New palladium complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene and morpholine ligands: Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, molecular docking, and biological activities. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2024; 38:e23554. [PMID: 37855258 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
This work includes the synthesis of a new series of palladium-based complexes containing both morpholine and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. The new complexes were characterized using NMR (1 H and 13 C), FTIR spectroscopic, and elemental analysis techniques. The crystal structure of complex 1b was obtained by utilizing the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. X-ray studies show that the coordination environment of palladium atom is completed by the carbene carbon atom of the NHC ligand, the nitrogen atom of the morpholine ring, and a pair of bromide ligand, resulting in the formation of slightly distorted square planar geometry. All complexes were determined for some metabolic enzyme activities. Results indicated that all the synthetic complexes exhibited powerful inhibitory actions against all aims as compared to the control molecules. Ki values of new morpholine-liganded complexes bearing 4-hydroxyphenylethyl group 1a-e for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, BChE, and α-glycosidase enzymes were obtained in the ranges 0.93-2.14, 1.01-2.03, 4.58-10.27, 7.02-13.75, and 73.86-102.65 µM, respectively. Designing of reported complexes is impacted by molecular docking study, and interaction with the current enzymes also proclaimed that compounds 1e (-12.25 kcal/mol for AChE and -11.63 kcal/mol for BChE), 1c (-10.77 kcal/mol and -9.26 kcal/mol for α-Gly and hCA II, respectively), and 1a (-8.31 kcal/mol for hCA I) are showing binding affinity and interaction from the synthesized five novel complexes.

Synthesis, characterization, biochemical, and molecular modeling studies of carvacrol-based new thiosemicarbazide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023; 356:e2300370. [PMID: 37743251 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202300370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
A series of carvacrol-based thiosemicarbazide (3a-e) and 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine (4a-e) were designed and synthesized for the first time. The structures were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and high resolution mass spectroscopy techniques. All compounds were examined for some metabolic enzyme activities. Results indicated that all the synthetic molecules exhibited powerful inhibitory actions against human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCAI and II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes compared to the standard molecules. Ki values of five novel thiosemicarbazides and five new 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine derivatives (3a-e and 4a-e) for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE enzymes were obtained in the ranges 0.73-21.60, 0.42-15.08 µM, 3.48-81.48, 92.61-211.40 nM, respectively. After the experimental undertaking, an extensive molecular docking analysis was conducted to scrutinize the intricate details of interactions between the ligand and the enzyme in question. The principal focus of this investigation was to appraise the potency and efficacy of the most active compound. In this context, the calculated docking scores were noted to be remarkably low, with values of -8.65, -7.97, -8.92, and -8.32 kcal/mol being recorded for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE, respectively. These observations suggest a high affinity and specificity of the studied compounds toward the enzymes, as mentioned earlier, which may pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating the activity of these enzymes.

Abstract
Two novel quinoline-anthracene conjugates comprising styrylquinoline and anthracene moieties linked by triazole bridges were designed and synthesized in good yields. These molecules were determined for some metabolic enzymes activities. Results indicated that the synthetic molecules exhibited powerful inhibitory actions against all aims as compared to the control molecules. Ki values of novel compound QA-1 for hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and α-glycosidase enzymes were obtained of 20.18 ± 2.46 µM, 14.63 ± 1.14 µM, 71.48 ± 7.76 nM, 401.35 ± 36.84 nM, respectively. Both compounds showed promising candidate complexes for drug development with considerable in vitro different enzymes inhibitory activities. The binding conformations patterns and interaction of QA-1 and QA-2 compounds with α-glucosidase, acetycholinesterase, carbonic anhydrase-I and carbonic anhydrase-II enzymes were investigated through molecular docking profiles. The docking outputs are consistent with the Ki and IC50 values of novel compounds. Three dimensional geometries and electronic properties of the title compounds were obtained by the applicational computational approach at B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
In this study, the in vitro effects of some indole Schiff bases on acetylcholinesterase and human carbonic anhydrase isoforms I and II were investigated. A series of N-methylindole hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives (1a-1t) were tested on these enzymes. The interactions of the synthesized indole derivatives with target enzymes were studied by molecular docking methodology. The results revealed that indole derivative Schiff base compounds inhibited the enzymes significantly. Ki values for hCAI isoenzyme were determined to be in the range of 36.18 ± 3.07-224.29 ± 5.78 nM; for the hCAII isoenzyme in the range of 31.30 ± 2.63-201.64 ± 7.25 nM; for acetylcholinesterase in the range of 6.82 ± 0.72-110.30 ± 9.26 nM. Compared to the control compound Acetazolamide (AZA), 1k and 1p were found to have the best inhibitory effect for hCAI; 1p was found to be the best inhibitory effect for hCAII. Compared to the control compound Tacrine (TAC), 1s showed the best inhibitory effect for AChE. In vitro results were verified with the results obtained by docking studies and interactions with enzymes were demonstrated.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
This work contains synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and biological activity of a new series of the PEPPSI type Pd(II)NHC complexes [(NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py)]. NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis techniques were used to characterize all (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes. Also, molecular and crystal structures of complex 1c were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Regarding the X-ray studies, the palladium(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Additionally, the enzyme inhibitory effect of new (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes (1a-1g) was studied. They exhibited highly potent inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) (Ki values are in the range of 0.08 ± 0.01 to 0.65 ± 0.06 µM, 10.43 ± 0.98 to 22.48 ± 2.01 µM, 6.58 ± 0.30 to 10.88 ± 1.01 µM and 6.34 ± 0.37 to 9.02 ± 0.72 µM for AChE, BChE, hCA I, and hCA II, respectively). Based on the molecular docking, among the seven synthesized complexes, 1c, 1b, 1e, and 1a significantly inhibited AChE, BChE, hCA I, and hCA II enzymes, respectively. The findings highpoint that (NHC)Pd(II)(3-Cl-py) complexes can be considered as possible inhibitors via metabolic enzyme inhibition.

