Conclusion In the present investigation, we have addressed the crizotinib resistance in NSCLC with the help of virtual screening approach. CID 11562217 was discovered to be more drug like as it productively passed through the parameters of pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Docking study demonstrated that CID 11562217 has the highest binding affinity not only with native type ALK but also with the mutant type ALK system among the lead compounds screened from the Pubchem database. RMSD data obtained from molecular dynamic simulation revealed structural stability of the ALK-CID11562217 complex structure. It is worth stressing that our results correlate well with available experimental evidences. Of note, the available data suggests that pyrazole-substituted aminoheteroaryl compounds have potential anti-tumor effects. We hope that the findings reported here might give helpful signs to design powerful drugs against drug resistant lung cancer types.
