Synthesis and Acaricidal Activities of Scopoletin Phenolic Ether Derivatives: QSAR, Molecular Docking Study and in Silico ADME Predictions.

ABSTRACT: Thirty phenolic ether derivatives of scopoletin modified at the 7-hydroxy position were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary acaricidal activities of these compounds against female adults of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) were evaluated using the slide-dip method. The results indicated that some of these compounds exhibit more pronounced acaricidal activity than scopoletin, especially compounds 32, 20, 28, 27 and 8 which exhibited about 8.41-, 7.32-, 7.23-, 6.76-, and 6.65-fold higher acaricidal potency. Compound 32 possessed the the most promising acaricidal activity and exhibited about 1.45-fold higher acaricidal potency against T. cinnabarinus than propargite. Statistically significant 2D-QSAR model supports the observed acaricidal activities and reveals that polarizability (HATS5p) was the most important parameter controlling bioactivity. 3D-QSAR (CoMFA: q² = 0.802, r² = 0.993; CoMSIA: q² = 0.735, r² = 0.965) results show that bulky substituents at R?, R?, R? and R? (C?, C?, C?, and C?) positions, electron positive groups at R? (C?) position, hydrophobic groups at R? (C?) and R? (C?), H-bond donors groups at R? (C?) and R? (C?) will increase their acaricidal activity, which provide a good insight into the molecular features relevant to the acaricidal activity for further designing novel acaricidal agents. Molecular docking demonstrates that these selected derivatives display different bide modes with TcPMCA1 from lead compound and they interact with more key amino acid residues than scopoletin. In silico ADME properties of scopoletin and its phenolic ether derivatives were also analyzed and showed potential to develop as good acaricidal candidates.

Project description: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. Using physicochemical (stretch-bend, hydrogen bond acceptor, Connolly molecular area, polar surface area, total connectivity) and electronic (total energy, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels) molecular descriptors, compound 6d is identified as the optimal scaffold for drug design based on in silico screening tests. The computer-aided modeling developed in this study allowed us to design, optimize, and screen a new class of 36 small molecules based on cyclohexane-1,3-dione as potential c-Met inhibitors against NSCLC cell growth. The in silico rational drug design approach used in this study led to the identification of nine lead compounds for NSCLC therapy via c-Met protein targeting. Finally, the findings are validated using a 100 ns series of molecular dynamics simulations in an aqueous environment on c-Met free and complexed with samples of the proposed lead compounds and Foretinib drug.
