Background: Natural products have shown potent anti-HIV activity, but some of these also possess toxicity. The pharmacophoric fragments of these natural products have scope of combination with other pharmacophoric fragment and derivatization to reduce toxicity and increase the potency. Combination of natural product fragments from different classes of anti–HIV compounds may lead to a new class of potent anti–HIV agents. Objective: Design, in silico prediction of drug-likeness, ADMET properties and synthesis of pyrazol– pyridones. Evaluation of the anti–HIV–1 activity of synthesized pyrazol–pyridones. Methods: Pyrazol–pyridones were designed by combining reported anti–HIV pharmacophoric fragments. Designed molecules were synthesized after in silico prediction of drug-likeness and ADMET properties. Compounds were evaluated for activity against HIV–1VB59 and HIV–1UG070. Results: QED value of designed pyrazol–pyridones was greater than the known drug zidovudine. The designed compounds were predicted to be noncarcinogenic and nonmutagenic in nature. Seventeen novel pyrazol–pyridones were synthesized with good yield. Compound 6q and 6l showed activity with IC50 values 6.14 µM and 15.34 µM against HIV–1VB59 and 16.21 µM and 18.21 µM against HIV–1UG070, respectively. Conclusion: Compound 6q was found to be most potent among the synthesized compounds with a therapeutic index of 54.31against HIV–1VB59. This is the first report of anti–HIV–1 activity of pyrazol–pyridone class of compounds. Although the anti–HIV–1 activity of these compounds is moderate, this study opens up a new class for exploration of chemical space for anti–HIV–1 activity.

Background: Dual-targeting/Multi-targeting of oncoproteins by a single drug molecule represents an efficient, logical and alternative approach to drug combinations. In silico methods are useful tool for the search and design of selective multi-target agents. Objective: The objective of the present study was to design new hybrid compounds by linking the main structural unit of the NSAIDs with the benzothiazole and thiadiazole ring and to discover new hybrid NSAIDs as multi targeted anticancer agents through in silico approach. Method: Structure-based virtual screening was performed by applying ADMET filtration and Glide docking using Virtual screening Workflow. The docking studies were performed on three different types of receptors TNF-α, COX-II and protein kinase. Bioactivity prediction of screened compounds were done using Molinspiration online software tool. Results: Out of 54 designed compounds eighteen were screened on the basis of binding affinity on various receptors and ADMET filtration. Bioactivity prediction reveals that screened compounds may act through kinase inhibition or enzyme inhibition. Compounds 2sa, 5sa, 6sa and 7sa shows higher binding affinity with all three receptors. Conclusion: The study concluded that compound 2sa, 5sa, 6sa, and 7sa could be further explored for multiple targeted cancer therapy.
