This study explores possibility of using the 5-HT3R antagonists for the treatment of nicotine abuse by understanding it at the molecular level. However, the structure of human 5-HT3R is not yet fully understood, therefore this study first aimed to construct an in silico functional model of 5-HT3R to have a deeper understanding on the receptor binding and activation/inhibition with ligands such as nicotine and 5-HT3R antagonists like palonosetron and the natural bioactive compound gingerol. Methods Homology model of human 5-HT3A receptor was constructed using Swiss Model approach. The model was submitted for scoring by Ramachandran Plot, Verify3D, ERRAT and ProSA. Following preorientation with respect to the lipid bilayer, serotonin docking and addition of charges, lipid bilayer, water molecules and ions forming a system, it was sent for molecular dynamic (MD) simulation using Gromacs 2016. For docking studies, nicotine, palonosetron and 6-gingerol were docked individually into the orthosteric binding site using AutoDock Vina. Results Scores of the model were 86.2% (Ramachandran Plot), 45.39% (Verify3D), 93.38 (ERRAT) and -5.51 (ProSA), indicating that the model was good for MD simulation. Docking studies showed that cation-π interaction between nicotine and tryptophan group, multiple aromatic and hydrophobic interactions at tricyclic ring of palonosetron, and interactions of 6-gingerol with R87 and N123 residues were respectively observed similar to other conducted studies. Conclusion Construction of an in silico functional model of 5-HT3R is useful in order to understand the interactions between the receptor and various ligands. The model allows elucidation of nicotine action on 5-HT3R as an antagonist, which can possibly be competed with other 5-HT3R antagonists such as palonosetron and gingerol. This positioned the 5-HT3R as a good potential target for smoking cessation strategies either as an alternative or adjunct treatment.
