IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL DRUG CANDIDATES FOR BCELL LYMPHOMAS BY USING STRUCTURAL ANALOGUES OF PANOBINOSTAT BY MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES WITH BCL- 6 GENE Authors: Chinari SK , MITTAL S AND CHITRA V*
ABSTRACT
Objective: To identify a potential drug molecule for B-cell lymphoma based on the structural
analogues of Panobinostat, a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor via in silico docking studies
against the BCL6 gene and compared with Panobinostat.
Materials and Methodology: BCL6 protein structure was downloaded from the RCSB
protein databank. The ligands were selected and downloaded from PubChem. The docking
study was carried out using Flare docking software. The pharmacokinetic studies were done
using the SwissADME web tool.
Results: The in silico studies identified molecules with better binding energy than
Panobinostat(-7.507 Kcal/mol). The top 5 molecules were studied for their interaction with
the gene having a range of binding energy from -10.339 to -9.935 kcal/mol. The rank of the
compounds was determined based on the lowest energy score.
Conclusion: The docking study data and pharmacokinetic data suggested that the molecule
named CHEMBL341601 (PubChem ID: 11058122) could be used as a potential drug for
Lymphoma.
