Resumo

Objetivo: O presente estudo avaliou os seguintes ácidos cafeoilquínicos, ácido Neo-clorogênico (3-CQA), ácido Cripto-clorogênico (4-CQA), ácido Clorogênico (5-CQA), ácido Isoclorogênico A (3,5-DCQA) ácido isoclorogênico B (3,4-DCQA) e ácido isoclorogênico C (4,5-DCQA) encontrados na própolis verde brasileira, quanto às suas características físico-químicas, farmacocinéticas e conformacionais. Além disso, os compostos foram estudados quanto a ação farmacológica de tantativa de inibir o alvo SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, e uma proteína envolvida na infecção por SARS-Cov-2. Métodos: As propriedades físico-químicas e farmacocinéticas foram obtidas a partir das estruturas em projeto 2D dos respectivos compostos. As características conformacionais obtidas a partir dos modelos tridimensionais foram submetidas à otimização geométrica por mecânica molecular sob campo de força MMFF94, posteriormente foi realizado o cálculo das cargas atômicas parciais empregando a metodologia semi-empírica AM1. O encaixe molecular foi realizado e a proteína foi carregada no PDB Data Bank (PDB ID 6LU7). Resultados: Os resultados físico-químicos e farmacocinéticos indicam que esses fitoquímicos possuem potencial de médio a baixo para absorção no trato gastrointestinal, principalmente em relação aos valores de LogP, e violaram alguns critérios de druglikeness. No entanto, o docking molecular mostrou que os compostos 3-CQA, 4-CQA, 5-CQA, 3,5-DCQA, 3,4-DCQA e 4,5-DCQA potencialmente se ligam ao sítio ativo do SARS-CoV-2 Mpro , através de complexos de estábulos, com pontuação de docking de -6,44, -6,11, -6,48, -6,26, -7,01 e -7,40 kcal/mol, respectivamente. Conclusão: Os parâmetros físico-químicos e farmacocinéticos, assim como a formação de ligações de hidrogênio, carga energética, indicam que os compostos com maior potencial terapêutico são 5-CQA, 3,4-DCQA e 4,5-DCQA, porém este estudo necessita de mais validação experimental in vivo e in vitro.
