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.

ADME properties and toxicity predictions play an essential role in prioritization and optimization of drug molecules. According to recent statistics, drug efficacy and safety are principal reasons for drug failure. In this perspective, the position of ADME predictions in the evolution of traditional QSAR from the single objective of biological activity to a multi-task concept is discussed. The essential features of ADME and toxicity QSAR models are highlighted. Since such models are applied to prioritize existing or virtual project compounds with already established or predicted target affinity, a mechanistic interpretation, although desirable, is not a primary goal. However, a broad applicability domain is crucial. A future challenge with multi-objective QSAR is to adapt to the realm of big data by integrating techniques for the exploitation of the continuously increasing number of ADME data and the huge amount of clinical development endpoints for the sake of efficacy and safety of new drug candidates.

Abstract Background: The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causes a severe respiratory illness that was unknown in the human before. Its alarmingly quick transmission to many countries across the world resulted in a worldwide health emergency. It has caused a notable percentage of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, an imminent need for drugs to combat this disease has been increased. Global collaborative efforts from scientists are underway to find a therapy to treat infections and reduce death cases. Herbal medicines and purified natural products have been reported to have antiviral activity against Coronaviruses (CoVs).Methods: In this study, a High Throughput Virtual Screening (HTVS) protocol was used as a fast method on the discovery of novel drug candidates as the COVID-19 main protease inhibitors. Over 180,000 natural product-based compounds were obtained from the ZINC database and virtually screened against the COVID-19 main protease. In this study, the Glide docking program was applied for high throughput virtual screening. Extra precision (XP) and in a combination of Prime module, induced-fit docking (IFD) approach was also used. Additionally, the ADME properties of all compounds were analyzed, and the final selection was carried out based on the Lipinski rule of five. Results: The nineteen compounds were selected and introduced as new potential inhibitors. The compound ZINC08765174 (1-[3-(1H-indol-3-yl) propanoyl]-N-(4-phenylbutan-2-yl)piperidine-3-carboxamide) showed a strong binding affinity (-11.5 kcal/mol) to the crucial residues of COVID-19 main protease comparing to peramivir (-9.8 kcal/mol) as a positive control.Conclusions: The excellent ADME properties proposed the opportunity of this compound to be a promising candidate for the treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Marburg virus, a filovirus, causes severe hemorrhagic fever with hitherto poorly understood molecular pathogenesis. We have investigated here the vectorial transport of the surface protein GP of Marburg virus in polarized epithelial cells. To this end, we established an MDCKII cell line that was able to express GP permanently (MDCK-GP). The functional integrity of GP expressed in these cells was analyzed using vesicular stomatitis virus pseudotypes. Further experiments revealed that GP is transported in MDCK-GP cells mainly to the apical membrane and is released exclusively into the culture medium facing the apical membrane. When MDCKII cells were infected with Marburg virus, the majority of GP was also transported to the apical membrane, suggesting that the protein contains an autonomous apical transport signal. Release of infectious progeny virions, however, took place exclusively at the basolateral membrane of the cells. Thus, vectorial budding of Marburg virus is presumably determined by factors other than the surface protein.
