ABSTRACT
Wide spectrum of anti-microbial activities of 4-thiazolidinones is due to the
binding of thaizolidine nucleus on murA-G ligase enzyme. A series of 4-
thaizolidinones compounds are taken and molecular docking studies were
performed using Molegro Virtual Docker on Pdb code – 2Y1O. Common
amino acid bindings are observed in the most active compound of the series
4g shows similar amino acid binding as mentioned in pdb data base.
OBJECTIVES
Commercially available anti-microbial drugs are effective and widely used
for the treatment of microbial infections but due to the increase in number of
multi-drug resistant microbial pathogens, there is a need to look forward for
new and potent antimicrobials. This is a small step towards the development
of new 4-thaizolidinone analogous by docking based drug design approach.
MATERIALAND METHODS
In this pathway Mur ligase enzymes are most suitable target for the
development of new class of antimicrobials. On that basis we choose a pdb
of E. coli and S. Aureus organism having ligase enzyme (Pdb code: 2Y1O)
and perform molecular docking studies of the series. The chemical
structures were drawn on ChemDraw Ultra 8.0 and convert into 3D
structure by Chem3D Ultra 8.0. Energy minimization is done by Molecular
Mechanics 2 and Molecular Orbital Packaging followed by docking
process, done by Molegro Virtual Docker -5.
