allowed mutual validation of the predicted binding poses. A reasonably good correlation coefficient between the calculated docking scores and the experimentally determined cytotoxicity helped in validating the docking method. Furthermore, a structure-based pharmacophore model was developed for L. donavani DNA-TopoI inhibition which helped in elucidating the topological and spatial requirements of the ligand-receptor interactions. This study provides an understanding of the structural basis of ligand binding to the topoisomerase receptor, which may be used for the structure-based design of potent and novel ligands for anticancer and antileishmanial therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a binding mode exploration study for diospyrin and its derivatives as inhibitors of the leishmanial and human TopoI enzymes.
