Description

Tacrine was originally used as a palliative treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). But early applications soon revealed a number of its side effects on human health. That's why we decided to examine the effectiveness of novel tacrine derivatives known for their potent inhibition of GluN2B-NMDA receptors, to discover the leading candidates for treating AD in terms of safety and molecular stability towards NMDA receptors. As a result, CoMFA and CoMSIA models were generated using 3D-QSAR study, indicating that Electrostatic, Hydrophobic, and Steric fields have a vital function in the NMDAR-antagonizing activities. The pharmacokinetics properties of in-silico ADME-Toxicity confirm the safety of C24 and C27 compounds, which were discovered to be free from any skin allergy toxicity and hepatotoxic effects, and would be able to passively break through the blood-brain barrier and ultimately penetrate the central nervous system with a good level of absorption. Both non-toxic inhibitors interact specifically with the main active sites of NMDA receptor (5EWJ.pdb), with an excellent level of molecular stability during 100 ns of molecular dynamics simulation time.
