QSAR Studies on Schiff Bases of Pyrrole-2-Carboxaldehyde for Antimicrobial Activity
Abstract: Pyrrole and Schiff bases are therapeutically significant organic moieties. QSAR (Quantitative structure-activity relationship) studies of thirteen pyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde Schiff bases have been described for antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis, E. coli and S. aureus. Described 2D QSAR models are statistically significant models with good fitting ability and robustness. The Q2 value is more than 0.5 for all discussed models which confirms the internal predictive power of the derived QSAR equations. Molecular …

QSAR Studies of 3-(4-(3-(Substitutedphenyl) Acryloyl) Phenyl)-2-Substituted phenyl/Phenylthiazolidin-4-ones for Anticancer Activity
Abstract: Both, Chalcone and 4-thiazolidinone, are therapeutically significant organic moieties with anticancer activities. QSAR (Quantitative structure–activity relationship) studies of ten synthesized chalcone-thiazolidinone hybrids have been described for anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines: A-549 (Human lung adenocarcinoma), U-87 MG (Human glioblastoma cancer cells) and COLO-205 (Human colon cancer cells). The developed linear QSAR models have significant statistical quality showing good fitting ability and robustness. The Q2 and R2 values of …

In vitro Cytotoxicity of 17-Oxo-5-androsten-3β-yl esters against Liver, Neuroblastoma and Colon Cancer Cell Lines
Abstract: A tumor is abnormal growth of body tissue and steroidal derivatives represent a distinct class of antineoplastic agents. Positioning of the oxo group on the parental steroid skeleton has significant effect on the antineoplastic activity profile of the compounds. Recent work from our laboratory has also demonstrated the effectiveness of 17-oxo-5-androsten-3β-yl ester derivatives as potential antiproliferative agents and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The current study was undertaken to investigate the cytotoxicity …

Medicinal Chemistry of Nanoparticles for Cancer Theranostics
Abstract: Cancer is a disease in which cells growth is uncontrollable and conventional treatment have a few side effects, for example, nonspecific delivery, unable to enter the center of tumor and absence of solubility. Nanoparticles could directly target disease cells specifically and increased medication localization in tumor cells giving exact cellular uptake. The theranostic nanomedicine can accomplish systemic flow, avoid host resistances and deliver the medication and diagnostic agents at the …

Semiempirical Modeling and Docking Studies of Pyrrole-2-Carboxaldehyde Schiff Bases
Abstract: Docking stimulation of antimicrobial compound SB7 against the active site of Mandelate racemase has been accomplished. This compound was engaged in various types of interactions with the binding site residues. Further, molecular modeling of all the target compounds was performed using MOPAC 2016 and various parameters were identified. SB1, SB2 and SB5 were found to be most stable compounds and had highest dipole moment. The compound SB8 came out to …
