Abstract
Overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) possesses a correlation with leukemia especially chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, no such MMP-2 inhibitor has come out in the market to date for treating leukemia. In this study, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular modeling studies of a set of biphenylsulfonamide derivatives as promising MMP-2 inhibitors were performed, focusing on their potential applications as antileukemic therapeutics. Compounds DH-18 and DH-19 exerted the most effective MMP-2 inhibition (IC50 of 139.45 nM and 115.16 nM, respectively) with potent antileukemic efficacy against the CML cell line K562 (IC50 of 0.338 µM and 0.398 µM, respectively). The lead molecules DH-18 and DH-19 reduced the MMP-2 expression by 21.3% and 17.8%, respectively with effective apoptotic induction (45.4% and 39.8%, respectively) in the K562 cell line. Moreover, both these compounds significantly arrested different phases of the cell cycle. Again, both these molecules depicted promising antiangiogenic efficacy in the ACHN cell line. Nevertheless, the molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies revealed that DH-18 formed strong bidentate chelation with the catalytic Zn2+ ion through the hydroxamate zinc binding group (ZBG). Apart from that, the MD simulation study also disclosed stable binding interactions of DH-18 and MMP-2 along with crucial interactions with active site amino acid residues namely His120, Glu121, His124, His130, Pro140, and Tyr142. In a nutshell, this study highlighted the importance of biphenylsulfonamide-based novel and promising MMP-2 inhibitors to open up a new avenue for potential therapy against CML.

Abstract
Among various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-12 is one of the potential targets for cancer and other diseases. However, none of the MMP-12 inhibitors has passed the clinical trials to date. Therefore, designing potential MMP-12 inhibitors as new drug molecules can provide effective therapeutic strategies for several diseases. In this study, a series of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene derivatives were subjected to different 2D and 3D-QSAR techniques to point out the crucial structural contributions highly influential toward the MMP-12 inhibitory activity. These techniques identified some structural attributes of these compounds that are responsible for influencing their MMP-12 inhibition. The carboxylic group may enhance proper binding with catalytic Zn2+ ion at the MMP-12 active site. Again, the i-propyl sulfonamido carboxylic acid function contributed positively toward MMP-12 inhibition. Moreover, the dibenzofuran moiety conferred stable binding at the S1' pocket for higher MMP-12 inhibition. The steric and hydrophobic groups were found favourable near the furan ring substituted at the dibenzofuran moiety. Besides these ligand-based approaches, molecular docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation studies not only elucidated the importance of several aspects of these MMP-12 inhibitors while disclosing the significance of the finding of these QSAR studies and their influences toward MMP-12 inhibition. The MD simulation study also revealed stable and compact binding between such compounds at the MMP-12 active site. Therefore, the findings of these validated ligand-based and structure-based molecular modeling studies can aid the development of selective and potent lead molecules that can be used for the treatment of MMP-12-associated diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
MMP-2 is potentially contributing to several cancer progressions including leukaemias. Therefore, considering MMP-2 as a promising target, novel anticancer compounds may be designed. Here, 32 in-house arylsulfonyl L-(+) glutamines were subjected to various structure-based computational modelling approaches to recognize crucial structural attributes along with the spatial orientation for higher MMP-2 inhibition. Again, the docking-based 2D-QSAR study revealed that the Coulomb energy conferred by Tyr142 and total interaction energy conferred by Ala84 was crucial for MMP-2 inhibition. Importantly, the docking-dependent CoMFA and CoMSIA study revealed the importance of favourable steric, electrostatic, and hydrophobic substituents at the terminal phenyl ring. The MD simulation study revealed a lower fluctuation in the RMSD, RMSF, and Rg values indicating stable binding interactions of MMP-2 and these molecules. Moreover, the residual hydrogen bond and their interaction analysis disclosed crucial amino acid residues responsible for forming potential hydrogen bonding for higher MMP-2 inhibition. The results can effectively aid in the design and discovery of promising small-molecule drug-like MMP-2 inhibitors with greater anticancer potential in the future.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a verified biomolecular target associated with diverse diseases including cancer. Though several HDAC inhibitors emerged effective against such diseases, no selective HDAC8 inhibitor is approved to date. Therefore, the development of potent HDAC8-selective inhibitors is inevitable to combat such diseases. Here, some benzothiazine-derived HDAC8 inhibitors were considered for a comparative QSAR analysis which may elucidate the prime structural components responsible for modulating their efficacy. Several outcomes from these diverse modelling techniques justified one another and thus validated each other. The ligand-based pharmacophore modelling study identified ring aromatic, positive ionizable, and hydrophobic features as essential structural attributes for HDAC8 inhibition. Besides, MLR, HQSAR and field-based 3D-QSAR studies signified the utility of the positive ionizable and hydrophobic features for potent HDAC8 inhibition. Again, the field-based 3D-QSAR study provided useful insight regarding the substitution in the fused phenyl ring. Moreover, the current observations also validated the previously reported molecular docking observations. Based on the outcomes, some new molecules were designed and predicted. Therefore, this comparative structural analysis of these HDAC8 inhibitors will surely assist in the development of potent HDAC8 inhibitors as promising anticancer therapeutics in the future.

