Molecular Modeling Studies of <i>N</i>-phenylpyrimidine-4-amine Derivatives for Inhibiting FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase-3
Overexpression and frequent mutations in FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) are considered risk factors for severe acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hyperactive FLT3 induces premature activation of multiple intracellular signaling pathways, resulting in cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis. We conducted...

Overexpression and frequent mutations in FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) are considered risk factors for severe acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hyperactive FLT3 induces premature activation of multiple intracellular signaling pathways, resulting in cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis. We conducted the computational modeling studies of 40 pyrimidine-4,6-diamine-based compounds by integrating docking, molecular dynamics, and three-dimensional structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR). Molecular docking showed that K644, C694, F691, E692, N701, D829, and F830 are critical residues for the binding of ligands at the hydrophobic active site. Molecular dynamics (MD), together with Molecular Mechanics Poison–Boltzmann/Generalized Born Surface Area, i.e., MM-PB(GB)SA, and linear interaction energy (LIE) estimation, provided critical information on the stability and binding affinity of the selected docked compounds. The MD study suggested that the mutation in the gatekeeper residue F691 exhibited a lower binding affinity to the ligand. Although, the mutation in D835 in the activation loop did not exhibit any significant change in the binding energy to the most active compound.
