Multi-Target In Silico Prediction of Inhibitors for Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Interacting Kinases
The inhibitors of two isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinases (i.e., MNK-1 and MNK-2) are implicated in the treatment of a number of diseases including cancer. This work reports, for the first time, a multi-target (or multi-tasking) in silico modeling approach (mt-QSAR) for...

The inhibitors of two isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinases (i.e., MNK-1 and MNK-2) are implicated in the treatment of a number of diseases including cancer. This work reports, for the first time, a multi-target (or multi-tasking) in silico modeling approach (mt-QSAR) for probing the inhibitory potential of these isoforms against MNKs. Linear and non-linear mt-QSAR classification models were set up from a large dataset of 1892 chemicals tested under a variety of assay conditions, based on the Box–Jenkins moving average approach, along with a range of feature selection algorithms and machine learning tools, out of which the most predictive one (>90% overall accuracy) was used for mechanistic interpretation of the likely inhibition of MNK-1 and MNK-2. Considering that the latter model is suitable for virtual screening of chemical libraries—i.e., commercial, non-commercial and in-house sets, it was made publicly accessible as a ready-to-use FLASK-based application. Additionally, this work employed a focused kinase library for virtual screening using an mt-QSAR model. The virtual hits identified in this process were further filtered by using a similarity search, in silico prediction of drug-likeness, and ADME profiles as well as synthetic accessibility tools. Finally, molecular dynamic simulations were carried out to identify and select the most promising virtual hits.
