Theoretical Results

The present study deals with the in silico and in vitro studies of DBDP derivatives, which is formed from the Michal-addition reaction of DihydroBenzo[b]Dioxin Chalcone Derivatives(DBDD) with hydrazine hydrate and carboxyethane. The DBDD were synthesized via Claisen condensation between substituted aldehyde and 1,4-(benzodioxan-6-yl)-methyl ketone. The newly arrived compounds were characterized by IR and NMR spectra. The structurally confirmed synthesized compounds were screened against 1UAG microbial protein, 1OQA cancer protein using auto dock software, and ADME properties also found by using (in silico) Swissadme and Molinspiration online tools. All the newly arrived DBDP compounds have passed the acceptable values of ADME (drug-likeness), medicinal property, and lead likeness in ADME prediction. Compound DBDP-9 scored better values in drug-likeness. It obeys the five basic rules (Lipinski, Ghose, Verber, Egan, and Muegge) of medicinal chemistry property, passed the PAINS, Brenk filters with 0 violation, and also have better lead likeness value. All the other compounds in this series also passed the above-mentioned properties with 1 or 2 violations only present in PAINS and Brenk filter. This theoretical results incitement to performed docking and in vitro studies of the DBDP derivatives. Docking studies results that the good I.S averse to 1 UAG bacterial protein than standard drugs and also give impact values in the docking against 1OQA breast cancer protein. Overall observation from the above studies, DBDP-9 has a maximum oral absorption value 91.36% with 0 violation alert in drug-likeness, medicinal property, and pharmacokinetics filter. DBDP-4 has a good I.S (-8.8), DBDP-2 has 4 numbers of HBI as standard, and all the DBDP 1-9 compounds have higher I.S than the standard and also have impact I.S against 1OQA breast cancer protein.

Aim and Objective: Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes play an important role in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory and allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Inhibitors of the LOX are believed to be an ideal approach in the treatment of diseases caused by its over-expression. In this regard, several synthetic and natural agents are under investigation worldwide. Alkaloids are the most thoroughly investigated class of natural compounds with outstanding past in clinically useful drugs. In this article, we have discussed various alkaloids of plant origin that have already shown lipoxygenase inhibition in-vitro with possible correlation in in silico studies. Materials and Methods: Molecular docking studies were performed using MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) software. Among the ten reported LOX alkaloids inhibitors, derived from plant, compounds 4, 2, 3 and 1 showed excellent docking scores and receptor sensitivity. Result and Conclusion: These compounds already exhibited in vitro lipoxygenase inhibition and the MOE results strongly correlated with the experimental results. On the basis of these in vitro assays and computer aided results, we suggest that these compounds need further detail in vivo studies and clinical trial for the discovery of new more effective and safe lipoxygenase inhibitors. In conclusion, these results might be useful in the design of new and potential lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors.

Background: Azoles are commonly used in the treatment and prevention of fungal infections. They suppress fungal growth by acting on the heme group of lanosterol 14α-demethylase enzyme (CYP51), thus blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol. </P><P> Objectives: Due to the importance of pyrazolines in the field of antifungal drug design, we aimed to design and synthesize new pyrazoline-based anticandidal agents. Methods: New pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of 1-(chloroacetyl)-3-(2- thienyl)-5-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-pyrazoline with aryl thiols. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal effects on Candida species. Docking studies were performed to predict the affinity of the most effective anticandidal agents to substrate binding site of CYP51. Furthermore, MTT assay was performed to determine the cytotoxic effects of the compounds on NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line. A computational study for the prediction of ADME properties of all compounds was also carried out. Results: Compounds 5, 8, 10 and 12 were found as the most potent anticandidal agents against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata in this series with the same MIC values of ketoconazole and they also exhibited low toxicity against NIH/3T3 cells. Docking results indicated that all these compounds showed good binding affinity into the active site of CYP51. In particular, chloro substituted compounds 8 and 12 bind to CYP51 through direct coordination with the heme group. According to in silico studies, compound 8 only violated one parameter of Lipinski’s rule of five, making it a potential orally bioavailable agent. Conclusion: Compound 8 was defined as a promising candidate for further in vitro and in vivo studies.

