An efficient synthesis, characterization, DFT study and molecular docking of novel sulfonylcycloureas

Anticancer activity, DFT study, ADMET prediction, and molecular docking of novel α-sulfamidophosphonates

A series of novel α-sulfamidophosphonate derivatives (3a-3 g) were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity against different human cancer cell lines (PRI, K562, and JURKAT). The antitumor activity of all compounds using the MTT test remains moderate compared to the standard drug chlorambucil. Compounds 3c and 3 g were found to be more active anticancer agent against PRI and K562 cells with IC50 value 0.056-0.097 and 0.182-0.133 mM, respectively. Molecular docking study related to binding affinity and binding mode analysis showed that synthesized compounds had potential to inhibit glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII). Furthermore, computational analysis was performed through Density Functional Theory (DFT) utilizing the B3LYP 6-31 G (d, p) basis set and the theoretical results were correlated with experimental data. The ADME/toxicity analyses carried out by Swiss ADME and OSIRIS software show that all synthesized molecules exhibited good pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and had no toxicity profile.

Novel N-acylsulfonamides: Synthesis, in silico prediction, molecular docking dynamic simulation, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities

Microbial resistance to drugs currently traded in the market is a serious problem in modern medicine. In this field of research, we synthesized a novel N-acylsulfonamides (NAS) derivatives starting from commercially available compounds; morpholine, isocyanate of chlorosulfonyl and alcohols. The in vitro antimicrobial potential of synthesized compounds was screened against 04 Gram-negative bacteria; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, 02 Gram-positive bacteria: Streptococcus sp, Staphylococcus aureus and 07 yeasts and fungi: Candida albicans, Candida spp, Penicillum spp, Aspegillus sp, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium sp, and Cladosporium spp. The results of inhibition growth were compared with standard antimicrobial drugs with the goal of exploring their potential antimicrobial activity. In addition, the anti-inflammatory activity of the synthesized compounds was determined in-vitro by protein denaturation method. The obtained bioactivity results were further validated by in silico DFT (Density Functional Theory), ADME (Absorption-Distribution-Métabolisation-Excrétion), molecular docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Efficient synthesis and antitumor activity of novel oxazaphosphinane derivatives: X-ray crystallography, DFT study and molecular docking

A novel potentially biologically active oxazaphosphinane derivatives was synthesized by facile synthetic approaches from the combination of hydroxyaniline, aldehyde, and triethylphosphite. The crystal structure of compound 1b has been determined. Single crystals belong to the triclinic system with p - 1 space. The relative in vitro antitumor activity against human cell lines (PRI, K562, and JURKAT) of these derivatives in comparison to chlorombucil is reported. All synthesized compound showed excellent activity with IC50 value of 0.014-0.035 mM. The binding energy of the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-oxazaphosphinane complex and the calculated inhibition constant using docking simulation showed that all molecules has the ability to inhibit EGFR therapeutic target. In addition, DFT calculation has been used to analyze the electronic and geometric characteristics.
