| Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR γ) acts as a key regulator on adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. PPAR γ has been implicated in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. As human PPAR γ activity is considered important in improving insulin sensitivity, in silico screening was carried out to find potent agonists for human PPAR γ protein. The co-crystal structure of PPAR γ, solved through X-Ray diffraction method was retrieved from the protein data bank. Four PPAR γ agonists selected from literature were submitted to subsequent 2D searching protocol using Ligand.Info, which yielded 1699 structural analogs. The PPAR γ co-crystal structure and ligand dataset were... |

| Human CK2α2 is an enzyme that belongs to the Serine/Threonine protein kinase family which is involved in signal transduction. Over expression of CK2α2 causes kidney cancer therefore, human CK2α2 has been identified as a drug target for the development of potential antagonists against cancer therapy. The existing human CK2α2 inhibitors in clinical practice are having side effects like fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, anorexia and vomiting. High-throughput virtual screening is one of the most common method used to identify lead compounds was implemented in the present study to identify potential inhibitors of human CK2α2. The co-crystal structure of human CK2α2 was retrieved from the protein data bank. A... |
