ANN-QSAR, Molecular Docking, ADMET Predictions, and Molecular Dynamics Studies of Isothiazole Derivatives to Design New and Selective Inhibitors of HCV Polymerase NS5B.

RNA polymerase (NS5B), serves as a crucial target for pharmaceutical interventions aimed at combating the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which poses significant health challenges worldwide. The present research endeavors to explore and implement a variety of advanced molecular modeling techniques that aim to create and identify innovative and highly effective inhibitors that specifically target the RNA polymerase enzyme. In this study, a QSAR investigation was carried out on a set of thirty-eight isothiazole derivatives targeting NS5B inhibition and thus hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment.

Identification of Potent Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors as New Candidates for Alzheimer Disease via Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, Dynamic Simulation, and Molecular Mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area Calculations.

Huperzine A (HUP) plays a crucial role in Alzheimer's therapy by enhancing cognitive function through increased cholinergic activity as a reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Despite some limitations being seen in AChE inhibitors, ongoing research remains dedicated to finding innovative and more effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. To achieve the goal of the discovery of potential HUP analogues with improved physicochemical properties, less toxic properties, and high biological activity, many in silico methods were applied.

Computer-Aided Strategy on 5-(Substituted benzylidene) Thiazolidine-2,4-Diones to Develop New and Potent PTP1B Inhibitors: QSAR Modeling, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, PASS Predictions, and DFT Investigations.

A set of 5-(substituted benzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives was explored to study the main structural requirement for the design of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. Utilizing multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis, we constructed a robust quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model to predict inhibitory activity, resulting in a noteworthy correlation coefficient (R) of 0.942.

Identification of novel curcumin derivatives against pancreatic cancer: a comprehensive approach integrating 3D-QSAR pharmacophore modeling, virtual screening, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Pancreatic cancer, known as the "silent killer," poses a daunting challenge in cancer therapy. The dysregulation of the PI3Kα signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer has attracted considerable interest as a promising target for therapeutic intervention. In this regard, the use of curcumin derivatives as inhibitors of PI3Kα has emerged, providing a novel and promising avenue for developing effective treatments for this devastating disease.

Photochemistry of the Fe(III)-iminodiacetic acid complex under UVA and UV/Vis irradiation: synthesis and characterisation.

The photochemistry of Fe(III)-Iminodiacetic acid complex (Fe(III)-IDA) was studied under UVA and UV/Vis irradiation. The synthesis was realised via molar ratio method modified by reaction of IDA as ligand with Fe(III) as metal. The interaction of Fe(III) with IDA was characterised using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and spectroscopy UV-visible.
