Background: The current outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) led to public health emergencies all over the world and made it a global concern. Also, the lack of an effective treatment to combat this virus is another concern that has appeared. Today, increasing knowledge of biological structures like increasing computer power brings about a chance to use computational methods efficiently in different phases of the drug discovery and development for helping solve this new global problem. Methods: In this study, 3D pharmacophores were generated based on thirty-one structures with functional affinity inhibition (antiviral drugs used for SARS and MERS) with IC50<250 µM from the literature data. A 3D-QSAR model has been developed and validated to be utilized in virtual screening. Results: The best pharmacophore models have been utilized as 3D queries for virtual screening to gain promising inhibitors from a data set of thousands of natural compounds retrieved from PubChem. The hit compounds were subsequently used for molecular docking studies to investigate their affinity to the 3D structure of the SARS-CoV-2 receptors. The ADMET properties calculate for the hits with high binding affinity. Conclusion: The study outcomes can help understand the molecular characteristics and mechanisms of the binding of hit compounds to SARS-CoV-2 receptors and promising identification inhibitors that are likely to be evolved into drugs.

Background: Development of novel antimalarial agents has been one of the sought areas in medicinal chemistry. In this study the same was done by virtual screening of in-house database on developed QSAR model. </P><P> Methods: A six point pharmacophore model was generated (AADHRR.56) from 41 compounds using PHASE module of Schrodinger software and used for pharmacophore based search. Docking studies of the obtained hits were performed using GLIDE. Most promising hit was synthesized & biologically evaluated for antimalarial activity. </P><P> Result: The best generated model was found to be statistically significant as it had a high correlation coefficient r2= 0.989 and q2 =0.76 at 3 component PLS factor. The significance of hypothesis was also confirmed by high Fisher ratio (F = 675.1) and RMSE of 0.2745. The model developed had good predicted coefficient (Pearson R = 0.8826). The virtual screening on this model resulted in six hits, which were docked against FP-2 enzyme. The synthesized compound displayed IC50 value of 0.27&#181;g/ml against CQS (3D7) and 0.57μg/ml against CQR (RKL9). </P><P> Conclusion: 3D QSAR studies reviled that hydrophobic groups are important for anti-malarial activity while H-donor is less desirable for the same. Electron withdrawing groups at R1 position favours the activity. The biological activity data of the synthesized hit proved that the pharmacophore hypothesis developed could be utilized for developing novel anti-malarial drugs.

Histone Deacetylase 1

Objective: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have four essential pharmacophores as cap group, connecting unit, a linker moiety and zinc binding group for their anticancer and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition activity. On the basis of this fact, the objective of this research was to evaluate the exact role of pyrazole nucleus as connecting unit and its role in the development of newer HDACi.Methods: Ligand and structure-based computer-aided drug design strategies such as pharmacophore and atom based 3D QSAR modelling, molecular docking and energetic based pharmacophore mapping have been frequently applied to design newer analogs in a precise manner. Herein, we have applied these combinatorial approaches to develop the structure-activity correlation among novel pyrazole-based derivatives.Results: the Pharmacophore-based 3D-QSAR model was developed employing Phase module and e-pharmacophore on compound 1. This 3D-QSAR model provides fruitful information regarding favourable and unfavourable substitution on pyrazole-based analogs for HDAC1 inhibition activity. Molecular docking studies indicated that all the pyrazole derivatives bind with HDAC1 proteins and showed critical hydrophobic interaction with 5ICN and 4BKX HDAC1 proteins.Conclusion: The outcome of the present research work clearly indicated that pyrazole nucleus added an essential hydrophobic feature in cap group and could be employed to design the ligand molecules more accurately.

Objective: The objective of the current study was to elucidate the 3D pharmacophoric features of benzothiadiazine derivatives that are crucial for inhibiting Hepatitis C virus (HCV) Non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) and quantifying the features by building an atom based 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D QSAR) model.Methods: Generation of QSAR model was carried out using PHASE 3.3.Results: A five-point pharmacophore model with two hydrogen bond acceptors, one negative ionization potential and two aromatic rings (AANRR) was found to be common among a maximum number of benzothiadiazine based NS5B inhibitors. A statistically significant 3D QSAR model was obtained from AANRR.6 which had correlation-coefficient (R2) value of 0.924, cross-validated correlation-coefficient (Q2) of 0.774, high Fisher ratio of 138 and low root mean square standard error (RMSE=0.29). There is another parameter, Pearson’s R, its value emphasizes correlation between predicted and observed activities of the test set. For the current model, Pearson’s R-value is 0.90, hence underlining the good quality of the model. The present study suggests that nitrogen atom of benzothiadiazine sulfamide ring, oxyacetamide group attached to C7 carbon of benzothiadiazine and sulfonamide oxygens are crucial for NS5B inhibitory activity. Prediction of activities of hit drugs generated in earlier research suggests that Aprepitant (Phase predicted activity: 6.9) could be a potential NS5B inhibitor.Conclusion: This 3D QSAR model developed was statistically good and can be used to predict the activities of newly designed NS5B inhibitors and virtual screening as well. Predict the activities of newly designed NS5B inhibitors and virtual screening as well.
