Theoretical Study of Azetidine Derivative by Quantum Chemical Methods, Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulations

摘要

Azetidine substituent group has a wide range of application in organic chemistry and medical field. In this study, a novel azetidine derivative and its reaction mechanism has been reported. Using quantum chemical method spectroscopic analysis and other parameters such as electronic and thermodynamic properties were studied to understand the physical as well as chemical behavior of the reported compound. Additionally, to study the antiviral activity, molecular docking studies were carried out against Hepatitis virus C (HCV) NS5B genotype and Norovirus as target protein. In order to validate the docking results molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and Molecular Mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) were calculated at 90 ns. The RMSD was obtained within the range 0.75 A to 1.5 A and binding energies (△G_(bind)) for the two complexes was found to be -18.34 kJ/mol and -16.10 kJ/ mol for each respective targets.It was found that reported compound can act as potential inhibitor for HCVand Norovirus.
