The two-dimensional structures of synthesized SOX derivatives were drawn with the help of ChemDraw Professional v15.1 and subjected to prepare a three-dimensional structure with the help of Chem3D v15.1. The structural modification, geometrical correction, and optimization were performed with the help of Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF94). Protoss is an online tool that automatically predicts hydrogens for the interaction between protein-ligand complexes (https://proteins.plus/), accessed on 5 February 2022. The substituted SOXs were subjected to a single-step minimization by the steepest descent method for 500 steps and an RMS gradient of 0.01 [85 (link)]. To perform docking analysis, the eutectic state of protonation of the ligands was found at pH 7.4.
