Item Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modelling studies of indole glyoxylamides as a new class of potential pancreatic lipase inhibitors(Elsevier, 2019-04) Paul, Atish TulshiramA series of eighteen indole glyoxylamide analogues were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. Porcine pancreatic lipase (Type II) was used with 4-nitrophenyl butyrate (as substrate) for the in vitro assay. Compound 8f exhibited competitive inhibition against pancreatic lipase with IC50 value of 4.92 µM, comparable to that of the standard drug, orlistat (IC50 = 0.99 µM). Compounds 7a-i and 8a-i were subjected to molecular docking into the active site of human PL (PDB ID: 1LPB) wherein compound 8f possessed a potential MolDock score of −153.037 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulation of 8f complexed with pancreatic lipase, confirmed the role of aromatic substitution in stabilizing the ligand through hydrophobic interactions (maximum observed RMSD = 3.5 Å).Item Synthesis, evaluation and molecular modelling studies of 2-(carbazol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide analogues as a new class of potential pancreatic lipase inhibitors(Elsevier, 2017-01) Kumar, Dalip; Paul, Atish TulshiramA series of twenty four 2-(carbazol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide analogues were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory activity. Porcine PL was used against 4-nitrophenyl butyrate (method A) and tributyrin (methods B and C) as substrates during the PL inhibition assay. Compounds 7e, 7f and 7p exhibited potential PL inhibitory activity (IC50 values of 6.31, 8.72 and 9.58 μM, respectively in method A; and Xi50 of 21.85, 21.94 and 26.2, respectively in method B). Further, inhibition kinetics of 7e, 7f and 7p against PL, using method A, revealed their competitive nature of inhibition. A comparison of the inhibition profiles of the top three compounds in methods B and C, provided a preliminary idea of covalent bonding of the compounds with Ser 152 of PL. Molecular docking studies of the compounds 7a–x into the active site of human PL (PDB ID: 1LPB) was in agreement with the in vitro results, and highlighted probable covalent bond formation with Ser 152 apart from hydrophobic interactions with the lid domain. Molecular dynamics simulation of 7e complexed with PL, further confirmed the role of aromatic groups in stabilising the ligand (RMSD ⩽ 4 Å). The present study led to the identification of 2-(carbazol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide analogues 7a–x as a new class of potential PL inhibitors.
