In order to increase the binding energy with haemaglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), to improve the membrane permeability and to increase antiviral activity, modified structures of didanosine (ddI) were designed by phosphorylation and substitution with various bio-active amines. The designed derivatives revealed better binding energy values (in between -7.9 and -10.6 kcal/mol) than ddI (-7.3 kcal/ mol) with HN of NDV. The docking simulations were encouraged for synthesis and screening of their antiviral activity against NDV in the chicken embryonated eggs. In vitro antibacterial activity is also evaluated for the title compounds. The title compounds exhibited three times of improved antiviral activity than that of the parent compound (ddI). In addition to this the title compounds were performed as good antibacterial agents.
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.
