A series of triazolylated nucleoside carboxylic acid derivatives has been synthesized using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The Ribonuclease A (RNase A) inhibitory property of the synthesized molecules has been studied by experimental as well as theoretical techniques. The compounds were found to inhibit RNase A in a reversible competitive manner. The inhibitory potency was significantly enhanced with the incorporation of a larger number of carboxylic acid groups in the inhibitor. A theoretical justification of the observed results has been demonstrated by investigating the docked structures of the enzyme-inhibitor complexes.
