Background: About 50 million epileptic cases worldwide and 12 million in India are re-ported. Currently, available drugs yield adequate control of seizure in 60-70% of patients and show many toxic effects. These actualities provoked the search for novel, more efficacious and safer anti-convulsants. Objective: The concatenation of 2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yloxy)-N'-[substituted]-acetohydrazides SA 1-10 was designed by molecular hybridization, optimized by computational study and synthesized with the objective of obtaining a prototype of potent anticonvulsant molecules especially active against partial seizures. Methods: Computational study was performed to calculate the pharmacophoric design, projection of the pharmacokinetic parameters and docking scores of the titled compounds with molecular targets of epilepsy. The anticonvulsant activity was ascertained by 6 Hz psychomotor seizure test. Minimal motor impairment showing neurotoxicity was assessed using the Rotarod test. Results: Titled compounds possessed the indispensable elements of pharmacophore and displayed good binding affinity with molecular targets of epilepsy, such as GABA (A) alpha-1 & delta receptor, glutamate receptor, Na+/H+ exchanger and GABA-aminotransferase in docking studies. The most potent compound of the concatenation was 2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yloxy)-N'-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)benzylidene]-acetohydrazide SA 4, showing 100% protection at four different time points with ED50 value 146.8 mg/kg at a TPE of 1 h in mice. Conclusion: The protection shown in 6 Hz test is implicated as the compound's ability to control partial seizures. Thus, the titled compounds can be considered as potential prototype candidates for antiepileptic therapy against partial seizures.

The marine natural product neopeltolide was isolated from a deep-water sponge specimen of the family Neopeltidae. Neopeltolide has been proven to be a new type of inhibitor of the cytochrome bc1 complex in the mitochondrial respiration chain. However, its detailed inhibition mechanism has remained unknown. In addition, neopeltolide is difficult to synthesize because of its very complex chemical structure. In the present work, the binding mode of neopeltolide was determined for the first time by integrating molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area calculations, which showed that neopeltolide is a Qo site inhibitor of the bc1 complex. Then, according to guidance via inhibitor-protein interaction analysis, structural modification was carried out with the aim to simplify the chemical structure of neopeltolide, leading to the synthesis of a series of new neopeltolide derivatives with much simpler chemical structures. The calculated binding energies (ΔGcal) of the newly synthesized analogues correlated very well (R2 = 0.90) with their experimental binding free energies (ΔGexp), which confirmed that the computational protocol was reliable. Compound 45, bearing a diphenyl ether fragment, was successfully designed and synthesized as the most potent candidate (IC50 = 12 nM) against porcine succinate cytochrome c reductase. The molecular modeling results indicate that compound 45 formed a π-π interaction with Phe274 and two hydrogen bonds with Glu271 and His161. The present work provides a new starting point for future fungicide discovery to overcome the resistance that the existing bc1 complex inhibitors are facing.
