Abstract
DPP4 inhibitors can control glucose homeostasis by increasing the level of GLP-1 incretins hormone due to dipeptidase mimicking. Despite the potent effects of DPP4 inhibitors, these compounds cause unwanted toxicity attributable to their effect on other enzymes. As a result, it seems essential to find novel and DPP4 selective compounds. In this study, we introduce a potent and selective DPP4 inhibitor via structure-based virtual screening, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, MM/PBSA calculations, DFT analysis, and ADMET profile. The screened compounds based on similarity with FDA-approved DPP4 inhibitors were docked towards the DPP4 enzyme. The compound with the highest docking score, ZINC000003015356, was selected. For further considerations, molecular docking studies were performed on selected ligands and FDA-approved drugs for DPP8 and DPP9 enzymes. Molecular dynamics simulation was run during 200 ns and the analysis of RMSD, RMSF, Rg, PCA, and hydrogen bonding were performed. The MD outputs showed stability of the ligand-protein complex compared to available drugs in the market. The total free binding energy obtained for the proposed DPP4 inhibitor was more negative than its co-crystal ligand (N7F). ZINC000003015356 confirmed the role of the five Lipinski rule and also, have low toxicity parameter according to properties. Finally, DFT calculations indicated that this compound is sufficiently soft.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from ɛ-amino of histone, and their involvement in the development and progression of cancer disorders makes them an interesting therapeutic target. This study seeks to discover new inhibitors that selectively inhibit HDAC enzymes which are linked to deadly disorders like T-cell lymphoma, childhood neuroblastoma, and colon cancer. MOE was used to dock libraries of ZINC database molecules within the catalytic active pocket of target HDACs. The top three hits were submitted to MD simulations ranked on binding affinities and well-occupied interaction mechanisms determined from molecular docking studies. Inside the catalytic active site of HDACs, the two stable inhibitors LIG1 and LIG2 affect the protein flexibility, as evidenced by RMSD, RMSF, Rg, and PCA. MD simulations of HDACs complexes revealed an alteration from extended to bent motional changes within loop regions. The structural deviation following superimposition shows flexibility via a visual inspection of movable loops at different timeframes. According to PCA, the activity of HDACs inhibitors induces structural dynamics that might potentially be utilized to define the nature of protein inhibition. The findings suggest that this study offers solid proof to investigate LIG1 and LIG2 as potential HDAC inhibitors.

Abstract
This study explains the vibration and interaction of three pharmaceutically active hydrazine derivatives, (E)-3-((2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)hydrazono)methyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (DFH), (E)-3-((2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazono)methyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (TMH), and (E)-3-((2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazono)methyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (BPH) using theoretical approach. The trend in chemical reactivity and stability of the studied compounds was observed to show increasing stability and decreasing reactivity and this was obtained from orbital energies. The effect of bromine and chlorine atoms, instead of fluorine atoms, is also noted. Surface analysis on the covalent bond was attained by ELF and LOL analysis. Biological activities were predicted using molecular docking studies. Docking results were analyzed with standard drugs, 5-fluorouracil/piperine. Antitumor activity of hydrazine derivatives was found to be higher than reference ones. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed for 100 ns to validate the stability behavior of hydrazine derivatives with the dual specificity threonine tyrosine kinase (TTK) protein. RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, and intermolecular analysis of DFH, TMH, and BPH with threonine tyrosine kinase forms stable ligand-protein interactions. The molecular and predictive biological properties of three pharmaceutically active hydrazine derivatives which can be helpful to researchers in future experimental validation through in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
A small library of benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine phthalimide and amine derivatives was evaluated for inhibitory activity against dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). The phthalimide derivatives exhibited better activity than the amine precursors, with 2-(2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (compound 14) as the most effective inhibitor (IC50 = 34.17 ± 5.11 μM). The five most potent selected inhibitors did not show cytotoxicity to a greater extent on Caco-2 cells, even at a concentration of 250 μM. Compound 14 is considered as a novel representative of the rare noncompetitive DPP-4 inhibitors. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation indicated the importance of the Tyr547, Lys554, and Trp629 residues of DPP-4 in the formation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex. These observations could be potentially utilized for the rational design and optimization of novel (structurally similar, with phthalimide moiety, or different) noncompetitive DPP-4 inhibitors, which are anyway rare, but favorable in terms of the saturation of substrate competition.

