Recent studies have revealed that plasmodial enoyl-ACP reductase (pfENR, FabI), one of the crucial enzymes in the plasmodial type II fatty acid synthesis II (FAS II) pathway, is a promising target for liver stage malaria infections. Hence, pfENR inhibitors have the potential to be used as causal malarial prophylactic agents. In this study, we report the design, synthesis, structural characterization and evaluation of a new class of pfENR inhibitors. The search for inhibitors began with a virtual screen of the iResearch database by molecular docking. Hits obtained from the virtual screen were ranked according to their Glide score. One hit was selected as a lead and modified to improve its binding to pfENR; from this, a series of phenylamino acetic acid benzylidene hydrazides were designed and synthesized. These molecules were thoroughly characterized by IR, 1H, 13C, 15N, 2D-NMR (COSY, NOESY, 1H-13C, 1H-15N HSQC and HMBC), and X-ray diffraction. NMR studies revealed the existence of conformational/configurational isomers around the amide and imine functionalities. The major species in DMSO solution is the E, E form, which is in dynamic equilibrium with the Z, E isomer. In the solid state, the molecule has a completely extended conformation and forms helical structures that are stabilized by strong hydrogen bond interactions, forming a helical structure stabilized by N-H...O interactions, a feature unique to this class of compounds. Furthermore, detailed investigation of the NMR spectra indicated the presence of a minor impurity in most compounds. The structure of this impurity was deduced as an imidazoline-4-one derivative based on 1H-13C and 1H-15H HMBC spectra and was confirmed from the NOESY spectra. The molecules were screened for in vitro activity against recombinant pfENR enzyme by a spectrophotometric assay. Four molecules, viz. 17, 7, 10, and 12 were found to be active at 7, 8, 10, and 12m concentration, respectively, showing promising pfENR inhibitory potential. A classification model was derived based on a binary QSAR approach termed recursive partitioning (RP) to highlight structural characteristics that could be tuned to improve activity.

Nonviral gene delivery vectors are acquiring greater attention in the field of gene therapy by replacing the biological viral vectors. DNA-cationic polymer complexes are one of the most promising systems to find application in gene therapy. Hence, a complete insight of their biophysical characterization and binding energy profile is important in understanding the mechanism involved in nonviral gene therapy. In this investigation, the interaction between calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) and imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) also known as polyelectrolytes with three different alkyl side chains (ethyl, butyl, and hexyl) in physiological conditions using various spectroscopic experiments with constant DNA concentration and varying polyelectrolyte concentrations is reported. UV-visible absorption, fluorescence quenching studies, gel electrophoresis, circular dichroism (CD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) have confirmed the binding of polyelectrolytes with DNA. UV-vis absorption measurements and fluorescence quenching revealed that the binding between DNA and the polyelectrolyte is dominated by electrostatic interactions. Additionally, CD and FTIR results indicated that the DNA retained its B-form with minor perturbation in the phosphate backbone without significant change in the conformation of its base pairs. Preference for alkyl side chains (KPIL-Ethyl Br < KPIL-Butyl Br < KPIL-Hexyl Br) toward efficient binding between the polyelectrolyte and DNA was inferred from the binding and quenching constants calculated from the absorption and emission spectra, respectively. Further, in silico molecular docking studies not only validated the observed binding trend but also provided insight into the binding mode of the polyelectrolyte-DNA complex.

We have synthesized a series of novel 11 alpha-triazoyl bile acid derivatives. In addition, we also have synthesized N-alkyl and N-acyl derivatives of C-11 amino bile acid esters. All the compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) at 30 mu g/mL level. Four lead compounds (2b, 3, 7 and 8) were further confirmed from their dose dependent effect against MTB. These compounds were found to be active against Dormant and active stage MTB under both in vitro as well as within THP1 host macrophages. The most promising compound 2b showed strong antitubercular activities against MTB under in vitro and ex vivo (IC90 value of similar to 3 mu g/mL) conditions and almost insignificant cytotoxicity up to 100 mu g/mL against THP-1, A549 and PANC-1 human cancer cell lines. Inactivity of all these compounds against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria indicates their specificity. Molecular docking studies of these compounds into the active site of DprE1 enzyme revealed a similar binding mode to native ligands in the crystal structure thereby helping to establish a structural basis of inhibition of MTB. The synthesized compounds were analyzed for ADME properties and showed potential to develop good oral drug candidates. Our results clearly indicate the identification of some novel, selective and specific inhibitors against MTB that can be explored further for potential antitubercular drug. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

