Abstract
The cases of bacterial multidrug resistance are increasing every year and becoming a serious concern for human health. Multidrug efflux pumps are key players in the formation of antibiotic resistance, which transfer out a broad spectrum of drugs from the cell and convey resistance to the host. Efflux pumps have significantly reduced the efficacy of the previously available antibiotic armory, thereby increasing the frequency of therapeutic failures. In gram-negative bacteria, the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump is the principal transporter of the substrate and plays a major role in the formation of antibiotic resistance. In the current work, advanced computer-aided drug discovery approaches were utilized to find hit molecules from the library of biogenic chalcones against the bacterial AcrB efflux pump. The results of the performed computational studies via molecular docking, drug-likeness prediction, pharmacokinetic profiling, pharmacophore mapping, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics simulation study provided ZINC000004695648, ZINC000014762506, ZINC000014762510, ZINC000095099506, and ZINC000085510993 as stable hit molecules against the AcrB efflux pumps. Identified hits could successfully act against AcrB efflux pumps after optimization as lead molecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Thiosemicarbazones of isatin have been found to exhibit versatile bioactivities. In this study, two distinct types of isatin-triazole hybrids 3a and 3b were accessed via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), together with their mono and bis-thiosemicarbazone derivatives 4a-h and 5a-h. In addition to the characterization by physical, spectral and analytical data, a DFT study was carried out to obtain the optimized geometries of all thiosemicarbazones. The global reactivity values showed that among the synthesized derivatives, 4c, 4g and 5c having nitro substituents are the most soft compounds, with compound 5c having the highest electronegativity and electrophilicity index values among the synthesized series, thus possessing strong binding ability with biomolecules. Molecular docking studies were performed to explore the inhibitory ability of the selected compounds against the active sites of the anticancer protein of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Among the synthesized derivatives, 4-nitro substituted bisthiosemicarbazone 5c showed the highest binding energy of -10.3 kcal mol-1. These findings demonstrated that compound 5c could be used as a favored anticancer scaffold via the mechanism of inhibition against the PI3K signaling pathways.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a deadly breast cancer with a poor prognosis. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a key rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, is abnormally highly expressed in TNBC. Overexpressed PKM2 amplifies glucose uptake, enhances lactate production, and suppresses autophagy, thereby expediting the progression of oncogenic processes. A high mortality rate demands novel chemotherapeutic regimens at once. Herein, we report the rational development of an imidazopyridine-based thiazole derivative 7d as an anticancer agent inhibiting PKM2. Nanomolar range PKM2 inhibitors with favorable drug-like properties emerged through enzyme assays. Experiments on two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures, lactate release assay, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validated 7d preclinically. In vivo, 7d outperformed lapatinib in tumor regression. This investigation introduces a lead-based approach characterized by its clear-cut chemistry and robust efficacy in designing an exceptionally potent inhibitor targeting PKM2, with a focus on combating TNBC.

Abstract
Prangos species were previously used against many disorders due to their chemical component. Prangos aricakensis Behçet & Yapar is a newly discovered local endemic species in Turkey's eastern region, and there is no research on P. aricakensis in the literature. In this work, oxypeucedanin and osthol molecules have been isolated from the root part of P. aricakensis for the first time. Oxypeucedanin and osthol structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR analysis. For the bioactivities determination, antioxidant (DPPH· and ABTS·+ scavenging), enzyme inhibition (AChE, BChE, tyrosinase, and urease), antibacterial and DNA protection activity studies were applied for both molecules and compared with standard drug molecules, after applying enzyme kinetic assays and in silico approaches to clarify the mechanism of action for both molecules with enzymes, using molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT). Oxypeucedanin (2.19 ± 0.38 µg/mL) and osthol (4.57 ± 1.28 µg/mL) exhibited better activity than standards in DPPH∙ scavenging activity. Osthol (11.76 ± 0.59 µg/mL) showed a better tyrosinase inhibition effect than kojic acid (12.82 ± 0.91 µg/mL), and oxypeucedanin (3.03 ± 0.01 µg/mL) showed better urease inhibition effect than thiourea (5.37 ± 1.86 µg/mL). Our results showed that the osthol molecule was an excellent skin protective agent while the oxypeucedanin molecule could be a remarkable antiulcer agent. Therefore, although this study is the first in its field, it remained in the in vitro and in silico stages and is thought to pave the way for in vivo studies in the future.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The present study involves the synthesis of a new series of α-aminophosphonate derivatives in good yields with a simple workup via the Kabachnik-Fields reaction using lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as a catalyst to facilitate the reaction. All the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed using various physical, spectroscopic, and analytical data, and the obtained results correlated with the proposed molecular structure. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of each compound were evaluated against different clinical isolates. The results indicated that among these derivatives, two compounds (5a and 5b) were the most active and displayed potent activity with MICs in the range from 0.06 to 0.25 μg mL-1 compared with fosfomycin and fluconazole as standard antibiotics. Moreover, the synthesized phosphonates displayed a broad spectrum of bactericidal and fungicidal activities depending on MICs, MBCs/MFCs, and the time-kill kinetics. In addition, the checkerboard assay showed synergistic and partial synergistic activities between the active compounds combined with fosfomycin and fluconazole. Furthermore, the SEM images showed distinct ruptures of the OM integrity of the FOS-R E. coli at their MICs, which was further indicated by the increased EtBr accumulation within the bacterial cells. Moreover, active derivatives revealed MurA inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 3.8 ± 0.39 and 4.5 ± 0.23 μM compared with fosfomycin (IC50 = 12.7 ± 0.27 μM). To our surprise, exposing 5a and 5b compounds to different gamma radiation doses revealed that 7.0 kGy eradicated the microbial load completely. Finally, the results of quantum chemical study supported the binding mode obtained from the docking study performed inside the active site of MurA (PDB: 1UAE), suggesting that these phosphonates may be promising safe candidates for MDR infection therapy clinical trials with no toxic effects on the normal human cells.

