2d-Qsar Study on Some Novel Dihydropyrimidine-4-Carbonitrile Analogs as an Antifungal Activity

Abstract

Objective: The present study was designed to study the antifungal activity of Dihydropyrimidine-4-Carbonitrile analogs against the fungi Candida albicans by a 2D quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model. Methods: The pyrimidine derivatives were produced using lipophilic, electronic, and steric parameters by Quantitative Structure Activity-Relationships (QSAR). A relationship between dependent and independent variables (biological activities and physicochemical descriptors, respectively) was resolved statistically using regression analysis. The F value shows the level of statistical significance of the regression (r2) was used to report the fitness of data. The newly synthesized derivatives were evaluated for in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicansby Nutrient agar and Seaboard dextrose agar media. Results: Multiple linear regression is a method of crucial importance, it allowed us to obtain a relation between the calculated parameters and the antifungal activity; this we can interpret the variance of the activity by contribution to the calculated descriptors. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model showing a significant activity-descriptors relationship accuracy of 90% (R2 ≥ 0.90) and activity prediction accuracy of 81% (R²cv = 0.81). These values prove that the model obtained is reliable. Out of the three descriptors studied; log P has minimum potency, molar refractivity has more potency and heat of formation has moderate potency. Conclusion: Important structural understanding in the pattern of potent antifungal agents by Quantitative Structure Activity-Relationships (QSAR) study. The acquired physicochemical properties (electronic, topological, and steric) show the important structural features required for antifungal activity against Candida albicans.

Moringa oleifera: Review on herbal healing properties and Nutritional values

“…Candida albicans nevertheless displayed resistance to these extracts. Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigates, Aspergillus niger, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida albicans all showed similar responses to Moringa leaf extract [98,99] .…”

“…The healing properties of this plant, also known as "Mother's best friend," "the miracle tree," "the horseradish tree," and "the drumstick tree," have made it a blessing to mankind. The Moringa plant is widely available, affordable, very nourishing, and well-known for its therapeutic properties [2,3] . Moringa leaves include a wide variety of macronutrients and micronutrients that are essential to both people and other living things.…”

Increasing the Sustainability of Pharmaceutical Grade Water Production

“…Water for injection (aqua ad iniectabilia) represents the highest quality of pharmacopeial WPU 6. As it is pyrogen‐free 7, it serves for the manufacturing of drugs for parenteral use whose solvent is water 2.…”

Unveiling Chemical, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties of Fagonia indica Grown in the Hail Mountains, Saudi Arabia

“…The use of herbs for their therapeutic benefits is known as herbal medicine, sometimes known as herbalism or botanical medicine [ 6 ]. Numerous studies have shown that certain plants contain various compounds, such as peptides, aldehydes, alkaloids, phenols, saponins, polysaccharides, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids and tannins, which may have critical restorative effects against bacteria, fungi, or viruses [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Herbal plants produce and contain a variety of chemical substances that have an impact on humans.…”