A series of six different ionic liquids (ILs) of the kind 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/hydroxide (IL-Br and IL-OH) tailored with different N-alkyl side chains (ethyl, butyl, octyl) were synthesized and evaluated for their vermicidal activity against the Indian earthworm, Pheretima posthuma. The percentage of paralysis and mortality of earthworms against ILs were recorded in a dose dependent (at different concentrations 2, 4, 8 and 16 mM) and time dependent manner. The ILs with hydroxide as the counter anion (IL-OH) showed higher vermicidal activity compared to their bromide counterparts (IL-Br). Moreover, the ILs with the longest alkyl chain (octyl) were observed to have significant vermicidal activity compared to the rest (ethyl and butyl) as well as the standard drug, Albendazole. Furthermore, theoretical modeling was carried out to visualize the preferential docking positions of these ILs into the active site of beta-tubulin. Fascinatingly, it was found that the ILs with longest alkyl side chain showed remarkable vermicidal activity compared to the rest, and the molecular docking studies not only validated the experimental results, but also showed per-residue interaction analysis between the ILs and the different components of beta-tubulin.

Our inability to completely control TB has been due in part to the presence of dormant mycobacteria. This also renders drug regimens ineffective and is the prime cause of the appearance of drug-resistant strains. In continuation of our efforts to develop novel antitubercular agents that especially target dormant mycobacteria, a set of 55 new compounds belonging to the pyrimidone class were designed on the basis of CoMFA and CoMSIA studies, and these were synthesized and subsequently tested against both the dormant and virulent BCG strain of M.tuberculosis. Some novel compounds have been identified which selectively inhibit the dormant tuberculosis bacilli with significantly low IC50 values. This study reports the second molecule after TMC-207, having the ability to inhibit tuberculosis bacilli exclusively in its dormant phase. The synthesis was accomplished by a modified multicomponent Biginelli reaction. A classification model was generated using the binary QSAR approach - recursive partitioning (RP) to identify structural characteristics related to the activity. Physicochemical, structural, topological, connectivity indices, and E-state key descriptors were used for generation of the decision tree. The decision tree could provide insights into structure-activity relationships that will guide the design of more potent inhibitors.

The design, synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of a novel series of azaspiro analogues of linezolid (1) have been described. Linezolid comprises of a morpholine ring which is known for its metabolism related liabilities. Therefore, the key modification made in the linezolid structure was the replacement of morpholine moiety with its bioisostere, 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane. Furthermore, the replacement of N-acetyl terminal of 1 with various aromatic or aliphatic functionalities was carried out. The title compounds were evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Subsequent structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies identified several compounds with mixed antibacterial and antitubercular profiles. Compound 22 (IC50 0.72, 0.51, 0.88, 0.49 mu g/mL for Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, respectively) exhibited similar antibacterial profile as I. The N-acetyl derivative 18 was similar to 1 in antitubercular profile. Thus, the present study successfully demonstrated the use of azaspiro substructure in the medicinal chemistry of antibacterial and antitubercular agents. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The one-pot three-component syntheses of new N-sulfonamide-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives were carried out in excellent yield using [HDBU][HSO4] as an ionic liquid under solvent-free conditions. The newly synthesized compounds were screened against fungal strains and a number of compounds were seen to display excellent antifungal activity. In addition, the synthesized compounds were screened for their scavenging activity of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and showed very good antioxidant activity. Finally, theoretical predictions derived from molecular docking studies against the potential target sterol 14 alpha-demethylase (CYP51) helped establish a link between the observed biological activity and the binding affinity, thereby providing insights into the specific bonding and non-bonding interactions governing the activity.

Phytochemical investigation of methanol extract of the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum Hance afforded four known diarylheptanoids 1,7-diphenylhept-4-en-3-one (1), 5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (2), 5-hydroxy-7-(4 ''-hydroxy-3 ''-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone (3), and 7-(4 ''-hydroxy-3 ''-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl heptan-3-one (4).The acetate derivative of (4), 7-(4 ''-actetate-3 ''-methoxy phenyl)-1-phenyl heptan-3-one (5), was prepared. These diarylheptanoids exhibited promising in vitro and ex vivo antitubercular activity for the first time against dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra with the IC50 values between 0.3447.69 and 0.1322.91 mu M, respectively. All compounds showed comparable activity against Mycobacterium bovis BCG (dormant phage) and did not show any activity against two gram + ve and two gram -ve bacterial strains. These compounds were also weakly cytotoxic up to 300 mu M against three human cancer cell lines THP-1, Panc-1 and A549.

