Abstract Background The o-phenylenediamine is a versatile starting material for several compounds. Synthesized o-phenylenediamine and amino acids (glycine, alanine, aspartic acid, and l-proline) undergo condensation via Phillips reaction. The synthesized compound showed the promising antibacterial activity of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the concentration of 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, 1.6, 0.8, 0.4, and 0.2 μg/ml. Ciprofloxacin was used as standard drug. Synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives was carried out and purified by recrystallization process using ethanol. Substituted derivatives were characterized by melting point, TLC and spectroscopic methods include FT-IR and 1H-NMR. Results In silico studies were adopted for synthetic derivatives by Molinspiration, ChemDraw, and online software tool. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa were reported, and benzimidazole ligands and Molinspiration scores were generated and listed. Conclusion The more negative values indicate a higher binding affinity. The generated ligand observations can be visualized. Physical constants of synthesized derivates such as solubility and melting point were determined. Bioactivity scores were noted for different derivatives and predicted percentage absorption in the gut. The antibacterial activity was performed using the MIC method (aerobic).

Background: Coumarin is a fused ring system and possesses enormous capability of targeting various receptors participating in cancer pathway. Coumarin and its derivatives were found to exhibit very rare toxicity and other side effects. It has been found its immense anticancer potential depends on the nature of group present and its pattern of substitution on the basic nucleus. Objectives: Synthesis of C-4 substituted coumarin derivatives and to study their molecular interactions with ERα for anticancer activity for Breast Cancer. Method: C-4 substituted coumarins analogues (1-10) have been synthesized using conventional heating and microwave irradiation. Using Schrodinger software molecular modeling studies were carried out and ADME properties of the compounds were predicted. Results: All the synthesized compounds have shown better G-Score (-6.87 to -8.43 kcal/mol) as compared to the standard drug tamoxifen (-5.28kcal/mol) and auraptene (-3.89kcal/mol). Molecular docking suggests that all compounds fit in the active site of protein as they have the same hydrophobic pocket as standard drug tamoxifen, and have an acceptable range of ADME properties. Conclusion: Microwave-assisted synthesis showed better results as compared to conventional heating. In-silico studies revealed that all the compounds befit in the active site of protein. ADME properties showed that all compounds are in allowable limits for human oral absorption. In future, there is a possibility of in-vitro and in-vivo studies of the synthesized compounds.

AbstractInhibition of aromatase enzymes is very important in the prevention of estrogen-related diseases and the regulation of estrogen levels. Aromatase enzyme is involved in the final stage of the biosynthesis of estrogen, in the conversion of androgens to estrogen. The development of new compounds for the inhibition of aromatase enzymes is an important area for medicinal chemists in this respect. In the present study, new benzimidazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized which have reported anticancer activity in the literature. Their anticancer activity was evaluated against human A549 and MCF-7 cell lines by MTT assay. In the series, concerning MCF-7 cell line, the most potent compounds were the 4-benzylpiperidine derivatives 2c, 2g, and 2k with IC50 values of 0.032 ± 0.001, 0.024 ± 0.001, and 0.035 ± 0.001 µM, respectively, compared to the reference drug cisplatin (IC50 = 0.021 ± 0.001 µM). Then, these compounds were subject to further in silico aromatase enzyme inhibition assays to determine the possible binding modes and interactions underlying their activity. Thanks to molecular docking studies, the effectiveness of these compounds against aromatase enzyme could be simulated. Consequently, it has been found that these compounds can be settled very properly to the active site of the aromatase enzyme.

Thrombomodulin (TM) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) are the major factors that are responsible for lung cancer. Hence, the identification of novel compounds inhibiting TM and MMPs is the challenging task for the scientists. Even though synthetic drugs were developed, their toxicity and offtarget limit their usage. The current study aims to investigate the molecular simulations for bacterial derived stearic acid to estimate the in silico anticancer activity against TM and MMPs protein as target compounds and the findings were correlated with the standard drug vorinostat. Using Lamarckian genetic algorithm, the TM and MMPs were energy minimized and docked with stearic acid and vorinostat using auto dock 4.2 and visualized in PyMol software. Protein and ligand binding analysis revealed that stearic acid interacts with the amino acids of MMPs residues of PHE83, SER212, ALA213 and ASN214. It interacts with the TMs with two amino acid residues i.e. CYS407 and GLU408. Hence, compared to vorinostat, stearic acid shows a higher binding affinity towards MMPs and slightly lower affinity towards TM proteinase. We conclude that the computational analysis of ligand binding interaction of stearic acid suggests that it could be a potential inhibitor of matrix metallo proteinase and is effective against thrombomodulin and can be considered as an anticancer agent by in vivo studies.

This work was to find out the dominant secondary metabolites derived from the fungus Trichoderma and to test them against skin cancer protein. The metabolites were extracted in 80% methanol from the fungal biomass of Trichoderma isolated from mangrove sediment. The crude methanol extract was purified and analysed for the secondary metabolites by GC-MS. Three predominant compounds (heptadecanoic acid, 16 methyl-, methyl ester; 9,12-octadecadienoic acid; cis-9-octadecenoic acid) identified in the extracts were screened against the skin cancer protein (Hsp90) by in-silico docking method. Of the compounds, heptadecanoic acid, 16 methyl, methyl ester was the most potent having the docking score of  Kcal/mol. This value was better than the standard drug “dyclonine”. This work recommends the heptadecanoic acid, 16 methyl, methyl ester for further in vitro and in vivo studies towards its development as anticancer drug.
