Item Open Access 1, 3 -Dipolar cycloaddition of * -Amino nitrone(University of North Bengal, 1993) Bose, Rajib Kumar; Ghosh, A RItem Open Access An approach of computer aided drug design tools for in silico pharmaceutical drug design and development(University of North Bengal, 2024) Sarkar, Kaushik; Das, Rajesh KumarThe work in this thesis utilizing various in silico techniques to explore potential leads against aurora kinase, hepatitis C virus, COVID-19, monkeypox virus, adenovirus, HKMT, and GOAT. CADD accelerates lead discovery and optimization, leveraging both high speed and low cost, thus enhancing drug development success rates. In this study, both structure-based (molecular docking) and ligand-based (QSAR) techniques were employed, providing a robust tool for ligand investigation. Drug repurposing emerges as a transformative strategy, offering innovative therapeutic avenues for approved drugs. Additionally, QSAR aids in lead optimization, minimizing time, cost, and animal use. Key steps in QSAR model development include dataset collection, descriptor calculation, model construction, and validation. This thesis proficiently employs QSAR to understand structural activity relationships, improve selectivity, and design molecules with enhanced efficacy, predicting the activity of newly designed compounds. CHAPTER I This chapter contains the in details about CADD which has been extensively explored for facilitating lead discovery and optimization with advantages in terms of both high speed and low cost, increases the probability of success in the drug development process. A variety of in silico methods have evolved in CADD that have two major application areas, i.e., LBDD and SBDD. The first part of the chapter deals with the object of CADD with aurora kinase and hepatitis C. The second part of the chapter deals about drug repurposing with COVID-19, monkeypox, and adenovirus. The last part deals about QSAR study with HKMT, and GOAT. CHAPTER II The major in silico techniques that are usually popular among researchers are molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, density functional theory (DFT), molecular mechanics Poisson Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA), quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR), artificial neural network (ANN) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity (ADMET) prediction. Collective use of all of the mentioned computer aided techniques is necessary to predict potential inhibitors. It includes methodologies of all of the above mentioned techniques in detail. CHAPTER IIIA Aurora kinase (AURK) belongs to the serine/threonine kinase family and play a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle. Therefore, AURKs are the hopeful target for anticancer therapies and these findings have encouraged researchers to rigorously hunt small molecule aurora kinase inhibitors, not only for research articles but also for use as therapeutic agents. This study helped us to identify and screen the best phytochemicals as potent inhibitors against AURK. These potent inhibitors came from the various substitution of rosmarinic acid (RA). Here, we selected different tested derivatives for designing anticancer drugs by substituting various functional groups of standard drug RA. In silico studies were carried out to Abstract appreciate better drug candidature of some of these derivatives. This study was performed on 56 derived compounds of the standard RA. Out of the 56 derivatives, 11 have passed all the rules of drug candidature, to serve as best AURK inhibitor, in a theoretical manner. This study should be supported by a new proposal to explore future studies with these 11 compounds against cancer. CHAPTER IIIB The NS3/4A protease is a common target for HCV infection. Telaprevir and danoprevir have promising activity in combating these virus-associated infections and are used as HCV protease inhibitors. In this study, we have found different tested derivative compounds for developing various HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors by designing the chemical structures of telaprevir and danoprevir. In silico studies were carried out to find better drug candidature from these derivative compounds. The docking studies were performed on HCV NS3/4A protease receptors (PDB: 3SV6 & 5EQR). DFT, global reactivity, ADME (Absorption, distribution, metabolism & excretion), and toxicity analysis were also performed for these designed compounds. The stability of the protein-ligand complexes was quantified by MD simulation and MM-PBSA studies. 16 derivatives (four as telaprevir and twelve as danoprevir) have satisfied higher binding affinity of interaction with NS3/4A protease, compared to telaprevir and danoprevir. These compounds have also passed all rules of drug candidature to serve as the best HCV inhibitors. These 16 ligands can be used as effective inhibitors against HCV NS3/4A protease. These ligands could be considered to follow the drug candidate behaviour by in vitro and in vivo analysis to inhibit HCV infection. CHAPTER IVA Novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19 caused the outbreak situation of global public health. In that pandemic situation, all the people lives of 212 Countries and Territories were affected due to partial or complete lockdown and also as a result of mandatory isolations or quarantines. This was due to the non-availability of any secure vaccine. This study helped us to identify and screen the best phytochemicals as potent inhibitors against COVID-19. In this study, we have selected two standard drugs namely hamamelitannin and rosmarinic acid as a probable inhibitor of pandemic COVID-19 receptor, compared to antimalarial drugs hydroxychloroquine, anti-viral drug remdesivir, and also baricitinib. This