description | Molecules sourced from marine environments hold immense promise for the development of novel therapeutic drugs, owing to their distinctive chemical compositions and valuable medicinal attributes. Notably, Talarolide A and Talaropeptides A–D have gained recent attention as potential candidates for pharmaceutical applications. This study aims to explore the chemical reactivity of Talarolide A and Talaropeptides A–D through the application of molecular modeling and computational chemistry techniques, specifically employing Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT). By investigating their chemical behaviors, the study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the potential pharmacological uses of these marine-derived compounds. The molecular geometry optimizations and frequency calculations were conducted using the Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTBA) method. This was followed by a subsequent round of geometry optimization, frequency analysis, and computation of electronic properties and chemical reactivity descriptors. We employed the MN12SX/Def2TZVP/H2O model chemistry, utilizing the Gaussian 16 program and the SMD solvation model. The analysis of the global reactivity descriptors arising from CDFT was achieved as well as the graphical comparison of the dual descriptor DD revealing the areas of the molecules with more propensity to suffer a nucleophilic or electrophilic attack. Additionally, Molinspiration and SwissTargetPrediction were considered for the calculation of molecular characteristics and predicted biological targets. These include enzymes, nuclear receptors, kinase inhibitors, GPCR ligands, and ion channel modulators. The graphical results show that Talarolide A and the Talaropeptides A–D are likely to behave as protease inhibitors. |
