Identification of a potential structure-based GPCR drug for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome: in silico protein structure analysis and molecular docking.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisThere is currently no effective treatment for interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and thus seriously reduces the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structure and function of G protein coupled receptors related to IC/BPS by integrating bioinformatics and provide basis for the development of new drugs for IC/BPS.
methodsWe used ProtParam and DNAMAN to analyze the physical and chemical properties of GPR18 and GPR183 proteins. The secondary and tertiary structure, conservative domain, phosphorylation site of both proteins were predicted by ProtScale, PredictProtein, SWISS-MODEL and GPS5.0 respectively. Multiple sequence alignment of the proteins were carried out by DNAMAN and the phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA. Further, the molecular docking verification of cannabidiol and both proteins were carried out by using AutoDock Vin.
resultsGPR18 and GPR183 proteins were composed of 331 and 361 amino acids respectively. α-helix is the highest in the secondary structure of the two proteins. Both proteins contain seven transmembrane domains specific to G protein coupled receptors. And homology analysis showed that the two proteins had high homology. In terms of molecular docking, cannabidiol, a non psychoactive component extracted from the cannabis, can form effective molecular binding with GPR18 and GPR183 proteins.
conclusionsWe identified the structures of GPR18 and GPR183 proteins and their highly homologous evolutionary properties. Furthermore, both proteins can form effective binding with cannabidiol which provides new insights for the development of IC/BPS drugs by targeting G protein coupled receptors.