Abstract
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a membrane-acting antibiotic used for the treatment of fungal and protozoal infections. AmB exists in various molecular forms, i.e., monomeric, super-aggregated, and oligomeric forms, where oligomeric forms are highly toxic because of their relative affinity toward cholesterol present over human cell membrane. Hence, the objective of our research work was to study the aggregation state of AmB in two different nanoformulations, i.e., solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and zein-based nanoparticles (PNPs), with the aim of enhancing the fraction of less toxic form of AmB, and a comparative study was performed. The zein and glyceryl monostearate can intercalate the polyenic domain of AmB and thereby hinder the hydrophobic attractions between the AmB molecules, which allows their existence in monomeric forms. The particle size of AmB-SLNs and AmB-PNPs were 378.90 ± 9.50 nm and 184.90 ± 6.00 nm, while zeta potential was -34.97 ± 0.51 mV and +28.93 ± 2.29 mV, respectively. In vitro release studies showed more controlled release of AmB from PNPs (52.48 ± 1.07%) as compared to SLNs (86.33 ± 0.93%). The predominant aggregation state of AmB in both formulations was determined by UV-visible and circular dichroism spectrophotometry, where a higher degree of monomerization of AmB was reported in AmB-SLNs as compared to AmB-PNPs. Toxicity of the nanoformulations was evaluated through hemolysis test, where the results suggested that AmB-SLNs and AmB-PNPs were less hemolytic as compared to pure AmB. The nanoformulations demonstrated the predominant monomeric form of AmB, which may offer higher selectivity index toward microbial membrane.

Synthesis, Antioxidant, and Antifungal Activities of β-Ionone Thiazolylhydrazone Derivatives and Their Application in Anti-Browning of Freshly Cut Potato. Molecules 2023; 28:6713.

Abstract
In order to develop a new type of antioxidants with high efficiency, a series of β-ionone thiazolylhydrazone derivatives were designed and synthesized from β-ionone, and their structures were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, and HR-MS. The antioxidant test in vitro indicated that most of the target compounds had high biological activity. Among them, compound 1k exhibited very strong DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical)-scavenging activity with a half-maximal effective concentration (IC50) of 86.525 μM. Furthermore, in the ABTS (2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) diammonium salt)-scavenging experiment, compound 1m exhibited excellent activity with an IC50 of 65.408 μM. Their biological activities were significantly better than those of the positive control Trolox. These two compounds, which have good free-radical-scavenging activity in vitro, were used as representative compounds in the anti-browning experiment of fresh-cut potatoes. The results showed that 1k and 1m had the same anti-browning ability as kojic acid, and they were effective browning inhibitors. In addition, it is well known that microbial infection is one of the reasons for food oxidation. Therefore, we investigated the antifungal activity of 25 target compounds against eight plant fungi at a concentration of 125 mg/L. The results indicated that these compounds all have some antifungal activity and may become new potential fungicides. Notably, compound 1u showed the best inhibitory effect against Poria vaporaria, with an inhibition rate as high as 77.71%; it is expected to become the dominant structure for the development of new antifungal agents.

