25. Other Experimental Evidence to Show Nelfinavir inhibition on EGFR, IGF1R, CDK2 and Abl is Supportive The inhibitions of Nelfinavir on IGF1R, EGFR, Akt activity were detected by immunoblotting. The inhibition of Nelfinavir on Akt activity is less than a known PI3K inhibitor Joell J. Gills et al. Clinic Cancer Research September 2007 13; 5183 Nelfinavir inhibits growth of human melanoma cells by induction of cell cycle arrest Nelfinavir induces G1 arrest through inhibition of CDK2 activity. Such inhibition is not caused by inhibition of Akt signaling. Jiang W el al.

Tuberculosis, which is caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis , is a leading cause of mortality among the infectious diseases. It has been estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) that almost one-third of the world's population , around 2 billion people, is infected with the disease. Every year, more than 8 million people develop an active form of the disease, which claims the lives of nearly 2 million. This translates to over 4,900 deaths per day , and more than 95% of these are in developing countries. Despite the current global situation, antitubercular drugs have remained largely unchanged over the last four decades. The widespread use of these agents has provided a strong selective pressure for M.tuberculosis, thus encouraging the emergence of resistant strains. Multidrug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is defined as resistance to the first-line drugs isoniazid and rifampin . The effective treatment of MDR tuberculosis necessitates long-term use of second-line drug combinations , an unfortunate consequence of which is the emergence of further drug resistance. Enter extensively drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis - M.tuberculosis strains that are resistant to both isoniazid plus rifampin, as well as key second-line drugs . Since the only remaining drug classes exhibit such low potency and high toxicity , XDR tuberculosis is extremely difficult to treat. The rise of XDR tuberculosis around the world imposes a great threat on human health , therefore reinforcing the development of new antitubercular agents as an urgent priority. Very few Mtb proteins explored as drug targets
3,996 proteins in TB proteome 749 solved structures in the PDB, representing a total of 284 proteins (7.2% coverage) ModBase contains homology models for entire TB proteome 1,446 ‘high quality’ homology models were added to the data set Structural coverage increased to 43.8% Retained only those models with a model score of > 0.7 and a Modpipe quality score of > 1.1 (2818 models). There were multiple models per protein. For each TB protein, chose the model with the best model score, and if they were equal, chose the model with the best Modpipe quality score (1703 models). However, 251 (+6) models were removed since they correspond to TB proteins that already have solved structures. 1446 models remained) Score for the reliability of a Model, derived from statistical potentials (F. Melo, R. Sanchez, A. Sali,2001 PDF ). A model is predicted to be good when the model score is higher than a pre-specified cutoff (0.7). A reliable model has a probability of the correct fold that is larger than 95%. A fold is correct when at least 30% of its Calpha atoms superpose within 3.5A of their correct positions. The ModPipe Protein Quality Score is a composite score comprising sequence identity to the template, coverage , and the three individual scores evalue , z-Dope and GA341 . We consider a MPQS of >1.1 as reliable

Multi-target therapy may be more effective than single-target therapy to treat infectious diseases Most of the proteins listed are potential novel drug targets for the development of efficient anti-tuberculosis chemotherapeutics.
