Quantitative structure relationship techniques (QSRT) is among the most widely used computational technology for analog-based drug design. A molecular modeling approach using theoretical, computational analysis through chem sketch ACD lab online software was done for determination of probable antimicrobial activity. To develop a pharmacophoric model for inhibition, QSRT parameters PCP, ADME, and toxicity has been used. BCF (Bioconcentration factor), adsorption coefficient, log P, log D values, plasma protein binding, P-gp inhibition, AMES test, hERg inhibition, estrogen receptor, and Lipinski’s type properties have been calculated. From a data set of 11 analogs, it has been concluded that all compounds are non-bio-accumulative, non-endocrine disruptors, non hERg inhibitors, genotoxic and within Lipinski’s criteria. None of the compounds are practically ionizable at various body pH values, and all are zwitterionic compounds. From these data and in-vitro antimicrobial data compounds, 5c and 5f can be exploited for the formulation of bactericide and fungicide with a slight modification in their...

Objective: Physically modified forms of BCS class II drug Nabumetone (NBT) was studied for dissolution in water and pharmacopoeial dissolution media (2%w/v sodium lauryl sulfate in water). Characterization was to identify the suitability of physical processing like heating, cooling, grinding, and milling operations anticipated during commercial manufacturing of dosage forms. Materials and Methods: NBT was subjected to melting followed by quench cooling, grinding, and ball milling to alter the physical characteristics. These were subjected to dissolution studies and compared the values with the raw material. Characterization was done with DSC, FTIR, and PXRD. Results: The quench cooled form of NBT exhibited low dissolution in water compared to NBT raw material and size reduced samples. In water, the cumulative percentage release (CPR) of NBT after 120 min was found to be 4.64 ± 0.04, 4.62 ± 0.09, 4.50 ± 0.07 and 4.06 ± 0.04 for NBT raw material, ground NBT, ball-milled NBT and quench cooled NBT respectively. The CPR of NBT after 120 min in 2% SLS was 86.10 ±...

Cancer is one of the emergings, and best-understood neoplasm’s from a genetic perspective, yet it remains the second most common cause of cancer-related death, indicating that some of its cancer cells are not removing completely by current therapies. Chitosan is a polysaccharide β-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine were used as conjugate to 5Fluorouracil. 5FU is one of the most commonly used drugs to treat cancer. The present invention relates the 5 Fluorouracil drug react with chitosan and formed chitosan – 5FU conjugate and used as Nobel anticancer models in zebrafish as an alternative model. The conjugated drug may highly selective and sustain release of drug to treat effectively colon cancer models in zebrafish. 5-fluorouracil react with chloroacetic acid in presence of potassium hydroxide gives 5-fluorouracil acetic acid. 5-fluorouracil acetic acid reacts with chitosan and formed chitosan -5FU conjugate. Characterization of chitosan folic acid and chitosan 5FU studied details by FTIR and NMR and showed well structural...

2-Pyrazolines are well known, and important nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic compounds which belong to the family of azoles and have been found to possess considerable activities, like anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, immunosuppressant and antiamoebic activity. In the present work, ten novel pyrazolines were prepared from chalcones, characterized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using Ciprofloxacin as standard and using DMSO as a solvent. Their activity was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition in mm. All the compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Among ten derivatives of compounds synthesized, the derivative with 2-chloro and 4-chloro substituted phenyl rings attached to pyrazolines exhibited the highest activity against both types of organisms. The derivatives with an unsubstituted phenyl group attached to pyrazolines exhibited comparatively less activity. Thus it can be concluded that pyrazolines containing substituted phenyl groups are effective broad spectrum antibacterial agents, and they can be developed as effective antibacterial...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an important target for diabetes since inhibition of PTP1B offers therapeutic benefits in insulin-resistant diabetes. Considering this fact in present investigation various heterocyclic derivatives of chalcone were synthesized and evaluated for their PTP1B inhibitory activity as antihyperglycemic agents. Heterocyclic derivatives; isoxazoline (II A-II E), and pyrazoline (III A – III E / VIA-VIC) were synthesized through cyclization of chalcone intermediates and structures of final compounds were established using various spectral analysis techniques such as; IR, 1H-NMR and mass. Compounds were screened for their antihyperglycemic activity using sucrose loaded diabetic model. Isoxazoline derivatives offered potent antihyperglycemic response than correspondence pyrazoline derivatives. Compounds bearing isoxazoline ring II A and II E showed maximum % fall of blood glucose level than control group which was comparable to the standard drug metformin. The newer compounds VIA, VIB, and VIC also evaluated for their anti-hyperglycemic activities, compound VIC showed appreciable response (62.5% antihyperglycemic activity). The result of biological activity was also anticipated by molecular docking study which was...
