Objective:To screen the phytochemicals for phosphodiesterase 5A (PDE5A) inhibitory potential and identify lead scaffolds of antihypertensive phytochemicals using in silico docking studies.Methods:In this perspective, reported 269 antihypertensive phytochemicals were selected. Sildenafil, a PDE5A inhibitor was used as the standard. In silico docking study was carried out to screen and identify the inhibiting potential of the selected phytochemicals against PDE5A enzyme using vLife MDS 4.4 software.Results:Based on docking score, π-stacking, H-bond and ionic interactions, 237 out of 269 molecules were selected which have shown one or more interactions. Protein residue Gln817A was involved in H-boding whereas Val782A, Phe820A and Leu804A were involved in π-stacking interaction with ligand. The selected 237 phytochemicals were structurally diverse, therefore 82 out of 237 molecules with one or more tricycles were filtered out for further analysis. Amongst tricyclic molecules, 14 molecules containing nitrogen heteroatom were selected for lead scaffold identification which finally resulted in three different basic chemical backbones like pyridoindole, tetrahydro-pyridonaphthyridine and dihydro-pyridoquinazoline as lead scaffolds.Conclusion:In silico docking studies revealed that nitrogen-containing tetrahydro-pyridonaphthyridine and dihydro-pyridoquinazoline tricyclic lead scaffolds have emerged as novel PDE5A inhibitors for antihypertensive activity. The identified lead scaffolds may provide antihypertensive lead molecules after its optimization.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of Persea americana extracts for their Anti-Parkinson application through an in-silico docking study. Methods: PubChem and protein data bank databases were used to retrieve 3D structures. AutoDock4 was used to perform protein-ligand docking analysis. PyMOL was used to visualize the docking results. Results: Among the 30 ligand, the highest affinity was demonstrated by Hesperidin with a free binding energy of −6.8 kcal/mol and formation of five hydrogen bonds. The second highest significance was demonstrated by Biphenyl 4-(4-diethylaminobenzylidenamino) with a free binding energy of −5.9 kcal/mol with the formation of 2 hydrogen bonds. Among the three sets of phytochemicals from different solvent extracts, water extract demonstrated the highest potential as Anti-Parkinson active. Conclusion: P. americana extracts were analyzed for their Anti-Parkinson potential, and among the three extracts, the aqueous extract was predicted to have significant Anti-Parkinson potential, based on in silico docking analysis, due to the presence of active phytochemicals such as Hesperidin and others.

Introduction and Aim: Phyllanthus acidus L.Skeels (Family: Phyllanthaceae) or Star Gooseberry which bears small, edible, juicy, sour, yellow berries fruit is known as a “liver tonic” in ayurvedic medicine. However, the behavior of the plant fruit or its constituents in cell apoptosis/cell survival is unknown. Hence, the purpose of thepresent study was to perform an in silico docking of selective bioactive compounds of aqueous extract of fruit of P.acidus (PAFAE) against MAPK1. Mitogen activated protein kinase is a family of serine threonine specific protein kinases- MAPK1/ERK1/2, JNK1-3, p38MAPK and ERK5.Activation ofMAPK1 promotes cell survival in certain tissues by inhibiting proapoptotic proteins and by stimulating anti apoptotic factors.   Methodology: In silico docking studies was carried out using bioinformatics tools.The active compounds (Trihomovitamin D3; 2Z,6Z,8Z,12E Hexadecatetraenoic acid, Methyl prednisolone, Hydroxysalmeterol and Tridesacetoxykhivorin) ofP.acidus aqueous fruit extract were docked against MAPK1 resulting in receptor-ligand complex.   Results: The binding energy is correlated with the probability of affinity and stable bound between ligand and its receptor.   Conclusion: The molecular docking study of selective bioactive compounds of PAFAE with MAPK1 protein revealed that Tridesacetoxykhivorinand Methyl Prednisolone, is having good interaction in favorable pose with MAPK1 as shownfrom theireffective binding energy(-7.79kcal/mol and -7.19 kcal/mol), strong bond length and interactions with active site of MAPK1.

Background: 1,3,4-thiadiazolo pyrimidine is a lead molécule which is versatile for a wide variety of biological activities and in continuation of our interest in establishing some novel heterocyclic compounds for antitumor activity. Objective: The objective of the study was to synthesize series of 5-amino-7-(substituted aldehyde)-2[(naphthalene-2-yloxy)methyl] - [1,3,4]thiadiazolo-[3,2-α]-pyrimidine-6- carbonitrile derivative and evaluated for their possible in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. Methods: Herein we report the synthetic scheme which was followed for the preparation of a series of title compounds B1- B9 is outlined in the scheme 1. The intermediate 5-[(naphthalen-2- yloxy)methyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazolo-2-amine was prepared by heating 2-naphthoxyacetic acid and thiosemicarbazide in presence of phosphoryl chloride at a temperature of 65 - 750C. The obtained compound reacted with malononitrile and appropriate amount of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes in refluxing ethanol yielded 5-amino-7-(substituted aldehyde)-2[(naphthalene-2-yloxy)methyl] -[1,3,4]thiadiazolo-[3,2-α]-pyrimidine-6- carbonitrile derivatives (B1 – B9). The purity of synthesized compounds ensured by various spectral analysis. Results: In in-silico molecular docking studies compounds B3 and B9 show binding affinity like known PARP1 inhibitor olaparib. The cellular evaluation indicates that the anticancer activity of compounds B1, B3, B9 is significant when compared to standard drug (olaparib) against MDA-MB-232 cell line and compounds B3, B6, B7 are most active against MCF-7 cell lines. The most active compound B3 was subjected to acute oral toxicity studies by OECD 423 guidelines and in-vivo anti-cancer studies were carried out using DMBA induced model. Conclusion: The in-silico docking study of the newly synthesized compounds were performed, the results showed good binding mode in the active site of PARP1 enzyme. In-silico ADME properties of synthesized compounds were also studied and showed good drug like properties.
