Popis: A systematic in-silico study based on molecular modeling techniques was conducted on thirty 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine sulfonamides derivatives to identify the drug candidate for treating schizophrenia and impairments associated with NMDA receptor hypofunction, through selective and competitive inhibition of GlyT1. QSAR analysis demonstrates that geometric and constitutional descriptors have a key function in human GlyT1 activity. The in-silico study concluded that the most active ligand labeled C19 was predicted to be a non-toxic inhibitor, with a desired ADME-Toxicity profile and a significant probability to penetrate the central nervous system (CNS). Molecular docking simulations confirmed that the C19 compound was docked to the active sites of drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter (DAT) protein, creating a variety of chemical bonds towards TYR 124, ASP 475, GLU 480, ALA 479, and VAL 120 amino acids residues. The molecular dynamic (MD) technique combined with the MMGBSA approach confirmed that produced intermolecular interactions for the (DAT protein–C19 ligand) complex remain so stable during 100 ns of MD simulation time. Consequently, the C19 ligand is highly recommended for the treatment of schizophrenia and other disabilities linked to the hypofunction of glutaminergic NMDA receptors.
