Design, synthesis, and molecular docking of cysteine-based sulphonamide derivatives as antimicrobial agents.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose:The preponderance of microbial infections remains a global challenge. In the present study, synthesis of novel cysteine-based antimicrobial agents and their biological evaluation is reported. Experimental approach:The reaction of p-toluenesulphonyl chloride with cysteine afforded 2-{[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino}-3-sulphanylpropanoic acid (3) which was acetylated based on Lumiere-Barbier method using acetic anhydride. The ammonolysis of the acetylated compound (4) gave the carboxamide derivative (5) which reacted with aniline, aminopyridine and diaminopyrimidine via nickel catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amidation reaction to afford compounds 6a, 6b, and 6c, respectively. The compounds were characterized using FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and elemental analysis. The in vitro antimicrobial activities were determined. Their physicochemical properties were generated in silico and the molecular docking studied bacterial and fungal infections. Findings/Results:Compounds 4, 6b, and 6c exhibited excellent in vitro antibacterial activities while compound 4 had the best antifungal activities. From the in silico antimicrobial results, compound 3 had a better binding affinity (-10.95 kcal/mol) than penicillin (-10.89 kcal/mol) while compounds 3 and 4 had binding affinities (-10.07 and -10.62kcal/mol) comparable to ketoconazole (-10.85 kcal/mol). Conclusion and implication:All the synthesized compounds exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal activities and were confirmed to be potential antimicrobial agents.

New sulphonamide pyrolidine carboxamide derivatives: Synthesis, molecular docking, antiplasmodial and antioxidant activities.

Project description:Carboxamides bearing sulphonamide functionality have been shown to exhibit significant lethal effect on Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of human malaria. Here we report the synthesis of thirty-two new drug-like sulphonamide pyrolidine carboxamide derivatives and their antiplasmodial and antioxidant capabilities. In addition, molecular docking was used to check their binding affinities for homology modelled P. falciparum N-myristoyltransferase, a confirmed drug target in the pathogen. Results revealed that sixteen new derivatives killed the parasite at single-digit micromolar concentration (IC50 = 2.40-8.30 ?M) and compounds 10b, 10c, 10d, 10j and 10o scavenged DPPH radicals at IC50s (6.48, 8.49, 3.02, 6.44 and 4.32 ?g/mL respectively) comparable with 1.06 ?g/mL for ascorbic acid. Compound 10o emerged as the most active of the derivatives to bind to the PfNMT with theoretical inhibition constant (Ki = 0.09 ?M) comparable to the reference ligand pyrazole-sulphonamide (Ki = 0.01 ?M). This study identifies compound 10o, and this series in general, as potential antimalarial candidate with antioxidant activity which requires further attention to optimise activity.

Antifungal Agents: Design, Synthesis, Antifungal Activity and Molecular Docking of Phloroglucinol Derivatives.

Project description:Pseudoaspidinol is a phloroglucinol derivative with Antifungal activity and is a major active component of Dryopteris fragrans. In our previous work, we studied the total synthesis of pseudoaspidinol belonging to a phloroglucinol derivative and investigated its antifungal activity as well as its intermediates. However, the results showed these compounds have low antifungal activity. In this study, in order to increase antifungal activities of phloroglucinol derivatives, we introduced antifungal pharmacophore allylamine into the methylphloroglucinol. Meanwhile, we remained C1?C4 acyl group in C-6 position of methylphloroglucinol using pseudoaspidinol as the lead compound to obtain novel phloroglucinol derivatives, synthesized 17 compounds, and evaluated antifungal activities on Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes in vitro. Molecular docking verified their ability to combine the protein binding site. The results indicated that most of the compounds had strong antifungal activity, in which compound 17 were found to be the most active on Trichophyton rubrum with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 3.05 ?g/mL and of Trichophyton mentagrophytes with MIC of 5.13 ?g/mL. Docking results showed that compounds had a nice combination with the protein binding site. These researches could lay the foundation for developing antifungal agents of clinical value.

New Urea Derivatives as Potential Antimicrobial Agents: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Studies.

