Dataset for Computer-aided rational design and synthesis of new potential antihypertensive agents among 1,2,3-triazole-containing nifedipine analogs

1,2,3-Triazole-containing Nifedipine analogues offer the opportunity to increase biostability, bioavailability, efficacy and binding selectivity to target receptors. Here, we applied a computer-aided rational design for identifying new Nifedipine analogues containing a 1,2,3-triazole moiety. First, a new chemical library of 796 derivatives combining the DHP fragment and 1,2,3-triazole moiety was generated. Second, to reduce the library size, the library was pre-filtered using two 3D-pharmacophore models with different complexity, which allowed us to gradually reduce the chemical space, ending up with 26 hit candidates. Molecular docking calculations against the rCav1.1 receptor allowed the identification of eight derivatives 5a-h, characterized by the binding affinity towards the rCav1.1 receptor of the same level as approved Nifedipine-like drugs. Next, our molecular docking results were used to guide and optimize the retrosynthetic approaches for new analogues of Nifedipine as promising antihypertensive agents. So, a retrosynthetic approach for Nifedipine analogues with a 1,2,3-triazole ring in position 4 was proposed. Finally, eight analogues 5a-h determined by molecular docking calculations were synthesized using the suggested retrosynthetic approach.