Abstract
In this work, a novel Schiff-base derived from curcumin and L-Alanine was synthesized under microwave conditions in excellent yield. The structural characterization has been carried out from their elemental analyses, FTIR, UV-Vis and 13C-NMR and 1H-NMR spectral techniques. The Schiff base (Cur-Ala) and curcumin (Cur) have been screened for their antimicrobial activity toward some pathogens clinically important microorganisms: Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Result found that the Schiff base was more active than the curcumin. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of Cur-Ala can be attributed to its greatest dipole moment, as shown by theoretical calculations. Also, the antioxidant activity of Schiff base and curcumin were studied by DPPH, cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity and o-phenanthroline techniques. Results indicate that Cur-Ala and Cur show more antioxidant activities than the standard antioxidants (BHT and BHA). Quantum chemical parameter calculations of Cur-Ala and Cur have been investigated by DFT using B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis set method to calculate the optimized structure, atomic charges, MESP, global reactivity descriptors and thermomolecular proprieties of both molecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Aim of present study was to synthesize a novel chitosan-quercetin (CTS-QT) complex by making a carbodiimide linkage using maleic anhydride as cross-linker and to investigate its enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant activities as compare to pure CTS and QT. Equimolar concentration of QT and maleic anhydride were used to react with 100 mg CTS to form CTS-QT complex. For this purpose, three bacterial strains namely E. Coli, S. Aureus and P. Aeruginosa were used for in-vitro antibacterial analysis (ZOI, MIC, MBC, checker board and time kill assay). Later molecular docking studies were performed on protein structure of E. Coli to assess binding affinity of pure QT and CTS-QT complex. MD simulations with accelerated settings were used to explore the protein-ligand complex's binding interactions and stability. Antioxidant profile was determined by performing DPPH• radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total reducing power (TRP) assays. Delivery mechanism to CTS-QT complex was improved by synthesizing polycaprolactone containing microspheres (CTS-QT-PCL-Levo-Ms) using Levofloxacin as model drug to enhance their antibacterial profile. Resulted microspheres were evaluated by particle size, charge, surface morphology, in-vitro drug release and hemolytic profile and are all were found within limits. Antibacterial assay revealed that CTS-QT-PCL-Levo-Ms showed more than two folds increased bactericidal activity against E. Coli and P. Aeruginosa, while 1.5 folds against S. Aureus. Green colored formation of phosphate molybdate complexes with highest 85 ± 1.32% TAC confirmed its antioxidant properties. Furthermore, molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that CTS-QT was embedded nicely within the active pocket of UPPS with binding energy greater than QT with RSMD value of below 1.5. Conclusively, use of maleic acid, in-vitro and in-silico antimicrobial studies confirm the emergence of CTS-QT complex containing microspheres as novel treatment strategy for all types of bacterial infections.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The diversified eating habits and religious culture of Indian population may be one of the reasons they largely contribute to the global diabetes burden. In the present investigation, an in-silico approach was carried out to explore hub genes in the Indian population with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) that are scantily reported in the GWAS catalogue and probable potential anti-diabetic drugs from plants. This computational approach unwrapped LEP (leptin) as the hub gene among 170 genes analyzed with 14 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) with MAF < 0.01. The mutation of the LEP gene leads to a decrease in leptin concentration, which increases the risk of obesity and T2DM. According to the DUET webserver, 11 of 14 mutations examined were found to destabilize the LEP protein. Among 14, four barely reported LEP variants rs781301976 (I45N), rs776443424 (S52F), rs200915360 (D76Y), and rs1191666811 (D162N) were unzipped to be associated with T2DM, which may be the probable potential drug targets. The virtual screening revealed Vescalagin as having the highest binding energy among 336 natural compounds. Molecular docking of Vescalagin depicted higher binding energy (-9.0 kcal/mol) against mutated LEP [rs200915360 (D76Y)] compared to wild (-8.9 kcal/mol) and LEP-Metformin complexes. The trajectory analysis of MD simulations revealed that Vescalagin was more effective than Metformin in stabilizing the system. The present study suggests that the associations of the investigated nsSNPs in LEP [rs200915360 (D76Y)] and others can be key factors in the predominant role of T2DM morbidity in the Indian population that can be used as potential markers and drug targets for T2DM therapeutics.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
In recent years, microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) have gained considerable interest in developing novel small-molecule anticancer drugs. MTAs demonstrate anticancer activity either as microtubule-stabilizing agents (paclitaxel) or microtubule-destabilizing agents (nocodazole). FDA-approved drugs containing a benzimidazole ring (nocodazole, albendazole, mebendazole, etc.) are well-known microtubule-destabilizing agents. Thus, most recent research on benzimidazole scaffold-based MTAs focuses on developing microtubule-destabilizing agents. However, there is no report on the benzimidazole scaffold-based microtubule-stabilizing agent. Here, we present the benzimidazole derivatives NI-11 and NI-18 that showed a profound anticancer activity as microtubule-stabilization agents. About twenty benzimidazole analogues were synthesized with excellent yield (80.0% ∼ 98.0%) and tested for their anticancer activity using two cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7) and one normal cell line (MRC-5). NI-11 showed IC50 values of 2.90, 7.17, and 16.9 µM in A549, MCF-7, and MRC-5 cell lines. NI-18 showed IC50 values of 2.33, 6.10, and 12.1 µM in A549, MCF-7, and MRC-5 cell lines. Thus, NI-11 and NI-18 demonstrated selectivity indexes of 5.81 and 5.20, respectively, which are much higher than the currently available anticancer agents. NI-11 and NI-18 inhibited the cancer cell motility and migration, induced the early phase apoptosis. Both of these comounds were found to show an upregulation of DeY-α-tubulin and downregulation of Ac-α-tubulin expressions in cancer cells. Eventhough the reported benzimidazole scaffold-based commercially available drugs are known to be microtubule-destabilizing agents, the analogues NI-11 and NI-18 were found to have microtubule-stabilizing activity. The in vitro tubulin polymerization assay and the immunofluorescence assay results indicate that the NI-11 and NI-18 exhibit anticancer activity by stabilizing the microtubule network.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062801. [PMID: 36985773 PMCID: PMC10051578 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
A series of multistep synthesis protocols was adopted to synthesize substituted imidazopyridines (IMPs) (SM-IMP-01 to SM-IMP-13, and DA-01-05). All substituted IMPs were then characterized using standard spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, elemental analyses, and mass spectrometry. Our both in vitro qualitative and quantitative results for antibacterial analysis, against Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 4352 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 suggested that all compounds essentially exhibited activity against selected strains of bacteria. Our DFT analyses suggested that the compounds of the SM-IMP-01-SM-IMP-13 series have HOMO/LUMO gaps within 4.43-4.69 eV, whereas the compounds of the DA-01-DA-05 series have smaller values of the HOMO/LUMO gaps, 3.24-4.17 eV. The lowest value of the global hardness and the highest value of the global softness, 2.215 and 0.226 eV, respectively, characterize the compound SM-IMP-02; thus, it is the most reactive compound in the imidazopyridine carboxamide series (except hydrazide series). This compound also depicted lesser MIC values against Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 4352 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 as 4.8 µg/mL, each. In terms of another series, hydrazide DA-05 depicted strong antimicrobial actions (MIC: 4.8 µg/mL against both bacterial strains) and also had the lowest energy gap (3.24 eV), higher softness (0.309 eV), and lesser hardness (1.62 eV). Overall, when we compare qualitative and quantitative antimicrobial results, it is been very clear that compounds with dibromo substitutions on imidazopyridine (IMP) rings would act as better antimicrobial agents than those with -H at the eighth position on the IMP ring. Furthermore, substituents of higher electronegativities would tend to enhance the biological activities of dibromo-IMP compounds. DFT properties were also well comparable to this trend and overall, we can say that the electronic behavior of compounds under investigation has key roles in their bioactivities.

