In silico insights into the design of novel NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists: QSAR modeling, ADME-toxicity predictions, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics investigations.

Based on a structural family of thirty-two NR2B-selective N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists, two phenylpiperazine derivatives labeled C37 and C39 were conceived thanks to molecular modeling techniques, as novel NMDAR inhibitors exhibiting the highest analgesic activities (of pIC order) against neuropathic pain, with excellent ADME-toxicity profiles, and good levels of molecular stability towards the targeted protein of NMDA receptor. Initially, the quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) models were developed using multiple linear regression (MLR), partial least square regression (PLSR), multiple non-linear regression (MNLR), and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques, revealing that analgesic activity was strongly correlated with dipole moment, octanol/water partition coefficient, Oxygen mass percentage, electronegativity, and energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, whose the correlation coefficients of generated models were: 0.860, 0.

New Triazole-Isoxazole Hybrids as Antibacterial Agents: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, In Vitro, and In Silico Studies.

Novel isoxazole-triazole conjugates have been efficiently synthesized using 3-formylchromone as starting material according to a multi-step synthetic approach. The structures of the target conjugates and intermediate products were characterized by standard spectroscopic techniques (H NMR and C NMR) and confirmed by mass spectrometry (MS). The all-synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against three ATCC reference strains, namely ATCC 25923, ATCC BAA-44, and ATCC 25922 as well as one strain isolated from the hospital environment .

Chromone-isoxazole hybrids molecules: synthesis, spectroscopic, MEDT, ELF, antibacterial, ADME-Tox, molecular docking and MD simulation investigations.

A mechanistic study was performed within the molecular electron density theory at the B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) computational level to explain the regioselectivity observed. An electron localization function analysis was also performed, and the results confirm the zwitterionic-type (zw-type) mechanism of the cycloaddition reactions between nitrile oxide and alkylated 4-chromene-2-carboxylate derivatives and shed more light on the obtained regioselectivity experimentally. studies on the pharmacokinetics, ADME and toxicity tests of the compounds were also performed, and it was projected that compounds , , and are pharmacokinetic and have favorable ADME profiles.
