Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system. Current drugs for AD have limited effectiveness and often come with side effects. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop new, safe, and more effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. In this work, two novel benzil-hydrazone compounds, abbreviated 2-ClMHB and 2-ClBHB, were synthesized for the first time by refluxing the benzil with 2-Chloro phenyl hydrazine and they have been tested for their in vitro anti-cholinesterase activities and in silico acetyl and butyryl enzymes inhibition. The resulting products were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy, while the single-crystal X-ray diffraction investigation was successful in establishing the structures of these compounds. DFT calculations have been successfully made to correlate the experimental data. According to biological studies, the synthesized hydrazones significantly inhibited both butyrylcholinesterase (2-ClMHB: 20.95 ± 1.29 µM and 2-ClBHB: 31.21 ± 1.50 µM) and acetylcholinesterase (2-ClMHB: 21.80 ± 1.10 µM and 2-ClBHB: 10.38 ± 1.27 µM). Moreover, molecular docking was also employed to locate the molecule with the optimum interaction and stability as well as to explain the experimental findings. The compound's dynamic nature, binding interaction, and protein-ligand stability were investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Analyzing parameters such as RMSD and RMSF indicated that the compound remained stable throughout the 100 ns MD simulation. Finally, the drugs displayed high oral bioavailability, as per projected ADME and pharmacokinetic parameters.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the diseases affecting a large population worldwide and resulting in death. Finding new anti-cancer drugs that are target-focused and have low toxicity is of great importance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of vic-dioxime derivatives carrying hydrazone group and its Zn(II) complex on cancer using molecular docking, bioactivity and quantum chemical calculations. METHODS Molecular docking studies were performed on epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 target proteins. Furthermore, molecular geometry was performed, and the frontier molecular orbitals, Mulliken charges and molecular electron density distribution were evaluated using density functional theory. Also, the bioactivity parameters of the compounds were evaluated, and ADME analysis was performed using web-based tools. RESULTS Higher binding affinity was observed for Zn(II) complex with target proteins vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and against epidermal growth factor receptor when compared with LH2. Only the Zn(II) complex against the epidermal growth factor receptor had ligand efficiency and fit quality in the valid range. Furthermore, LH2 has the most potent electrophilic ability (acceptor) among other compounds. Moreover, both LH2 and Zn(II) complexes strongly satisfy Lipinski's rule of five. CONCLUSION In conclusion, these novel compounds, especially Zn(II) complex, can be new candidates for anticancer drug development studies which are target-focused and have low toxicity.

Abstract
Hydrazone-hydrazide-based linkers perform a crucial role in environmental as well as biological fields. Such linkers are employed to detect exact metal ions at a minute level; hence, numerous probes are available. Even though thiophene-based molecules have a unique position in the medicinal arena, only very few chemosensors are reported based on such a moiety. In this current work, a novel hydrazide-hydrazone-based fluorogenic molecule 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-N'-[(1E)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethylidene]benzohydrazide (L) has been successfully designed and synthesized. The sensing studies of L demonstrated a ratio metric as well as turn-on-enhanced fluorescence and colorimetric response toward Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions, respectively and it was observed to be insensitive toward various metal ions. The Job plots revealed that the binding stoichiometry of L and metal ions is 2 : 1. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) results strongly suggested that L can be used as a powerful colorimetric sensor for the detection of Cu2+ ions. In vitro antimicrobial activities of L were evaluated by disk diffusion and results revealed good antibacterial activities against E. coli. Further, molecular docking was executed with DNA gyrase (PDB ID: 1KZN) of E. coli and the calculated interaction energy value was found to be -7.7 kcal mol-1. Finally, molecular docking, fluorescence, colorimetry and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the compound can provide new insights into developing drugs and detecting metals in biomolecules.

