Background: Diarylquinolines like Bedaquiline have shown promising antitubercular activity by their action of Mycobacterial ATPase. Objective: The structural features necessary for good antitubercular activity for a series of quinoline derivatives were explored through computational chemistry tools like QSAR and combinatorial library generation. In the current study, 3-Chloro-4-(2-mercaptoquinoline-3-yl)-1-substitutedphenylazitidin-2-one derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on molecular modeling studies as anti-tubercular agents. Method: 2D and 3DQSAR analysis was used to designed compounds having quinoline scaffold. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against active and dormant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37 Ra and Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The compounds were also tested for cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A549 and Panc-1 cell lines using MTT assay. Binding affinity of designed compounds was gauged by molecular docking studies. Results: Statistically significant QSAR models generated by SA-MLR method for 2D QSAR exhibited r2 = 0.852, q2 = 0.811and whereas 3D QSAR with SA-kNN showed q2 = 0.77. The synthesized compounds exhibited MIC in the range of 1.38-14.59(µg/ml) .These compounds showed some crucial interaction with MTB Atpase. Conclusion: The present study has shown some promising results which can be further explored for lead generation.

Malarial parasites have been reported for moderate-high resistance towards classical antimalarial agents and henceforth development of newer novel chemical entities targeting multiple targets rather than targeting single target will be a highly promising strategy in antimalarial drug discovery. Herein, we carried out molecular modeling studies on 2,4-disubstituted imidazopyridines as anti-hemozoin formation inhibitors by using Schrödinger’s molecular modeling package (2020_4). We have developed statistically robust atom-based 3D-QSAR model (training set, [Formula: see text]; test set, [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]; root-mean-square error, [Formula: see text]; standard deviation, [Formula: see text]). Our molecular docking, in-silico ADMET analysis showed that dataset molecule 37, has highly promising results. Our ligand-based virtual screening resulted in top five ZINC hits, among them ZINC73737443 hit was observed with lesser energy gap, i.e. 7.85[Formula: see text]eV, higher softness value (0.127[Formula: see text]eV), and comparatively good docking score of [Formula: see text]10.2[Formula: see text]kcal/mol. Our in-silico analysis for a proposed hit, ZINC73737443 showed that this molecule has good ADMET, in-silico nonames toxic as well as noncarcinogenic profile. We believe that further experimental as well as the in-vitro investigation will throw more lights on the identification of ZINC73737443 as a potential antimalarial agent.

PI3Kα is one of the potential targets for novel anticancer drugs. In this study, a series of 2-difluoromethylbenzimidazole derivatives were studied based on the combination of molecular modeling techniques 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. The results showed that the best comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) model had q2 = 0.797 and r2 = 0.996 and the best comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) model had q2 = 0.567 and r2 = 0.960. It was indicated that these 3D-QSAR models have good verification and excellent prediction capabilities. The binding mode of the compound 29 and 4YKN was explored using molecular docking and a molecular dynamics simulation. Ultimately, five new PI3Kα inhibitors were designed and screened by these models. Then, two of them (86, 87) were selected to be synthesized and biologically evaluated, with a satisfying result (22.8 nM for 86 and 33.6 nM for 87).

Chagas disease is one of the most important neglected tropical diseases. Endemic in Latin America, the disease is a global public health problem, affecting several countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. The disease affects around 8-10 million people worldwide and the limited treatments available present low efficacy and severe side effects, highlighting the urgent need for new therapeutic options. In this work, the authors developed QSAR models for a series of fenarimol derivatives exhibiting anti-T. cruzi activity. The models were constructed using the Hologram QSAR (HQSAR), Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) methods. The QSAR models presented substantial predictive ability for a series of test set compounds (HQSAR, r2pred = 0.66; CoMFA, r2pred = 0.82; and CoMSIA, r2pred = 0.76), and were valuable to identify key structural features related to the observed trypanocidal activity. The results reported herein are useful for the design of novel derivatives having improved antichagasic properties.
