Background: Entry inhibitors prevent binding of human immunodeficiency virus protein to the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and are used along with conventional anti-HIV therapy. They aid in restoring immunity and can prevent the development of HIV-TB co-infection Aim: In the present study various thiazolidinone-pyrazine derivatives earlier studied for NNRT inhibition activity were gauged for their entry inhibitor potential. Objective: Objective of the study is to perform molecular docking, ADME, toxicity studies of some Thiazolidinone-Pyrazine Derivatives as entry inhibitors targeting CXCR4 co-receptors. Methods: In-silico docking studies were performed using AutoDock Vina software and compounds were further studied for ADME and toxicity using SwissADME and pkCSM software respectively. Results: Taking into consideration the docking results, pharmacokinetic behaviour and toxicity profile four molecules (compound 1, 9, 11 and 16) have shown potential as entry inhibitors. Conclusion: These compounds have shown potential as both NNRTI and entry inhibitors and hence can be used in management of immune compromised diseases like TB-HIV coinfection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
