Answer:

Actin accounts for the fact that in the protein content of a cell it always represents a high percentage and its sequence is very conserved, that is, it has changed very little throughout evolution.2 3 For both reasons it can be said That its structure has been optimized. Two peculiar characteristics can be highlighted on this: it is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP, the "universal currency of energy" of biological processes, doing so very slowly. But at the same time it needs that molecule to maintain its structural integrity. It acquires its effective form in an almost dedicated folding process. It is also the one that establishes more interactions with other proteins of how many are found, which allows it to perform the most varied functions that reach almost all aspects of cell life. Myosin is an example of a protein that binds actin. Another example is viline, which can interweave actin into bundles or cut actin filaments, affect the concentration of calcium cation in its environment.4

Forming microfilaments in a dynamic process provides a scaffolding that gives the cell a way to quickly remodel in response to its environment or body signals, for example, improves the cell surface for absorption or adhesion supports cells to form tissues. Other enzymes, organelles such as cilia, can be anchored on this scaffold, directing the deformation of the external cell membrane that allows cell ingestion or cytokinesis. It can also produce movement, either by itself or by molecular motors. Thus contributing to processes such as intracellular transport of vesicles and organelles and muscle contraction, or cell migration, important in embryonic development, wound repair or cancer invasiveness. The evolutionary origin of this protein can be traced in prokaryotic cells, where equivalents exist. Finally it is important in the control of gene expression.

A good number of diseases are based on genetic alterations in alleles of the genes that govern the production of actin or its associated proteins, being also essential in the process of infection of some pathogenic microorganisms. Mutations in the different actin genes present in humans cause myopathies, variations in cardiac size and function and deafness. The components of the cytoskeleton are also related to the pathogenicity of intracellular bacteria and viruses, especially in processes related to the evasion of the immune system response

Based on the definitions of pharmacophore and privileged structure, outline essential structural features a 1,4-dihyrdopyridine
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pharmacophore (pharmacology) - The molecular framework responsible for a drug's biological activity. According to IUPAC — A pharmacophore is the ensemble of steric and electronic features that is necessary to ensure the optimal supramolecular interactions with a specific biological target structure and to trigger (or to block) its biological response.

Privileged structures are defined as molecular frameworks which are able of providing useful ligands for more than one type of receptor or enzyme target by judicious structural modifications.

1) The 1,4-dihydropyridine ring is present in many biologically important molecules that acts as an important scaffold for cardiovascular drug - a calcium antagonists and although it is technically not considered as a pharmacophore, it is considered as a privileged structure.

1,4-Dihydropyridine (DHP), belongs to the class of calcium antagonist that inhibits the influx of extracellular Ca+2 through the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels.

A positional substitution in the 4-position is feasible in the heterocyclic ring which in turn culminates in various calcium channel antagonist activities and this heterocyclic ring is the common feature for various pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity,

antihypertensive, antianginal, antitumor, antitubercular activity and antithrombotic .

Position on the heterocyclic ring binds to the L-type channel and also to N-type channel on membranes.

2.) The bioisosteres are not a suitable bioisostere for the traditional C-4 aryl or heteroaryl substitution which is necessary for calcium ion blockage thereby inhibiting it to function with the mechanism shared above.
