Methods: Five protein targets were selected for the study and their structures were taken from RCSB Protein Data Bank in PDB format. Preparation of proteins was done using Discovery Studio 2021 Client. A total of twenty derivatives were drawn using ChemDraw 20.0 and saved in Mol format. Molecular docking was performed using PyRx software. Docking results were visualized by Discovery Studio 2021 Client. The pharmacokinetic properties of the best compounds were determined using the pkCSM tool. Results: All twenty derivatives were docked against the five proteins, namely DNA Ligase (PDB ID: 3PN1), Topoisomerase (PDB ID: 3TTZ), Sterol demethylase (PDB ID: 5FSA), Enoyl-acyl-carrier protein (PDB ID: 1BVR) and Glutamate racemase (PDB ID: 5HJ7). The compound JJB18 has shown the best binding score against DNA ligase (-10.7 kcal/mol), Glutamate racemase (-8.4 kcal/mol), and Enoyl-acyl-carrier protein (-10.8 kcal/mol). Further, compound JJB19 has shown the best score for fungal sterol demethylase (-10.6 kcal/mol) and compound JJB20 towards topoisomerase (-9.4 kcal/mol) than the standard drugs. The physicochemical properties of potent derivatives were also reported. Conclusion: Molecular Docking study indicates that coumarin-benzothiazole Schiff bases may be effective inhibitors for the different microbial proteins. Additionally, in silico ADMET studies predicts drug-like features. Hence, these compounds may be considered lead molecules and further investigation of their analogues may help in the development of novel drugs for the treatment of microbial diseases.

Methods: With the intent to discover potent novel antibacterial, we have designed a set of compounds containing the isoxazole nucleus by using software tools like Discovery studios, PyRx, PyMOL, SWISSPDB. ADMET studies were carried out by using SWISS ADMET and pkCSM. Molecular docking studies were carried out on the target proteins of both gram-positive and gram negative bacteria in order to assesses binding affinity for the proteins.

Chitin can be degraded into shorter oligosaccharides known as chito-oligosaccharides by either chemical or enzymatic methods. Chitin and its oligosaccharides, being biocompatible and biodegradable, have been reported to have several biomedical applications. The wound healing properties of this polymer have been determined primarily using in vivo studies on various animal models. However little has been studied regarding the mechanism of action of this polymer with regard to wound healing. Wound healing is a highly co-ordinated process involving inflammation, cell proliferation, matrix deposition, tissue remodeling, collagenation and epithelialization. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class enzymes that are structurally similar and contribute to degradation of extracellular matrix. They have a role in both normal and pathological matrix remodelling. Over expression of m...

Here, we developed 2D QSAR models for (n=6) 2! indolinone Lamotrigine Schiff base derivatives as cytotoxic agents using the CTC50 values of these compounds obtained by using MTT and SRB bioassay procedure for HEp!2 and DLA cell lines. Multiple regression equations developed using the calculated physicochemical parameters showed that for HEp!2 cell lines, SRB bioassay proc edure gave a better correlation between Van der Waals energy, shape flexibility index, surface area and anti!cancer activity (r 2 >0.95). Similarly for DLA cell lines, MTT bioassay gave better correlation between HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital), LogP, molecular refractivity and anti!cancer activity (r 2 >0.99). Also, the in-silico ADME and QSTR evaluation show...

Candidiasis includes a multitude of fungal infections, including invasive fungal infections, where most patients are immunocompromised; hence, the success of treatment is determined by the efficacy of the antifungal agent. However, with the increase in resistance to the existing drugs, the availability of effective antifungal agents is becoming scarce. Many pyrimidine derivatives exhibit powerful antifungal activity. In this study, In silico antifungal activity was carried out on twenty novel aminopyrimidine derivatives to identify the specificity of the pyrimidine analogues for the antifungal targets using ‘Glide’. Molecular docking studies were conducted on two antifungal targets; Dihydrofolate reductase of C. albicans (PDB ID: 4HOE); N-myristoyl transferase of C. albicans (PDB ID: 1IYK); energy minimization of title compounds was carried out using LigPrep, the protein targets were optimiz...

The present study shows not only the importance of Isatins as antimicrobials but also tries to identify and filter useful data pertaining to structural peculiarities which are in turn useful for pharmacological and medicinal predictions. From the present study, it is observed that all the compounds are predicted to have oral bioavailability, considerable chances of human intestinal absorption, and has no BBB penetrations. Available LD50, LC50, LOAEL values suggest that the molecules are safe for the further evaluations. Also from the available data generated by in-silco experimentation, it is predicted that compound 3B have considerable pharmacological profile for further developments.

The present research work focuses on the microwave assisted solvent less synthesis combined with conventional stirring and refluxation methods to form some novel substituted 4-quinolone pyrazolidinedione derivatives. The characterisation of n=9 derivatives was carried out using I.R, 1 H NMR and mass spectral analysis. The percentage yield of final compounds was found to be 22.15 to 69.68. Purity of the compounds was checked by using TLC and elemental analysis. These compounds showed a considerable anti-bacterial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis, Klebesiella pneumoniae and Proteus vulgaris and anti-inflammatory activity using Invitro testing methods compared to Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin and Ibuprofen respectively.
