A new series of 10-methyl-6-oxo-5-arylazo-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,3]azaphospholo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-2-phospha-3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phosphorus dichlorides 11a-p has been synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobial agents. Structures of all the synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectroscopic data. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) investigations were applied to find out the correlation between the experimentally evaluated activity with various parameters of the compounds studied. QSAR equations showed that the molecular refractivity correlates significantly with the antimicrobial activity.

Chemoprevention is one of the accessible strategies for preventing, delaying or reversing cancer processing utilizing chemical intervention of carcinogenesis. NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing cytosolic enzyme/protein with important functional properties towards oxidation stress, supporting its ability in detoxification/chemoprotective role. A set of 3,5-diylidene-4-piperidones (as curcumin mimics) bearing alkyl sulfonyl group were synthesized with potential NQO1 induction properties.

Topological indices are crucial tools for predicting the physicochemical and biological features of different drugs. They are numerical values obtained from the structure of chemical molecules. These indices, particularly the degree-based TIs are a useful tools for evaluating the connection between a compound's structure and its attributes.

The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pharmacology accounts for a significant field in research, clinical studies, and therapeutics. Computer-aided drug discovery is an evolving suite of techniques and methodologies that facilitate accelerated progress in drug discovery and repositioning. However, the structure-activity relationships of molecules targeting GPCRs are highly challenging in many cases since slight structural modifications can lead to drastic changes in biological functionality.

Traditional best practices for quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) modeling recommend dataset balancing and balanced accuracy (BA) as the key desired objective of model development. This study explores the value of the conventional norms in the context of using QSAR models for virtual screening of modern large and ultra-large chemical libraries. For this increasingly common task, we now recommend the use of models with the highest positive predictive value (PPV) built on imbalanced training sets as preferred virtual screening tools.

Tryptophan participates in important life activities and is involved in various metabolic processes. The indole and aromatic binuclear ring structure in tryptophan can engage in diverse interactions, including π-π, π-alkyl, hydrogen bonding, cation-π, and CH-π interactions with other side chains and protein targets. These interactions offer extensive opportunities for drug development.
