Structure-Based Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation of VEGF inhibitors for the clinical treatment of Ovarian Cancer.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor play an important role both in physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis, which is identified in ovarian cancer progression and metastasis development. The aim of the present investigation is to identify a potential vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor which is playing a crucial role in stimulating the immunosuppressive microenvironment in tumor cells of the ovary and to examine the effectiveness of the identified inhibitor for the treatment of ovarian cancer using various in silico approaches. Twelve established VEGF inhibitors were collected from various literatures.
