Employing comparative QSAR techniques for the recognition of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene derivatives toward MMP-12 inhibition

Among various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-12 is one of the potential targets for cancer and other diseases. However, none of the MMP-12 inhibitors has passed the clinical trials to date. Therefore, designing potential MMP-12 inhibitors as new drug molecules can provide effective therapeutic strategies for several diseases. In this study, a series of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene derivatives were subjected to different 2D and 3D-QSAR techniques to point out the crucial structural contributions highly influential toward the MMP-12 inhibitory activity. These techniques identified some structural attributes of these compounds that are responsible for influencing their MMP-12 inhibition. The carboxylic group may enhance proper binding with catalytic Zn2+ ion at the MMP-12 active site. Again, the i-propyl sulfonamido carboxylic acid function contributed positively toward MMP-12 inhibition. Moreover, the dibenzofuran moiety conferred stable binding at the S1' pocket for higher MMP-12 inhibition. The steric and hydrophobic groups were found favourable near the furan ring substituted at the dibenzofuran moiety. Besides these ligand-based approaches, molecular docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation studies not only elucidated the importance of several aspects of these MMP-12 inhibitors while disclosing the significance of the finding of these QSAR studies and their influences toward MMP-12 inhibition. The MD simulation study also revealed stable and compact binding between such compounds at the MMP-12 active site. Therefore, the findings of these validated ligand-based and structure-based molecular modeling studies can aid the development of selective and potent lead molecules that can be used for the treatment of MMP-12-associated diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
