A new series of fluoroquinolone compounds have been obtained by Gould-Jacobs method. The compounds have been characterized by physic-chemical methods (elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis) and by antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. For the synthesized compounds have been performed calculations of characteristics and molecular properties, using Spartan�14 Software from Wavefunction, Inc. Irvine, CA. and molecular docking studies using CLC Drug Discovery Workbench 2.4 software, to identify and visualize the most likely interaction ligand (fluoroquinolone) with the receptor protein.

AbstractTwo pyrazol-4-carboxamides, 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-(mesitylcarbamoyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxa-mide (7a) and 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-((3,5-dimethylphenyl) carbamoyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (7b) were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by the aid of 1H NMR and HRMS analyses. The structure of the pyrazole-4-carboxamide, 7a was also determined by X-ray diffraction. The preliminary activity results demonstrate that these two compounds exhibit good inhibitory activity against Botrytis cinerea. Further docking results indicated that the key active group is difluoromethyl pyrazole moiety.

Electron crystallography is a term which has emerged in the past few years to describe the quantitative structure analysis of microcrystalline preparations in the electron microscope. The field represents the confluence of two techniques, i.e. the ultramicroscopic capabilities of the electron microscope coupled with analytical techniques long in use by X-ray crystallographers. In the area of organic materials, the most visible success of the technique to date has been in the structure analysis of thin protein microcrystals typically to ca20 Å resolution but sometimes out to e.g. 7 Å and, in this field, there has been considerable effort by an increasing number of laboratories.Although the electron crystallography of small organic molecules and linear polymers has a much longer history than the application to globular proteins, one cannot cite an overwhelming enthusiasm for this technique, despite its promise as a probe for molecules which are not easily crystallized to sample sizes useful for single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements.

In view of the fact that the mechanisms of the interaction of organic molecules with the properties of the drug occur in most cases by their binding to the receptors (proteins), we wanted to examine the interactions of small organic molecules that we synthesized and certain proteins. In this paper the comparison between molecules, modeled by different software packages, and experimental results is performed. The series of new molecules are synthesized using Barbier reaction of allylation of carbonyl compounds with 4-(bromomethyl)-1,3-dioxol-2-one as a highly fictionalized allylic synthon. Their structure was determined by spectroscopic methods (NMR-, IR- and UV/VIS-spectroscopy and MS-spectrometry), while for three individual molecules analysis of x-ray diffraction (X-ray analysis) was also performed, which gave the final confirmation of the exact arrangement of all atoms in the space. The molecules are represented in standard chemical format, visualized and prepared for simulations. In order to obtain datasets that further can be used to examine and analyze interactions with well-known proteins, molecular dynamic simulations are performed. The purpose of this research was to present that using powerful computer infrastructure and appropriate software tools, an accurate molecule models can be created.

A series of oxazolidinone compounds have been obtained and characterized by physico-chemical methods and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus Aureus ATCC 6538. For the synthesized compounds have been performed calculations of characteristics and molecular properties, using Spartan 14 Software from Wavefunction, Inc. Irvine, CA. and molecular docking studies using CLC Drug Discovery Workbench 2.4 software, to identify and visualize the most likely interaction ligand (oxazolidinone derivatives) with the receptor protein.

AbstractA Novel (E)-2-(1-(3-aminophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarboxamide 1 was synthesized by traditional method and converted to (E)-2-(2-aminobenzylidene)hydrazinecarboxamide 2 by single step in DMSO at room temperature. Synthesized compound 1 was analysed by spectroscopy (NMR and LC–MS) techniques and molecule 2 was characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy (NMR and GC–MS) techniques. These analytical technique results revealed that, C-demethylation and 1, 2 amino shift in phenyl ring of compound 1 gives molecule 2. DNA binding studies of compounds 1 and 2 was carried out by electronic absorption spectroscopy. This result revealed that, compounds 1 and 2 showed hyperchromism with bathochromic shift. Anticancer activity of compounds 1 and 2 is carried out by molecular docking with five receptors.Computer aided virtual screening demonstrated that the synthesized molecules possess ideal drug likeliness, pharmacokinetics features, toxicity profile for structure based drug discovery. The molecular docking studies revealed that the synthesized molecules are significant binding with the five selected cancer receptors with minimum binding energy (kcal/mol), number of hydrogen bonds, weak interaction, docking score and cluster RMS. The docking studies also suggested that the molecules showed interactions with DNA and the theoretical values of the binding are comparable with that of the experimental values. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to analyze and quantify the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure of compound 2.
