Intestinal transport of TRH analogs through PepT1: the role of in silico and in vitro modeling

The present study involves molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies, and Caco‐2 cell monolayer permeability assay to investigate the effect of structural modifications on PepT1‐mediated transport of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) analogs. Molecular docking of four TRH analo...

Description
Summary:The present study involves molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies, and Caco‐2 cell monolayer permeability assay to investigate the effect of structural modifications on PepT1‐mediated transport of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) analogs. Molecular docking of four TRH analogs was performed using a homology model of human PepT1 followed by subsequent MD simulation studies. Caco‐2 cell monolayer permeability studies of four TRH analogs were performed at apical to basolateral and basolateral to apical directions. Inhibition experiments were carried out using Gly‐Sar, a typical PepT1 substrate, to confirm the PepT1‐mediated transport mechanism of TRH analogs. Papp of the four analogs follows the order: NP‐1894
