Two conformational polymorphs of novel 2-[2-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-ethoxy]-4,6-dimethyl nicotinonitrile have been developed. The crystal structure of both polymorphs (1aand1b) seems to be stabilized by weak interactions. A difference was observed in the packing of both polymorphs. Polymorph1bhas a better binding affinity with the cyclooxygenase (COX-2) receptor than the standard (Nimesulide).

This study aimed to determine the activity of PYT and its derivatives against COX-2, including 5IKR protein induced inflammation by using the computational tools. PYT and its derivatives have been designed by utilizing density functional theory (DFT) and the performance of the drugs was also evaluated by molecular docking study. Results suggest that the NH2 derivative of PYT (D-NH2) showed binding energy -6.4 (Kcal/mol) with protein 5IKR of COX-2 compared to the main drug (D) that showed binding energy -5.1 (Kcal/mol) with the same protein. HOMO and LUMO energy values were also calculated to determine the chemical reactivity of all the modified drugs. Non-covalent interactions of PYT and its derivatives were essential in improving the performance. In conclusion, D-NH2 showed better preference in inhibiting to the protein 5IKR of COX-2 compared to other modified drugs and it can be claimed that D-NH2 will be the best conformer for COX-2 induced inflammation.

Background: Diabetes is a leading cause of high mortality rate in the world. Recently, SGLT2 inhibitors showed the promising result to treat diabetes and therefore several molecules are approved by the US FDA. Objective: SGLT2 inhibitors were designed based on dioxabicyclo[3.2.1] octane with the aim to search new lead molecule. Methods: The molecular structures were drawn in ChemBiodraw ultra and molecular docking study was performed by AutoDock Vina 1.5.6 software. The LogP and toxicity were predicted online using AlogP and Lazar in-silico respectively. Results: Among all the designed molecules, SK306 showed the maximum binding affinity against the 3dh4 SGLT2 protein of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. LogP values were also calculated in order to determine the lipophilic property of the best binding molecules which show LogP 2.82-3.79 in the range for good absorption and elimination, also predicted to be non-toxic. Conclusion: SGLT2 inhibitors were designed based on the dioxabicyclo [3.2.1] octane resulting in a new lead molecule with high binding affinity; also these molecules were predicted to be noncarcinogenic with low LogP.

<p class="Default"><strong>Objective: </strong>To identify the novel and simple bioactive antiandrogens, that can overcome to side effects as well as drug resistance.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Methods: </strong>The AutoDock Vina (ADT) 1.5.6 software is used for molecular docking purposes. The molecular structures were drawn in ChemBiodraw ultra and by the help of ChemBiodraw 3D, all structures were energy minimized by MM2 method and converted to pdb extension file which is readable at the ADT interface.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Results: </strong>Total ten compounds from both series were shown better binding affinity than <em>R</em>-bicalutamide including oxadiazole and triazole series. Among these pk42 and pk46 were studied in-depth which showed best binding affinity to the androgen receptor. The <em>cis</em>-isomers were found better than their <em>trans</em>-isomer.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Novel 5-styryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole/triazole derivatives were studied through molecular modeling using Autodock Vina. The potent compounds which showed better binding affinity than <em>R</em>-bicalutamide like pk24 and 46 were further analyzed for their interactions. The conformational effect also found significant in binding to the androgen receptor.</p>
