The oxidation of unsaturated lipids, facilitated by the enzyme Arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15), is an essential element in the development of ferroptosis. This study combined a dual-score exclusion strategy with high-throughput virtual screening, naive Bayesian and recursive partitioning machine learning models, the already established ALOX15 inhibitor i472, and a docking-based fragment substitution optimisation approach to identify potential ALOX15 inhibitors, ultimately leading to the discovery of three FDA-approved drugs that demonstrate optimal inhibitory potential against ALOX15. Through fragment substitution-based optimisation, seven new inhibitor structures have been developed. To evaluate their practicality, ADMET predictions and molecular dynamics simulations were performed. In conclusion, the compounds found in this study provide a novel approach to combat conditions related to ferroptosis-related injury by inhibiting ALOX15.
由花生四烯酸15-脂氧合酶(ALOX15)促进的不饱和脂质氧化是铁死亡发展中的一个关键因素。本研究将双评分排除策略与高通量虚拟筛选、朴素贝叶斯和递归划分机器学习模型、已有的ALOX15抑制剂i472以及基于对接的片段取代优化方法相结合,以识别潜在的ALOX15抑制剂,最终发现了三种FDA批准的药物,它们对ALOX15具有最佳抑制潜力。通过基于片段取代的优化,开发了七种新的抑制剂结构。为评估其实用性,进行了ADMET预测和分子动力学模拟。总之,本研究中发现的化合物为通过抑制ALOX15来对抗与铁死亡相关损伤的病症提供了一种新方法。
