3D-QSAR, Scaffold Hopping, Virtual Screening, and Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Pyridin-2-one as mIDH1 Inhibitors

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a necessary enzyme for cellular respiration in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) has been detected overexpressed in a variety of cancers. mIDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib (AG-120) was only approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing, nevertheless, a range of resistance has been frequently reported. In this study, several mIDH1 inhibitors with the common backbone pyridin-2-one were explored using the three-dimensional structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR), scaffold hopping, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) prediction, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
