    Abstract Previous studies have shown that 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives have a strong anti-diabetic effect. To further explore this potential, we develop new analogues of the compound using ligand-based drug design and tested their inhibitory and binding properties through QSAR analyses, molecular docking, dynamic simulations and pharmacokinetic studies. By using quantitative structure activity relationship and ligand-based modification, a highly precise predictive model and design of potent compounds was developed from the derivatives of 2-arylbenzimidazoles. Molecular docking and simulation studies were then conducted to identify the optimal binding poses and pharmacokinetic profiles of the newly generated therapeutic drugs. DFT was employed to optimize the chemical structures of 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives using B3LYP/6-31G* as the basis set. The model with the highest R

    Abstract Objectives: Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, is a leading cause of mortality in affected geographic areas. Currently, because no vaccine for schistosomiasis is available, control measures rely on widespread administration of the drug praziquantel (PZQ). The mass administration of PZQ has prompted concerns regarding the emergence of drug resistance. Therefore, new therapeutic targets and potential compounds are necessary to combat schistosomiasis.
    Methods: Twenty-four potent derivatives of PZQ were optimized via density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G∗ level. Quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) models were generated and statistically validated, and a lead candidate was selected to develop therapeutic options with improved efficacy against schistosomiasis. The biological and binding energies of the designed compounds were evaluated. In addition, molecular dynamics; drug-likeness; absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET); and DFT studies were performed on the newly designed compounds.
    Results: Five QSAR models were generated, among which model 1 had favorable validation parameters (R
    Conclusion: The proposed compounds exhibited potential drug characteristics, thus indicating their suitability for further investigation to enhance schistosomiasis treatment options.

    Abstract In growing plant population, effect of stress is a perturb issue affecting its physiological, biochemical, yield loss and developmental growth. Protein-L-isoaspartate-O-methyltransferase (PIMT) is a broadly distributed protein repair enzyme which actuate under stressful environment or aging. Stress can mediate damage converting protein bound aspartate (Asp) residues to isoaspartate (iso-Asp). This spontaneous and deleterious conversion occurs at an elevated state of stress and aging. Iso-Asp formation is associated with protein inactivation and compromised cellular survival. PIMT can convert iso-Asp back to Asp, thus repairing and contributing to cellular survival. The present work describes the isolation, cloning, sequencing and expression of PIMT genes of

    Abstract Coronavirus belongs to the coronaviridae family, having a single-stranded RNA as genetic material of 26-42 kb in size. The first coronavirus infection emerged in 2002, caused by SARS-CoV1. Since then, genome sequences and three-dimensional structures of crucial proteins and enzymes of the virus have been studied in detail. The novel coronavirus (nCoV) outbreak has caused the COVID19 pandemic, which is responsible for the deaths of millions of people worldwide. The nCoV was later renamed as SARS-CoV2. The details of most of the COV proteins are available at the atomic and molecular levels. The entire genome is made up of 12 open reading frames that code for 27 different proteins. The spike surface glycoprotein, the envelope protein, the nucleocapsid protein, and the membrane protein are the four structural proteins which are required for virus attachment, entrance, assembly, and pathogenicity. The remaining proteins encoded are called non-structural (NSPs) and support the survival of the virus. Several non-structural proteins are also validated targets for drug development against coronavirus and are being used for drug design purposes. To perform a comparative study, sequences and three-dimensional structures of four crucial viral enzymes, Mpro, PLpro, RdRp, and EndoU from SARS-CoV1 and SARS-CoV2 variants were analyzed. The key structural elements and ligands recognizing amino acid residues were found to be similar in enzymes from both strains. The significant sequences and structural resemblance also suggest that a drug developed either for SARS-CoV1 or SARS-CoV2 using these enzymes may also have the potential to cross-react.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Coumarins are a highly privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry. It is present in many natural products and is reported to display various pharmacological properties. A large plethora of compounds based on the coumarin ring system have been synthesized and were found to possess biological activities such as anticonvulsant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant as well as neuroprotective properties. Despite the wide activity spectrum of coumarins, its naturally occurring derivatives are yet to be investigated in detail. In the current study, a chemical library was created to assemble all chemical information related to naturally occurring coumarins from the literature. Additionally, a multi-stage virtual screening combining QSAR modeling, molecular docking, and ADMET prediction was conducted against monoamine oxidase B and acetylcholinesterase, two relevant targets known for their neuroprotective properties and 'disease-modifying' potential in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Our findings revealed ten coumarin derivatives that may act as dual-target drugs against MAO-B and AChE. Two coumarin candidates were selected from the molecular docking study: CDB0738 and CDB0046 displayed favorable interactions for both proteins as well as suitable ADMET profiles. The stability of the selected coumarins was assessed through 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations which revealed promising stability through key molecular interactions for CDB0738 to act as dual inhibitor of MAO-B and AChE. However, experimental studies are necessary to evaluate the bioactivity of the proposed candidate. The current results may generate an increasing interest in bioprospecting naturally occurring coumarins as potential candidates against relevant macromolecular targets by encouraging virtual screening studies against our chemical library.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
