Design, synthesis, molecular docking, and anticancer activity of benzoxazole derivatives as VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

TL;DR: Novel series of benzoxazoles 4a‐f‐16 was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity against HepG2, HCT‐116, and MCF‐7 cells, finding compound 5e was found to be the most potent against hepatitis B cells with IC50 values of 5.93 ± 0.5 µM, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation Revealed the Potential Inhibitory Activity of ACEIs Against SARS-CoV-2 Targeting the h ACE2 Receptor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered drug repurposing as an attractive approach that can facilitate the drug discovery process by reusing existing pharmaceuticals to treat illnesses other than their primary indications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and in vitro studies reveal the potential of angiotensin II receptor blockers to inhibit the COVID-19 main protease.

TL;DR: A virtual screening for almost all members of ARBs against COVID-19 main protease to give a clear spot on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) required for the future design of new drugs targeting the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 protease by medicinal chemists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of tanshinone IIA, carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid, baicalein, and glycyrrhetinic acid between computational and in vitro insights

TL;DR: Six compounds were screened for their anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities against both the spike (S) and main protease (Mpro) receptors using molecular docking studies and showed very promising virucidal activity with a most prominent inhibitory effect on viral adsorption rather than its replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benzoxazole/benzothiazole-derived VEGFR-2 inhibitors: Design, synthesis, molecular docking, and anticancer evaluations.

TL;DR: A novel series of benzoxazole/benzothiazole derivatives 4a–c–11a–e was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity against HepG2, HCT‐116, and MCF‐7 cells, with compound 4c found to be the most potent derivative.
