AbstractRetinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer form in both benign and malignant tumour especially affecting child.

Retinoblastoma 1 is a tumour suppressor gene. Functionality of the protein specified in two pockets, pocket A (amino acid 394 to 572) and pocket B (amino acid 646 to 792). This binding site is mainly involved in normal function of retinoblastoma 1 tumour suppressor activity. In the present study we have analyzed antitumour activity for human eye cancer from cyclophosphamide analogs. Totally we selected ten cyclophosphamide analogs and one currently available market drug cyclophosphamide as a reference compounds for molecular docking studies against human eye cancer protein Retinoblastoma 1 and also Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion properties of these compounds were carried out by using QikProp. Among the many cyclophosphamide analogs one of them (perfosfamide) are showing best glide score and more number of hydrogen bond against human eye cancer protein retinoblastoma, and it was found to be under acceptable range with predicted ADME properties. From the molecular interaction studies we are concluding that the above mentioned cyclophosphamide analogs perfosfamide have best anti tumour activity against human eye cancer.

-35% of breast cancer. Heterozygosity loss of Rb1 can cause tumor. 40% of retinoblastoma is caused by hereditary and remaining 60% caused are without familial history [1,2]. In the current study we have analyzed anti-tumour activity of the compounds from ten cyclophosphamide analogs and one commercially available compound cyclophosphamide as reference compound for in silico docking studies against human eye cancer protein Retinoblastoma 1, ADME properties were carried out for these compounds by using Glide extra precision and QikProp.

Materials and MethodsCrystal structure selection for target protein Rb1

There are several X-ray crystal structures were available in the Protein Data Bank for Rb1 protein. The better quality of the retinoblastoma 1 protein structure was identified by using model validation methods PROCHECK and ERRAT [7]. The PROCHECK programs are useful for assessing the quality not only of protein structures in the process of being solved but also of existing structures and of those being modeled on known structures. The PROCHECK suite of programs provides a detailed check on the stereo chemical quality of a given protein structure. The PROCHECK was used to generate Ramachandran plot and the quality of the structure was computed in terms of % of residues in favorable regions, % of non proline, glycine residues etc. The quality of structure was also further accessed by using ERRAT [8]. ERRAT is a protein structure

verification algorithm that is especially well-suited for evaluating the progress of crystallographic model building and refinement.

Preparation of protein structure

The crystal structure of Retinoblastoma 1 protein (PDB ID: 2R7G), was recovered from the Protein Data Bank [9]. After selected the protein structure, protein preparation wizard of Schrödinger suite has been used to prepare protein structure. All unwanted water molecules were removed from the protein structure, metal are treated and hydrogen atoms were added, all atom force field (OPLS-2005) charges and atom types were assigned. Energy was minimized until the average root mean square deviations of non-hydrogen atoms reached 3.0 Å.

Preparation of Cyclophosphamide and their analogs

Cyclophosphamide is currently available drug for retinoblastoma 1[10]. The 3D structures of cyclophosphamide and their ten analogs were obtained from Pubchem database [11]. All these ligands structures was prepared for molecular docking studies using ligprep, version 2.3 [12]. The ligand structure energy were minimized, partial atomic charges were computed using the OPLS-2005 force field by using

Schrödinger suite. The 2D representation of the cyclophosphamide and their ten analogs were depicted in figure 1.

Docking studies

The prepared protein was further taken into docking studies. The cyclophosphamide and their ten analogs were obtained from Pubchem database. Each ligand is separately docked with structure of the retinoblastoma 1 protein by using Glide extra precision [13]. The grid was prepared for protein with the exact same center and the size of the bounding box set on 30 Å. The grid box enclosed at the centroid of the retinoblastoma receptor. The grid box center -8.8452, -6.9348, and -15.9663 for x, y and z coordinates. The glide algorithm is based on a systematic search of positions, orientation and conformations of the ligand in the receptor binding site using funnel type approach. The cut off extra precision scoring parameters for extra precision docking were set to 0.0 Kcal/mol. The glide score and glide energy were analyzed by using glide extra precision visualizer.

