Facile Synthesis of 6-Phenyl-6h-chromeno [4, 3-b] Quinoline Derivatives using NaHSO4@SiO2 Re-usable Catalyst and Their Antibacterial Activity Study Correlated by Molecular Docking Studies

Synthesis and identification of new sacubitril derivatives as lead compounds for antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular (TB) activities against dormant tuberculosis

We identified twenty-two new sacubitril derivatives (5a-v) as lead compounds for various biologically active targets. These compounds were synthesized by reacting an intermediate compound (2R,4S)-5-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4-(amino)-2-methylpentanoic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride with respective carboxylic acid (RCOOH). The molecular structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were determined by 1H and 13C NMR, ESI mass spectrometry, FTIR spectroscopy, and CHN analysis. Moreover, compound 5n was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) study to confirm the structure obtained from spectral data. All these compounds were screened for various biological functions such as antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-TB activities. Among these twenty-two compounds (5a-v), some exhibited good to moderate anti-bacterial properties. Similarly, some compounds showed moderate anti-TB and antifungal activities. In addition, the anti-TB activity of compound 5q was estimated against M. tuberculosis in a nutrient starvation model (NSM). Similarly, toxicity was examined against RAW 264.7 cells. These biological activity studies were also correlated with molecular docking studies.

Design and Synthesis of "Chloropicolinate Amides and Urea Derivatives" as Novel Inhibitors for Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A series of 30 novel diamino phenyl chloropicolinate fettered carboxamides, urea, and thiourea derivatives were synthesized by coupling of methyl 4-amino-6-(2-aminophenyl)-3-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate with different acid chlorides, urea, and thiourea moieties, respectively. All of these compounds were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and high-resolution mass spectra for confirmation of the structures. Two compounds were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to confirm the structures obtained by spectral analysis. All these 30 compounds were tested for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity using the microplate alamar blue assay method against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Five compounds have shown good minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with low cytotoxicity when compared with the reference drugs. Moreover, some of the compounds have high MIC values compared with isoniazid, rifampicin, and so forth and also had shown good reign in the spread of bacteria by the nutrient starvation model. These antimycobacterial activity results have shown a good correlation with molecular docking model analysis with the inhibitors MurB by exhibiting strong interactions. Some of these compounds could be promising candidates against M. tuberculosis for future preclinical agent drug development.