Background: Inflammation triggered by oxidative stress can cause various ailments, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, diabetes etc. In the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in studying the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of plant constituents such as flavonoids and diarylheptanoids. Aim: To evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activity and the total phenolic content of isolated compounds from Alpinia officinarum rhizomes. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to study the binding mode of these compounds into the active site of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX -2). Methods: A. officinarum rhizomes were extracted by maceration, using methanol. This extract was further fractionated by partitioning with hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate and these fractions on further purification resulted in isolation of five pure compounds. Characterization was carried out by using H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and MS. They were further evaluated for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats. Molecular docking study was performed using Glide module integrated in Schrodinger molecular modeling software. Results: The compounds were identified as 1,7-diphenylhept-4-en-3-one (1), 5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone (2), 3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone (Galangin, 3), 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (Kaempferide, 4) and 5-hydroxy-7-(4 `'-hydroxy-3 `'-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone (5). The compound-3 and compound-5 (10 mg/kg) showed significant (p < 0.001) antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Moreover, total phenolic content was detected as 72.96 mg and 51.18 mg gallic acid equivalent respectively. All the five isolates were found to be good binders with COX-2 (average docking score -9.03). Conclusions: Galangin and 5-hydroxy-7-(4 `'-hydroxy-3 `'-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone exhibited anti-inflammatory and in-vitro antioxidant activity which may be due to presence of phenolic content in it. The molecular docking study revealed that these compounds have affinity towards COX-2 active site which can further be explored as selective COX-2 inhibitors.

Phytochemicals of Catharanthus roseus Linn. and Tylophora indica have been known for their inhibition of malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum in cell culture. Resistance to chloroquine (CQ), a widely used antimalarial drug, is due to the CQ resistance transporter (CRT) system. The present study deals with computational modeling of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) protein and development of charged environment to mimic a condition of resistance. The model of PfCRT was developed using Protein homology/analogy engine (PHYRE ver 0.2) and was validated based on the results obtained using PSI-PRED. Subsequently, molecular interactions of selected phytochemicals extracted from C. roseus Linn. and T. indica were studied using multiple-iterated genetic algorithm-based docking protocol in order to investigate the translocation of these legends across the PfCRT protein. Further, molecular dynamics studies exhibiting interaction energy estimates of these compounds within the active site of the protein showed that compounds are more selective toward PfCRT. Clusters of conformations with the free energy of binding were estimated which clearly demonstrated the potential channel and by this means the translocation across the PfCRT is anticipated.

Phytochemical investigation of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Anisochilus verticillatus afforded a new 8,9-secopimarane diterpene (1), two new isopimarane diterpenes (2, 3) and the known ursolic acid (4), beta-amyrin (5), -amyrin (6), stigmast-5-en-3-one (7) and hydroxychavicol (8). Structures of the new compounds were elucidated with the help of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data, and single crystal X-ray crystallography of compound 3. Compounds 2 and 8 inhibited Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra with an IC50 of 11.3 (IC90 of 20.0g/mL) and 12.5g/mL, respectively. Correspondingly, molecular docking studies with Extra Precision Glide revealed a correlation between score and biological activity for these compounds to describe the molecular basis for the most significant SAR results.

A novel approach for the synthesis of a new 4-thiazolidinone scaffold was developed by a one-pot three-component cyclocondensation of various tetrazolo quinoline aldehydes 1a-f, acid hydrazide 2a-c, and thioglycolic acid 3 in the presence of [DBUH].OAc] as a catalyst in high yields. All the conjugates were screened for their antimycobacterial activity against MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains, with the MIC values ranging from 0.99-13.55 mu mol mL(-1) and 0.14-20.11 mu mol mL(-1), respectively. The 4-thiazolidinone-incorporated tetrazoloquinoline derivatives 4a, 4d, 4g, 4j, 4m, and 4p were highly potent against MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains. The most active compounds were also evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A549, and HCT 116 cell lines and were found to be non-cytotoxic. Further, molecular docking studies into the active site of the InhA enzyme revealed a similar binding mode to the native ligand in the crystal structure, thereby helping us to understand the ligand-protein binding interaction and establish a structural basis for the inhibition of mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results suggest that the tetrazoloquinoline-thiazolidinone conjugates 4a, 4d, 4g, 4j, 4m, and 4p are promising antitubercular agents.

