Prediction of In-silico Physicochemical Properties and Molecular Docking Studies of Dihydroartemisinin Derivatives for Antimalarial Activity against protein target Dihydropteroate Synthase
One of the most dangerous and pervasive parasitic diseases in the underdeveloped world is still malaria. In 2022, there was 241 million malaria cases and 6,27,000 deaths were reported worldwide. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical-chemical, pharmacokinetic parameters (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) and pharmacodynamic parameters (bioactivity and adverse reactions) of artemisinin as a pharmacophore by means of in-silico computational prediction. Online software such as Pre-ADMET, Molinspiration and Rule of Five were used for the analysis. In-silico results allow us to conclude that substituted artemisinin is predicted to be a potential future drug candidate, due to its relevant Drug-likeness profile, bioavailability, excellent liposolubility and adequate pharmacokinetics, including at the level of CNS, penetrating the blood-brain barrier. Molecular docking studies of 40 designed compounds have also been performed to screen the inhibitory activity towards against protein target Dihydropteroate Synthase (PDB: 1AJ0). Compound D19 and D31 showed strong bonding interaction with GLY29, GLY32, THR97, GLY99, PHE100, THR101 and ASN140 amino acids with high hydrogen bond affinity and best Moldock score-169.698 and - 204.1319 respectively.
