Molecular docking studies of quinoline and 2-chloroquinoline substrates at the active site of toluene dioxygenase (TDO), were conducted using Autodock Vina, to identify novel edge-to-face interactions and to rationalize the observed stereoselective cis-dihydroxylation of carbocyclic rings and formation of isolable cis-dihydrodiol metabolites. These in silico docking results of quinoline and pyridine substrates, with TDO, also provided support for the postulated cis-dihydroxylation of electron-deficient pyridyl rings, to give transient cis-dihydrodiol intermediates and the derived hydroxyquinolines. 2-Chloroquinoline cis-dihydrodiol metabolites were used as precursors in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure arene oxide and arene dioxide derivatives of quinoline, in the context of its possible mammalian metabolism and carcinogenicity.

Aim: Identification of new anticancer glycosidic derivatives of podophyllotoxin. Methods: 14 podophyllotoxin D- and L-monosaccharides have been synthesized in three steps employing de novo glycosylation strategy, and their abilities to inhibit the growth of HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells were investigated by MTT assay. Molecular docking study of compound 5j with tubulin was performed. Immunofluorescence was applied for detecting the inhibitory effect of 5j on tubulin polymerization. Results & conclusion: Most of synthesized compounds showed strong cytotoxicity activity against five cancer cell lines. Compound 5j possessed the highest cytotoxicity with the IC50 values from 41.6 to 95.2 nM, and could concentration-dependently inhibit polymerization of the microtubule cytoskeleton of MCF-7 cells. Molecular docking disclosed that sugar moiety-dedicated hydrogen bond endowed 5j a higher binding affinity for tubulin.

Aim. Complex of yeast RNA and D-mannitol has a specific antiviral activity. This complex inhibits the neuraminidase and hemagglutinin activity of viruses such as influenza, parainfluenza and thus it blocks virus entry into the cell and his replication. So, nowadays, study of the interaction of this compound is an important task. Study interaction of the oligoribonucleotides and oligodesoxynucleotides with D mannitol molecule. Methods. Molecular modeling structure of oligoribonucleotides and oligodesoxynucleotides were done by using «Hyperchem» software package. The AutoDock program was used to perform accuracy molecular docking. Results. Were obtained binding energies of D-mannitol molecule with oligoribonucleotides and oligodesoxynucleotides. We have shown the possible connections between atoms of oligonucleotides and D-mannitol molecule. Conclusions. The modeling results should give more detailed information about nature of the oligonucleotides binding with a shugar alcohol D-mannitol.Keywords: molecular docking, oligonucleotides, D-mannitol, binding energies.
