Design and in vitro examination of ALKBHs inhibitors. (A) Results of in silico screening for the binding of anthraquinone derivatives by ALKBH proteins. Molecular docking indicated that FTO and EcAlkB are the best targets, followed by ALKBH2 and ALKBH3, albeit each of these proteins displayed specificity towards particular ligands. Other ALKBH proteins virtually did not bind any of the ligands tested. (B,C) The results of the thermal shift assay for ALKBH3 and FTO in the presence of tested anthraquinones. ΔH - enthalpy, Tm - protein melting temperature. (D) Inhibitory effect of anthraquinones on EcAlkB protein and its human homologs.
