Abstract

Green tea is a plant with a high content of catechins. Catechins are a secondary metabolites that possess many benefits and potencies, one of which is as an antitumor. This study aims to describe the potential of catechin and its derivatives as antitumor inhibitor of HGF and their toxicity profiles through in silico analysis. The ligands used in this study were catechin, gallocatechin, epicatechin, and epigallocatechin. The results showed that epicatechin has better potency (-6.6 kcal/mol) than other catechin derivatives. The toxicity characteristics of the four catechins indicate that they do not exhibit hepatotoxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity, and possess a safe LD50 value. Further studies, such as in vitro and in vivo, must reveal its potential as an antitumor HGF inhibitor.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious yet often overlooked disease that remains a significant global challenge. Pyrazinamide (PZA), a key drug in the first-line TB treatment regimen, is used to reduce the duration of therapy, making it a compound of great interest for further exploration. Two pyrazine-2-carboxamide analogs have been successfully synthesized and reported, followed by an in-silico evaluation of their potency as antituberculosis agents. Yamaguchi reagent was employed as a coupling agent between pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid and corresponding amine, yielding N-(cyclohexylmethyl) pyrazine-2-carboxamide (D) and N-(4-cyclooctyl) pyrazine-2-carboxamide (E) in 60% and 55%, respectively. The molecular docking analysis of compounds (D) and (E) demonstrated lower binding energies (-7.65 and -7.37 kcal/mol, respectively), in comparison with the standard TB drugs, pyrazinamide and isoniazid. Additionally, ADME and pharmacokinetics evaluations revealed that compounds (D) and (E) meet the essential criteria for oral drug candidacy. These findings suggest that the pyrazinamide analogs (D) and (E) hold significant potential as promising antimycobacterial agents for tuberculosis therapy.

Abstract

Saat ini, kasus TB terus menjadi tantangan global dengan lebih dari 10 juta kasus baru setiap tahun, dan lebih dari 500.000 di antaranya resisten terhadap obat TB. Indonesia menyumbang sekitar 10% dari total kasus TB global dan menempati peringkat kedua sebagai negara dengan jumlah kasus TB tertinggi di dunia. Peningkatan kasus TB kambuh dipicu oleh resistensi terhadap obat TB sehingga memerlukan pengembangan obat baru yang efektif, singkat dalam pengobatan, dan tidak rentan terhadap Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pirazinamida merupakan salah satu obat komersial untuk menangani tuberkulosis. Cincin pirazin memiliki peran penting dalam aktivitas bakterisidal. Senyawa yang mengalami N-substitusi dengan 4-feniltiazol-2-amin dan perpanjangan fenil dengan subtitusi gugus asam karboksilat telah terbukti memiliki aktivitas yang efektif. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan analisis in silico terhadap senyawa hibrid yang mengombinasikan pirazinamida dengan Asam 4-(2-aminotiazol-4-il)benzoat. Studi in silico melibatkan penelitian studi penambatan, sifat fisikokimia, dan sifat farmakokinetik. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa senyawa hibrid (5) dan (6) memiliki potensi sebagai penghambat protein InhA dan dapat dianggap sebagai kandidat obat oral.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, representing a global health concern, especially owing to the increasing incidence of resistancy, including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Among the potential therapeutic targets for new antituberculosis agents is enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (InhA), an essential enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway responsible for the formation of vital components of the M. tuberculosis cell wall. This study aims to modify the compound N-(4-fluorobenzyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (1) by replacing the pyrazine group with N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide (4) and N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (5), and to evaluate their antituberculosis activity in silico, which has not been reported previously. Molecular docking was performed against the InhA receptor (PDB ID: 4TZK) using AutoDock 4.2.6 software. Method validation was performed using a gridbox with dimensions 30 × 24 × 16 and a grid center at coordinates 10,119; 32,370; 60,728; yielding an RMSD value of 1,16 Å. The docking results indicated that the three modified compounds provided lower binding energies than the control drugs, with compound 5 showing the lowest energy (-8.48 Kcal/mol), followed by compound 4 (-7.44 Kcal/mol) and compound 1 (-7.09 Kcal/mol). Pharmacokinetic predictions indicate that all three compounds comply with Lipinski’s Rule of Five and Veber’s filter, with high gastrointestinal absorption. The study results suggest that modified compound 5 has the strongest potential as an antituberculosis drug candidate and warrants further evaluation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive metabolic disorder marked by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from insulin resistance, insufficient insulin secretion, or a combination of both conditions. A potential therapeutic target for treating this illness is the suppression of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme, which is a key regulator of postprandial glucose absorption and carbohydrate metabolism. This work conducted a thorough in silico analysis to evaluate the efficacy of three synthesised azo-acetohydrazide derivatives (designated compounds C, D, and E) as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Pharmacokinetic properties and drug-likeness characteristics were evaluated using the SwissADME platform, while molecular docking simulations were conducted with AutoDockTools against the alpha-glucosidase enzyme structure sourced from the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 3W37), utilising acarbose as a reference inhibitor. All three compounds adhered to essential drug-likeness criteria, including those established by Lipinski, Veber, and Ghose, and exhibited advantageous physicochemical characteristics, such as appropriate molecular weight, lipophilicity, topological polar surface area, and aqueous solubility. The compounds were anticipated to have significant gastrointestinal absorption and had no ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, suggesting a minimal risk of central nervous system damage. Compound E demonstrated the highest binding affinity among the compounds, with a docking score of –7.80 kcal/mol, and formed multiple stabilising interactions within the enzyme's active region, such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic contacts, and electrostatic interactions. This study's novelty is the computational discovery of azo-acetohydrazide scaffolds as inadequately investigated chemical entities with potential antidiabetic properties. These findings establish a theoretical basis for continued development and substantiate future endeavours in the synthesis and experimental validation of these molecules. This study validates the efficacy of structure-based drug design in discovering novel alpha glucosidase inhibitors and identifies compound E as a good candidate for further in vitro and in vivo research in type 2 diabetes treatment.
