Abstract

Lung cancer is a pervasive and challenging disease with limited treatment options, with global health challenges often present with complex molecular profiles necessitating the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies. Single-target drugs have shown limited success due to the heterogeneity of this disease. Multitargeted drug designing is imperative to combat this complexity by simultaneously targeting multiple target proteins and pathways, which can enhance treatment efficacy and overcome resistance by addressing the dynamic nature of the disease and stopping tumour growth and spread. In this study, we performed the molecular docking studies of Drug Bank compounds with a multitargeted approach against crucial proteins of lung cancer such as heat shock protein 5 (BIP/GRP78) ATPase, myosin 9B RhoGAP, EYA2 phosphatase inhibitor, RSK4 N-terminal kinase, and collapsin response mediator protein-1 (CRMP-1) using HTVS, SP with XP algorithms, and poses were filtered using MM\GBSA which identified [3-(1-Benzyl-3-Carbamoylmethyl-2-Methyl-1h-Indol-5-Yloxy)-Propyl-]-Phosphonic Acid (3-1-BenCarMethIn YlPro-Phosphonic Acid) (DB02504) as multitargeted drug candidate with docking and MM\GBSA score ranges from -5.83 to -10.66 and -7.56 to -50.14 Kcal/mol, respectively. Further, the pharmacokinetic and QM-based DFT studies have shown complete acceptance results, and interaction fingerprinting reveals that ILE, GLY, VAL, TYR, LEU, and GLN were among the most interacting residues. The 100 ns MD simulation in the SPC water model with NPT ensemble showed stable performance with deviation and fluctuations <2 Å with huge interactions, making it a promising multitargeted drug candidate; however, experimental studies are needed before use.
