To get insight of the intermolecular interactions, the molecular docking studies are performed at active site of topoisomerase II. Aim: In this study, an attempt is made for identification of potential ligands from oxazine substituted 9-anilino acridines targeted against topoisomerase-II (1ZXM) using molecular modelling and docking studies by using Schrodinger suit-2012 Maestro 9.3 version. Insilco ADMET screening also performed by qikprop module of Schrodinger suit. Results: The relative binding affinity of the designed compounds towards topoisomerase-II (1ZXM) was selected on the basis of docking score, GLIDE score and interaction patterns. Several compounds showed strong hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acid residues and their hydrophobic interactions and other parameters could also explain their potency to inhibit topoisomerase-II (1ZXM). The oxazine substituted 9-anilino acridine derivatives 1a-1k have good binding affinity with Glide score in the range of-5.7 to-8.06 when compared with the standard ledacrine (-5.24). The ADMET screening of the designed compounds have almost all the properties of the compounds are within the recommended values. Conclusion: Hence, this study provides evidence for consideration of valuable ligands in oxazine substituted 9-anilino acridine derivatives as potential topoisomerase-II inhibitor and further in vitro and in vivo investigations may prove its therapeutic potential

GSIs are a class of small-molecule compounds that target the Notch pathway and have been tested to treat various types of cancers in preclinical and clinical trials. Although GSIs elicit a response in some tumours as single agents and sensitize to cytotoxic and targeted therapies, they have not yet been approved for cancer therapy. A new series of chroman-4-one fused 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives has been synthesized with the help of different aromatic benzaldehydes, and the final compounds were characterized by FT-IR and 1 HNMR. Chroman-4-one fused 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of Schiff base derivatives with chroman-4-one fused 1,3,4-thiadiazole. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anticancer activity. These compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and Vero cancer cell lines. Four of the compounds possessed good to moderate anticancer activity. Four of the synthesized compounds, i.e. 3a, 3c, 3i, and 3e, were found to possess maximum growth inhibition. In conclusion, the designed chromanone-1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold is an interesting anticancer pharmacophore and considered as novel lead scaffold for any future optimization.

It facilitates DNA repair by binding to DNA breaks and attracting DNA repair proteins to the site of damage. Increased PARP-1 expression is observed in melanomas, breast cancer, lung cancer, and other neoplastic diseases. PARP-1 interacts directly and indirectly with various oncogenic proteins and regulates several transcription factors, thereby modulating carcinogenesis. There is a lot of pre-clinical and clinical data supporting the use of PARP-1 inhibitors [PARP-1i] in cancers that express homologous recombination deficiencies like mutations within the BRCA-1/2 genes. Therapeutic inhibition of PARP-1 is therefore perceived as a promising anticancer strategy, and numerous PARP-1i are currently under development and clinical evaluation. Currently, there are 4 FDA-approved PARP-1i products on the market, and a few more are in the last stage of clinical development. All the molecules are non-selective PARP-1i. While giving promising results, PARP-1i have their own disadvantages, like safety problems, resistance, etc. Looking at the success rate of PARP-1i in various solid tumours, there is a need for novel and selective PARP-1i. In this review, we discuss various aspects related to PARP-1i, like recent developments, overcoming resistance, and selectivity criteria of new molecules for potential PARP-1i.

Nucleozin (1) and its closely related derivatives had been identified as NP inhibitors displaying anti-influenza activity. Utilizing 1 as a lead molecule, we successfully designed and synthesized a series of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide derivatives as new anti-influenza A agents. One of the most potent compounds, 3b, inhibited the replication of various H3N2 and H1N1 influenza A virus strains with IC 50 values ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 μM. Compound 3b also strongly inhibited the replication of H5N1 (RG14), amantidine-resistant A/WSN/33 (H1N1), and oseltamivir-resistant A/WSN/1933 (H1N1, 274Y) virus strains with IC 50 values in sub-μM ranges. Further computational studies and mechanism investigation suggested that 3b might directly target influenza virus A nucleoprotein to inhibit its nuclear accumulation.

Compounds A13, A23, A18, A7, A48, A46, A32, A20, A1 and A47 are significantly active against SARS-CoV-2 main protease when compared with hydroxychloroquine and mataquine. The residues GLN19, THR24, THR25, THR26, LEU27, HIE41, SER46, MET49, ASN119, ASN142, HIE164, MET165, ASP187, ARG188 and GLN189 of SARS-CoV-2 main protease play a crucial role in binding with ligands. The in silico ADMET properties of the molecules are within the recommended values. The binding free energy was calculated using PRIME MM-GB/SA studies. From the ligands A38, A13, A23, A18, A7, A48 and A46 with significant Glide scores may produce significant COVID-19 activity for further development. Compound A38 was subjected to MD simulation at 100 ns to study the dynamic behaviour of protein–ligand complex. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Nucleozin (1) and its closely related derivatives had been identified as NP inhibitors displaying anti-influenza activity. Utilizing 1 as a lead molecule, we successfully designed and synthesized a series of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide derivatives as new anti-influenza A agents. One of the most potent compounds, 3b, inhibited the replication of various H3N2 and H1N1 influenza A virus strains with IC 50 values ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 μM. Compound 3b also strongly inhibited the replication of H5N1 (RG14), amantidine-resistant A/WSN/33 (H1N1), and oseltamivir-resistant A/WSN/1933 (H1N1, 274Y) virus strains with IC 50 values in sub-μM ranges. Further computational studies and mechanism investigation suggested that 3b might directly target influenza virus A nucleoprotein to inhibit its nuclear accumulation.

Enantiomeric resolution of the drug products were successfully achieved on a Phenomenex® lux cellulose 1 C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d, 5 µm particle size) column with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: 5 mM ammonium format pH (5.5) adjusted with formic acid (90:10) (v/v), and a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The developed method provided linear responses within the concentration range 1–5 ng/mL, and regression analysis showed a correlation coefficient value (r2) of 0.999. The optimized mobile phase separated (+) Meclizine at 1.58 min and (-) Meclizine at 2.20 min, respectively. The LC/MS method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, precision, linearity and robustness. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 1.0 ng/mL and 5.0 ng/mL respectively. The proposed method is suitable for analysis of meclizine enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulations and quality control analysis.
