The new ligand was confirmed as a dual agent by molecular docking study and molecular dynamic simulations.
Results were evaluated by molecular dynamic simulations on an Hsp90 pyrazole inhibitor and a p53 pyrazole activator that those activities had been confirmed through experimental research.
A virtual screening was performed on ZINC database and a set of new dual agents has been proposed.
These compounds show that substitution of pyrrole ring or any other group at position 3 of pyrazole ring is not necessary for the key interactions in two proteins.
Phenyl segment at position 4 or 5 of pyrazole ring is important for hydrophobic interactions in both of them.
