This study aimed to predict the molecular interaction and dynamic behavior of naturally occurring 1,2-diphenyline ketone analogues at the adenosine triphosphate binding site of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3 beta. The results showed that 1,3,5,6-Tetrahydroxyxanthone and 1,3,6-Trihydroxy-2-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-butenyl) xanthone may act as potential ligands to inhibit GSK-3 beta and alleviate neurodegenerative diseases.
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3 beta is one of the downstream signalling molecules involved in phosphorylation of glycogen synthase, a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. GSK-3 beta regulate some of the critical processes underlying structural and functional synaptic plasticity of neurons. Down regulation or inhibition of GSK-3 beta enhances long-term potentiation and cognitive functions in animal models of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A number of compounds are available to inhibit GSK-3 beta, however none of them are in clinical practice to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of our study was to predict the molecular interaction and dynamic behaviour of naturally occurring 1,2-diphenyline ketone analogues at the adenosine triphosphate binding site of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3 beta through simulation studies. Out of all 1,2-diphenyline ketone analogues,1, 3, 5, 6-Tetrahydroxyxanthone (Rank = 1), Secalonic acid F (Rank = 2), and Trihydroxy-2-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-butenyl) xanthone (Rank = 3) were found to exhibit lowest docking score of -12.07, -11.49, and -11.24 kcal/mol with dissociation constant of 1.37, 3.84, and 5.99 nM, respectively. The molecular dynamic simulation of rank 1 and rank 3 ligands indicated stable interaction throughout the simulation and interaction analyses has shown that the presence of hydroxyl groups at C1, C3, C5, and C6 around 1,2 diphenyline ketone nucleus to influence their binding affinity at the ATP-binding site of GSK-3 beta. We predicted that 1,3,5,6-Tetrahydroxyxanthone and 1, 3, 6-Trihydroxy-2-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-butenyl) xanthone may act as a potential ligand or lead compound to inhibit GSK-3 beta and also may play an important role in alleviating neurodegenerative diseases.
