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:Influenza virus disease is one of the most infectious diseases responsible for many human deaths, and the high mutability of the virus causes drug resistance effects in recent times. As such, it became necessary to explore more inhibitors that could avert future influenza pandemics. The present research utilized some in-silico modelling concepts such as 2D-QSAR, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking simulation, and ADMET predictions on some 5-benzyl-4-thiazolinone derivatives as influenza neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors. The 2D-QSAR modelling results revealed GFA-MLR ( Rtrain2 =0.8414, Q2 = 0.7680) and GFA-ANN ( Rtrain 2 =0.8754, Q2 = 0.8753) models with the most relevant descriptors (MATS3i, SpMax5_Bhe, minsOH and VE3_D) for predicting the inhibitory activities of the molecules which has passed the global criteria of accepting QSAR models. The results of the 3D-QSAR modelling results showed that CoMFA_ES ( Rtrain 2 =0.9030, Q2 = 0.5390) and CoMSIA_EA ( Rtrain2 =0.880, Q2 = 0.547) models are having good predicting ability among other developed models. The molecules were virtually screened via molecular docking simulation with the active site of NA protein receptor (pH1N1) which confirms their resilient potency when compared with zanamivir standard drug. Molecule 11 as the most potent molecule formed more H-bond interactions with the key residues such as TRP178, ARG152, ARG292, ARG371, and TYR406 that triggered the catalytic reactions for NA inhibition. Furthermore, six (6) molecules (9, 10, 11, 17, 22, and 31) with relatively high inhibitory activities and docking scores were identified as the possible leads for in-silico exploration of novel NA inhibitors. The drug-likeness and ADMET predictions of the lead molecules revealed non-violation of Lipinski's rule and good pharmacokinetic profiles respectively, which are important guidelines for rational drug design. Hence, the outcome of this study overlaid a solid foundation for the in-silico design and exploration of novel NA inhibitors with improved potency.

Project description:BackgroundInfluenza virus disease remains one of the most contagious diseases that aided the deaths of many patients, especially in this COVID-19 pandemic era. Recent discoveries have shown that the high prevalence of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 coinfection can rapidly increase the death rate of patients. Hence, it became necessary to search for more potent inhibitors for influenza disease therapy. The present study utilized some computational modeling concepts such as 2D-QSAR, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking simulation, and ADMET predictions of some 1,3-thiazine derivatives as inhibitors of influenza neuraminidase (NA).ResultsThe 2D-QSAR modeling results showed GFA-MLR ( Rtrain2 = 0.9192, Q 2 = 0.8767, R 2 adj = 0.8991, RMSE = 0.0959, Rtest2 = 0.8943, Rpred2 = 0.7745) and GFA-ANN ( Rtrain2 = 0.9227, Q 2 = 0.9212, RMSE = 0.0940, Rtest2 = 0.8831, Rpred2 = 0.7763) models with the computed descriptors as ATS7s, SpMax5_Bhv, nHBint6, and TDB9m for predicting the NA inhibitory activities of compounds which have passed the global criteria of accepting QSAR model. The 3D-QSAR modeling was carried out based on the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The CoMFA_ES ( Rtrain2 = 0.9620, Q 2 = 0.643) and CoMSIA_SED ( Rtrain2 = 0.8770, Q 2 = 0.702) models were found to also have good and reliable predicting ability. The compounds were also virtually screened based on their binding scores via molecular docking simulations with the active site of the NA (H1N1) target receptor which also confirms their resilient potency. Four potential lead compounds (4, 7, 14, and 15) with the relatively high inhibitory rate (> 50%) and docking (> - 6.3 kcal/mol) scores were identified as the possible lead candidates for in silico exploration of improved anti-influenza agents.ConclusionThe drug-likeness and ADMET predictions of the lead compounds revealed non-violation of Lipinski's rule and good pharmacokinetic profiles as important guidelines for rational drug design. Hence, the outcome of this research set a course for the in silico design and exploration of novel NA inhibitors with improved potency.
