ABSTRACT: Flavonoids are a class of Polyphenolic compounds found abundantly in plants. This study employs computational methods to predict the binding affinities and interaction patterns of selected flavonoids with the adenosine A2A receptor, Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B enzyme), and Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT enzymes). The docking simulations were performed using software packages such as iGEMDOCK which utilizes molecular mechanics algorithms to simulate the docking process. Visualization of the docking results was conducted using molecular visualization tools such as Drug Discovery studio (BIOVIA), enabling the analysis of binding modes and interactions between flavonoids and their respective protein targets. This visualization aids in identifying key amino acid residues involved in ligand binding, as well as understanding the structural basis of Ligand-receptor interactions. The findings highlight specific flavonoids that exhibit favourable binding affinities and interactions with the targeted neurochemical receptors and enzymes. Such insights are crucial for guiding further experimental validation and optimization of flavonoid-based compounds as potential therapeutic agents for neurological disorders.

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It is characterized by symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems. These symptoms result from the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, particularly in a region called the Substantia nigra.
Flavonoids 1-2 are a group of plant compounds known for their antioxidant 3-4 and anti-inflammatory properties 5-6. They are commonly found in fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine, and cocoa. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential neuroprotective effects of flavonoids, including their role in potentially slowing down the progression of Parkinson's disease 7-8.
Research suggests that flavonoids may exert their neuroprotective effects through various mechanisms, such as reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and protecting neuronal function. Some specific flavonoids, such as Quercetin, Epicatechin, and Rutin, have shown promising results in preclinical studies related to Parkinson's disease. However, it's important to note that while these findings are encouraging, much of the research is still in the early stages, and clinical trials are needed to confirm the effectiveness of flavonoids as a treatment for Parkinson's disease in humans.
Targets in Parkinson’s disease:
Adenosine A2A Receptors 9-10: Adenosine A2A receptors are a subtype of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) present on cell surfaces throughout the body, notably in the brain and peripheral nervous system. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes by binding with adenosine, a nucleoside pivotal in energy transfer and neurotransmission. Specifically, adenosine A2A receptors are known for modulating neurotransmitter release, especially dopamine, and influencing neuronal activity within the central nervous system. They are also involved in regulating cardiovascular function and immune responses. In the brain, adenosine A2A receptors are highly expressed in striato pallidal neurons and can form functional complexes with other GPCRs like dopamine D2, metabotropic glutamate mGlu5, and adenosine A1 receptors. Blocking these receptors in striato pallidal neurons reduces the adverse effects of dopamine depletion, thereby alleviating motor impairments associated with Parkinson's disease. Beyond symptom relief, A2A receptor antagonists have shown potential in slowing the progression of Parkinson's by mitigating neurodegeneration and countering the maladaptive neuroplasticity that limits the effectiveness of conventional dopamine replacement therapies.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) 11-12: Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) is a crucial enzyme in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slow movement. In Parkinson's, dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which regulate movement and coordination, gradually degenerate. COMT plays a role in the breakdown of dopamine and other catecholamine’s like epinephrine and nor epinephrine. Its activity is vital for regulating dopamine levels in key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and striatum, essential for motor function and cognition. The COMT enzyme is structurally characterized by a single domain containing α and β components, organized around a central β sheet with eight helices. Its active site, similar to a Rossmann fold, binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) and is typical of enzymes interacting with nucleotides. The COMT gene, located on chromosome 22q11, encodes this enzyme crucial for catecholamine degradation, a process impaired in Parkinson's patients. Notably, a polymorphism at codon 158 (Val158Met, designated rs4680) has been identified to reduce COMT enzyme activity, influencing executive cognitive functions. Additionally, this gene locus has implications in schizophrenia, highlighting its broader neurobiological significance.

Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) 13-14: Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) is a crucial enzyme involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters like dopamine within the brain. Located on the outer membrane of mitochondria in neurons and glial cells, MAO-B catalyzes the oxidative deamination of dopamine, converting it into metabolites such as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), which are further broken down by other enzymes. This enzymatic activity plays a pivotal role in regulating levels of dopamine and other monoamines, essential for maintaining neurotransmitter balance and overall brain function. Beyond its fundamental role in neurotransmitter metabolism, MAO-B has garnered significant attention in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease. Studies indicate that MAO-B activity is elevated in the brains of individuals with Parkinson's disease, accelerating dopamine breakdown and exacerbating the dopaminergic deficiency characteristic of the disease. Consequently, MAO-B inhibitors such as selegiline and rasagiline have been developed as therapies for Parkinson's disease. These inhibitors work by blocking MAO-B activity, thereby reducing dopamine breakdown and potentially slowing the progression of motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. MAO-B's implications extend beyond Parkinson's disease to encompass other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Its involvement in the metabolism of neurotransmitters like serotonin and nor epinephrine suggests roles in mood regulation and cognitive function. Moreover, MAO-B inhibitors have been explored in contexts beyond neurodegeneration, including depression and Alzheimer's disease, underscoring the enzyme's broader impact on brain health and its potential as a therapeutic target in various disorders.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: To initiate molecular docking studies of flavonoids with the Adenosine A2A receptor, MAO-B enzyme, and COMT enzyme, several preparatory steps are essential. Firstly, the chemical structures of flavonoids are drawn using ChemSketch and saved in formats like mol. These structures are then imported into Avogadro 15-16 for potential optimization through geometry optimization processes. Meanwhile, for the protein structures of adenosine A2A receptor, MAO-B, and COMT, 3D models are obtained from databases such as the Protein Data Bank. Subsequently, Drug Discovery Studio (DDS) 16-17 is employed to pre-process these protein structures, which includes tasks like the removal of water molecules, addition of hydrogen atoms, and assignment of partial charges to ensure the proteins are suitably prepared for docking studies. The actual docking process is facilitated using iGemDock 18-19 where the prepared ligand and protein structures are imported. Docking parameters such as grid size, scoring functions (e.g., binding affinity scoring), and search algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms) are defined to conduct the docking simulations. These simulations enable the prediction of potential binding modes of flavonoids within the binding sites of the adenosine A2A receptor, MAO-B enzyme, and COMT enzyme. Upon completion of docking simulations, the results are analyzed to interpret the binding poses of flavonoids within each protein's binding site. Docking scores are evaluated to prioritize the most promising flavonoid-protein complexes based on predicted binding affinities. Visual inspection of interactions, facilitated by tools such as iGemDock software and Drug discovery studio, allows for the examination of molecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The interpretation of results encompasses assessing the significance of docking scores, understanding binding poses, and identifying specific types of interactions observed, such as pi-pi stacking and hydrogen bonding. These steps collectively contribute to elucidating the potential interactions between flavonoids and the studied proteins, offering insights into their therapeutic potential in the context of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Target Adenosine A2A: Based on molecular docking studies targeting the Adenosine A2A receptor, Rutin 20-21 and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate 22-23 emerge as highly promising ligands with notable binding affinities of -128.29 kcal/mol and -106.34 kcal/mol, respectively.