Abstract
A series of novel hydrazone compounds have been synthesized by the condensation of hydrazines and different substituted salicylaldehydes at a molar ratio of 1:1 in one step reaction and characterized by FT-IR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR, and single crystal x-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the compound shows a trans configuration around the C = N bond and triclinic system with P -1/-p 1. Synthesized compounds were screened for cytotoxicity activities against A375 (melanoma), HT-29 (Colon), and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 2 exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against the A375 cell line (IC50 = 0.30 µM) and HT-29 cell line (1.68 µM), compared to those of apatinib as a reference standard drug (0.28, 1.49 µM, respectively). The cytocompatibility assay on the L929 normal cell line and the hemolysis assay on human RBC were used to validate the non-toxic action. From DFT calculation, the various parameters such as HOMO-LUMO energies, Hirshfeld, and MEP have been studied. Furthermore, in silico molecular docking with three receptors was studied. Among four compounds, compound 2 has the lowest binding energy against cyclin dependent kinase (ΔGb = -9.3 kcal/mol). In addition to this, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was also performed. Based on this study, these novel hydrazones can be considered a promising anticancer agent due to their potent cytotoxicity activities and computational analysis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In the search for new `sulfa drugs' with therapeutic properties, o-nitrosulfonamides and N-cycloamino-o-sulfanilamides were synthesized and characterized using techniques including 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). The calculated density functional theory (DFT)-optimized geometry of the molecules showed similar conformations to those obtained by SC-XRD. Molecular docking of N-piperidinyl-o-sulfanilamide and N-indolinyl-o-sulfanilamide supports the notion that o-sulfanilamides are able to bind to human carbonic anhydrase II and IX inhibitors (hCA II and IX; PDB entries 4iwz and 5fl4). Hirshfeld surface analyses and DFT studies of three o-nitrosulfonamides {1-[(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]pyrrolidine, C10H12N2O4S, 1, 1-[(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]piperidine, C11H14N2O4S, 2, and 1-[(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole, C14H12N2O4S, 3} and three N-cycloamino-o-sulfanilamides [2-(pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)aniline, C10H14N2O2S, 4, 2-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)aniline, C11H16N2O2S, 5, and 2-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-1-sulfonyl)aniline, C14H14N2O2S, 6] suggested that forces such as hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions hold molecules together and further showed that charge transfer could promote bioactivity and the ability to form biological interactions at the piperidinyl and phenyl moieties.

