Abstract

Objective: The reason for the failure of most of the anti-HIV drugs are their poor pharmacokinetics, the poor risk to benefit ratio and the drug resistance. With the objective of developing newer pyrazole scaffolds for effective treatment of HIV, binding mode analysis of designing ligands with the HIV-1RT protein and prediction of key ADME and toxicity parameters of the compounds was in an area of interest.

Methods: In this study, molecular docking studies and ADME-T studies were carried out in designing of some novel pyrazole analogs. The protein (PDB ID: 1RT2) was prepared using the Protein Preparation Wizard (Schrodinger Glide 5.0). ADME parameters calculated by QikProp 3.0v and toxicity of designed analogs checked by using two different online software's namely Lazar and protox.

Results: Most of the designed pyrazole analogs have good oral absorption as well as good binding affinity towards HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

Conclusion: Finally total 5 analogs (SGS-2, 3, 12, 13 and 14) from the 14 designed leads were found to be best on the basis of molecular docking and ADME-T studies.
