| Abstract | Chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTh2) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. In this study, we report the binding site analysis of CRTh2 through molecular docking and quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies to explore the interaction of 2-(2-(benzylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) acetic acid derivatives. Various comparative models were generated using the available crystal structure of human delta opioid receptor (4N6H) as the template, and benzylthio acetic acid derivatives were docked into the predicted binding site region of human CRTh2 receptor. Surflex docking studies enabled us to identify that K5.43, Y4.60, N185, Y6.51, Q5.36, E6.58, T7.38 and H6.52 residues were the most crucial amino acids interacting with the ligand. In addition to docking, atom-by-atom matching and structure-based 3D-QSAR method CoMFA was performed. Based on better q 2 and r 2 pred values, the best predictions were obtained for the ligand-based (q 2 = 0.552, r 2 pred = 0.636) and for receptor-based (q 2 = 0.507, r 2 pred = 0.541) QSAR model, whose robustness and predictability were verified by external test set validation. The results correlate well with the previously reported mouse model, and our study serves as a guide for mutational studies of human CRTh2 and further experimental investigations on the synthesis of new CRTh2 antagonist. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