Abstract
A novel series of bis- (Abdelhamid et al., 2017, Banerjee et al., 2018, Bharanidharan et al., 2022)thiadiazoles was synthesized from the reaction of precursor dimethyl 2,2'-(1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diylidene)-bis(hydrazine-1-carbodithioate) and hydrazonyl chlorides in ethanol under ultrasonic irradiation. Spectral tools (IR. NMR, MS, elemental analyses, molecular dynamic simulation, DFT and LUMO and HOMO) were used to elucidate the structure of the isolated products. Molecular docking for the precursor, 3 and ligands 6a-i to two COVID-19 important proteins Mpro and RdRp was compared with two approved drugs, Remdesivir and Ivermectin. The binding affinity varied between the ligands and the drugs. The highest recorded binding affinity of 6c with Mpro was (-9.2 kcal/mol), followed by 6b and 6a, (-8.9 and -8.5 kcal/mol), respectively. The lowest recorded binding affinity was (-7.0 kcal/mol) for 6 g. In comparison, the approved drugs showed binding affinity (-7.4 and -7.7 kcal/mol), for Remdesivir and Ivermectin, respectively, which are within the range of the binding affinity of our ligands. The binding affinity of the approved drug Ivermectin against RdRp recoded the highest (-8.6 kcal/mol), followed by 6a, 6 h, and 6i are the same have (-8.2 kcal/mol). The lowest reading was found for compound 3 ligand (-6.3 kcal/mol). On the other side, the amino acids also differed between the compounds studied in this project for both the viral proteins. The ligand 6a forms three H-bonds with Thr 319(A), Sr 255(A) and Arg 457(A), whereas Ivermectin forms three H-bonds with His 41(A), Gly143(A) and Gln 18(A) for viral Mpro. The RdRp amino acids residues could be divided into four groups based on the amino acids that interact with hydrogen or hydrophobic interactions. The first group contained 6d, 6b, 6 g, and Remdesivir with 1-4 hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions 1 to 10. Group 2 is 6a and 6f exhibited 1 and 3 hydrogen bonds and 15 and 14 hydrophobic interactions. Group 3 has 6e and Ivermectin shows 4 and 3 hydrogen bonds, respectively and 11 hydrophobic interactions for both compounds. The last group contains ligands 3, 6c, 6 h, and 6i gave 1-3 hydrogen bonds and 6c and 3 recorded the highest number of hydrophobic interactions, 14 for both 6c and 6 h. Pro Tox-II estimated compounds' activities as Hepatoxic, Carcinogenic and Mutagenic, revealing that 6f-h were inactive in all five similar to that found with Remdesivir and Ivermectin. The drug-likeness prediction was carried out by studying physicochemical properties, lipophilicity, size, polarity, insolubility, unsaturation, and flexibility. Generally, some properties of the ligands were comparable to that of the standards used in this study, Remdesivir and Ivermectin.

