Abstract

Aim: There is a necessity for new drugs to be more efficient than today's standard due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Results/methodology: 12 new isoniazid-based adamantane derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antitubercular activity. The pharmacological test results and the aqueous dissolution profile of representative examples of the new molecules are in agreement with the computational results obtained from docking poses and molecular dynamics simulations on the tested compounds. Conclusion: Among their congeners, the adamantane isonicotinoyl hydrazones Ia and Ih exhibit the best antitubercular activity (MIC = 0.04 mu g/ml) and the lowest cytotoxicity (selectivity index >= 2500). These results are useful for in future in vivo studies.

Computational chemistry
Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses computer simulation to assist in solving chemical problems. It uses methods of theoretical chemistry, incorporated into computer programs, to calculate the structures and properties of molecules, groups of molecules, and solids. It is essential because, apart from relatively recent results concerning the hydrogen molecular ion (dihydrogen cation, see references therein for more details), the quantum many-body problem cannot be solved analytically, much less in closed form.
Computational science
Computational science, also known as scientific computing, technical computing or scientific computation (SC), is a division of science that uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex physical problems. This includes Algorithms (numerical and non-numerical): mathematical models, computational models, and computer simulations developed to solve sciences (e.
Computational physics
Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical analysis to solve problems in physics. Historically, computational physics was the first application of modern computers in science, and is now a subset of computational science. It is sometimes regarded as a subdiscipline (or offshoot) of theoretical physics, but others consider it an intermediate branch between theoretical and experimental physics - an area of study which supplements both theory and experiment.