In search of more potent and safe new antitubercular agents, here new 2-pyridinyl substituted thiazolyl-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (6a-o), have been designed and synthesized using thionicotinamide as a starting, following novel multistep synthetic route. An intermediate, pyridinyl substituted thiazolyl acid hydrazide (4) when condensed with benzoic acids/nicotinic acids (5a-o) in the presence of silica supported POCl3 yielded better to excellent yields of the title compounds. All the synthesized compounds (6a-o) and intermediate acid hydrazide (4) have been screened for their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) and Mycobacterium bovis BCG. Amongst them, 6f, 6j, 6l and 6o have revealed promising activity against M. bovis BCG at concentrations less than 3 mu g/mL. These compounds have shown low cytotoxicity (CC50: > 100 mu g/mL) towards four human cancer cell lines. Molecular docking study has also been performed against mycobacterial enoyl reductase (InhA) enzyme to gain an insight into the binding modes of these molecules and recorded good binding affinity. The ADME properties the title products have also been analyzed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In vitro and ex vivo efficacies of four series of benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives were studied against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB). Benzo[b]thiophenes were also tested in vitro against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MDR-MTB), and 7b was found to be highly active against A- and DMDR-MTB/MTB (MIC ranges 2.73-22.86 mu g/mL). The activity of all benzo[b]-thiophenes against M. bovis BCG (BCG) was also assessed grown under aerobic and under conditions of oxygen depletion. Compounds 8c and 8g showed significant activity with MICs of 0.60 and 0.61 mu g/mL against dormant BCG. The low cytotoxicity and high selectivity index data against human cancer cell lines, HeLa, Panc-1, and THP-1 indicate the potential importance of the development of benzo[b]thiophene-based 1,3-diketones and flavones as lead candidates to treat mycobacterial infections. Molecular docking studies into the active site of DprE1 (Decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-n-ribose-2'-epimerase) enzyme revealed a similar binding mode to native ligand in the crystal structure thereby helping to understand the ligand protein interactions and establish a structural basis for inhibition of MTB. In summary, its good activity in in vitro and ex vivo model, as well as its activity against multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Ra in a potentially latent state, makes 7b an attractive drug candidate for the therapy of tuberculosis.

In search of new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra and M. bovis BCG, a small focused library of benzothiazinone based 1,2,3-triazoles has been efficiently prepared via click chemistry approach. Several derivatives were found to be promising inhibitors of MTB and M. bovis BCG characterized by lower MIC values (27.34-29.37 mu g/mL). Among all the synthesized compounds, 6c and 6e is the most active compound against MTB and M. bovis BCG. The compounds were further tested for anti-proliferative activity against HeLa, A549 and A431 cell lines using MTT assay and showed no significant cytotoxic activity at the maximum concentration evaluated. Further, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antioxidant activity with IC50 range = 14.14-47.11 mu g/mL. Furthermore, to rationalize the observed biological activity data, the molecular docking study also been carried out against a potential target MTB DprE1, which revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds. The results of the in vitro and in silico study suggest that the triazole incorporated benzothiazinone may possess the ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.

The persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in dormant stage assists the pathogen to develop resistance against current antimycobactrial drugs. To address this issue, we report herein the synthesis of N-(4-oxo-2 substituted thiazolidin-3yl) pyrazine-2-carbohydrazide derivatives designed by following the molecular hybridization approach using pyrazine and thiazolidenone scaffolds. The compounds were evaluated against MTB H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis BCG in dormancy model. Most of the compounds had IC50 values in 0.3-1 mu g/ml range. The active compounds were further tested for anti-proliferative activity against THP-1, Panc-1, A549, and MCF-7 cell lines using MTT assay and exhibited no significant cytotoxicity. We also report molecular docking studies using active analogs and MTB Decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose-2'-epimerase (DprE1) to rationalize the biological activity and to provide an insight into the probable mechanism of action and binding mode of hybridized structures. The results obtained validate the use of molecular hybridization approach and also suggest that reported compounds can provide a novel pharmacophore to synthesize lead compounds against dormat MTB.