Abstract
Background There is growing evidence to suggest that ginsenoside Rd (GRd) has a therapeutic effect on depression, but the specific mechanisms behind its activity require further study. Objective This study is designed to investigate the antidepressant-like effect and underlying mechanisms of GRd. Methods In this study, the behavioral despair mouse model of depression and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rat model of depression were established to explore the effects of GRd on depression-like behavior and its underlying mechanisms. Behavioral tests were used to evaluate the replication of animal models and depression-like behaviors. The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) blocker 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) was injected to determine the role of HIF-1α in the antidepressant-like effect of GRd. In addition, molecular biology techniques were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1ɑ signaling pathway and synaptic plasticity-related regulators, that is synapsin 1 (SYN 1) and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD 95). In silico binding interaction studies of GRd with focused target proteins were performed using molecular docking to predict the affinity and optimal binding mode between ligands and receptors. Results Our data show that GRd significantly reversed depression-like behavior and promoted mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1ɑ signaling pathway and synaptic plasticity-related regulators. However, the antidepressant-like effect of GRd disappeared upon inhibition of HIF-1α expression following administration of 2-ME. Furthermore, molecular docking results showed that GRd possessed significant binding affinity for HIF-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR-2. Conclusion Our results show that GRd exhibits significant antidepressant-like effect and that HIF-1α signaling pathway is a promising target for the treatment of depression.

Abstract
A series of thiazol-4-one/thiophene-bearing pyrazole derivatives as pharmacologically attractive cores were initially synthesized using a hybridization approach. All structures were confirmed using spectra analysis techniques (IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR). In vitro antimicrobial activities, including the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC), and time-kill assay, were evaluated for the most active derivatives 4a, 5a, 7b, 10, and 13. These derivatives were significantly active against the tested pathogens, with compound 7b as the most active derivative (MIC values range from 0.22 to 0.25 μg/mL). In the MBC and MFC, the active target pyrazole derivatives showed -cidal activities toward the pathogenic isolates. Further, the inhibition of biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was also carried out. Additionally, these derivatives displayed significant antibiofilm potential with a superior % reduction in the biofilm formation compared with Ciprofloxacin. The target derivatives behaved synergistically with Ciprofloxacin and Ketoconazole, reducing their MICs. Hemolytic results revealed that these derivatives were nontoxic with a significantly low hemolytic activity (%lysis range from 3.23 to 15.22%) compared with Triton X-100 and showed noncytotoxicity activity with IC50 values > 60 μM. In addition, these derivatives proved to be active DNA gyrase and DHFR inhibitors with IC50 ranging between 12.27-31.64 and 0.52-2.67 μM, respectively. Furthermore, compound 7b showed bactericidal activity at different concentrations in the time-kill assay. Moreover, a gamma radiation dose of 10.0 kGy was efficient for sterilizing compound 7b and enhancing its antimicrobial activity. Finally, molecular docking simulation of the most promising derivatives exhibited good binding energy with different interactions.

Abstract
One approach to overcome the antimicrobial resistance of many pathogens is to associate compounds with antimicrobial properties and obtain combinations superior compared to the effect of each compound. To identify a possible potentiating effect, we tested and analyzed the inhibitory effect of the combination of coumarin with two pyrazole derivatives, 1,1'-methandiylbis (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole (AM4) and 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) methanol 3,5-dimethyl-1-hydroxymethylpyrazol (SAM4). A clear synergistic effect was recorded when coumarin was associated with SAM4, in which case the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) had a value equal to 0.468 for Citrobacter freundii, Proteus mirabilis, and E. coli. In the other cases, however, both the association between coumarin and AM4 and coumarin SAM4 had only an additive effect (FICI = 0.937-1.00). The bactericidal effect of the coumarin-pyrazole combination over time was better in all cases compared to the effect of the compounds used separately. The viability of the bacterial cells at sub-inhibitory concentrations of the tested compounds was variable, depending on both the type of compound and the bacterial strain.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the antimicrobial effect of Deconex Surface, a common disinfectant, and Zataria multiflora essence on microbial load of Emergency ambulance equipment in Iran. The samples were selected from all the ambulances through convenience sampling. Before the intervention, the cultures were obtained from the contact surfaces and the surfaces were then disinfected with Deconex and Zataria multiflora. Then, repeated cultures were obtained from the same surfaces. Next, the samples were immediately sent to a microbiology lab. The obtained data were entered into SPSS 2016 and analyzed using statistical tests. Results showed that disinfecting effect of Zataria multiflora is better than Deconex in eliminating certain bacterial species such as Staphylococcus and Bacillus. So Zataria multiflora essence can be used as a surface and hospital equipment disinfectant along with other disinfectant compounds.

