Stereoselective binding of indomethacin ethanolamide derivatives to cyclooxygenase-1.
We have used molecular modeling studies and molecular dynamics simulations to generate three-dimensional models for cyclooxygenase-1 complexes with a series of indomethacin ethanolamide derivatives. These studies provide a plausible explanation for the stereoselective ligand binding preferences observed experimentally for these inhibitors and predict the general binding mode as well as specific structural details for the ligand-enzyme complexes. These studies provide insight into the nature of cyclooxygenase-1 interactions with a series of novel inhibitors and should help increase our understanding of key structural determinants for cyclooxygenase isozyme-selective inhibitor binding.
