The antiviral and anticancer activity of new derivatives was evaluated. The most effective compounds against Human cytomegalovirus were sulfamides based on anisidine (1b), N-Boc-piperazine (1h), and the derivatives 1n,o with fragments of nipecotic and azetidine-3-carboxylic acids, respectively. Anticancer activity was most significant for sulfamides based on p-methoxybenzylamine (compound 1d), benzylmethylamine (compound 1f), and allylmethylamine (compound 1g).","PeriodicalId":23438,"journal":{"name":"Ukr.

The anellation of the heterocyclic rings increasing their acceptor properties is accompanied by gaining stability of the [Pharm-Pept] complexes formed by the π,π-stacking interaction. It was found that elongation of the polypeptide chain led to a twofold increase of the stabilization energy of the [Pharm-Pept] complexes. The stability of the hydrogen bonding ([HB]) [Pharm-BioM] complexes formed by means of the interaction between the dicoordinated nitrogen atom of the heterocycle and the functional groups of peptide amino acids (-OH, -NH2, -SH) was evaluated. It was demonstrated that [HB]-complexes that were formed by hydrogen bonds formation with amino acid that contained OH groups had the largest stabilization effect. The anellation with pyridine and pyrimidine rings led to stability increase of the complexes formed by the hydrogen bonding mechanism. The binding energy of [HB]-complexes for compounds 2b and 3 with a «free» peptide bond of the extended part of the protein is lower compared to amino acids with OH-functional groups. On the contrary, the binding energy of compound 4 with peptides was 2 kcal/mol higher. Compound 4 demonstrated the most pronounced biological activity in vitro studies.","PeriodicalId":23438,"journal":{"name":"Ukr. Bioorg.

The hypothesis was based on the well-known literature data on TPPs as inhibitors of S. aureus TG. The created homology model of TG C. albicans is optimal in terms of such quality indicators as GMQE (0.61), ERRAT (overall quality factor 95.904) and Ramachandran plot analysis (90% amino acid residues in the favored regions). Molecular docking of the most active ligands 1a-d, 3c into the active center of the created homology C. albicans TG model demonstrated the formation of stable ligand-protein complexes with binding energies in the range from -8.9 to -9.7 kcal/mol due to the various types of interactions. An important role in complex formation belongs to amino acid residues TYR307, TYR107, GLU275, ALA108 and PRO136. The presented qualitative homologous model of C. albicans TG can be used to search and create new agents with a dual mechanism of antimicrobial action. 1,3-oxazol-4-yltriphenylphosphonium salts 1a-d, 3c perform the perspective objects for further study as antimicrobials against infectious MDR pathogens.","PeriodicalId":23438,"journal":{"name":"Ukr.
