Computational investigation of potent inhibitors against YsxC: structure-based pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and binding free energy

Reena Kumari et al.

Summary: In Staphylococcus aureus, the GTP-binding protein YsxC plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. By using pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking, several molecules with higher binding affinities to YsxC than GTP were identified. These molecules share similar pharmacophore features of GTP and form stable complexes with YsxC through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. These findings provide potential candidates for designing novel antimicrobial agents against S. aureus.

Screening of marine natural products for potential inhibitors targeting biotin biosynthesis pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mubarak A. Alamri et al.

Summary: Tuberculosis remains a major global public health concern. The development of new drugs is necessary due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, comprehensive computational methods were used to identify compounds that bind to essential enzymes involved in biotin synthesis and ligation of M. tuberculosis. Two compounds were found to consistently bind to the enzymes with high affinity. These compounds could potentially be used in the design of effective anti-tuberculosis therapeutics by inhibiting bacterial growth through blocking biotin biosynthesis.

Promising antibacterials for LLM of Staphylococcus aureus using virtual screening, molecular docking, dynamics, and MMPBSA

Ravi Rathi et al.

Summary: In this study, virtual screening was used to identify potent antibacterial molecules that can target the LLM protein in S. aureus. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations showed that five identified molecules had higher affinities and stable interactions with the LLM protein compared to tunicamycin. These molecules can potentially be used as inhibitors of LLM in S. aureus, and even showed higher potency than previously reported molecules.

Caroline Wilson et al.

Summary: Although Benzofuran 1 showed promising activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a potential lead for TB drugs, its inhibition of the hERG cardiac ion channel remained a significant challenge. Despite improvements in vitro, concerns arose when new compounds induced cardiac irregularities in ex vivo cardiotoxicity models, leading to the halt of further series development.

The WHO Global Tuberculosis 2021 Report - not so good news and turning the tide back to End TB

Jeremiah Chakaya et al.

Summary: The 2021 WHO global TB report presents a grim situation in the global epidemic of TB, including a stagnation in TB incidence decline, a decline in TB notifications, and an increase in estimated TB deaths. None of the targets set at the 2018 United Nations High Level Meeting on TB were achieved. The sub-optimal global performance in achieving TB control targets in 2020 is attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, but TB programs were already off track before the pandemic, highlighting the fragility of the global TB response. Ending the global TB epidemic requires bold leadership, optimization of interventions, widespread coverage, addressing social determinants, and mobilization of adequate funding.

Drug-Repurposing Approach To Combat Staphylococcus aureus: Biomolecular and Binding Interaction Study

Vishakha Singh et al.

Summary: In this study, virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to identify potential drug molecules targeting FmtA, a key factor associated with methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. The top-ranked compounds, gemifloxacin, paromomycin, streptomycin, and tobramycin, showed high binding affinity and formed stable protein-inhibitor complexes. Experimental binding studies confirmed the strong binding affinity between these molecules and FmtA, providing potential starting points for the development of advanced antibacterial agents.

Structure-Based Identification of Potential Drugs Against FmtA of Staphylococcus aureus: Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics, MM-GBSA, and QM/MM

Vikram Dalal et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of FmtA, an esterase that plays a key role in methicillin resistance. Computational drug screening identified ofloxacin, roflumilast, and furazolidone as potential molecules with high binding affinities to FmtA. Molecular dynamics simulations and analysis revealed that the FmtA-drug complexes are stable and the residues in the active site of FmtA are essential for forming stable protein-ligand complexes with lower energy. Further testing and modification of these screened molecules are needed to develop antimicrobial compounds against S. aureus.
