According to the results of the initial validation of these twenty models, the model 0020 was finally chosen as the best one for further studies. Then, a 2 ns molecular dynamic （MD） simulation for model 0020 was conducted in normal saline （0.9%, w/F） under periodical boundary conditions, which was followed by docking studies of model 0020 with several existing AT1 receptor blockers （ARBs）. The docking results reveal that model 0020 possesses good affinities with these docked ARBs which are in accordance with both the IC50 inhibitor values and their curative effects. The results also show more potent interactions between the model 0020 and its ARBs than those of ever reported results, such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and especially cation-n interactions and π-π interactions which have never been reported before. This may reveal that the structure of the model 0020 is quite close to its real crystal structure and the model 0020 may have the potential to be used for structure based drug design：展开更多
