“…The Ramachandran plot is possibly the best pointer for evaluating the quality of experimentally and theoretically premeditated determination of three dimensional protein coordinates [ 33 , 35 ]. The docking protocol was validated using RAMPAGE which is an online server for verification of docking configuration based on RMSD of ligand-protein interaction or location of ligand atoms in the predicted and actual crystallographic determined binding mode.…”

“…Molecular docking has been applied as an essential tool in the process of drug design and discovery for various bioactive compounds [39,40], including antispasmodics [41], antimicrobials [42], and antimalarials [43]. Compound 7 was docked into the VEGFR-2 ATP binding site to better understand the pattern by which it bounds to the active site [38][39][40].…”

Corresponding to the reported features of anti-VEGFR-2-approved compounds, a new 1H-indole derivative (compound 7) was designed. The inhibitory potential of the designed compound was revealed via a molecular docking study that showed the appropriate binding. Then, MD simulation (six studies) over a period of 100 ns was performed to confirm the precise binding and optimum energy. Additionally, MM-GBSA reaffirmed the perfect binding, exhibiting a total precise energy of −40.38 Kcal/Mol. The MM-GBSA experiments named the essential amino acids in the protein–ligand interaction, employing the binding energy decomposition and revealing the diversity of interactions of compound 7 inside the VEGFR-2 enzyme. As compound 7 is new, DFT experiments were utilized for molecular structure optimization. Additionally, the DFT results validated the coherent interaction of compound 7 with the VEGFR-2 enzyme. A good value of drug-likeness of compound 7 was acknowledged via in silico ADMET studies. Interestingly, the experimental in vitro prohibitory potential of compound 7 was better than that of sorafenib, demonstrating an IC50 value of 25 nM. Notably, the strong inhibitory effects of compound 10 against two cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and HCT 116) were established with IC50 values of 12.93 and 11.52 μM, disclosing high selectivity indexes of 6.7 and 7.5, respectively.

The intriguing properties of organic-inorganic hybrid materials has resulted in the recent upsurge for more effective hybrid materials with diverse activity, harnessing the advantage of the flexibility and structural diversity imposed by these materials. In line with these, the synthesis, crystallography and structural characterization of a novel perchlorate (2,4-dichloroanilinium perchlorate) organic-inorganic hybrid material is reported. The synthesized structure was characterized by FTIR and NMR techniques. Appropriate computational methods were utilized to correlate the experimentally observed spectroscopic properties as well as other molecular electronic properties. The computational studies were achieved at the DFT/M06-2X/6-311++G(2df,2dp) and aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. For benchmarking purposes, the PWPB95 functional with D3BJ dispersion correction was utilized. Molecular electronic properties such as the frontier molecular orbitals, Natural bond orbital analysis, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and visual study of weak interaction via non-covalent interaction were considered to understand the molecular diversity of the perchlorate cluster. Hybrid materials often pose diverse bio-activities and as such the anti-spasmodic activity of the studied compound is considered by molecular docking approach.
