In vitro and computational study demonstrates potent hemorheological efficacy of a novel furoxan derivative, indicating its potential for cardioprotective therapeutics.

Key Points

To characterize the molecular structure, electronic properties, and therapeutic potential of a novel furoxan derivative formed through an unexpected chemical reaction of 3-acetyl-2,4,6-trimethylpyridine.
Synthesized the target molecule via a pseudo-multicomponent reaction cascade during attempted nitration, confirming the structure using NMR, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
Conducted density functional theory (DFT) computations at the ωB97X-D/6-311++G(d,p) level, in silico target profiling via PASS Online, and molecular docking against three human MMP-9 crystallographic domains.
Evaluated functional hemorheological performance against reference drug pentoxifylline using an in vitro blood hyperviscosity model.
DFT calculations rationalized experimental crystallographic disorder via thermodynamic near-degeneracy of isomers (ΔG < 0.63 kcal/mol) and highlighted substantial kinetic stability (ΔE = 8.13–8.27 eV; η = 4.07–4.14 eV).
Molecular docking verified favorable binding within the catalytic pocket of MMP-9 with ligand efficiency values ranging from 0.26 to 0.29 kcal/mol/heavy atom.
In vitro blood assays confirmed that compound 5 significantly prevented increases in blood viscosity, outperforming the standard reference drug pentoxifylline.