Triazole based Schiff bases and their Oxovanadium(IV) complexes: Synthesis, characterization, antibacterial assay, and computational assessments. Heliyon 2023; 9:e15239. [PMID: 37089299 PMCID: PMC10119765 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of two new Schiff base ligands containing 1,2,4-triazole moieties and their oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been reported. The ligands and their complexes were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), conductivity measurement, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and elemental analyses. The molar conductance of oxovanadium(IV) complexes were found to be relatively low, depicting their non-electrolytic nature. The XRD patterns reveal the size of particles to be 47.53 nm and 26.28 nm for the two complexes in the monoclinic crystal system. The molecular structures, geometrical parameters, chemical reactivity, stability, and frontier molecular orbital pictures were determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The theoretical vibrational frequencies and EPR g-factors (1.98) were found to correlate well with the experimental values. A distorted square pyramidal geometry with C2 symmetry of the complexes has been proposed from experimental and theoretical results in a synergistic manner. The antimicrobial sensitivity of the ligands and their metal complexes assayed in vitro against four bacterial pathogens viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella Typhi showed that the oxovanadium(IV) complexes are slightly stronger antibacterial agents than their corresponding Schiff base precursors. The binding affinities obtained from the molecular docking calculations with the receptor proteins of bacterial strains (2EUG, 3UWZ, 4GVF, and 4JVD) showed that the Schiff bases and their oxovanadium(IV) complexes have considerable capacity inferring activeness for effective inhibition. The molecular dynamics simulation of a protein-ligand (4JVD-HL2) complex with the best binding affinity of -12.8 kcal/mol for 100 ns showed acceptable stability of the docked pose and binding free energy of -15.17 ± 2.29 kcal/mol from molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) calculations indicated spontaneity of the reaction. The outcome of the research shows the complementary role of computational methods in material characterization and provides an interesting avenue to pursue for exploring new triazole based Schiff's bases and its vanadium compounds for better properties.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been successfully prepared using Cocos nucifera leaf extract and their antimicrobial, antioxidant and photocatalytic activity investigated. The structural, compositional and morphological properties of the NPs were recorded and studied systematically to confirm the synthesis. The aqueous suspension of NPs showed an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption maxima of 370 nm, indicating primarily its formation. X-ray diffraction analysis identified the NPs with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and an average particle size of 16.6 nm. Fourier transform infrared analysis identified some biomolecules and functional groups in the leaf extract as responsible for the encapsulation and stabilization of ZnO NPs. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed the desired elemental compositions in the material. A flower-shaped morphology of ZnO NPs was observed by scanning electron microscopy, with a grain size of around 15 nm. The optical properties of the NPs were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the band gap was calculated as 3.37 eV. The prepared ZnO NPs have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against T. harzianum and S. aureus, with a zone of inhibition of 14 and 10 mm, respectively. The photocatalytic behaviour of ZnO NPs showed absorbance degradation at around 640 nm and it discoloured methylene blue dye after 1 h, with a degradation maximum of 84.29%. Thus, the prepared ZnO NPs could potentially be used in antibiotic development and pharmaceutical industries, and as photocatalysts.

Investigation of Major Flavonoids from Artemisia argyi as a Potential COVID-19 Drug: Molecular Docking and DFT Calculations. CRYSTALS 2022.

Abstract
Flavonoids from natural products are well-identified as potential antiviral agents in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and related diseases. However, some major species of flavonoids from Chinese traditional folk medicine, such as of Artemisia argyi (A. argyi), have not been evaluated yet. Here, we choose five major flavonoids obtained from A. argyi, namely, Jaceosidin (1), Eupatilin (2), Apigenin (3), Eupafolin (4), and 5,6-Dihydroxy-7,3′,4′-trimethoxyflavone (5), compared to the well-studied Baicalein (6), as potential inhibitors analogs for COVID-19 by computational modeling strategies. The frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), chemical reactivity descriptors, and electrostatic surface potential (ESP) were performed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Additionally, these flavonoids were docked on the main protease (PDB: 6LU7) of SARS-CoV-2 to evaluate the binding affinities. Computational analysis predicted that all of these compounds show a high affinity and might serve as potential inhibitors to SARS-CoV-2, among which compound (5) exhibits the least binding energy (−155.226 kcal/mol). The high binding affinity could be enhanced by increasing the electron repulsion due to the valence shell electron pair repulsion model (VSEPR). Consequently, the major flavonoids in Artemisia argyi have a significant ability to reduce the deterioration of COVID-19 in the terms of DFT calculations and molecular docking.
