ABSTRACT
Pyrazoles are biologically important derivatives for various pharmacological activities. The
study aims to evaluate the potency of designed pyrazole derivatives for theiranti-bacterial
activity against the active site of bacterial DNA gyrase using autodock4.2.6. The threedimensional crystal structure of the DNA gyrase (PDB Id: 4URM) was retrieved from the
RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB), the amino acid residues interacting with co-crystallized
ligand were used as active site. The compounds 1c and 3c with respective binding energy of -
9.12kcal/mol (Ki 948.07nM) and 8.12 kcal/mol (Ki 706.03nM) were ranked top as bacterial
DNA gyrase inhibitors. The interacting amino acid residues were visualized using Discovery
Studio 3.5 to elucidate the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional interactions. The study was
validated by i) re-docking the designed ligands with DNA gyrase ii) docking decoy ligands to
DNA gyrase. The ligands that showed low binding energy were further predicted for and
pharmacokinetic properties and Lipinski’s rule of 5 and the results are tabulated and
discussed.