Computational and experimental insight into antituberculosis agent, ( E)-benzyl-2-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzylidene) hydrazinecarbodithioate: ADME analysis. Heliyon 2021; 7:e08209. [PMID: 34729438 PMCID: PMC8546424 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e08209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
A new Schiff base, (E)-benzyl-2-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbodithioate (compound 1) has been synthesized and experimentally characterized by the IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR and mass spectroscopies. The theoretical study of the synthesized compound was evaluated using the density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p) basis set. The electronic absorption spectrum of compound 1 was evaluated using time-dependent density functional theory. Besides, in silico studies were done for the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion profiles of compound 1. According to the result, the theoretical data were well fitted with the experimental values. The studied compound has low chemical reactivity and high kinetic stability. In the molecular electrostatic potential map, the negative and positive potential sites were found around electronegative atoms and hydrogen atoms of compound 1, respectively. The 97.75% Lewis and 2.25% non-Lewis structure were present in the studied molecule. The molecular docking results reveal that compound 1 can be used as antituberculosis agent as compare to ethambutol.

Abstract
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and favipiravir (FPV) are known to be effective antivirals, and there are reports about their use to fight the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) despite that these are not conclusive. The use of combined drugs is common in drug discovery, and thus, we investigated HCQ and FPV as a combined drug. The density functional theory method was used for the optimization of geometries, spectroscopic analysis and calculation of reactivity parameters. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules was applied to explain the nature of the hydrogen bonds and confirm the higher stability of the combined drug. We also evaluated the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) parameters to assess their drug actions jointly using SwissADME. The preliminary findings of our theoretical study are promising for further investigations of more potent and selective antiviral drugs.

Oxy-Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers from the Indonesian Marine Sponge, Lamellodysidea herbacea: X-ray, SAR, and Computational Studies. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26216328. [PMID: 34770740 PMCID: PMC8588277 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26216328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) compounds, derived from marine organisms, originate from symbiosis between marine sponges and cyanobacteria or bacteria. PBDEs have broad biological spectra; therefore, we analyzed structure and activity relationships of PBDEs to determine their potential as anticancer or antibacterial lead structures, through reactions and computational studies. Six known PBDEs (1–6) were isolated from the sponge, Lamellodysdiea herbacea; 13C NMR data for compound 6 are reported for the first time and their assignments are confirmed by their theoretical 13C NMR chemical shifts (RMSE < 4.0 ppm). Methylation and acetylation of 1 (2, 3, 4, 5-tetrabromo-6-(3′, 5′-dibromo-2′-hydroxyphenoxy) phenol) at the phenol functional group gave seven molecules (7–13), of which 10, 12, and 13 were new. New crystal structures for 8 and 9 are also reported. Debromination carried out on 1 produced nine compounds (1, 2, 14, 16–18, 20, 23, and 26) of which 18 was new. Debromination product 16 showed a significant IC50 8.65 ± 1.11; 8.11 ± 1.43 µM against human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells. Compounds 1 and 16 exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae with MID 0.078 µg/disk. The number of four bromine atoms and two phenol functional groups are important for antibacterial activity (S. aureus and K. pneumoniae) and cytotoxicity (HEK293T). The result was supported by analysis of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs). We also propose possible products of acetylation and debromination using analysis of FMOs and electrostatic charges and we confirm the experimental result.

Abstract
A key parameter in the design of new active compounds is lipophilicity, which influences the solubility and permeability through membranes. Lipophilicity affects the pharmacodynamic and toxicological profiles of compounds. These parameters can be determined experimentally or by using different calculation methods. The aim of the research was to determine the lipophilicity of betulin triazole derivatives with attached 1,4-quinone using thin layer chromatography in a reverse phase system and a computer program to calculate its theoretical model. The physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties were also determined by computer programs. For all obtained parameters, the similarity analysis and multilinear regression were determined. The analyses showed that there is a relationship between structure and properties under study. The molecular docking study showed that betulin triazole derivatives with attached 1,4-quinone could inhibit selected SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The MLR regression showed that there is a correlation between affinity scoring values (ΔG) and the physicochemical properties of the tested compounds.

