Abstract
Cancer is a condition where certain body cells uncontrollably multiply and invade other parts of the body. The study deals with molecular interactions within the Raf/Ras/MEK/ERK signalling pathway with the MEK1 as a focal point. The main goal of this study is to investigate diarylbenzimidazole derivatives as potential MEK1 inhibitors. The study evaluates 15 drug candidates designed to target the MEK1 receptor, an important biomolecule in cancer progression. The aim is to determine their effectiveness and binding affinities through various analyses, including docking, molecular dynamics simulations and free binding energy calculations. To provide insights into the structural stability and dynamic behavior of the drug-receptor complexes, several parameters were calculated (RMSD, RMSF, RoG, SASA). Compounds L05, L15 and referent Trametinib showed the best docking fit with the MEK 1 kinase. Based on the experimental values molecular dynamics and free binding energy, L15 is a potential drug candidate. Next step is to experimentally validate the obtained computational results of potential drug candidates.
Abstract (croatian)
Rak je stanje u kojem se određene tjelesne stanice nekontrolirano umnožavaju i napadaju druge dijelove tijela. Studija se bavi međumolekulskim interakcijama unutar signalizacijskog puta Raf/Ras/MEK/ERK, s MEK1 proteinom kao fokalnom točkom. Glavni cilj ove studije je istražiti 15 derivata diarilbenzimidazola kao potencijalne inhibitore MEK1 receptora, važne molekule u progresiji raka. Cilj je utvrditi njihovu učinkovitost i afinitete vezanja kroz različite analize, uključujući molekularno prijanjanje, simulacije molekularne dinamike te izračune slobodne energije vezanja. Strukturalna stabilnost kompleksa te interkacije kompleksa receptor-ligand potvrđena je praćenjem raznih parametara (RMSD, RMSF, RoG, SASA). Rezultati molekularnog prijanjanja indiciraju najjače veze između MEK1 i spojeva L05, L15 te referentnog Trametiniba. Na temelju rezultata molekularne dinamike i izračuna slobodne energije, L15 je potencijalni kandidat za lijek. Sljedeći korak je eksperimentalna validicija dobivenih rezultata računalne analize potencijalnih kandidata za lijek.
