In silico identification and study of potential anti-mosquito juvenile hormone binding protein (MJHBP) compounds as candidates for dengue virus - Vector insecticides
Dengue has become a huge global health burden. It is currently recognized as the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease. Yet, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific therapeutics to manage the virus, thus, scaling up vector control approaches is important in controlling thi...

Dengue has become a huge global health burden. It is currently recognized as the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease. Yet, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific therapeutics to manage the virus, thus, scaling up vector control approaches is important in controlling this viral spread. This study aimed to identify and study in silico, potential anti-mosquito compounds targeting Juvenile hormone (JH) mediated pathways via the Mosquito Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein (MJHBP). The study was implemented using series of computational methods. The query compounds included pyrethroids and those derived from ZINC and ANPDB databases using a simple pharmacophore model in Molecular Operating Environment (MOE). Molecular docking of selected compounds’ library was implemented in MOE. The resultant high-score compounds were further validated by molecular dynamics simulation via Maestro 12.3 module and the respective Prime/Molecular Mechanics Generalized Born Surface Area (Prime/MM-GBSA) binding energies computed. The study identified compounds-pyrethroids, natural and synthetic - with high docking energy scores (ranging from 10.91–12.34 kcal/mol). On further analysis of the high-ranking (in terms of docking scores) compounds using MD simulation, the compounds - Ekeberin D4, Maesanin, Silafluofen and ZINC16919139- revealed very low binding energies (−122.99, −72.91 -104.50 and,-74.94 kcal/mol respectively), fairly stable complex and interesting interaction with JH-binding site amino acid residues on MJHBP.
