: Anticonvulsants are drugs used in the treatment of seizures, their pharmacology includes promoters of brain inhibition and inhibitors of brain activity; Of the latter, voltage-dependent sodium channel blockers (VGSCB) are the most widely used in therapeutics. Objective: To propose the structural requirements of VGSC blockers through a quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis of drugs with proven activity. Methods: IC50 values of anticonvulsant drugs on VGSCs were considered under similar experimental conditions; some physicochemical properties of the molecules that were correlated with their biological activity were determined in silico. Results: Relationships were found between the dipole moment, pKa, EHOMO, and MR with the biological activity, which infers that between greater polarity and basicity of the drugs, their activity as blockers will increase. Subsequently, the structural subclassification of the drugs was carried out, based on the urea derivation, the groups of which were: Group 1 (direct and bioisoster derivatives) and Group 2 (homologue and vinylogue derivatives of urea). Conclusion: The biological activity depends on the polarity, basicity, and electronic density of the drugs. The derivation of urea is essential, which is present in its original substituted form or a bioisosteric form. Urea can be in the form of a homologue or a vinylogue at the ends of the molecule. Aromatic substitution to the urea portion is necessary.

Natural and synthetic anionophores promote the trans-membrane transport of anions such as chloride and bicarbonate. This process may alter cellular homeostasis with possible effects on internal ions concentration and pH levels triggering several and diverse biological effects. In this article, an overview of the recent results on the study of aniontransporters, mainly acting with a carrier-type mechanism, is given with emphasis on the structure/activity relationship and on their biological activity as antibiotic and anticancer agents and in the development of new drugs for treating conditions derived from dysregulation of natural anion channels.

Background: Syzygium densiflorum Wall. ex Wight & Arn (Myrtaceae) has been traditionally used by the local tribes of the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India, for the treatment of diabetes. Objective: This study aimed to isolate the major phytoconstituents from the S. densiflorum fruits and to perform computational studies for chemical reactivity and biological activity of the isolated compound. Materials and Methods: Two different compounds were isolated from ethanolic extract of S. densiflorum fruits and purified using HPLC. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of their 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC, HRESIMS, and FT-IR data. Further, the chemical reactivity of the compounds was analyzed by density functional theory calculations and its therapeutic role in diabetic management was examined by comparing the structure of isolated compounds with previously reported bioactive compounds. Results: Of the two compounds ((6,6 & 1-kestopentaose (1) and 6-(hydroxymethyl)-3-[3,4,5- trihydroxy- 6-[(3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl)oxymethyl]oxan-2-yl]oxyoxane-2,4,5-triol)(2)). β-glucosidase, β-galactosidase, α-glucosidase and β-amylase inhibition activity of the compounds were predicted by structure activity relationship. Conclusion: Structure-activity relationship analysis was performed to predict the therapeutic role of isolated compounds. These computational studies may be performed to minimize the efforts to determine the therapeutic role of natural compounds.
