Abstract:
In this study, molecular docking studies were carried out to explore the binding interactions of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) with its inhibitors. A correlation between the docking scores and the experimental bioactivity was observed (R2 = 0.8368, N = 24). The new inhibitors were designed using the 3D quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) method, and the activities were predicted by the docking method. In order to understand the structure-activity correlation of compound 1 m (the highest score of docking) and compound 1 t (the lowest score), we carried out a combined molecular dynamics simulation and MM-GBSA method. It was found that, in the system of SGLT2-1 m, the interaction between Gln271 and Val272 exhibited significant effects, which were absent in the SGLT2-1 t system. This study is expected to shed light on the mechanism of action of compound 1 m, leading to development of active drug candidates targeting SGLT2.