Rutin demonstrates the strongest interaction, and forms seven conventional hydrogen bonds with Adenosine A2Areceptor ASN: 253, MET: 270, GLU: 169, ALA: 81, ILE: 80, ALA: 59, GLU: 13 indicating it are potential as a robust candidate for therapeutic development targeting this receptor. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate also exhibits substantial binding affinity and forms one conventional hydrogen bond with adenosine A2A receptor GLU: 169 suggesting it could be explored further as a viable compound for drug development. Standard Adenosine A2A receptor antagonist Istradefylline 24-25 and caffeine 26-27 will not forms conventional hydrogen bonds. Both natural compounds outperform the standard ligands Istradefylline (-85.83 kcal/mol) and caffeine (-57.96 kcal/mol), underscoring their potential advantages in terms of receptor binding strength. The co-crystallized ligand, with a binding affinity of -92.46 kcal/mol, serves as a reference point, confirming that Rutin and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate surpass this benchmark. These findings highlight Rutin and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate as promising leads warranting further experimental validation, including in-vitro and in-vivo studies, to substantiate their potential therapeutic efficacy targeting the adenosine A2A receptor.
Target COMT Enzyme: In the molecular docking study targeting the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) enzyme, Rutin and Morin emerged as top ligands with promising binding affinities of -101.49 kcal/mol and -96.61 kcal/mol, respectively. These natural compounds demonstrate strong interactions with the COMT enzyme, suggesting their potential as effective inhibitors or modulators of COMT activity. Comparatively, the standard COMT inhibitors Entacapone (-84.54 kcal/mol) and Tolcapone (-93.96 kcal/mol) showed lower binding affinities than Rutin and Morin, indicating that these natural flavonoids may offer competitive advantages in terms of binding strength. The co-crystalized ligand, with a binding affinity of -100.71 kcal/mol, provides a reference point confirming the favorable binding energies of Rutin and Morin. Rutin forms four conventional hydrogen bonds with COMT enzyme GLU: 199, ASN: 170, LYS: 144, LYS: 5 and Morin forms Four conventional hydrogen bonds ASN:170, GLU: 199, LYS: 144, HIS: 142. And standard COMT inhibitors 28-29 Entacapone forms two conventional hydrogen bonds GLU: 199, MET:40 and Tolcapone forms three hydrogen bonds HIS:142, ASP:141, ASN: 170. These results underscore Rutin and Morin as promising candidates for further investigation in drug development targeting COMT, potentially offering novel therapeutic approaches for disorders influenced by COMT enzyme activity. Future studies including biochemical assays and in-vivo experiments are essential to validate and expand upon these computational findings.
Target MAO-B Enzyme: In the molecular docking study aimed at targeting the monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) enzyme, Luteolin and Glycitein emerged as top ligands with remarkably high binding affinities of -131.30 kcal/mol and -129.07 kcal/mol, respectively. These findings highlight Luteolin and Glycitein as potent inhibitors of MAO-B activity, potentially offering robust therapeutic potential in conditions where MAO-B inhibition is beneficial. Leuteolin forms two conventional hydrogen bonds with MAO-B enzyme TYR: 326, ILE: 199 and Glycitein were not form hydrogen bond. Compared to the standard MAO-B inhibitors 30-31 rasagiline -73.78 kcal/moland selegiline -68.49 kcal/mol, Luteolin and Glycitein exhibit significantly stronger binding interactions, suggesting they may provide enhanced efficacy in enzyme modulation. The co-crystalized ligand, with a binding affinity of -79.69 kcal/mol, serves as a benchmark confirming the superior binding energies of Luteolin and Glycitein. These results underscore the potential of Luteolin and Glycitein as lead compounds for further exploration in drug development targeting MAO-B enzyme, warranting subsequent experimental validation through biochemical assays and preclinical studies to substantiate their therapeutic promise.
CONCLUSION: The present study on molecular docking reveal that Rutin, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, Morin, Luteolin, and Glycitein are promising natural compounds with high binding affinities for their respective targets. Rutin and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate outperform standard antagonists at the Adenosine A2A receptor, while Rutin and Morin show superior binding to the COMT enzyme compared to traditional inhibitors. Luteolin and Glycitein exhibit strong interactions with MAO-B, surpassing standard inhibitors in binding affinity. These findings highlight the potential of these natural compounds as leads for drug development, warranting further experimental validation to confirm their therapeutic efficacy.
