    Abstract Huperzine A (HUP) plays a crucial role in Alzheimer's therapy by enhancing cognitive function through increased cholinergic activity as a reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Despite some limitations being seen in AChE inhibitors, ongoing research remains dedicated to finding innovative and more effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. To achieve the goal of the discovery of potential HUP analogues with improved physicochemical properties, less toxic properties, and high biological activity, many in silico methods were applied. Based on the acetylcholinesterase-ligand complex, an e-pharmacophore model was developed. Subsequently, a virtual screening involving a collection of 1762 natural compounds, sourced from the PubChem database, was performed. This screening yielded 131 compounds that exhibited compatibility with the established pharmacophoric hypothesis. These selected ligands were then subjected to molecular docking within the active site of the 4EY5 receptor. As a result, we identified four compounds that displayed remarkable docking scores and exhibited low free binding energy to the target. These top four compounds, CID_162895946, CID_44461278, CID_44285285, and CID_81108419, were submitted to ADMET prediction and molecular dynamic simulations, yielding encouraging findings in terms of their pharmacokinetic characteristics and stability. Finally, the molecular dynamic simulation, cross-dynamic correlation matrix, free energy landscape, and MM-PBSA calculations demonstrated that two ligands from the selected ligands formed very resilient complexes with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, with significant binding affinity. Therefore, these two compounds are recommended for further experimental research as possible (AChE) inhibitors.

    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 Butyrylcholinesterase is an acetylcholine-degrading enzyme involved in the memorization process, which is becoming an interesting target for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In the present investigation, the structure–activity relationship of a set of Liquiritigenin derivatives recently revealed to be Butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors was studied basing on comparative field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMISA). As a result, performant models with high predictive capability have been developed (CoMFA model: R² = 0.91, Q² = 0.62, R²ₚᵣₑd = 0.85; CoMISA model: R² = 0.92, Q² = 0.59, R²ₚᵣₑd = 0.83) and implemented to design new Liquiritigenin derivatives with improved activity. Besides, the affinity of the designed derivatives towards the active site of Butyrylcholinesterase, was confirmed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies. Moreover, they exhibited good pharmacokinetics properties. Accordingly, the outcomes of the present investigations can provide important direction for the development of new anti-Alzheimer's drug candidates.

    Abstract The discovery of antibacterials is considered one of the greatest medical achievements of all time. In this work, a combination of three computational analyzes: 3D-QSAR, molecular docking and ADME evaluation were applied in thienopyrimidine derivatives intended toward gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The validity of 3D-QSAR model was tested with a set of data which is divided into a training and a test set. The two models constructed (CoMFA and CoMSIA) show good statistical reliability (q2 = 0.758; r2 = 0.96; r2pred = 0.783) and (q2 = 0.744; r2 = 0.97; r2pred = 0.625) respectively. In addition, docking methods were applied to understand the structural features responsible for the affinity of the ligands in the binding of S. aureus DNA gyrase. Drug likeness and ADME analysis applied in this series of new proposed compounds, have shown that the five lead molecules would have the potential to be effective drugs and could be used as a starting point for designing compounds against Staphylococcus aureus.

    Abstract The present study deals with the in silico of 45 indolyl-aryl-sulfones known as anti-HIV1. The data were collected from recent previously reported inhibitors and divided into a sub-set of 33 compounds as the training set and the remaining 12 compounds were kept in the test set. The selected pharmacophore-ADRRR-yielded a statistically significant 3D-QSAR model containing high confidence scores (R2 = 0.930, Q2 = 0.848, and RMSE = 0.460). The predictive power of the established pharmacophore model was validated with an external test (r2 = 0.848). A systematic virtual screening workflow shows an enrichment factor and has revealed a high predictive power. Then the model was used to screen the filtered PubChem database mapping all chemical features of model pharmacophore. The recognized hits were further assessed by in silico ADMET studies. Molecular dynamics also used to explore the stability of obtained complexes. Finally, these selected compounds are probably to become a good lead molecule for the development of effective anti-HIV-1 drugs.

    Abstract FLT3 is considered a potential target of acute myeloid leukemia therapy. In this study, we applied a computer-aided methodology unifying molecular docking and pharmacophore screening to identify potent inhibitors against FLT3. To investigate the pharmacophore area and binding mechanism of FLT3, the reported co-crystallized Gilteritinib ligand was docked into the active site using Glide XP. Based on the docking results, we identified structure-based pharmacophore characteristics resistant to potent FLT3 inhibitors. The best hypothesis was corroborated using test and decoy sets, and the verified hypo was utilized to screen the chemical database. The hits from the pharmacophore-based screening were then screened again using a structure-based method that included molecular docking at various precisions; the selected molecules were further examined and refined using drug-like filters and ADMET analysis. Finally, two hits were picked out for molecular dynamic simulation. The results showed two hits were expected to have potent inhibitory activity and excellent ADMET characteristics, and they might be used as new leads in the development of FLT3 inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

    Abstract The abnormal expression of the c-Met tyrosine kinase has been linked to the proliferation of several human cancer cell lines, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this context, the identification of new c-Met inhibitors based on heterocyclic small molecules could pave the way for the development of a new cancer therapeutic pathway. Using multiple linear regression (MLR)-quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and artificial neural network (ANN)-QSAR modeling techniques, we look at the quantitative relationship between the biological inhibitory activity of 40 small molecules derived from cyclohexane-1,3-dione and their topological, physicochemical, and electronic properties against NSCLC cells. In this regard, screening methods based on QSAR modeling with density-functional theory (DFT) computations, in silico pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (ADME-Tox) modeling, and molecular docking with molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) computations were used.

    Abstract Electronic structures, the effect of the substitution, structure physicochemical property/activity relationships and drug-likeness applied in pyrazine derivatives, have been studied at ab initio (HF, MP2) and B3LYP/DFT (density functional theory) levels. In the paper, the calculated values, i.e., NBO (natural bond orbitals) charges, bond lengths, dipole moments, electron affinities, heats of formation and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) properties are presented. For the QSAR studies, we used multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) statistical modeling. The results show a high correlation between experimental and predicted activity values, indicating the validation and the good quality of the derived QSAR models. In addition, statistical analysis reveals that the ANN technique with (9-4-1) architecture is more significant than the MLR model. The virtual screening based on the molecular similarity method and applicability domain of QSAR allowed the discovery of novel anti-proliferative activity candidates with improved activity.