Abstract
Alteration and abnormal epigenetic mechanisms can lead to the aberration of normal biological functions and the occurrence of several diseases. The histone deacetylase (HDAC) family of enzymes is one of the prime regulators of epigenetic functions modifying the histone proteins, and thus, regulating epigenetics directly. HDAC1 is one of those HDACs which have important contributions to cellular epigenetics. The abnormality of HDAC is correlated to the occurrence, progression, and poor prognosis in several disease conditions namely neurodegenerative disorders, cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance, and survival in various cancers. Therefore, the progress of potent and effective HDAC1 inhibitors is one of the prime approaches to combat such diseases. In this study, both regression and classification-based molecular modelling studies were conducted on some AR-42 derivatives as HDAC1 inhibitors to elucidate the crucial structural aspects that are responsible for regulating their biological responses. This study revealed that the molecular polarizability, van der Waals volume, the presence of aromatic rings as well as the higher number of hydrogen bond acceptors might affect prominently their inhibitory activity and might be responsible for proper fitting and interactions at the HDAC1 active site to pertain effective inhibition.

Abstract
Among various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMPs having medium-size S1' pockets are established as promising biomolecular targets for executing crucial roles in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, no such MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) are available to date as drug candidates despite a lot of continuous research work for more than three decades. Due to a high degree of structural resemblance among these MMPs, designing selective MMPIs is quite challenging. However, the variability and uniqueness of the S1' pockets of these MMPs make them promising targets for designing selective MMPIs. In this perspective, the overall structural aspects of medium-size S1' pocket MMPs including the unique binding patterns of enzyme-inhibitor interactions have been discussed in detail to acquire knowledge regarding selective inhibitor designing. This overall knowledge will surely be a curtain raiser for the designing of selective MMPIs as drug candidates in the future.

Abstract
Gelatinases [gelatinase A - matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), gelatinase B - matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)] play key roles in many disease conditions including cancer. Despite some research work on gelatinases inhibitors both jointly and individually had been reported, challenges still exist in achieving potency as well as selectivity. Here in part I of a series of work, we have reported the structural requirement of some arylsulfonamides. In particular, regression-based 2D-QSARs, topomer CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and Bayesian classification models were constructed to refine structural features for attaining better gelatinase inhibitory activity. The 2D-QSAR models exhibited good statistical significance. The descriptors nsssN, SHBint6, SHBint7, PubchemFP629 were directly correlated with the MMP-2 binding affinities whereas nsssN, SHBint10 and AATS2i were directly proportional to MMP-9 binding affinities. The topomer CoMFA results indicated that the steric and electrostatic fields play key roles in gelatinase inhibition. The established Naïve Bayes prediction models were evaluated by fivefold cross validation and an external test set. Furthermore, important molecular descriptors related to MMP-2 and MMP-9 binding affinities and some active/inactive fragments were identified. Thus, these observations may be helpful for further work of aryl sulphonamide based gelatinase inhibitors in future.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a potential target in anticancer drug discovery due to its association with angiogenesis, metastasis and tumour progression. In this study, 67 glutamic acid derivatives, synthesized and evaluated as MMP-2 inhibitors, were taken into account for multi-QSAR modelling study (regression-based 2D-QSAR, classification-based LDA-QSAR, Bayesian classification QSAR, HQSAR, 3D-QSAR CoMFA and CoMSIA as well as Open3DQSAR). All these QSAR studies were statistically validated individually. Regarding the 3D-QSAR analysis, the Open3DQSAR results were better than CoMFA and CoMSIA, although all these 3D-QSAR models supported each other. The importance of biphenylsulphonyl moiety over phenylacetyl/naphthylacetyl moieties was established due to its association with favourable steric and hydrophobic characters. HQSAR, LDA-QSAR and Bayesian classification QSAR studies also suggested that the biphenylsulphonamido group was better than the phenylacetylcarboxamido function. Additionally, glutamines were proven to be far better inhibitors than isoglutamines. Observations obtained from the current study were revalidated and supported by the earlier reported molecular modelling studies. Depending on these observations, newer glutamic acid-based compounds may be designed further in future for potent MMP-2 inhibitory activity.
