Synthesis, molecular properties and comparative docking and QSAR of new 2-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetic acid derivatives as possible anticancer agents

Abstract Novel coumarin amino acid derivatives were synthesized. The structure of synthesized compounds has established on basis of different spectral data. The optimization geometry, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), thermodynamic parameters and chemical reactivity, were discussed using DFT\B3LYP by 6-311G* basis set, to identify a clear view for inter and intramolecular interaction of tested compounds. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) has plotted to investigate a recognition manner of synthesized compounds upon COX-2 receptor. All tested compounds showed a promising (NLOs) nonlinear optical properties. Bond dissociation energy (BDE) has studied to investigate a potency of these molecules against autoxidation mechanism Polynomial molecular docking logarithms have performed into the COX-2 active site for tested compounds. The docking protocol that has low RMSD has selected for discussion the binding affinity. The compounds with a high docking score 3 , 4 , 6 – 8 , 10 and 11 were selected for additional study against ADMET insilico, which showed that these compounds are a good oral bioavailability without observed carcinogenesis affect. The compounds ( 3 , 4 , 6 – 8 , 10 and 11 ) which that passed through docking and ADMET profile have examined their potency against (MCF-7) breast cancer cell in vitro. The compound 7 showed a highest potency against MCF-7 with IC 50 value 0.39 μM. The QSAR model has created to discover the structural necessity inhibition of MCF-7. The derived QSAR model has a statistically significant with a good predictive power.
