    Abstract In the current work, computational methods were used to investigate new isoxazole derivatives that could be used as tubulin inhibitors. The study aims to develop a reliable quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model, following the criteria set by Golbraikh, Tropsha, and Roy. As a result, seven candidate compounds were developed, all having higher activity than the well-established anticancer agent Cisplatin (Cisp). According to the ADMETox

    Abstract Context: The regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between azomethine ylides and acrolein were investigated. The DFT studies revealed that the favored pathway leads to the formation of cis-cycloadduct pyrrolidine and these computational findings align with experimental observations. The cis-cycloadduct pyrrolidine product serves as an advanced intermediate in the synthesis of a hepatitis C virus inhibitor. For this, the antiviral activity of cis-cycloadduct pyrrolidine against cyclophilin A, the co-factor responsible for hepatitis C virus, was also evaluated through molecular docking simulations which revealed intriguing interactions and a high C-score, which were further confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating stability over a 100-ns simulation period. Furthermore, the cis-cycloadduct pyrrolidine exhibits favorable drug-like properties and a better ADMET profile compared to hepatitis C virus inhibitor.
    Methods: Chemical reactivity studies were performed using DFT method by the functional B3LYP at 6-31G (d, p) computational level by GAUSSIAN 16 program. Frontal molecular orbitals theory used to investigate HOMO/LUMO interactions between azomethine ylides and acrolein. Findings of this approach were confirmed by global reactivity indices and electron displacement was investigated based on Fukui functions. Furthermore, the activation energies were determined after frequency calculations using TS Berny algorithm and transition states were confirmed by the presence of a single imaginary frequency. Moreover, antiviral activity of cis-cycloadduct was explored through molecular docking using Surflex-Dock suite SYBYL X 2.0, and molecular dynamics simulation using GROMACS program. Finally, drug-like properties were investigated with SwissADME and ADMETlab 2.0.

    Abstract Pancreatic cancer, known as the "silent killer," poses a daunting challenge in cancer therapy. The dysregulation of the PI3Kα signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer has attracted considerable interest as a promising target for therapeutic intervention. In this regard, the use of curcumin derivatives as inhibitors of PI3Kα has emerged, providing a novel and promising avenue for developing effective treatments for this devastating disease. Computational approaches were employed to explore this potential and investigate 58 curcumin derivatives with cytotoxic activity against the Panc-1 cell line. Our approach involved ligand-based pharmacophore modeling and atom-based 3D-QSAR analysis. The resulting QSAR model derived from the best-fitted pharmacophore hypothesis (AAHRR_1) demonstrated remarkable performance with high correlation coefficients (R

    Abstract SARS-COV-2 virus causes (COVID-19) disease; it has become a global pandemic since 2019 and has negatively affected all aspects of human life. Scientists have made great efforts to find a reliable cure, vaccine, or treatment for this emerging disease. Efforts have been directed towards using medicinal plants as alternative medicines, as the active chemical compounds in them have been discovered as potential antiviral or anti-inflammatory agents. In this research, the potential of Saussurea costus (S. Costus) or QUST Al Hindi chemical consistent as potential antiviral agents was investigated by using computational methods such as Reverse Docking, ADMET, and Molecular Dynamics with different proteases COVID-19 such as PDB: 2GZ9; 6LU7; 7AOL, 6Y2E, 6Y84. The results of Reverse Docking the complex between 6LU7 proteases and Cynaropicrin compound being the best complex, as the same result, is achieved by molecular dynamics. Also, the toxicity testing result from ADMET method proved that the complex is the least toxic and the safest possible drug. In addition, 6LU7-Cynaropicrin complex obeyed Lipinski rule; it formed ≤5 H-bond donors and ≤10 H bond acceptors, MW < 500 Daltons, and octanol/water partition coefficient <5.

    Abstract It is challenging to model the toxicity of nitroaromatic compounds due to limited experimental data. Nitrobenzene derivatives are commonly used in industry and can lead to environmental contamination. Extensive research, including several QSPR studies, has been conducted to understand their toxicity. Predictive QSPR models can help improve chemical safety, but their limitations must be considered, and the molecular factors affecting toxicity should be carefully investigated. The latest QSPR methods, molecular modeling techniques, machine learning algorithms, and computational chemistry tools are essential for developing accurate and robust models. In this work, we used these methods to study a series of fifty compounds derived from nitrobenzene. The Monte Carlo approach was used for QSPR modeling by applying the SMILES molecular structure representation and optimal molecular descriptors. The correlation ideality index (CII) and correlation contradiction index (CCI) were further introduced as validation parameters to estimate the developed models' predictive ability. The statistical quality of the CII models was better than those without CII. The best QSPR model with the following statistical parameters (Split-3): (R

    Abstract Cancer is the uncontrolled spread of abnormal cells that results in abnormal tissue growth in the affected organ. One of the most important organs is exposed to the growth of colon cancer cells, which start in the large intestine (colon) or the rectum. Several therapeutic protocols were used to treat different kinds of cancer. Recently, several studies have targeted tubulin and microtubules due to their remarkable prefoliation. Also, recent research shows that quinoline compounds have significant efficacy against human colorectal cancer. So, the present work investigated the potential of thirty quinoline compounds as tubulin inhibitors using computational methods. A 3D-QSAR approach using two contours (CoMFA and CoMSIA), molecular docking simulation to determine the binding type of the complexes (ligand-receptor), molecular dynamics simulation and identifying pharmacokinetic characteristics were used to design molecules. For all compounds designed (T1-5), molecular docking was used to compare the stability by type of binding. The ADMET has been utilized for molecules with good stability in molecular docking (T1-3); these compounds have good medicinal characteristics. Furthermore, a molecular dynamics simulation (MD) at 100 ns was performed to confirm the stability of the T1-3 compounds; the molecules (T1-3) remained the most stable throughout the simulation. The compounds T1, T2 and T3 are the best-designed drugs for colorectal carcinoma treatments.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Global energy consumption has increased due to population growth and economic development. Solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources for human consumption. In this research, four novel organic dyes (D2-D5) of the D-A-π-A structure based on triphenylamine (TPA) were studied theoretically using DFT and TD-DFT techniques for future usage as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effects of modifying the π-spacer of the reference molecule D1 on the structural, electronic, photovoltaic, and optical characteristics of the D2-D5 dyes were studied in detail. D2-D5 exhibited band gaps (