In search of new therapeutics with greater potency, three new series of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-thieno[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The hydrazones bearing a core pyrazole, chromone and tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline scaffold showed promising activities. Interestingly, compounds 3a (EC50 = 06.00 +/- A 2.36) and 5c (EC50 = 07.21 +/- A 0.67) showed the most potent antioxidant activity, while compounds 3a (EC50 = 10.25 +/- A 1.08), 7b (EC50 = 10.50 +/- A 0.99) and 7c (EC50 = 11.18 +/- A 0.15) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, molecular docking studies also revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds to describe the molecular basis for the structure activity relationship (SAR) results. As these compounds are good cyclooxygenase inhibitors, isoenzyme inhibitory potency studies are warranted.

All the newly synthesized compounds 5a-t were further evaluated for antiproliferative activity against HeLa, A549 and PANC-1 cell lines using modified MTT assay and found to be noncytotoxic. On the basis of cytotoxicity and MIC values against Mycobacterium bovis BCG, selectivity index (SI) of most active compounds 5b, 5e, 5g and 5q was calculated (SI = GI(50)/MIC) in active and dormant state. Compounds 5b, 5e and 5g demonstrated SI values >= 10 against all three cell lines and were found to safe for advance screening. Compounds 5a-t were further screened for their antibacterial activity against four bacteria strains to assess their selectivity towards MTB. In addition, the molecular docking studies revealed the binding modes of these compounds in active site of enoyl reductase (InhA), which in turn helped to establish a structural basis of inhibition of mycobacteria. The potency, low cytotoxicity and selectivity of these compounds make them valid lead compounds for further optimization. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new series of 1-(2-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4 -oxadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-3-(aryl)prop-2-en-1-ones (5a-l) were synthesized by a simple and efficient synthetic protocol. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and Mass spectroscopy. The resulting structural diversity was screened for its antimicrobial activity the following bacterial and fungal strains: two Gram-positive bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC-96), Streptococcus pyogenes (MTCC-442)], two Gram-negative bacteria [Escherichia coli (MTCC-443), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC-1688)] and three fungal species (C. albicans, A. niger and A. clavatus). Following this, in vitro cytotoxicity activity against HeLa cell lines was measured by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide] assay. The observations derived from the diverse assays were utilized for building classification models based on a binary QSAR approach termed recursive partitioning (RP) analysis to probe the physic-chemical properties influencing the SAR for molecules. The decision tree derived from RP analysis could highlight structural characteristics that discriminate the actives from inactives which can serve as guide to design molecules with improved potency. In silico ADME predictions were performed to gauge their pharmacokinetic, safety and drug likeness profile.

A series of rhodanine incorporated quinoline derivatives were efficiently synthesized using reusable DBU acetate as ionic liquid and evaluated for their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) (ATCC 25177) and Mycobacterium bovis BCG (ATCC 35743) both in active and dormant state. Compounds 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h and 3i exhibited very good antitubercular activity. The active compounds were studied for cytotoxicity against HUVEC, THP-1, macrophages, A549, PANC-1 and HeLa cell lines using modified MTT assay and were found to be noncytotoxic. Inactivity of all these compounds against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria indicates their specificity towards the MTB. Further, the synthesized compounds have been screened for their in vitro antifungal activity. In addition, the molecular docking studies revealed the binding modes of these compounds in active site of Zmp1 enzyme, which in turn helped to establish a structural basis of inhibition of mycobacteria. The results of present study clearly indicate the identification of some novel, selective and specific inhibitors against MTB that can be explored further for potential antitubercular drug.

Novel 1,2,3-triazole-linked β-lactam–fluconazole conjugates 12(a–l) were designed and synthesized. The compounds showed potent antifungal activity against two pathogenic Candida strains; Candida albicans ATCC 24433 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 with MIC values in the range of 0.0625–2 μg mL−1. Compounds 12h, 12j and 12k showed promising antifungal activity against all the tested fungal pathogens except C. neoformans ATCC 34554 compared to fluconazole. Compound 12j in which the β-lactam ring was formed using para-anisidine and benzaldehyde was found to be more potent than fluconazole against all the fungal strains with an IC50 value of <0.015 μg mL−1 for Candida albicans (ATCC 24433). Mechanistic studies for active compounds revealed that the antifungal action was due to ergosterol inhibition. Compounds 12h and 12j at a concentration of 0.125 μg mL−1 caused 91.5 and 96.8% ergosterol depletion, respectively, compared to fluconazole which at the same concentration caused 49% ergosterol depletion. The molecular docking study revealed that all the fluconazole β-lactam conjugates 12(a–l) could snugly fit into the active site of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) with varying degrees of affinities. As anticipated, the binding energy for compound 12j (−58.961 kcal mol−1) was much smaller than that for fluconazole (−52.92 kcal mol−1). The synthesized compounds have therapeutic potential for the control of candidemia.

