CDK6 is considered as a highly validated anticancer drug target due to its essential role in regulating cell cycle progression at G1 restriction point. Activation of CDK6 requires the phosphorylation of Thr177 on A-loop, but the structural insights of the activation mechanism remain unclear. Herein, all-atoms mol. dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study the effects of Thr177 phosphorylation on the dynamic structure of CDK6-Vcyclin complex. MD results indicated that the free energy barrier of the transition from open to closed state decreased ∼ 47.2% after Thr177 phosphorylation. Key steps along the state transition process were obtained from a cluster anal. Binding preference of ten different inhibitors to open or closed state were also investigated through mol. docking along with MD simulations methods. Our results indicated that Thr177 phosphorylation increased the flexibility around the ATP-binding pocket. The transition of the ATP-binding pocket between open and closed states should be considered for understanding the binding of CDK6 inhibitors. This work could deepen the understanding of CDKs activation mechanism, and provide useful information for the discovery of new CDKs inhibitors with high affinity and specificity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 8-Cyclopentyl-2-((4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)amino)-7-oxo-7,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (cas: 1357470-29-1Category: piperazines).
8-Cyclopentyl-2-((4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)amino)-7-oxo-7,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (cas: 1357470-29-1) belongs to piperazine derivatives. A form in which piperazine is commonly available industrially is as the hexahydrate, C4H10N2. 6H2O, which melts at 44 °C and boils at 125–130 °C. Piperazine is an anthelminthic especially useful in the treatment of partial intestinal obstruction caused by Ascaris worms, which is a condition primarily seen in children. Piperazine hydrate and piperazine citrate are the main anthelminthic piperazines.Category: piperazines
