Ultrasound assisted synthesis of 3-alkynyl substituted 2-chloroquinoxaline derivatives: Their in silico assessment as potential ligands for N-protein of SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: In view of recent global pandemic the 3-alkynyl substituted 2-chloroquinoxaline framework has been explored as a potential template for the design of molecules targeting COVID-19. Initial in silico studies of representative compounds to assess their binding affinities via docking into the N-terminal RNA-binding domain (NTD) of N-protein of SARS-CoV-2 prompted further study of these molecules. Thus building of a small library of molecules based on the said template became essential for this purpose. Accordingly, a convenient and environmentally safer method has been developed for the rapid synthesis of 3-alkynyl substituted 2-chloroquinoxaline derivatives under Cu-catalysis assisted by ultrasound. This simple and straightforward method involved the coupling of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline with commercially available terminal alkynes in the presence of CuI, PPh3 and K2CO3 in PEG-400. Further in silico studies revealed some remarkable observations and established a virtual SAR (Structure Activity Relationship) within the series. Three compounds appeared as potential agents for further studies.

Project description:Background The unique anthropological coronavirus which has been titled as SARS-CoV-2 was originally arisen in late 2019 in Wuhan, China affecting respiratory infection named as COVID-19. Coronavirus is disturbing human life in an exceptional method and has converted a public health global crisis. Natural products are ahead consideration due to the huge beneficial window and effective anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and antiviral possessions. Consequently, the present study was intended to display inhibition ability of natural products coumarins and their analogues against SARS coronavirus. Methods The present study, aims to forecast theoretical assembly for the protease of COVID-19 and to discover advance whether this protein may assist as a target for protease inhibitors such as psoralen, bergapten, imperatorin, heraclenin, heraclenol, saxalin, oxepeucedanin, angelicin, toddacoumaquinone, and aesculetin. The docking score of these natural coumarin analogues compared with standard Hydroxychloroquine. Whereas the 3D assembly of main protease of SARS coronavirus was forecast with SWISS MODEL web server, and molecular interaction studies amongst target protein and ligands were done with AutoDock Vina software. Results The study more exposed that all the inhibitors acquired with negative dock energy against the target protein. Molecular docking investigation displayed that natural coumarin analogue toddacoumaquinone displayed a remarkable inhibition ability with the binding energy of ?7.8 kcal/mol than other compounds against main protease of SARS coronavirus in intricate with ?-ketoamide (PDB ID: 5N5O). The synthetic coumarin analogue (1 m) also displayed the comparable inhibition ability with a binding energy of ?7.1 kcal/mol against main protease of SARS coronavirus in intricate with ?-ketoamide. Keeping the overhead results of ADME and toxicity, all tested compounds were recognized as drug-like nature, passing Lipinski’s “Rule of 5” with 0 violation except ?-ketoamide passes Lipinski’s “Rule of 5” with 1 violation MW > 500. The projected constraints are within the assortment of recognized values. Conclusions Based upon the results of the manifold sequence alliance, natural and synthetic coumarin binding sites were preserved. The present in silico examination thus, delivers structural awareness about the protease of COVID-19 and molecular relations with some of the recognised protease inhibitors.
