Computational Studies of Human Sodium/glucose cotransporters: (SGLT1), (SGLT2) and investigation of Human Sirtuins together with Polydatin

Abstract

AbstractFor the first time, we investigated through molecular docking analysis with Autodock Vina and Autodock 4 the Polydatin, a derivative of resveratrol, with Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT1) and Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2(SGLT2) and with Sirtuins proteins, reporting excellent results both in terms of binding energies scores and inhibition constant Ki. In particular, from our analyses, Polydatin appears to have an excellent energetic affinity with human SGLT2 on the one hand, and with the human Sirtuin6, even though, comparing the binding energy values with all the investigated proteins, no significant differences were found in termins of binding energies scores. An important aspect that we want to underline is that our computational analyzes, although very accurate, require investigations in Vitro, in Vivo, and clinical studies to confirm that Polydatin has a key role with SGLT2, SGLT1, and with the Sirtuin family.