New bisphosphoramides (having phenyl (EDAPOPh(2)) and ethoxy (EDADEP) substituents attached to phosphoryl groups bridged with ethylenediamine spacer) are synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic techniques as well as elemental analysis. The molecular structure of EDAPOPh(2) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The interaction of these bisphosphoramides with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) is investigated using UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence spectral data as well as the DFT calculations. These studies reveal that EDAPOPh(2) and EDADEP interact with DNA in a partial intercalation mode. The intrinsic binding constants K-b of two different bisphosphoramides with ct-DNA were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy as 2.08 x 10(4) and 3.86 x 10(4) M-1 respectively. The results indicated that the two compounds bind to ct-DNA with different binding affinities, i.e. EDAPOPh(2) > EDADEP. The binding mechanism of these bisphosphoramides to ct-DNA is also discussed.

Molecular docking was performed against MTB enoyl-ACP (CoA) reductase (FabI/ENR/InhA) enzyme to predict the binding modes and affinity. The theoretical predictions from molecular docking could establish a link between the observed biological activity and the binding affinity shedding light into specific bonded and non-bonded interactions influencing the activity. The active compounds were studied for cytotoxicity against three cell lines and were found to be non-cytotoxic. Specificity of these compounds was checked by screening them for their antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains.

Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are known for anti-tubercular activity. The present study reports the synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives via bioisosteric replacement of terminal carboxylic acid with ``oxadiazole''. A series of cinnamic acid derivatives (styryl oxadiazoles) were designed and synthesized in good yields by reaction of substituted cinnamic acids (2, 15a-15s) with amidoximes. The synthesized styryl oxadiazoles were evaluated in vitro for anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra strain.

Drug resistance in tuberculosis poses a serious threat to humanity because currently available antitubercular drugs are ineffective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). As a result, the approval of Bedaquiline and Delamanid for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis was accelerated. Still, there is an urgent need to search for new antitubercular drugs with novel mechanisms of action (MoA). Due to this, we have designed a synthetic strategy by utilizing microwave-assisted organic synthesis. We have compared our method with the conventional procedure, and the data show that our procedure is more effective in the preparation of title compounds. A unique series of 1-(2-(furan-2-yl)-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-3-(aryl)-pr op-2-en-1-ones (5a-o) was synthesized utilizing conventional and microwave-assisted techniques. Synthetic compounds were investigated for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium TB H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis). Compound 5b was reported to be the most effective against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (97.69 percent inhibition at 30 mu g/ml) and M. bovis (97.09 percent inhibition at 30 mu g/ml). An in silico binding affinity study of mycobacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) reveals the binding mechanism and thermodynamic interactions that determine these molecule's binding affinity. Compound 5b had a high glide score of -8.991 and low glide energy of -49.893 kcal/mol.

The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) and M. bovis BCG strains. The compounds 4a, 4b, 4e, 4i, 4k and 4l are highly potent against both the strains. Most of the active compounds are non-cytotoxic against MCF-7, A549, HCT 116 and THP-1 cell lines. Furthermore, a molecular docking study of these compounds was carried out to investigate their binding pattern with the target, active site of mycobacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (Inh A). Therefore, these compounds can be subjected for further optimization and drug development which could give promising chemical leads for treatment of TB.

Here, we report the solvent-free one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 4-substituted-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives from O-phenylenediamine, aromatic aldehydes, and dimedone using [DBUH][HSO4] as a catalyst in excellent yields. This process was carried out in search of a reusable, easily accessible, affordable, and efficient catalyst. 1,5-Benzodiazepines demonstrate a new family of good inhibitors with potent anti-mycobacterial properties. The most promising compounds in the present series are 4c, 4i, and 4l which showed excellent activity and inhibited the growth of both MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains with lower MICs. The most active compounds were further studied for their cytotoxicity against cell lines MCF-7, A549, HCT116, and THP-1 by MTT assays and the compounds were found to be non-toxic. The fact that none of these compounds work against either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria suggests that they are only effective against MTB. The in silico docking of the molecules against mycobacterial enoyl reductase, InhA enzyme could provide well-clustered solutions and have given valuable insights into the thermodynamic elements governing the binding affinities. The findings of this investigation unmistakably point to the discovery of extremely specific and selective MTB inhibitors, which can now be investigated further in search of possible anti-tubercular drugs.