Results and DiscussionSeveral crystal structures are available for the retinoblastoma

1 protein in protein Data Bank. We have analysis structure quality checking by using PROCHECK and ERRAT to identify the structure which is the best one. The results shows the 2R7G crystal structure was good quality for molecular docking studies based on the quality factor and stereochemistry analysis and structure resolution value from PDB among ten Retonoblastoma1 crystal structures. The Ramachandran plot shows most favored region 94.4% residues, in additional allowed region 5.1% residues, in generously allowed region 0.3% residues and in disallowed region 0.2% residues (Figure 2). The structure resolution value 1.67 Å was obtained from Protein Data Bank. The overall quality factor of the protein 98.946 shows in ERRAT plot (Figure 3). The PROCHECK, ERRAT and structure resolution value were reported in table 2.

Protein-ligand complex interaction analysis

Docking of retinoblastoma 1 with perfosfamide: Docked simulation of perfosfamide into Retinoblastoma 1 resulted in the formed five hydrogen bonds and observed the chain A ASN 522 protein molecule of the hydrogen atom interacted with oxygen atom of the Ligand molecule with bond length (1.8 Å). The protein molecule of the hydrogen atom, act as hydrogen bond donor. The oxygen atom of the ligand molecule, act as hydrogen bond acceptor. The protein molecule of the chain C ARG 418 hydrogen atom interacted with oxygen atom of the Ligand with bond distance (2.4 Å). The hydrogen atom of the protein molecule, act as hydrogen bond donor whereas the ligand molecule of

Protein-ligand complex were further taken into PyMol. PyMol is a molecular visualization tool. PyMol viewer is used to analyse the type of interaction between ligand and protein. To identify the residues located in binding pocket, protein structure were enlarge around the bound ligand [14]. The hydrogen bond interaction and their distance were analyzed were depicted in figure 4-14. The glide score, glide energy, number of hydrogen bonds and their distance were reported in table 1.

ADME properties analysis

The QikProp program was used to predict the ADME properties of the compounds. The QikProp predicts both pharmaceutically relevant and physically significant descriptor. The predicted ADME properties such as number of molecular weight, hydrophophic SASA, hydrophilic SASA, number of rotatable bonds, number of hydrogen bond donor

pharmaceutically relevant properties of the cyclophosphamide and their ten cyclophosphamide analogs including molecular weight, hydrogen bond donor, hydrogen bond acceptor, log p (octanol/water), log p (octanol/gas), log p (water/gas), log p (hexadecane/gas), log p Caco cell permeability, log pMDCK, serum binding protein, Lipinski’s rule of five, percentage of human oral absorption were reported in table 3. Lipinski’s rule of five is a rule of thumb to evaluate drug likeness, or determine if a chemical compound with a certain pharmacological (or) biological activity has properties that would make it a like orally active drug in human, The rule describes molecular properties that are important in the drug is pharmacokinetics in the human body, including its ADME. These compounds were further evaluated for their drug-like behavior through analysis of pharmacokinetics parameters required for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) by using QikProp. The cyclophosphamide and their ten analogs were in the acceptable range of Lipinski’s rule of five, hydrophobic SASA, hydrophilic and partition coefficient (QP log p (octanol/water)), that defines their liphophilic nature and quality these compounds for proper absorption and permeability. While the cell permeability (QPlog pCaco), a key factor governing drug metabolism and its access to biological membranes, ranged from 687 to 6216. QPPMDCK ranges from -3.070 to 10000. Overall, the percentage human oral absorption for the compounds ranged from 74 to 100%. All the pharmacokinetics parameters are within the acceptable range defines for human use, there by indicates their potential use as drug-like molecules.

ConclusionIn the present study molecular interaction studies were performed

for ten cyclophosphamide analogs and commercially available drug cyclophosphamide. The following ligand perfosfamide having better glide score (-6.50) and more number of hydrogen bond interaction good binding affinity with Rb1 protein (PDB ID: 2R7G) when compare to the commercially available drug cyclophosphamide and their analogs. From the molecular interaction studies we concluded that the following ligand perfosfamide could a potential inhibitor for human eye cancer protein Rb1 in human.
