    Abstract:
    We have performed: (i) conformational analysis of two novel cytotoxic C2-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinolines 5e and 5g in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-d(6)) utilizing NOE results from NMR spectroscopy; (ii) molecular dynamics (MD) calculations in water, DMSO and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayers and (iii) molecular docking and MD calculations on DNA nucleotide sequences. The obtained results for the two similar in structure molecules showed differences in: (i) their conformational properties in silico and in media that reasonably simulate the biological environment; (ii) the way they are incorporated into the lipid bilayers and therefore their diffusion ability and (iii) molecular docking capacity as it is depicted from their different binding scores.
