A novel Artificial Intelligence Protocol to Investigate Potential Leads
for Parkinson's Disease
Abstract
Background:Previous studies have shown that small molecule inhibitors
of NLRP3 may be a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease. NACHT,
LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), Heat shock protein HSP
90-beta (HSP90AB1), Caspase-1 (CASP1) and Cellular tumor antigen p53
(TP53) have significant involvement in the pathogenesis pathway of PD.
Purpose:Since Parkinson’s syndrome has a serious impact on the quality
of life of patients, we desire to investigate Potential Leads with
artificial intelligence methods Experimental approach: Molecular docking
was used to screen traditional Chinese medicine database TCM Database
@Taiwan (http://tcm.cmu.edu.tw). Top TCM compounds with high affinities
based on Dock Score were selected to form the drug-target interaction
network in order to investigate potential candidates targeting the four
proteins. Artificial intelligence model, 3D-QSAR were constructed
respectively utilizing training sets of inhibitors against the four
proteins with known inhibitory activities (pIC50). After that, we
conducted molecular dynamics simulation of these compounds and finally
identified candidate compounds. Key Results: 2007_22057, 2007_22325
and 2007_15317 which are from TCM database may show great biological
activities with targets. Conclusions: The results shown that
2007_22057, 2007_22325 and 2007_15317 might be a potential medicine
formula for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease.
