Synthesis and studies of new purines/pyrimidine derivatives as multi-targeted agents involving various receptor sites in the immune system

Pro-inflammation, which is developed due to the increased production of cytokines, mainly interleukin-6 (IL-6), during the working of immune system pathways, becomes a major concern these days for many researchers. So, it is desired to design, screen, and synthesize new molecules with multi-parametric features showing their efficacy for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inhibiting the disease-causing receptor sites like viral infections, cancers, etc. along with controlling inflammation, fever, and other side effects during such pathways. Further, looking at the literature, curcumin a multi-targeted agent is showing its efficiency toward various receptor sites involved in many diseases as mentioned above. This fascinated us to build up new molecules which behave like curcumin with minimum side effects. In silico studies, involving ADMET studies, toxicological data, and docking analyses, of newly synthesized compounds (3–5) along with tautomers of curcumin i.e., (1–2), and some reported compounds like 9 and 10 have been studied in detail. Great emphasis has been made on analyzing binding energies, protein–ligand structural interactions, stabilization of newly synthesized molecules against various selected receptor sites using such computational tools. Compound 3 is the most efficient multifunctional agent, which has shown its potential toward most of the receptor sites in docking analysis. It has also responded well in Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation toward 5ZLN, 4RJ3, 4YO9, 4YOJ, and 1I1R sites. Finally, studies were extended to understand in vitro anti-inflammatory activity for particularly compound 3 in comparison to diclofenac and curcumin, which signifies the efficiency of compound 3.
