Synthesis, anti-bacterial evaluation, DFT study and molecular docking as a potential 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors of a novel Schiff bases.

ABSTRACT: New Schiff bases {N'-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene) isonicotinohydrazide (L¹H), N¹ -(naphthalen-1-yl)-N² -(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl) methylidene) ethane-1,2-diamine (L²H), N-(6-chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl) methanimine (L³H)}were synthesized by reaction of 2-benzoylpyridine with different amines (2-amino-6-chlorobenzothiazole, isonicotinohydrazide and N ¹-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine) and characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, IR mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The compounds were assayed by the disc diffusion method for anti-bacterial against five pathogenic bacteria species (Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, and E. coli). All prepared Schiff bases showed good activity compared to positive control (streptomycin), Moreover the L³H showed the highest activity against S. aureus, and M. luteus than the other compounds and streptomycin. In additional molecular docking studies with 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro), the essential enzyme for SARS-CoV-2 proliferation. The rest of compounds have shown promising results as 3CLpro inhibitors interacting with the active sites of the enzymes. Finally, DFT 's estimated electrostatic molecular potential results were used to illustrate the molecular docking findings. The DFT calculations showed that L³H has the highest dipole moment and electrophilicity index. Interestingly, L²H of the largest energy gap ?E = 2.49 eV, there are several hydrophilic interactions that could facilitate the binding with the receptors. All of these parameters could be shared to significantly affect the protein sites of binding affinity with different extent.

Project description:The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and 3C-like protease (3CLpro) from SARS-CoV-2 play crucial roles in the viral life cycle and are considered the most promising targets for drug discovery against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, FDA-approved drugs were screened to identify the probable anti-RdRp and 3CLpro inhibitors by molecular docking approach. The number of ligands selected from the PubChem database of NCBI for screening was 1760. Ligands were energy minimized using Open Babel. The RdRp and 3CLpro protein sequences were retrieved from the NCBI database. For Homology Modeling predictions, we used the Swiss model server. Their structure was then energetically minimized using SPDB viewer software and visualized in the CHIMERA UCSF software. Molecular dockings were performed using AutoDock Vina, and candidate drugs were selected based on binding affinity (∆G). Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions between ligands and proteins were visualized using Ligplot and the Discovery Studio Visualizer v3.0 software. Our results showed 58 drugs against RdRp, which had binding energy of - 8.5 or less, and 69 drugs to inhibit the 3CLpro enzyme with a binding energy of - 8.1 or less. Six drugs based on binding energy and number of hydrogen bonds were chosen for the next step of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate drug-protein interactions (including Nilotinib, Imatinib and dihydroergotamine for 3clpro and Lapatinib, Dexasone and Relategravir for RdRp). Except for Lapatinib, other drugs-complexes were stable during MD simulation. Raltegravir, an anti-HIV drug, was observed to be the best compound against RdRp based on docking binding energy (-9.5 kcal/mole) and MD results. According to the MD results and binding energy, dihydroergotamine is a suitable candidate for 3clpro inhibition (-9.6 kcal/mol). These drugs were classified into several categories, including antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, cardiovascular, anticoagulant, BPH and impotence, antipsychotic, antimigraine, anticancer, and so on. The common prescription-indications for some of these medication categories appeared somewhat in line with manifestations of COVID-19. We hope that they can be beneficial for patients with certain specific symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but they can also probably inhibit viral enzymes. We recommend further experimental evaluations in vitro and in vivo on these FDA-approved drugs to assess their potential antiviral effect on SARS-CoV-2.
