In this study, we have amalgamated computational methodologies, viz. Petra, Osiris and Molinspiration (POM) to identify pharmacophores and antipharmacophores for antibacterial/antiviral activities of some 2-pyrazolines derivatives. Lipophilicity and the presence of tautomerism process are the major factors that govern the orientation to antibacterial and/or antiviral activity. On other hand, it was observed that these compounds have two different active sites and can inhibit both antiviral and antibacterial strains. Further, we have carried out receptor-based electrostatic analysis to confirm the electronic, steric and hydrophobic requirements for future modifications. The analyses provide substantial idea about the structural features responsible for their combined antibacterial/antiviral activity and provide guidelines for further modifications, with the aim of improving the activity and selectivity of designed drugs targeting HIV and tuberculosis microorganisms.