study was done by taking into consideration of molecular docking study. This work has provided an insightful understanding of protein-ligand interaction of hamamelitannin and rosmarinic acid showing comparable binding energies than that of clinically applying probable COVID-19 inhibitors hydroxychloroquine (an anti-malarial drug) and remdesivir (an anti-viral drug). We would expect that if its anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity is validated in human clinical trials, these two drugs may be developed as effective antiviral therapeutics for infected patients with COVID-19. CHAPTER IVB In view of the non-availability of any secure vaccine for COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2, scientists around the world have been running to develop potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2. This study helped us to identify and screen best phytochemicals (chemical drugs or plant based compounds) as potent inhibitors against COVID-19. Here, we have measured the virtual interactions of COVID-19 main protease (PDB: 6LU7) with lung cancer, bronchitis and blood thinner drugs as well as some natural plant based compounds. Best docking results have been considered on the basis of disulfiram, tideglusib and shikonin. ADME and toxicity were also predicted for these compounds. From this study, we would expect these drugs to undergo validation in human clinical trials to be used as promising candidates for antiviral treatment with high potential to fight against COVID-19. CHAPTER IVC Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is considered as zoonotic disease with characteristics comparable to smallpox virus. The disease was also a global epidemic concern. Tecovirimat was approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for MPXV treatment. The aim of this in silico study was to repurpose approved pharmaceutical drugs as potential inhibitors of MPXV target. In this study, molecular docking was performed on 406 pharmaceutical drugs, and results were compared with reference tecovirimat. Results showed that 7 compounds, bictegravir, glimepiride, glyburide, lasmiditan, olaparib, rimegepant, and ubrogepant, have shown higher binding energies compared to the reference. After that, these best hits were further assessed by 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation and the best results were observed for bictegravir, glimepiride, glyburide, olaparib, and ubrogepant. The docking analysis was further validated by MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations. In addition, pharmacokinetics and density functional theory (DFT) studies were also discussed for these best hits. In conclusion, three compounds, bictegravir, glimepiride, and glyburide, have satisfied all the criteria for better leads against MPXV. CHAPTER IVD Human adenovirus (HADV) infection can pose a serious threat to children, leading to a variety of respiratory illnesses and other complications. Particularly, children with weak immune systems are vulnerable to severe adenovirus infections with high mortality. The main focus of this study was to propose new antiviral agents as lead HADV inhibitors for children. So, several antiviral agents used in children were subjected to finding new HADV inhibitors using important computational methods of molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations, DFT, and pharmacokinetic analysis. Molecular docking of standard cidofovir along with other ligands, suggested that sofosbuvir has the highest binding energy (-10.8 kcal/mol), followed by baloxavir marboxil (-10.36 kcal/mol). Further, the analysis of molecular interactions using MD simulation (100 ns) and MM-PBSA indicated that baloxavir marboxil has formed the most stable protein-ligand complex with HADV, followed by sofosbuvir. The binding free energies of baloxavir marboxil and sofosbuvir were found to be -61.724 kJ/mol and -48.123 kJ/mol, respectively. The DFT and drug-likeness properties of these compounds were also investigated. Overall, two antiviral agents, such as baloxavir marboxil, and sofosbuvir, were suggested as lead repurposed candidates against HADV. CHAPTER VA Initiation and progression of several diseases by post-translational histone modifications are considered a worldwide problem. Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 2 (EZH2), which belongs to HKMT family, has been emphasised as a promising target for cancer therapy. It is a major challenge for the scientific community to find novel approaches to treating this disease. In this study, a series of 51 derivatives of the benzofuran and indole families, previously experimentally evaluated against HKMT, was used to develop the best QSAR model with promising anticancer activity. The multiple linear regression (MLR) method was used with a genetic algorithm (GA) for variable selection. The model with two descriptors (minHBint4 and Wlambdal.unity) was found to be the best and its parameters fit well, and its validation was well established. The applicability domain was also validated for this model. Furthermore, its robustness (R2 = 0.9328), stability (Q2LOO = 0.9212, Q2LMO = 0.9187), and good predictive power (R2ext = 0.929) were also verified. Hence, this model was assumed to have predictive HKMT anticancer activity for designing active compounds. Molecular docking was also performed to identify binding interactions, and new molecules with better predicted biological activity (pIC50) were designed. The binding energy of the three designed compounds demonstrated higher binding activity at the target receptor, followed by complex stability, determined by a 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy calculation. DFT and pharmacokinetic analyses also confirmed their drug-like properties. Finally, it