Project description:A series of new urea derivatives, containing aryl moieties as potential antimicrobial agents, were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and LCMS spectral techniques. All newly synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against five bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). Variable levels of interaction were observed for these urea derivatives. However, and of major importance, many of these molecules exhibited promising growth inhibition against Acinetobacter baumannii. In particular, to our delight, the adamantyl urea adduct 3l demonstrated outstanding growth inhibition (94.5%) towards Acinetobacter baumannii. In light of this discovery, molecular docking studies were performed in order to elucidate the binding interaction mechanisms of the most active compounds, as reported herein.

Design, synthesis, conformational and molecular docking study of some novel acyl hydrazone based molecular hybrids as antimalarial and antimicrobial agents.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Acyl hydrazones are an important class of heterocyclic compounds promising pharmacological characteristics. Malaria is a life-threatening mosquito-borne blood disease caused by a plasmodium parasite. In some places, malaria can be treated and controlled with early diagnosis. However, some countries lack the resources to do this effectively. RESULTS:The present work involves the design and synthesis of some novel acyl hydrazone based molecular hybrids of 1,4-dihydropyridine and pyrazole (5a-g). These molecular hybrids were synthesised by condensation of 1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl-phenoxyacetohydrazides with differently substituted pyrazole carbaldehyde. The final compound (5) showed two conformations (the major, E, s-cis and the minor, E, s-trans) as revealed by NMR spectral data and further supported by the energy calculations (MOPAC2016 using PM7 method). All the synthesised compounds were screened for their in vitro antimalarial activities against chloroquine-sensitive malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (3D7) and antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria i.e. Bacillus cereus, Gram negative bacteria i.e. Escherichia coli and antifungal activity against one fungus i.e. Aspergillus niger [corrected]. All these compounds were found more potent than chloroquine and clotrimazole, the standard drugs. CONCLUSIONS:In vitro antiplasmodial IC50 value of the most potent compound 5d was found to be 4.40 nM which is even less than all the three reference drugs chloroquine (18.7 nM), pyrimethamine (11 nM) and artimisinin (6 nM). In silico binding study of compound 5d with plasmodial cysteine protease falcipain-2 indicated the inhibition of falcipain-2 as the probable reason for the antimalarial potency of compound 5d. All the compounds had shown good to excellent antimicrobial and antifungal activities.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of carbohydrate-based sulphonamide derivatives as topical antiglaucoma agents through selective inhibition of carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:A series of new carbohydrate-based sulphonamide derivatives were designed, synthesised by employing the so-call 'sugar-tail' approach. The compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of CAs. Compared to their parent compound p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, these compounds showed nearly 100-fold improvement in their binding affinities against hCA II in vitro. All of compounds showed great water solubility and the pH value of their water solutions of compounds is 7.0. Such properties are advantageous to make them much less irritating to the eye when applied topical glaucomatous drugs, compared to the relatively highly acidic dorzolamide preparations (pH 5.5). Notably, compounds 7d, 7 g, 7 h demonstrated to topically lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous animals better than brinzolamide when applied as a 1% solution directly into the eye. Low cytotoxicity on human cornea epithelial cell was observed in the tested concentrations by the MTT assay.

2-(chromon-3-yl)imidazole derivatives as potential antimicrobial agents: synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies.

Project description:A series of novel 2-(chromon-3-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles (4a-h) were synthesized by one pot condensation of substituted 3-formylchromones (1a-h), benzil (2) and ammonium acetate (3) in refluxing acetic acid at 110 °C under N2 atmosphere. Allylation of compounds 4a-h with allyl bromide in the presence of fused K2CO3 furnished N-allyl-2-(chromon-3-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles (6a-h). The synthesized compounds were characterized spectroscopically and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains by disc diffusion method. Compounds bearing electron withdrawing substituents such as bromo (4f) showed significant inhibitory activity against S. cerevisiae (MIC 1.4 ?g/ml) and 4g containing chloro substituent, displayed more inhibitory potential against C. albicans (MIC 1.5), as compared to the standard drugs. Compounds 6a and 4c exhibit remarkable inhibitory potential against B. subtilis with MIC 0.98 and 1.23, respectively. The time kill assay for active compound 6a was performed by viable cell count (VCC) method to elucidate the microbicidal nature of 2-(chromon-3-yl)imidazoles. A molecular docking study of most active compounds with target 'lanosterol 14?-demethylase' (CYP51) was performed to unravel the mode of antifungal action.
