N2 - Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of premature adult death. Various factors contribute to the development of CVDs, such as atherosclerosis leading to myocardial infarction (MI), and compromised cardiac function after MI leads to chronic heart failure with systemic health complications and a high mortality rate. Microtubule detyrosination has rapidly evolved as an essential mechanism to regulate cardiomyocyte contractility. Microtubule affinity regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) regulates cardiomyocyte contractility in a way that it promotes phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein 4, thereby facilitating the access of vasohibin 2—a tubulin carboxypeptidase—to microtubules for the detyrosination of α-tubulin. Lisinopril, a drug belonging to the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, is used to treat high blood pressure. This is also used to treat heart failure, which plays a vital role in improving the survival rate post-heart attack. In this study, we will evaluate the MARK4 inhibitory potential of lisinopril employing molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approaches. Molecular docking analysis suggested that lisinopril binds to MARK4 with a significant binding affinity forming interactions with functionally essential residues of MARK4. Additionally, MD simulation deciphered the structural dynamics and stability of the MARK4–lisinopril complex. The findings of MD studies established that minimal structural deviations are observed during simulation, affirming the stability of the MARK4–lisinopril complex. Altogether, this study demonstrates lisinopril’s crucial role in the therapeutic management of CVD by targeting MARK4. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
