Pharmacophore identification, virtual screening and biological evaluation of prenylated flavonoids derivatives as PKB/Akt1 inhibitors
摘要:
A total of 24 well-defined PKB/Akt1 inhibitors were used to generate pharmacophore models applying Catalyst/HypoGen program. The best ranked model (Hypo_1) was then validated by cost analysis, prediction capability, Cat-Scramble and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) studies. Then, pharmacophore-based virtual screening combined with docking study was performed to search an in-house compound database. Nine preferable hits 75-80, HTS-02143, BTB-14740 and HTS-08006 were prepared and biologically evaluated. Several compounds were identified as good PKB/Akt1 inhibitors, suggesting that Hypo_l would be reliable and useful in virtual screening. Flow cytometric and western blotting analysis on compounds 79 and 80 further demonstrated that the inhibition of phosphorylation of PKB/Akt1 and its substrates (such as GSK beta) was responsible for their cytotoxic activities.

Five prenylatedchalcones and one allylated chalcone were prepared according to the analysis based on support vector machine (SVM) classification model. Most of the synthesized chalcones showed potent vasorelaxant activities through evaluation in aortic rings with the endothelium pre‐contracted by phenylephrine (PE), indicating that the experimental activities were in good agreement with the theoretical
