Abstract
A series of new heteroleptic oxovanadium(IV) complexes with the general formula [VOL1-6(Dcf)] (1-6), where L1-6 = thiosemicarbazone (TSC)-based ligands and Dcf = diclofenac have been synthesized and characterized. The spectral studies along with the density functional theory calculations evidenced the distorted square-pyramidal geometry around oxovanadium(IV) ion through imine nitrogen and thione sulfur atoms of TSC moiety, and two asymmetric carboxylate oxygen atoms of diclofenac drug. The complexes were evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity using 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide radical scavenging assays with respect to the standard antioxidant drugs butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and rutin. The in vitro antidiabetic activity of the complexes was tested with enzymes such as α-amylase, α-glucosidase and glucose-6-phosphatase. The complexes containing methyl substituent showed higher activity than that containing the nitro substituent due to the electron-donating effect of methyl group. The in silico molecular docking studies of the oxovanadium(IV) complexes with α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes showed strong interaction via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The dynamic behavior of the proposed complexes was analyzed by molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations, which revealed the stability of docked structures with α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. The in silico physicochemical and pharmacokinetics parameters, such as Lipinski's 'rule of five', Veber's rule and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties predicted non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and safe oral administration of the synthesized complexes.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
