Abstract - Some organic crystalline compounds were selected
for the assessment of molecular property and bio-activity
scores using molinspiration software whose crystal structures
were obtained from literature. All the ten (I-X) compounds
obeyed Lipinski’s rule and (II-IX) compounds showed good
likeness scores. The crystalline compounds were found to be
better drugs and the compounds (I,II,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII & IX) were
found to be moderately active as GPCR ligand, ion channel
modulator, nuclear receptor ligand, kinase inhibitor, protease
inhibitor and enzyme inhibitor.
Key Words: Organic Crystalline Compounds, Lipinski’s rule,
MiLog P, TPSA and GPCR.
1. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the sources of drug leads in the
pharmaceutical industry have changed significantly. From
about 1970 on, what were considered at that time to be large
empirically-based screening programs became less and less
important in the drug industry as the knowledge base grew
for rational drug design. Drug discovery and development is
an iterative process which begins with the identification of
lead compounds. In this context, the conventional approach
is challenging, time consuming, expensive and requires
consideration of many aspects that have negative impact on
pharmaceutical industries. The use of computational
technology, so-called insilico, in drug discovery and
development has now surpassed the conventional approach.
The insilico approach estimates potential biological activity
and druggability of new leads without having to undergo the
costly and tedious wet conventional experiments. Thus, the
insilico approach facilitates drug discovery efficiently where
the target protein, and thus biological activity, could be
predicted at early stage expediting the time required for the
discovery process. Sydnone and its derivatives, show various
pharmacological activity and antimicrobial properties [1-3].
Particularly thiazolidine ring exhibits bactericidal,
antifungal, anticonvulsant, anti-HIV, antituberculotic, non-
nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-RT and anti-histaminic agents.
Pyrazole and pyrazoline are reported to possess wide range
of biological activities such as antiamoebic, analgesic, anti-
inflammatory, anti-convulsant, antidepressant, hypotensive,
cytotoxic, anticancer and antioxidant. Pyrazoles have been
used extensively as ligands in the field of coordination
chemistry and catalysis [4-14]. In the present study we have
evaluated and discussed about the bioactivity and molecular
properties of organic crystalline compounds of sydnone,
pyrazole and pyrazoline derivatives.
2. Materials and Methods
By applying computational methods, the various
physicochemical features and pharmacokinetic descriptors
were calculated for some selected organic crystalline
compounds through the online tool Molinspiration
Cheminformatics server[15-17]. The structures of all the
organic crystalline structures given as Figure 1-10 were
taken from the reported literature.
