But they are contaminating the environment and food chain by degradation, particularly affecting to the human endocrine system. Herein, we have investigated the physicochemical, spectral, biological and pharmacokinetic properties of some selected bisphenol analogues utilizing computer-aided drug design methods. Geometry optimization has been performed by employing density functional theory with B3LYP/6-311g++ (d, p) basis set. Geometrical, thermodynamical, molecular orbital and electrostatic potential studies have been calculated to investigate their physical and chemical behavior. Meanwhile, FT-IR, Raman and UV-Vis's spectra have been measured and compared with the experimental values. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies have been performed against human estrogen-related receptor protein to investigate their binding affinity, mode and interactions with the receptor. ADMET prediction has been performed to compare their absorption, distribution, metabolism and toxicity. Among the studied analogues, Bis AF has the highest free energy and Bis E has highest binding affinity. Meanwhile, Bis S shows the highest dipole moment and the chemical reactivity. Most of them have inhibitory property to the CYP2C9 and Bis S shows the carcinogenic property. Based on the comparative physicochemical, spectral, biological and ADMET calculation, this study can be helpful to understand more deeply about their biochemical impact on the environment and human being.

In this view, several 4-t-butylbenzoyl uridine esters 4-15 with different aliphatic and aromatic groups were synthesized for antimicrobial, physicochemical and biological studies. In vitro antimicrobial tests against nine bacteria and three fungi along with prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) indicated promising antifungal functionality of these uridine esters compared to the antibacterial activities. In support of this observation their cytotoxicity and molecular docking studies have been performed against lanosterol 14a-demethylase (CYP51A1) and Aspergillus flavus (1R51). Significant binding affinities were observed against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (7BQY) considering hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as standard. ADMET predictions were investigated to evaluate their absorption, metabolism and toxic properties. Most of the uridine esters showed better results than that of the HCQ. Overall, the present study might be useful for the development of uridine-based novel MDR antimicrobial and COVID-19 drugs.

H 4 L and its complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, spectral (IR, 1 H NMR, ESR and MS), thermal and magnetic measurements. The complexes have the formulae [VO(H 2 L)]AE2H 2 O, [Ni(H 2 L)]AE3H 2 O, [Zn(H 2 L)], [Ni(H 4 L)Cl 2 ]AE2H 2 O and [Cr 2 (H 2 L)(OAc) 2 (OH) 2 ]-AE2H2O, [Cu(H 4 L) (H 2 L)(EtOH) 2 ]AE2H 2 O, [Co 2 (H 2 L)(OAc) 2 ]AEH 2 O, [Mn 2 (H 2 L)-(OH) 2 ]AEH 2 O [Cu 2 (H 2 L)(OAc) 2 (H 2 O) 6 ], and [Co 2 (H 2 L)(H 2 O) 4 Cl 2 ]AE2H 2 O. H 4 L released its OH or NH protons during the complex formation. Acetate and hydroxo groups bridged the two chromium in [Cr 2 (H 2 L)(OAc) 2 (OH) 2 ]AE2H 2 O. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra of all complexes provide: tetrahedral for [Co 2 (H 2 L)(OAc) 2 ]AEH 2 O, [Ni(H 2 L)]AE3H 2 O and [Zn(H 2 L)]; square-pyramidal for [VO(H 2 L)]AE2H 2 O and octahedral for the rest. In DMF solution, the bands are shifted to higher energy suggesting a weak interaction with the solvent. The ESR spectra support the mononuclear geometry for [VO(H 2 L)]AE2H 2 O and [Cu(H 3 L) 2 (EtOH) 2 ]AE2H 2 O. The thermal decomposition of the complexes revealed the outer and inner solvents as well as the end product which in most cases is metal oxide.

It is mainly used for the short term treatment of post-operative pain. It can inhibit the prostaglandin synthesis by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX). Methods In this investigation, the inherent stability and biochemical interaction of Ketorolac (KTR) and its degradation products have been studiedon the basis of quantum mechanical approaches. Density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/ 6-31G (d) has been employed to optimize the structures. Thermodynamic properties, frontier molecular orbital features, dipole moment, electrostatic potential, equilibrium geometry, vibrational frequencies and atomic partial charges of these optimized structureswere investigated. Molecular docking has been performed against prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) synthase protein 5F19 to search the binding affinity and mode(s). ADMET prediction has performed to evaluate the absorption, metabolism and carcinogenic properties. Results The equilibrium geometry calculations support the optimized structures. Thermodynamic results disclosed the thermal stability of all structures. From molecular orbital data, all the degradents are chemically more reactive than parent drug (except K3). However, the substitution of carboxymethyl radicalin K4 improved the physicochemical properties and binding affinity. ADMET calculations predict the improved pharmacokinetic and non-carcinogenic properties of all degradents. Conclusion Based on physicochemical, molecular docking, and ADMET calculation, this study can be helpful to understand the biochemical activities of Ketorolac and its degradents and to design a potent analgesic drug.
