In silico exploration and in vitro validation of the filarial thioredoxin reductase inhibitory activity of Scytonemin and its derivatives
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) caused by the vector borne parasitic nematode Wuchereria bancrofti is of major concern of the World Health Organization (WHO). Lack of potential drug candidates worsens the situation. Presently available drugs are promising in killing the microfilaria (mf) but are not effective as adulticidal therapeutics. Previous studies have revealed that routine administration of the available drugs (albendazole, ivermectin and albendazole) sometime is associated with severe adverse effects (SAEs) in co-infection state. Therefore, potential and safe therapeutics are still required. Earlier studies on filarial thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) have shown that successful inhibition of it can lead to apoptotic death of the parasites. TrxR in filarial parasites plays a significant role in disease progression and pathogenesis, hence efficient non-reversible inhibition of TrxR can be a good strategy to treat LF. In this research, inhibitory potential of Scytonemin, a cyanobacterial metabolite on filarial TrxR was evaluated via different in silico methods and validated through in vitro experiments. Parasite death upon exposure to Scytonemin can be correlated with the TrxR inhibiting capacity of the compound. Therefore, this cyanobacterial-derived compound may possibly be used further as novel and safe therapeutic candidate against filarial infection.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
