Abstract
- Cervical cancer begins in the cells lining the cervix and is caused by persistent infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Initially, it has no symptoms, and later it causes pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and pain during intercourse. It is the fourth-ranked cancer among women, and many women die from cervical cancer every year, particularly in low-income countries and the majority could be prevented with early detection and treatment. In this study, we have taken Cervical Cancer DNA Replication and Repair-Related Protein with the PDBID- 3H15, 5VBN, and 6NT9 and performed the multitargeted molecular docking with the FDA-approved drug library using HTVS, SP and XP docking. Then, the poses were filtered with MM\GBSA for proper computations of free energy, identified a multitargeted inhibitor Droxidopa with docking and MM\GBSA scores ranging from − 5.559 to − 6.835 Kcal/mol and − 26.04 to − 37.33 Kcal/mol, respectively. We also performed interaction fingerprints revealing 2VAL, 2LYS, 1ALA, 1ARG, 1ASN, 1CYS, 1GLN, 1GLU, 1ILE, 1MET, 1PHE, 1PRO, 1SER, and 1THR were most interacted residues and computed the ADMET properties with QikProp and DFT with Jaguar, which supported the study and compounds' suitability. Moreover, we performed the 100ns MD simulation in water, showing the controlled deviation and fluctuations of the residues with many interactions, and MM\GBSA was performed with the same trajectories, showing a better understanding of each frame's total complex and binding-free energy. The whole study favours droxidopa as an inhibitor of cervical cancer DNA Replication and Repair-Related Proteins—however, experimental studies are needed before use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
