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).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the LOX inhibitory activity, and predict the drug likeness properties of designed diacyl derivatives of phloroglucinol, using in silico method. Methods: The designed derivatives were subjected to molecular docking using AUTODOCK while the receptor used in this study was built from SWISS MODEL. Drug likeness properties of the derivatives were calculated by online programs i.e. MOLINSPIRATION and PreADMET. Results: Molecular docking study revealed that designed tHGA derivative with four-carbon chain length exhibited the best binding affinity with the docking scores of -7.26kcal/mol. Three types of binding interactions were observed between the derivatives and the receptor site i.e H-bonding, hydrophobic and Van der Waals interactions. The important amino acid residues involved in H-bonding were Gln495 and Gln697, while other amino acid residues, such as Leu754 and Ile 553, were involved in the Van der Waals interaction. The designed tHGA derivatives were mainly stabilized through hydrophobic interactions with His499, His504, Ile538, Phe557 and Val750. In silico physicochemical calculations predicted that all the designed derivatives passed the Lipinski’s Rule of 5, and have good human intestinal absorption property (HIA>70%). Further, all the designed derivatives showed moderate central nervous system absorption (0.6<BBB<2.0), except for the derivative with a longer (5-Cs) chain length. Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggested that changing the acyl and geranyl side chains of the natural product molecule, tHGA, into two acyl bearing side chains, will improve its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles.

Temu kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata ROXB. SCHLECHT) is one of Indonesia medicinal plants which contains essential oils and flavonoids and it has interesting pharmacological activities, such as antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. It also contains pinostrobin which potent as anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities through inhibition of COX-2 enzymes. This research was to obtain pinostrobin derivatives of acylation reactions between pinostrobin and acyl chloride derivatives. The structure modifications of pinostrobin were obtained by Schotten-Baumann method through nucleophilic substitution reactions between pinostrobin and acyl chloride derivatives. Their structure had analyzed using the spectrophotometric analysis (NMR, IR, and GC/MS). The investigation of structure modifications of pinostrobin (1) from this plant has demonstrated the presence of pinostrobin acetate (2) and new pinostrobin propionate (3). The 2 and 3 are derivatives of pinostrobin that can be synthesized using the Schotten-Baumann method to yield 84.3% and 73.9%, respectively. The results of in silico study between pinostrobin and pinostrobin acyl derivatives on the COX-2 receptor with a PDB code: 1PXX showed that pinostrobin RS value was -87.18kcal/mol, while pinostrobin propionate had a RS value of -98.61 kcal/mol. It can be predicted that the pinostrobin acyl derivative has greater analgesic activity than pinostrobin, so it is feasible to be developed and carried out research on its analgesic activity in vivo.

The combination of various heterocyclic systems with a wide range of properties is quite expedient and is, in practice, a justified direction for obtaining biologically active substances, which ultimately forms a favorable basis for the creation of drugs. In recent decades, the attention of scientists has been closely focused on nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Among such compounds, 1,2,4-triazole and pyrazole occupy a special place. Indeed, on the basis of these systems, a significant number of well-known drugs have been created, which are widely used at the present time. The aim of the work was the synthesis of S-derivatives of 4-amino-5-(5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, study of their physical and chemical properties, pre-screening studies with subsequent establishment of the feasibility of further pharmacological studies. Materials and methods. Experimental methods of organic chemistry: synthesis using microwave activation, physical and chemical methods for the analysis of organic compounds (determination of the melting point, elemental analysis, 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy and chromatography-mass spectrometry). Methods for in silico pre-screening studies to establish the biological potential in several synthesized compounds (molecular docking). Results. 10 new S-derivatives of 4-amino-5-(5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol were synthesized. The structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by a set of physical and chemical methods of analysis. According to the results of prescreening studies, the main directions of research of biological properties of synthesized compounds were provided. Conclusions. The expediency of using microwave irradiation in the synthesis of a series of S-alkyl derivatives of 4-amino-5-(5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol had been proved. Based on the results of in silico studies, the expediency of further studies of anti-inflammatory, antifungal and anticancer activities in several synthesized compounds had been substantiated.
