Abstract: This work describes a theoretical study of series of Bis-imidazole derivatives of N-monosubstituted amides 1(a-u) as possible inhibitor of the Cytochrome P450 14 α-sterol demethylase inhibitors (14DM) by Molecular Docking method. Compounds  3 and 4 were used to identify the active sites on this enzyme and compared with Bis-imidazole derivatives of N-monosubstituted amides. The analysis of Docking results show that compounds 1(a-u) could inhibit 14DM, due to the fact that they act in the same region as reference compounds (3, 4).  These designed inhibitors make several interactions with the amino acid residues that confirm the active sites of 14DM.  ΔG values for all compounds were in between –7.91 and –5.48. 14DM-1n complex was found to be most stable. The Molinspiration on-line cheminformatics service was used for calculation of important molecular properties (ClogP, number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors).
