Coronaviruses are RNA viruses that infect varied species including humans. TMPRSS2 is gateway for SARS CoV-2 entry into the host cell. It causes proteolytic activation of spike protein and discharge of the peptide into host cell. The TMPRSS2 inhibition could be one of the approaches to stop the viral entry, therefore, interaction pattern and binding energies for Fisetin and TMPRSS2 have been explored in the present study. TMPRSS2 peptide was used for homology modelling and then for further study. Molecular docking score and MMGBSA Binding energy of Fisetin was better than Nafamostat, a known inhibitor of TMPRSS2. Post docking MM-GBSA free energy for Fisetin and Nafamostat was -42.78 and -21.11 kcal/mol, respectively. Fisetin forms H bond with Val 25, His 41, Lys 42, Lys 45, Glu 44, Ser186. Nafamostat formed H bonds with Lys 85, Asp 90, Asp 203. RMSD plots of TMPRSS2, TMPRSS2-Fisetin and TMPRSS2-Nafamostat complex showed stable profile with very small fluctuation during entire simulation of 150 ns. Significant decrease in TMPRSS2-Fisetin and TMPRSS2-Nafamostat complex fluctuation occurred around His 41, Glu 44, Gly 136, Ser 186 in RMSF study. During simulation Fisetin interaction was observed with residues Val 25, His 41, Glu 44, Lys 45, Lys 87, Gly 136, Gln 183, Ser 186 likewise interaction of Nafamostat with Lys 85, Asp 90, Asn 163, Asp 203 and Ser 205. Post simulation MM-GBSA free energy was found to be -51.87 ± 4.3 and -48.23 ± 4.39 kcal/mol for TMPRSS2 with Fisetin and Nafamostat, respectively.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
冠状病毒是一种感染多种物种的 RNA 病毒,包括人类。TMPRSS2 是 SARS CoV-2 进入宿主细胞的门户。它导致刺突蛋白的蛋白水解激活,并将肽释放到宿主细胞中。TMPRSS2 的抑制可能是阻止病毒进入的方法之一,因此,本研究探索了非那雄胺和 TMPRSS2 的相互作用模式和结合能。使用 TMPRSS2 肽进行同源建模,然后进行进一步研究。非那雄胺的分子对接评分和 MMGBSA 结合能优于 TMPRSS2 的已知抑制剂那法莫司他。非那雄胺和那法莫司他的对接后 MM-GBSA 自由能分别为-42.78 和-21.11 kcal/mol。非那雄胺与 Val 25、His 41、Lys 42、Lys 45、Glu 44、Ser186 形成氢键。那法莫司他与 Lys 85、Asp 90、Asp 203 形成氢键。TMPRSS2、TMPRSS2-非那雄胺和 TMPRSS2-那法莫司他复合物的 RMSD 图谱显示,在整个 150 ns 的模拟过程中,图谱稳定,波动非常小。在 RMSF 研究中,TMPRSS2-Fisetin 和 TMPRSS2-Nafamostat 复合物的波动显著减少,发生在 His 41、Glu 44、Gly 136、Ser 186 周围。在模拟过程中,观察到非那雄胺与 Val 25、His 41、Glu 44、Lys 45、Lys 87、Gly 136、Gln 183、Ser 186 相互作用,那法莫司他与 Lys 85、Asp 90、Asn 163、Asp 203 和 Ser 205 相互作用。模拟后,TMPRSS2 与非那雄胺和那法莫司他的 MM-GBSA 自由能分别为-51.87±4.3 和-48.23±4.39 kcal/mol。由 Ramaswamy H.