could be declared that the proposed tools allow rapid and economical identification of potential anti-HKMT drugs (anticancer drugs) for further development. CHAPTER VB Diabesity is a major global health concern, and GOAT acts as an important target for the development of new inhibitors of this disease. This work highlighted a detailed QSAR study, which provides an excellent model equation using descriptors. Here, the best model equation developed has two variables, namely MLFER_E and XlogP, with statistical parameters R2 = 0.8433, LOF = 0.0793, CCCtr = 0.915, Q2LOO = 0.8303, Q2LMO = 0.8275, CCCcv = 0.9081, R2ext = 0.7712, and CCCext = 0.8668. A higher correlation of the key structural fragments with activity was validated by the developed QSAR model. Furthermore, molecular docking helped us to identify the binding interactions. Thirty four new molecules with better predicted biological activity (pIC50) were designed. The binding energy of four compounds have shown higher binding activity into the membrane protein. Molecular dynamics simulation has established the stability of the protein-ligand complex over 100 ns. DFT and ADME-toxicity analyses also confirmed their drug-like properties. Based on our findings, we would expect these new oxadiazolo pyridine derivatives to undergo further development.Item Open Access Application of functionalised chelating resins for selective sorption of metal ions with special reference to heavy metals(University of North Bengal, 2011) Dey, Gopal Ch.; Roy, AbhijitItem Open Access Aryl azene oxides : synthesis, structure and mesogenic behaviour(University of North Bengal, 2006) Das, Purak; Bandhopadhyay, P and Mandal, P K.Item Open Access Arylazo phenoxy derivatives of organotin compounds(University of North Bengal, 1990) Chatterjee, Debesh Kumar; Majee, BItem Open Access Aryloxyacetic acids : potential ligands for monomeric organotin carboxylates : on the preparation, structure and biological properties of organotin (IV) aryloxyacetates(University of North Bengal, 1986) Kumar, Amal K; Chattopadhyay, T KItem Open Access Aspects of equilibrium in a heterogeneous phase system-studies on ion-exchange equilibria and polarography of clay minerals and related exchange systems(University of North Bengal, 1971) Mukharjee, Subhankar; Chakrovarty, S KItem Open Access Assorted interactions of some antibacterial and anticancer drug molecules and ionic liquids prevaling in supramolecular and solution chemistry investigated by experimental and computational apporach(University of North Bengal, 2023) Sharma, Antara; Roy, Mahendra NathProposed work covers the Supramolecular Host-Guest Inclusion Complexation of some bioactive molecules and the solute-solvent interaction of amino acids (AA) with ionic liquids (ILs) aiming to compare the molecular interaction existing among these different chemical compounds and resulting molecular synergism in solution phase. Supramolecular assemblage has garnered a huge importance during recent years in the field of drug delivery owing to their significant biocompatibility and excellent potential to expand the spectrum of medical application in pharmaceutical industries and biomedical sciences. The spectroscopic techniques confirm the inclusion complex formation of numerous bioactive molecules and their photophysical properties in solution phase. The UV-Visible, 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy along with mass spectrometry studies supports the formation of inclusion complex. Further, SEM and PXRD analysis implements the qualitative aspect for the generation of supramolecular framework. Thermal and photostability of such assembly have been examined through DSC and UV- visible studies. Computational and theoretical molecular modelling studies of this system reaffirms the results observed in the experimental studies. In this study, inclusion of variety of biologically potent molecules such as, Rodanine, Gemcitabine and Nitrofurantoin have been examined. These compounds find significant medicinal applications. Pharmacological aspect is specifically considered to illustrate the biocompatibility of such biologically active molecules. Molecular recognition, controlled release of a drug and sensing field have received the great consideration under host–guest chemistry. Encapsulation of guest molecules in aqueous phase inside the nanocage of host molecules, such as cyclodextrins and several other water-soluble hosts lights up an advanced technique into the field of molecular recognition (inclusion or complexation) owing to extensive non-covalent interactions. The potent pharmacological activity of bioactive compounds often gets influenced through molecular recognition. Supramolecular host-guest chemistry covers a broad aspect related to the inclusion complex formation between the host and the guest molecules. Hydrophobic nanocage of host molecules are very efficient in binding variety of guest molecules. Over the past few decades, the supramolecular assembly has been extensively investigated in several fields including analytical chemistry and drug-delivery. Cyclodextrins (CDs), are the most suitable host compounds owing to their ability for controlled passage of guest molecules after inclusion complex formation thereby increasing bioavailability of the compound. Ionic liquids (IL) or famously known as molten salts at room temperature currently received great consideration in many areas of chemistry by the researchers across the globe. The most significant characteristic of ILs is the “tunability” of various physical and chemical properties by modifying structure. Many reviews have highlighted the different characteristics of ILs and their potential application. ILs are blessed with some exceptional properties as most of them have a negligible vapor