Background: Infections caused by drug resistant microorganisms have been increasing worldwide thereby being one of the major causes of morbidity in the 21st century. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one such bacteria causing lung inflammation, lung injury and death. Emergence of hyper-virulent and drug resistant species such as ESBL and CRKP has made this microbe a serious and urgent threat. The pace of emergence of these species is outgrowing the development of novel drug and vaccine candidates thereby focusing on drug repurposing approach. Objective: 1. Homology Modelling of Thymidylate Synthase. 2. Verification of Modelled Structure. 3. Molecular Docking. 4. Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Docked Complex. 5. In vitro analysis of 5-FU activity against Klebsiella pneumonia. Method: The 3-D structure of Thymidylate Synthase was predicted using Swiss-Model server and validated by in silico approaches. - Determination protein-protein interactions using STRING database. - Molecular docking. - MD simulations of 5-FU with predicted structure of thymidylate synthase. - In vitro antimicrobial drug sensitivity assay at different concentrations. Result: Hydrogen bond was observed in Molecular Docking - Protein-ligand complex remains stable during simulation. - 5-FU shows antimicrobial activity against Klebsiella pneumonia during In vitro study. Conclusion: Both In silico as well as in vitro analysis have indicated that 5-FU can potentially be developed as an antimicrobial agent towards Klebsiella pneumonia

Adenylate kinase 3 (AK3) is an enzyme located in the mitochondrial matrix involved in purine homeostasis. This protein has been considered a potential therapeutic target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), because the silencing of the AK3 gene has inhibited cell growth in CLL in vitro models. This study aimed to design potential AK3 inhibitors by applying molecular modeling techniques. Through the mapping of AK3 binding sites, essential interaction fields for pharmacophore design were identified. Online libraries were virtually screened by using a pharmacophore model, and 6891 compounds exhibited the functional groups for interaction with the target. These compounds underwent molecular docking simulations through Surflex and GOLD programs. After visual inspection, we selected 13 compounds for pharmacokinetic properties toxicology prediction via admetSAR and Protox web servers. Finally, six compounds were chosen for further analysis.
