Abstract:
:Flavonoids correspond to a major class of polyphenolic phytochemicals with flavone as major parent scaffold. This class of compounds is attributed with very rich nutritional as well as therapeutic values. The present study focuses on a panel of 16 flavonoid molecules that are demonstrated to exhibit various bioactivities like anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory as well as possess antioxidant potential. The electronic basis of these bioactivities is rarely explored, and structural basis of flavonoid-induced cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition has still remained an uncharted area. The current report thus focuses on providing an electronic explanation of these bioactivities using density functional theory-based quantum chemical descriptors. We also attempt to provide a structure-activity relation model for COX by inhibition of these 16 flavonoids using molecular docking. Here, we report molecular dynamics data from 16 flavonoid-COX-2 complexes performed for 50 nanoseconds each that demonstrates key structural and dynamic aspects of flavonoid-based COX inhibition in light of observed experimental facts. Interaction analysis and evaluation of side-chain dynamics presented in current study are well in agreement with the empirical study and is hoped to pave new avenues towards design and development of COX-2 selective chemical agents.
