Our recent work declared that NAF enantiomers showed the same antagonistic effects on the α1D-AR, but the binding mechanism of these two stereochemical NAF isomers to the α1D receptor remained unclear. Herein, we reported the crystallographic structures of optically pure NAF stereoisomers for the first time and unambiguously determined their absolute configurations. The crystal data of R and S enantiomers matched satisfactorily the pharmacophore model for α1D-selective antagonists. Based on the constructed α1D homology model,molecular docking studies shed light on the molecular mechanism of NAF enantiomers binding to α1D-AR. The results indicated that NAF enantiomers exhibited the very similar binding poses and occupied the same binding pocket.展开更多

Here, (+)-DDPH crystal structure was selected as the active conformation model and comparisons between the influences of different charge calculation methods and grid setup were conducted. The coefficients of cross-validation (q2) and regression (r2) are 0.481 and 0.997, respectively. The standard error (SE) is 0.102. The research result suggests that the steric field makes more contributions to the activity than the electrostatic field. This model can help us not only in improving our understanding of the receptor-ligand interactions, but also in predicting the activity of derivatives and designing new compounds with better potency.展开更多