Abstract
The current investigation presents the synthesis, computational molecular-docking and biological activity studies of arylated thiazole coumarins. Aryl substituted thiazolyl coumarin derivatives were synthesized via Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. A detailed reaction condition optimization revealed that the Pd-PEPPSI-IPent precatalyst in only 2 mol% loading resulted in the desired product with high yield. The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial behavior of thiazole coumarin derivatives through in vitro and in silico studies. All the compounds showed activity against both antibacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, except
5d
. Similarly, the compounds
5a
,
5b
, and
5d
were found to be active against Trichoderma harzianum. The compound
5d
of this series was found to have a higher activity with MIC 125 mg/ml against Trichoderma harzianum. Molecular studies showed the high activities of these compounds are due to the presence of strong H-bonding and π-π interaction with their respective targets. A good correlation was observed between computational and in vitro studies.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Favipiravir is found to show excellent in-vitro inhibition activity against Nipah virus. To explore the structure-property relationship of Favipiravir, in silico designing of a series of piperazine substituted Favipiravir derivatives are attempted and computational screening has been done to evaluate its bimolecular interactions with Nipah virus. The geometrical features of all the molecules have been addressed from Density Functional Theory calculations. Chemical reactivity descriptor analysis was carried out to understand various reactivity parameters. The drug-likeness properties were estimated by a detailed ADMET study. The binding ability and the mode of binding of these derivatives into the Nipah virus are obtained from molecular docking studies. Our calculations show greater binding ability for the designed inhibitors compared to that of the experimentally reported molecule. Overall, the present work proves to offers new insights and guidelines for synthetic chemists to develop new drugs using piperazine substituted Favipiravir in the treatment of Nipah virus.

Abstract
Background:
Entamoeba histolytica is the primary protozoan that causes amoebic dysentery
and is prioritized as the third most prevalent protozoan causing parasitosis. Drug of choice in
amoebic dysentery is metronidazole but it has unpleasant side effects with reports of development
of resistance in certain cases. Homalomena aromatica Schott. is a plant which is used in different
ethnomedicinal practices of South-east Asia to treat stomach ailments against intestinal parasites.
Objective:
the present study, a docking weighted network pharmacology-based approach was
employed to understand the effects of a library of 71 natural molecules reported from Homalomena
aromatica with reference to four proteins of Entamoeba histolytica namely thioredoxin reductase,
cysteine synthase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and ornithine decarboxylase.
Method:
Molecular docking of the phytoconstituents of H. aromatica was performed in Biovia
Discovery Studio 2017 R2 software suite on the selected proteins of E. histolytica. A connection
was established between the proteins and molecules through network pharmacology weighted docking
studies with the help of Cytoscape V3.4.0 software to select three molecules namely HM 7, HM
23 and HM 24 on the basis of the generated network between the molecules and targets. Quantum
mechanics based Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis was performed on the filtered molecules
to ascertain their viability with respect to LUMO-HOMO orbital energies of the filtered molecules.
Results:
On the basis of the docking studies of the natural molecules on the selected protein targets,
a network of molecules was built. DFT based minimum energy gap was analysed to further ascertain
the most potential inhbitors. Three molecules from H. aromatica; 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-
yl acetate, α -methyl-α-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-oriranemethanol, and 7-octadiene-2,6-diol-2,6-
dimethyl were predicted to be potential lead molecules against amoebiasis.
Conclusion:
The present study provides important evidence for the development of new drug molecules
to treat amoebiasis.

Narayanan J, Hernández JG, Aguilar CAH, Rodríguez MM, Cerda SDG. Glutamine chelation governs the selective inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi growth by cis-dichloro-bis(8-quinolinolato)zirconium(IV): Theory and experiment. Eur J Pharm Sci 2020; 151:105427. [PMID: 32544422 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2020.105427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Quinolone-based Schiff base zirconium(IV) complex was studied as potential bacterial inhibitor against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Salmonella typhi growth, showing that the interaction of the complex with L-glutamine which presents in the membrane of wall leads cell death, and the mode of bacterial interaction was analyzed theoretically by DFT. Furthermore, the interaction of different amino acid residues L-alanine, D-alanine, L-lysine and D-glutamine with the metal complex through UV-vis docking studies was conducted observing that D-glutamine interacts efficiently among other amino acid residues. This observation is consistent with the interaction of the metal complex that was effective when participating in an insight of the peptidoglycan cell wall since the binding nature of glutamine potentially inhibits these microorganisms.