pressure, unparalleled thermal and electrochemical stability, low flammability and commending dissolution properties with large variety of organic/inorganic compounds. ILs mainly consist of different category of cations and anions. They found significant applications as biphasic systems for separation, solvents for many synthetic and catalytic applications, lubricants, extensively in lithium batteries, supercapacitors, actuators, substitute for conventional solvents, alternative for reaction media and active pharmaceutical ingredients. However, the most important characteristic associated with ILs is the “tunability” of their structure. They can easily modify their structure to achieve the specific chemical or electrochemical applications. In order to investigate the stability of proteins, (ILs) are generally employed as a novel medium . Amino acids are considered ideal system for investigating the characteristics of proteins. Further denaturation, solvation and dissociation of enzyme are highly affected by the neighbouring environment. The emergence of assorted interactions is conventionally examined by estimation of the apparent molar volume ( v ), limiting apparent molar volume ( 0 v ), molar refraction ( M R ), limiting molar refraction ( 0 M R ) viscosity B coefficients obtained from different physicochemical methodologies. This study features the variety of physicochemical characteristics of amino acid in solution of Ionic liquid in water. This work helps in interpretating the behaviour of these compounds in complex structures of proteins. Here we have selected an Ionic liquid as an additive (electrolyte) as they are blessed with various advantages as a function of concentration, temperature, and ambient pressure. Thermodynamic, viscometry, volumetric, refractometric, surface tension measurements have been carried out as these properties are susceptible towards the solute-solute and solute-solvent interaction. Investigation of these properties greatly support to understand the structure and characteristics of solutes in aqueous medium and gives a reliable explanation for the complicated nature of molecular interactions in various biochemical processes occurring in the human body. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to (1) investigate and understand the significance of supramolecular recognition owing to their diverse range of applications in varied fields such as pharmaceutical, biomedical sciences etc. (2) understand and evaluate the molecular interactions between ionic liquid and various biomolecules in order to manifest the behaviour of these compounds in complex structures of proteins for further application.

The supramolecular assembly has become increasingly important in drug release these days because of its exceptional bioavailability and unique capacity to change the solubility, stability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the medication. They also show improved encapsulation, controlled release, and benign qualities. The inclusion complexation of diverse bioactive compounds and their distinct photophysical properties in aqueous media are confirmed by the spectroscopic contribution. The development of supramolecular assembly can be qualitatively understood by the use of SEM analysis, powder XRD, 1H-NMR, FTIR, and UV-visible analysis, all of which can satisfactorily express the inclusion phenomenon. Studying TGA and DSC can help to explain why such an arrangement is thermally stable. Confirming the data from the experimental research are studies of the supramolecular system using theoretical molecular modeling. Significant information on a variety of thermodynamic properties of electrolytes and non-electrolytes, the impacts of variations in ionic structures, and the mobility of ions in addition to their common ions can be gained from the study of the physicochemical properties of solutions. Measurements of apparent molar volume ( v ), limiting apparent molar volume ( 0 v ), molar refraction ( M R ), limiting molar refraction ( 0 M R ), molar conductance (Ʌ), Surface tension (γ) and viscosity B coefficients obtained from various physicochemical methodologies are typically used to reveal the genesis of diverse interactions between amino acids, vitamins and ionic liquid in the aqueous phase. This study has looked at the encapsulation of several biologically active compounds. There may be uses for these bioactive compounds in biological systems. Pharmacological activity is frequently used to characterize the advantageous properties of bioactive compounds. In host–guest chemistry, the application of macrocyclic hosts in molecular recognition, controlled release of a drug and sensing field has received considerable interest. The incorporation of guest molecules in the aqueous environment within the cavity of the host molecule such as α-cyclodextrin, provides new insight into molecular recognition (e.g. inclusion or complexation) through non-covalent interactions. A general understanding of the development of an inclusion complex between the host and guest molecules can be obtained from supramolecular host-guest chemistry. The host's hydrophobic cavities can bind various guest compounds. The supramolecular assembly as a whole has been extensively researched recently in a variety of disciplines, including analytical chemistry and medication delivery. When combined with different guest molecules of the right size, cyclodextrin and its derivative appear to be the most promising host molecules for the formation of inclusion complexes. Thus, the main goal of this thesis is to investigate the impact of supramolecular recognition and solution chemistry, which are unavoidably important due to their numerous applications in a variety of sectors, including the biological and pharmaceutical sciences.
