A methodology based on concepts that arose from Density Functional Theory (CDFT) was chosen for the calculation of global and local reactivity descriptors of the Seragamide family of marine anticancer peptides. Determination of active sites for the molecules was achieved by resorting to some descriptors within Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) such as Fukui functions. The pKas of the six studied peptides were established using a proposed relationship between this property and calculated chemical hardness. The drug likenesses and bioactivity properties of the peptides considered in this study were obtained by resorting to a homology model by comparison with the bioactivity of related molecules in their interaction with different receptors. With the object of analyzing the concept of drug repurposing, a study of potential AGE-inhibition abilities of Seragamides peptides was pursued by comparison with well-known drugs that are already available as pharmaceuticals.
