The current study aimed investigate the inhibitory activity of Albizia lucidior procera leaves against acetylcholinesterase enzyme in vitro explore their chemical compositions. Metabolic profiling bioactive plant, A. lucidior, via UHPLC/MS/MS-based Molecular Networking highlighted richness its ethanolic extract with budmunchiamine alkaloids, fourteen alkaloids as well four putative ones were tentatively identified for first time lucidior. Pursuing these fractions molecular networking revealed that mainly concentrated ethyl acetate fraction. In agreement, alkaloid-rich fraction showed most promising anticholinesterase (IC50 5.26 µg/mL) versus 24.89 6.90 µg/mL, respectively), compared donepezil 3.90 µg/mL). Furthermore, deep silico studies performed. Notably, normethyl K superior stability receptor binding affinity two used references: co-crystallized inhibitor (MF2 700). This was concluded based on docking, dynamics simulations mechanics generalized born/solvent accessibility (MM–GBSA) calculations.

Herein we report the synthesis of organic selenide-based maleanilic and succinanilic acids in good yields (up to 95%). Their structural identities were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques (e.g., IR, 1H- & 13C-NMR, MS). The ADMET analysis, molecule electrostatic potential map, DFT, frontier molecular orbital used study organoselenium compounds’ pharmacokinetics, drug-likeness characteristics, geometries, chemical electronic properties. Moreover, a docking tool was employed investigate selenides’ ability inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro target (PDB: 7BFB). Within this context, selenides exhibited promising binding affinities receptor following order (12 > 11 10 9 7 8).