Abstract
The enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is of special importance for the treatment of phenylketonuria patients. The aim of this study was to find a stable recombinant PAL with suitable kinetic properties among all natural PAL producing species using in silico and experimental approaches. To find such a stable PAL among 481 natural isoforms, 48,000 of 3-D models were predicted using the Modeller 9.10 program and evaluated by Ramachandran plot. Correlation analysis between Ramachandran plot and the energy of different thermodynamic components indicated that this plot could be an appropriate tool to predict protein stability. Hence, PAL6 from Lotus japonicus (LjPAL6) was selected as a stable isoform. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation for 50 ns and docking has been conducted for LjPAL6-phenylalanine complex. The best PAL-phenylalanine frame was selected by re-docking with l-phenylalanine (L-Phe) and root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) value. MD simulation showed that the complex has a good stability, depicted by the low RMSD value, binding free energy and hydrogen bindings. Docking results showed that LjPAL6 has a high affinity toward l-Phe according to the low level of binding free energy. By overexpressing Ljpal6 in E. coli BL21, a total of 33.5 mg/l of protein was obtained, which has been increased to 83.7 mg/l via the optimization of LjPAL6 production using response surface methodology. The optimal pH and temperature were 8.5 and 50 °C, respectively. LjPAL6 showed a specific activity of 42 nkat/mg protein, with Km, Kcat and Kcat/Km values of 0.483 mM, 7 S-1 and 14.5 S-1 mM-1 for l-phe, respectively. In conclusion, finding models with the most reasonable stereo-chemical quality and lowest numbers of steric clashes would result in easier folding. Hence, in silico analyses of bulk data from natural origin will lead one to find an optimal model for in vitro studies and drug design.

Abstract
The inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) has emerged over the last decade as one of the most effective treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and consequently (a) 11 DPP-IV inhibitors have been on the market since 2006 (three in 2015), and (b) 74 noncovalent complexes involving human DPP-IV and drug-like inhibitors are available at the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The present review aims to (a) explain the most important activity cliffs for DPP-IV noncovalent inhibition according to the binding site structure of DPP-IV, (b) explain the most important selectivity cliffs for DPP-IV noncovalent inhibition in comparison with other related enzymes (i.e., DPP8 and DPP9), and (c) use the information deriving from this activity/selectivity cliff analysis to suggest how virtual screening protocols might be improved to favor the early identification of potent and selective DPP-IV inhibitors in molecular databases (because they have not succeeded in identifying selective DPP-IV inhibitors with IC50 ≤ 100 nM). All these goals are achieved with the help of available homology models for DPP8 and DPP9 and an analysis of the structure-activity studies used to develop the noncovalent inhibitors that form part of some of the complexes with human DPP-IV available at the PDB.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a target to treat type II diabetes mellitus. Therefore, it is important to understand the structural aspects of this enzyme and its interaction with drug candidates. This study involved molecular dynamics simulations, normal mode analysis, binding site detection and analysis of molecular interactions to understand the protein dynamics. We identified some DPP-4 functional motions contributing to the exposure of the binding sites and twist movements revealing how the two enzyme chains are interconnected in their bioactive form, which are defined as chains A (residues 40-767) and B (residues 40-767). By understanding the enzyme structure, its motions and the regions of its binding sites, it will be possible to contribute to the design of new DPP-4 inhibitors as drug candidates to treat diabetes.

Abstract
Three series of novel urushiol derivatives were designed by introducing a hydroxamic acid moiety into the tail of an alkyl side chain and substituents with differing electronic properties or steric bulk onto the benzene ring and alkyl side chain. The binding affinity toward HDAC2 of the compounds was screened by Glide docking. The best scoring compounds were processed further with molecular docking, MD simulations and binding free energy studies to analyze the binding modes and mechanisms. Six compounds, 21, 23, 10, 19, 9 and 30, gave Glide scores of -7.9 to -8.5, which revealed that introducing F, Cl, triazole, benzamido, formamido, hydroxyl or nitro substituents onto the benzene ring could increase binding affinity significantly. Molecular docking studies revealed that zinc ion coordination, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions contributed to the high calculated binding affinities of these compounds toward HDAC2 and that His145, His146, Gly154, Glu103, His183, Asp104, Tyr308 and Phe155 contributed favorably to the binding. MD simulations and binding free energy studies showed that all complexes possessed good stability as characterized by low RMSDs; low RMSFs of residues, moderate hydrogen bonding and zinc ion coordination; and low values of binding free energies. van der Waals and electrostatic interactions provided major contributions to the stability of these complexes. These results show the promising potential of urushiol derivatives as potent HDAC2 binding lead compounds.

Abstract
Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) has been emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Structure based virtual screening (SBVS) of Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI) database was performed using Glide and Gold against DPP-IV enzyme. Six promising hits were identified and tested for DPP-IV inhibition. Three compounds were found to be active at low micromolar concentration. The 3-(1-hydrazinyl-1-(phenylamino)ethyl)-4-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (compound A) was found to be the most potent hit with an IC50 of 0.73 μM. These three compounds (A, B and D) were then assessed for their glucose lowering effects in glucose fed hyperglycemic female Wistar rats. The glucose lowering effects of compounds also confirms their potential as anti-diabetic agents. The present study demonstrates a successful utilization of in silico SBVS tools in identification of novel and potential DPP-IV inhibitor.
