In-silico computational analysis of [6-(2, 3-Dichlorophenyl)-1, 2, 4Triazine-3, 5-Diamine] metal complexes on voltage gated sodium channel and dihydrofolate reductase enzyme

Abstract

Epilepsy is the disease associated with seizures and convulsions. Various antiepileptic drugs have been used widely to treat these disorders. Lamotrigine [6-(2,3-Dichlorophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diamine] shows certain adverse effects at small doses, to evaluate its efficacy lamotrigine schiff based metal complexes were screened in-silico at voltage gated sodium channel for antiepileptic effect and dihydrofolate reductase enzyme for anticancer activity. Post docking analysis revealed that lamotrigine shows greater antiepileptic effect with its Schiff base complex of tin, with greater binding affinities on voltage gated sodium channel. However, anticancer effect of lamotrigine with its Schiff base silver complex shows highest binding affinity on dihydrofolate reductase enzyme. Study concluded that Schiff base derivative and its metal complexes express significant binding interactions with voltage gated sodium channel and dihydrofolate reductase enzyme.
