Abstract

Background: The lead compounds from the series of 2, 4-disubstituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives were selected for the in-silico mechanistic study. The compounds were found selective and potent for the cancer cell. Moreover, the relevant ADME in-silico data also support the safety of lead.

Objective: The objective of the study is to correlate the interaction of DNA and quinoline derivative, which was reported with the fluorescence microscopy images of cells in-vitro data in the recently published data.

Methods: The detailed interaction study with the DNA dodecanucleotide sequenced d(CGCGAATTCGCG) shows the present lead bounds with the A/T minor groove region of a B-DNA duplex through the important major and minor hydrogen bonds.

Results: The present in-silico study supports the interactions of the drug with DNA with sufficient binding interactions and energy. The present study also gives vital information related to the mechanism of drug action, which was initially declared as a DNA targeting molecule through a fluorescence-based target study.

Conclusion: The substitution at 2nd position (the carbonyl group) of the lead revealed as a hydrogen bond donor/acceptor for adenine and guanine nucleic acid-base pair. The in-silico prediction also confirmed the interaction pattern of the lead with the DNA, which will be further utilized for drug development.

Keywords: DNA interaction, minor groove binding agent, anti-cancer drug, quinoline, in silico interaction, heterocyclic moiety.
