Actes du Premier Congrès International de l’ Arganier, Agadir 15 - 17 Décembre 2011 429 Virtual POM Screening of Boswellic Acids as Analogues of Arganines A-K extracted from Argania spinosa Abstract Several analogues of natural saponins (Arganines A-K) have been semi-synthesized [1] by modifying the substituents at different positions of the carbon skeleton; in order to elucidate the structural role of this drug’s ketonic/ester/alcohol functionalized groups. By using a virtual screening, we studied the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties and the toxic effects of these molecules. In present work, we have amalgamated three programs Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration (POM) for theoretical prediction studies of the anti-Cancer activity. The results reveal that the modification of the original molecule (Arganine) at those functionalized groups change significantly the biologicalA activity of the molecule. Keywords: Bioinformatics, virtual screening, pharmacophore sites, saponins, Argania spinosa, Natural Boswellic acids. Introduction Pharmacologically, saponins family is the most important class of organic compounds that has been extracted from Argania spinosa L. tree of Agadir at Morocco. Unfortunately, it received less interest than it deserves. In this communication, we will compare with similar patented saponins derivatives (Natural Boswellic acids). The present investigation relates to pharmaceutical evaluation of compounds of general formula 1 with anticancerous activity.

Results and discussion Antitumoral screening of Boswellic acids All boswellic acids (A)-(F) are derived semi-synthetically from natural triterpenoic acids known as boswellic acids by the induction of apoptosis there of cytotoxicity and anti-cancer activity displayed by semi-synthetic analogues of natural triterpenes, known as Boswellic acids [1]. These compounds may be used for the treatment of cancer of colon, prostrate, liver, breast, central nervous system (CNS), leukemia (Tables 1 & 2) and malignancy of other tissues, including ascites and solid tumors [1].

One very important class of enzymes, responsible for many ADMET problems, is the cytochromes P450. Inhibition of these or production of unwanted metabolites can result in many adverse drug reactions. Of the most important program, Osiris is already available online. With our recent publication of the drug design combination of various pharmacophore sites [9-15], by using heterocyclic structure, it is now possible to predict activity and /or inhibition with increasing success in two targets (bacteria and HIV virus). This is done using a combined electronic/structure docking procedure and an example will be given here. The remarkably well behaved mutagenicity of divers synthetic molecules classified in data base of CELERON Company of Switerzland can be used to quantify the role played by various organic groups in promoting or interfering with the way a drug can associate with DNA. Toxicity risks (mutagenicity, tumorogenicity, irritation, reproduction) and physicochemical properties (ClogP, solubility, drug-likness and drug-score) of compounds (A)-(F) are calculated by the methodology developed by Osiris as a sum of fragment-based contributions and correction factors (Table 3 & Figure 3). Figure 3. Bioavailability evaluation and toxicity risks determination by using POM suite [2]. Actes du Premier Congrès International de l’ Arganier, Agadir 15 - 17 Décembre 2011 431 Molinspiration calculations CLogP (octanol/water partition coefficient) is calculated by the methodology developed by Molinspiration as a sum of fragment-based contributions and correction factors. The method is very robust and is able to process practically all organic and most organometallic molecules [9-15]. Molecular Polar Surface Area TPSA is calculated based on the methodology published by Ertl et al. as a sum of fragment contributions. O- and N- centered polar fragments are considered. PSA has been shown to be a very good descriptor characterizing drug absorption, including intestinal absorption, bioavailability, Caco-2 permeability and blood-brain barrier penetration. Prediction results of compounds and molecular properties (CLogP, TPSA, GPCR ligand and ICM) are valued (Tables 3 & 4). Table 3. Osiris calculations of compounds (A)-(F).

Therefore we calculated log P and PSA values for compounds (A)-(F) using molinspiration software programs and compared them to the values obtained for standard market available drugs. In contrast to all compounds, for compound (C), the calculated log P value is lower than 5, which is the upper limit for drugs to be able to penetrate through biomembranes according to Lipinski’s rules. The polar surface area (PSA) is calculated from the surface areas that are occupied by oxygen and nitrogen atoms and by hydrogen atoms attached to them. Thus, the PSA is closely related to the hydrogen bonding potential of a compound. Molecules with PSAs of 140 Å or more are expected to exhibit poor intestinal absorption. The toxicity risk predictor locates fragments within a molecule which indicate a potential toxicity risk. Toxicity risk alerts are an indication that the drawn structure may be harmful concerning the risk category specified. From the data evaluated in Table 4 indicate that, all structures are supposed to be mutagenic when run through the mutagenicity assessment system but as far as irritating and reproductive effects are concerned, all the compounds are at low risk comparable with standard drugs used. The log P value of a compound, which is the logarithm of its partition coefficient between n-octanol and water, is a well established measure of the compound’s Hydrophilicity. Low Hydrophilicity and therefore high log P values may cause poor absorption or permeation. It has been shown for compounds to have a reasonable probability of being well absorb their log P value must not be greater than 5.0. On this basis, all the series is having log P values under the acceptable criteria. Along with this, compound (C) which has shown good antitumoral screening results is having low log p values as compared to other compounds in the series. The aqueous solubility of a compound significantly affects its absorption and distribution characteristics. Typically, a low solubility goes along with a bad absorption and therefore the general aim is to avoid poorly soluble compounds. Actes du Premier Congrès International de l’ Arganier, Agadir 15 - 17 Décembre 2011 432 Our estimated log S value is a unit stripped logarithm (base 10) of a compound’s solubility measured in mol/liter. There are more than 80% of the drugs on the market have an (estimated) log S value greater than -4. In case of compound (A)-(F), values of log S are low as compared to others published series. Further, the Table 4 shows drug likeness of compounds (A)-(F) which is not in the comparable zone with that of standard drugs. The drug score combines drug likeness, clogP, logs, molecular weight and toxicity risks in one handy value than may be used to judge the compound’s overall potential to qualify for a drug. The reported compounds (A)-(F) showed moderate to good drug score. Table 4. Molinspiration calculations of molecular properties and drug-likness of natural Boswellic acids (A)-(F). Compd.

As recapitulation, we can say that the understanding of this situation of various bioactivities of saponins of Argania spinosa is easy to interpret for the structural pharmacophore site in right face to which should added a supplementary pharmacophore site in left face. Conclusion The results of present investigation support the suggested antitumoral pharmacophore sites of boswellic acids. It has been suggested that the combination of two functional groups such as two carboxylates or a carboxylate with hydroxyl groups present in these compounds are “pharmacophoric” in nature. On the other hand, the rest of substituents (methyl substituents) increase the hydrophobic character and liposolubility of the molecules. This in turn, enhances activity of the compounds and biological absorbance, so as, all the semi-synthesized boswellic acids could be oxidized on double bond and lead to new series containing more than one pharmacophore site have better pharmaceutical properties.
