In recent years, one of the promising approaches in the QSAR modeling Monte Carlo optimization approach as conformation independent method, has emerged. Monte Carlo optimization has proven to be a valuable tool in chemoinformatics, and this review presents its application in drug discovery and design. In this review, the basic principles and important features of these methods are discussed as well as the advantages of conformation independent optimal descriptors developed from the molecular graph and the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) notation compared to commonly used descriptors in QSAR modeling. This review presents the summary of obtained results from Monte Carlo optimization-based QSAR modeling with the further addition of molecular docking studies applied for various pharmacologically important endpoints. SMILES notation based optimal descriptors, defined as molecular fragments, identified as main contributors to the increase/ decrease of biological activity, which are used further to design compounds with targeted activity based on computer calculation, are presented. In this mini-review, research papers in which molecular docking was applied as an additional method to design molecules to validate their activity further, are summarized. These papers present a very good correlation among results obtained from Monte Carlo optimization modeling and molecular docking studies.

A series of new urea derivatives, containing aryl moieties as potential antimicrobial agents, were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and LCMS spectral techniques. All newly synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against five bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). Variable levels of interaction were observed for these urea derivatives. However, and of major importance, many of these molecules exhibited promising growth inhibition against Acinetobacter baumannii. In particular, to our delight, the adamantyl urea adduct 3l demonstrated outstanding growth inhibition (94.5%) towards Acinetobacter baumannii. In light of this discovery, molecular docking studies were performed in order to elucidate the binding interaction mechanisms of the most active compounds, as reported herein.

Novel candidates of 3-(4-(thiophen-2-yl)-pyridin/pyran/pyrimidin/pyrazol-2-yl)-1H-indole derivatives (2–12) were designed by pairing the pyridine/pyrane/pyrimidine/pyrazole heterocycles with indole and thiophene to investigate their potential activities as (2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) inhibitors. The purpose of these derivatives’ modification is to create high-efficiency antioxidants, especially against ABTS, as a result of the efficiency of this set of key heterocycles in the inhibition of ROS. Herein, 2D QSAR modeling was performed to recommend the most promising members for further in vitro investigations. Furthermore, the pharmacological assay for antioxidant activity evaluation of the yielded indole-based heterocycles was tested against ABTS (2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid); by utilizing ascorbic acid as the standard. Candidate 10 showed higher antioxidant activity (IC50 = 28.23 μg/mL) than ascorbic acid itself which achieved (IC50 = 30.03 μg/mL). Moreover, molecular docking studies were performed for the newly designed and synthesized drug candidates to propose their mechanism of action as promising cytochrome c peroxidase inhibitors compared to ascorbic acid as a reference standard. Our findings could be promising in the medicinal chemistry scope for further optimization of the newly designed and synthesized compounds regarding the introduced structure-activity relationship study (SAR) in order to get a superior antioxidant lead compound in the near future.
