Anti-inflammatory properties of allylic sulfone derivative: In vitro and in silico investigations using DFT and molecular dynamics
The development of new agents capable of modulating the inflammatory response has attracted significant attention for managing inflammatory diseases. In our study, we investigated the use of an allylic sulfone-based compound as a potential anti-inflammatory agent. Our research involved testing this compound on LPS-induced murine macrophages, and we found it significantly reduced nitric oxide as well as levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. In addition, we used computational analyses, such as DFT calculations, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations, to understand its electronic properties and drug-receptor interactions. The results support its potential as a new anti-inflammatory agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
