Research has shown that reducing the activity of DDR1 can help maintain intestinal barrier function in UC, making DDR1 a promising target for treatment. However, the development of DDR1 inhibitors as drugs has been hindered by issues such as toxicity and poor binding stability. As a result, there are currently no DDR1-targeting drugs available for clinical use, highlighting the need for new inhibitors. In a recent study, a dataset of 85 DDR1 inhibitors was analyzed to identify key characteristics for effective inhibition. A pharmacophore model was constructed and validated to screen a library of marine natural products for potential DDR1 inhibitors. Through high-throughput virtual screening and precise docking, 17 promising compounds were identified from a pool of over 52,000 molecules in the marine database. To improve binding affinity and reduce potential toxicity, scaffold hopping was employed to modify the 17 compounds, resulting in the generation of 1070 new compounds. These new compounds were further evaluated through docking and ADMET analysis, leading to the identification of three compounds\u201439713a, 34346a, and 34419a\u2014with superior predicted activity and drug-like properties compared to the original 17 compounds. Further analysis showed that the binding free energy values of the three candidate compounds were less than \u221212.200 kcal\/mol, which was similar to or better than \u221212.377 kcal\/mol of the known positive compound VU6015929, and the drug-like properties were better than those of the positive compounds. Molecular dynamics simulations were then conducted on these three candidate compounds, confirming their stable interactions with the target protein. In conclusion, compounds 39713a, 34346a, and 34419a show promise as potential DDR1 inhibitors for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26031099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]],"date-time":"2025-01-27T04:59:10Z","timestamp":1737953950000},"page":"1099","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Identification of DDR1 Inhibitors from Marine Compound Library Based on Pharmacophore Model and Scaffold Hopping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Honghui","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Clinical College, Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiahua","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Clinical College, Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3391-9713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lianxiang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Ocean and Tropical Medicine, Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang 524023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100851","DOI":"10.1016\/j.disamonth.2019.02.004","article-title":"A Comprehensive Review and Update on Ulcerative Colitis","volume":"65","author":"Gajendran","year":"2019","journal-title":"Disease-a-Month"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jmedchem.1c01205","article-title":"Discovery of Pyrazolo[3,4-d]Pyridazinone Derivatives as Selective DDR1 Inhibitors via Deep Learning Based Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation","volume":"65","author":"Tan","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
