POMA analyses as new efficient bioinformatics' platform to predict and optimise bioactivity of synthesized 3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno[1,2-c]pyrazole-2- carboxamide/carbothioamide analogues

摘要

A series of 43, 3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno[1,2-c]pyrazole-2-carboxamide/ carbothioamide analogues (D01-D43) were analysed using Petra, Osiris, Molinspiration and ALOGPS (POMA) to identify pharmacophore, toxicity prediction, lipophilicity and bioactivity. All the compounds were evaluated for anti-HIV activity. 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3a,4-dihydro-3H- indeno[1,2-c]pyrazole-2-carboxamide (D07) was found to be the most active with IC50 4.83 μM and CC50 4.83 μM. 3-(4-Fluorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno[1,2-c] pyrazole-2-carbothioamide (D41) was found to be the most active compound against bacterial strains with MIC of 4 μg/ml, comparable to the standard drug ciprofloxacin while 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno[1, 2-c]pyrazole-2-carboxamide (D38) was found to be the most active compound against fungal strains with MIC 2-4 μg/ml, however less active than standard fluconazole. Toxicities prediction by Osiris were well supported and experimentally verified with exception of some compounds. In anticonvulsant screening, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3a,4-dihydro-3H- indeno[1,2-c]pyrazole-2-carboxamide (D09) showed maximum activity showing 100% (4/4, 0.25-0.5 h) and 75% (3/4, 1.0 h) protection against minimal clonic seizure test without any toxicity.
