The 5,8-quinolinedione-betulin hybrids were investigated using spectroscopic methods as well as a variety of quantum chemical calculations in order to characterize their molecular structure. We used FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy supplemented by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular orbital (HOMO, LUMO) analyses. The experimental and calculated FT-IR spectra showed a good correlation for all compounds. Analysis of carbonyl band showed that the compounds are the 7-mono substituted. The calculated 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of hybrids reproduced well the experimental ones. Identification of C-6 and C-7 carbon atoms of 5,8-quinolinedione revealed the position of betulin moiety at the C-7 of 5,8-quinolinedione. Molecular electrostatic potential maps of hybrids allowed to recognize the electrophilic and nucleophilic regions within the molecules. The molecular docking study was used to examine the interaction between the 5,8-quinolinedione-betulin hybrids and the SARS-CoV-2 protein, like: Mpro and PLpro. The obtained results showed that compounds with the highest Dock Score are good anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential drug candidates.

In this study, mitoxantrone and its halogenated derivatives have been designed by density functional theory (DFT) to explore their structural and thermodynamical properties. The performance of these drugs was also evaluated to inhibit DNA topoisomerase type IIα(TOP2A) by molecular docking calculation. Noncovalent interactions play significant role in improving the performance of halogenated drugs. The combined quantum and molecular mechanics calculations revealed that CF3containing drug shows better preference in inhibiting the TOP2A compared to other modified drugs.

Thiadiazole Derivatives

Background: Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole scaffolds were reported to possess various pharmaceutical activities. Results: The novel compound named methyl-2-(1-(3-methyl-6-(p-tolyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazine-1-carbodithioate 3 acted as a predecessor molecule for the synthesis of new thiadiazole derivatives incorporating imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole moiety. The reaction of 3 with the appropriate hydrazonoyl halide derivatives 4a–j and 7–9 had produced the respective 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 6a–j and 10–12. The chemical composition of all the newly synthesized derivatives were confirmed by their microanalytical and spectral data (FT-IR, mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR). All the produced novel compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative efficacy on hepatic cancer cell lines (HepG2). In addition, a computational molecular docking study was carried out to determine the ability of the synthesized thiadiazole molecules to interact with active site of the target Glypican-3 protein (GPC-3). Moreover, the physiochemical properties of the synthesized compounds were derived to determine the viability of the compounds as drug candidates for hepatic cancer. Conclusion: All the tested compounds had exhibited good anti-proliferative efficacy against hepatic cancer cell lines. In addition, the molecular docking results showed strong binding interactions of the synthesized compounds with the target GPC-3 protein with lower energy scores. Thus, such novel compounds may act as promising candidates as drugs against hepatocellular carcinoma.

AbstractHSP90 is observed as one of the copious molecular chaperones that play a key role in mediating appropriate folding, maturation, and firmness of many client proteins in cells. The expression rate of HSP90 in cancer cells is at a level of 2- to 10-fold higher than the 1- to 2-fold of its unstressed and healthy ones. To combat this, several inhibitors to HSP90 protein have been studied (such as geldanamycin and its derivative 17-AAG and 17-DMAG) and have shown some primary side effects including plague, nausea, vomiting, and liver toxicity, hence the search for the best-in-class inhibitor for this protein through in silico. This study is aimed at analyzing the inhibitory potency of oxypeucedanin-a furocoumarin derivations, which have been reported to have antipoliferative activity in human prostrate carcinoma DN145 cells, and three other drug candidates retrieved from the literature via computational docking studies. The results showed oxypeucedanin as the compound with the highest binding energy of −9.2 kcal/mol. The molecular docking study was carried out using PyRx, Auto Dock Vina option, and the target was validated to confirm the proper target and the docking procedure employed for this study.

The present investigation informs a descriptive study of 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) -3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one compound, by using density functional theory at B3LYP method with 6-311G** basis set. The oxygen atoms and π-system revealed a high chemical reactivity for the title compound as electron donor spots and active sites for an electrophilic attack. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), softness (S), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity (ω) were yielded as descriptors for the molecule’s chemical behavior. The optimized molecular structure was obtained, and the experimental data were matched with geometrical analysis values describing the molecule’s stable structure. The computed FT-IR and Raman vibrational frequencies were in good agreement with those observed experimentally. In a molecular docking study, the inhibitory potential of the studied molecule was evaluated against the penicillin-binding proteins of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The carbonyl group in the molecule was shown to play a significant role in antibacterial activity, four bonds were formed by the carbonyl group with the key protein of the bacteria (three favorable hydrogen bonds plus one van der Waals bond) out of six interactions. The strong antibacterial activity was also indicated by the calculated high binding energy (−7.40 kcal/mol).
