Abstract
Boron tracedrugs possess global molecular tracking abilities and localized destructive power. We investigated the molecular properties of synthesized boron tracedrugs, including UTX-51, and their interactions with the advanced glycation end-product (AGE)-related protein bovine serum albumin (BSA). A conformational analysis of the compounds used in the present study was performed using CAChe (Fujitsu Inc., Tokyo, Japan) and the degree of stereo-hydrophobicity of the conformers obtained was verified using Mopac (Fujitsu Inc.). The interactive properties of global minimum conformers of the derivatives tested with BSA were assessed using Molegro Virtual Docker (CLC bio., Aarhus, Denmark). Among the compounds investigated, UTX-51 was confirmed to interact with BSA based on the formation of hydrogen bonds between BSA and UTX-51. UTX-51 is a promising boron tracedrug and can be used as the lead structure for developing a therapeutic agent for AGE-related diseases, including cancer.
