Novel Trimethoprim-Based Metal Complexes and Nanoparticle Functionalization: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Anticancer Properties by Abbas M. Abbas, Hossam H. Nasrallah, A. Aboelmagd, W. Christopher Boyd, Haitham Kalil, Adel S. Orabi

“…Pharmacokinetic parameters and target enzymes for HD and its complexes were computed using the SwissADME web tool, with the BOILED-Egg model indicating that HD and its Cu complex should be passively permeable via the blood-brain barrier and highly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), unlike the Ni, Co, Ag, and Zn complexes, which are predicted to show low GIT absorption. Molecular docking studies with the Caspase-3 enzyme (PDB code: 3GJQ) using the AutoDock 4.2 software demonstrated binding energies of −7.66, −8.36, −9.05, −8.62, −6.90, and −7.81 kcal/mol for HD and the Cu, Co, Ni, Ag, and Zn complexes, respectively, compared to −6.54 and −4.63 kcal/mol for TMP and 5-FU (5-fluorouracil), indicating a potential superior anticancer potential of the novel compounds. …”
