3D-QSAR, Molecular Docking, and MD Simulations of Anthraquinone Derivatives as PGAM1 Inhibitors

PGAM1 is overexpressed in a wide range of cancers, thereby promoting cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth, so it is gradually becoming an attractive target. Recently, a series of inhibitors with various structures targeting PGAM1 have been reported, particularly anthraquinone derivatives. In p...

Recently, a series of inhibitors with various structures targeting PGAM1 have been reported, particularly anthraquinone derivatives. In present study, the structure–activity relationships and binding mode of a series of anthraquinone derivatives were probed using three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationships (3D-QSAR), molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA, r2 = 0.97, q2 = 0.81) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA, r2 = 0.96, q2 = 0.82) techniques were performed to produce 3D-QSAR models, which demonstrated satisfactory results, especially for the good predictive abilities.