Background: 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-thiazole derivatives (2a–j), (3a–f) and (4a–f) were synthesized, characterized and screened for their potential as antimicrobial agents. In the preliminary screening against a panel of bacterial strains, nine compounds showed moderate to potent antibacterial activity (IC50 = 13.7-90.8 μg/ml). </P><P> Methods: In the antifungal screening, compound (4c) displayed potent antifungal activity (IC50 = 26.5 &#181;g/ml) against Candida tropicalis comparable to the standard drug, fluconazole (IC50 = 10.5 &#181;g/ml). Based on in vitro antimicrobial results, compounds 2f, 4c and 4e were selected for further pharmacological investigations. Hemolytic activity using human red blood cells (hRBCs) and cytotoxicity by MTT assay on human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells revealed non-toxic nature of the selected compounds (2f, 4c and 4e). To ascertain their possible mode of action, docking studies with the lead inhibitors (2f, 4c and 4e) were performed using crystal structure coordinates of bacterial methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), an enzyme involved in bacterial protein synthesis and maturation. Results: The results of in vitro and in silico studies provide a rationale for selected compounds (2f, 4c and 4e) to be carried forward for further structural modifications and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies against these bacterial infections. Conclusion: The study suggested binding with one or more key amino acid residues in the active site of Streptococcus pneumoniae MetAP (SpMetAP) and Escherichia coli MetAP (EcMetAP). In silico physicochemical properties using QikProp confirmed their drug likeliness.

Background: Some reports have demonstrated the role of the G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) in growth and proliferation of breast cancer cells. Objective: In an effort to develop new therapeutic strategies against breast cancer, we employed an in silico study to explore the binding modes of tetrahydroquinoline 2 and 4 to be compared with the reported ligands G1 and G1PABA. Methods: This study aimed to design and filter ligands by in silico studies determining their Lipinski's rule, toxicity and binding properties with GPER to achieve experimental assays as anti-proliferative compounds of breast cancer cell lines. Results: In silico studies suggest as promissory two tetrahydroquinoline 2 and 4 which contain a carboxyl group instead of the acetyl group (as is needed for G1 synthesis), which add low (2) and high hindrance (4) chemical moieties to explore the polar, hydrophobic and hindrance effects. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the target compounds were performed with GPER to explore their binding mode and free energy values. In addition, the target small molecules were synthesized and assayed in vitro using breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Experimental assays showed that compound 2 decreased cell proliferation, showing IC50 values of 50µM and 25µM after 72h of treatment of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. Importantly, compound 2 showed a similar inhibitory effect on proliferation as G1 compound in MDA-MB-231 cells, suggesting that both ligands reach the GPER-binding site in a similar way, as was demonstrated through in silico studies. Conclusion: A concentration-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation occurred with compound 2 in the two cell lines regardless of GPER.

This study aimed to isolate xanthones from Garcinia forbesii and evaluated their activity in vitro and in silico. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods. The antidiabetic activity was performed against α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes. The antiplasmodial activity was evaluated using Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 sensitive to chloroquine. Molecular docking analysis on the human lysosomal acid-alpha-glucosidase enzyme (5NN8) and P. falciparum lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (1CET) and prediction of ADMET for the active compound, were also studied. For the first time, lichexanthone (1), subelliptenone H (2), 12b-hydroxy-des-D-garcigerrin A (3), garciniaxanthone B (4) and garcigerin A (5) were isolated from the CH2Cl2 extract of the stem bark of G. forbesii. Four xanthones (Compounds 2–5) showed strong antioxidant activity. In vitro α-glucosidase test showed that Compounds 2 and 5 were more active than the others, while Compound 4 was the strongest against α-amylase enzymes. In vitro antiplasmodial evaluation revealed that Compounds 2 and 3 showed inhibitory activity on P. falciparum. Molecular docking studies confirmed in vitro activity. ADMET predictions suggested that Compounds 1–5 were potential candidates for oral drugs. The isolated 2–5 can be used as promising phytotherapy in antidiabetic and antiplasmodial treatment.

A convenient and efficient synthesis of a series of ethyl-1-(6-(4-substitutedacetylatedpiperazin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (8a-8j) has been developed by five steps which include activation of a methylene group, hydrazinolysis, cyclisation and chloro-amine coupling reactions. Moreover, our proposed mechanism was confirmed in this study demonstrating that ethyl 5-amino-1-(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate is the key intermediate to fulfill the desired outcomes. In silico and in vitro studies were carried out to identify the active agents among the developed adducts against mycobacterium tuberculosis (PDB ID:4TRO). Compound 8a (Docking Score: -26.81 and MIC: 1.6 ug/mL) was found to be the most potent among the synthesized molecules. All the synthesized compounds showed acceptable drug-like properties which make them suitable for further lead modification using in silico design approaches.