Abstract
Two heterocyclic azole compounds, 3-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (SVS1) and 5-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (SVS2) were obtained unexpectedly from 2-aminothiophenol and 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde (for SVS1), and (E)-2-((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-N-methylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide in the presence of anhydrous FeCl3 (for SVS2), respectively. The compounds were well characterized by analytical and spectroscopic tools. The molecular structures of both the compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) study. The results obtained from density functional theory (DFT) study revealed the molecular geometry and electron distribution of the compounds, which were correlated well with the three-dimensional structures obtained from the single crystal XRD. DMol3 was used to calculate quantum chemical parameters [chemical potential (µ), global hardness (η), global softness (σ), absolute electronegativity (χ) and electrophilicity index (ω)] of SVS1 and SVS2. Molecular docking study was performed to elucidate the binding ability of SVS1 and SVS2 with SARS-CoV-2 main protease and human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) molecular targets. Interestingly, the binding efficiency of the compounds with the molecular targets was comparable with that of remdesivir (SARS-CoV-2), chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. SVS1 showed better docking energy than SVS2. The molecular docking study was complemented by molecular dynamics simulation study of SARS-CoV-2 main protease-SVS1 complex, which further exemplified the binding ability of SVS1 with the target. In addition, SVS1, SVS2 and cisplatin were assessed for their cytotoxicity against a panel of three human cancer cells such as HepG-2 (hepatic carcinoma), T24 (bladder) and EA.hy926 (endothelial), as well as Vero (kidney epithelial cells extracted from an African green monkey) normal cells using MTT assay. The results showed that SVS2 has significant cytotoxicity against HepG-2 and EA.hy926 cells with the IC50 values of 33.8 μM (IC50 = 49.9 μM-cisplatin and 8.6 μM-doxorubicin) and 29.2 (IC50 = 26.6 μM-cisplatin and 3.8 μM-doxorubicin), respectively.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes are zinc ion-containing, widespread metalloenzymes and they classically play a role in pH homeostasis maintenance. CA inhibitors suppress the CA activity and their usage has been clinically established as antiglaucoma agents, antiepileptics, diuretics, and in some other disorders. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder and a fatal disease of the brain. An advanced method to cure AD includes the strategy to design acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. A novel series of pyrrole-3-one derivatives containing sulfa drugs (5a-i) were determined to be highly potent inhibitors for AChE and hCA I and hCA II (inhibitory constant [Ki ] values are in the range of 6.50 ± 1.02-37.46 ± 4.12 nM, 1.20 ± 0.19-44.21 ± 1.09 nM, and 8.93 ± 1.58-46.86 ± 8.41 nM for AChE, hCA I, and hCA II, respectively). The designed compounds often show a more effective inhibition than the chemicals used as the standard. Among these compounds, 5f was the most effective compound against hCA I, and compound 5e was the most effective compound against hCA II. It was determined that compound 5c was the most effective inhibitor for AChE.

Abstract
A new series of quinoxalin-1,3,4-oxadiazole (10a-l) derivatives was synthesized and evaluated against some metabolic enzymes including human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes I and II (carbonic anhydrases I and II), cholinesterase (acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase), and α-glucosidase. Obtained data revealed that all the synthesized compounds were more potent as compared with the used standard inhibitors against studied target enzymes. Among the synthesized compounds, 4-fluoro derivative (10f) against hCA I, 4-chloro derivative (10i) against hCA II, 3-fluoro derivative (10e) against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, and 3-bromo derivative (10k) against α-glucosidase were the most potent compounds with inhibitory activity around 1.8- to 7.37-fold better than standard inhibitors. Furthermore, docking studies of these compounds were performed at the active site of their target enzymes.

Abstract
The p-aminobenzoic acid was applied for the synthesis of substituted 1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine derivatives containing benzimidazole, azole, oxadiazole, triazole, dihydrazone, and dithiosemicarbazide moieties in the structure. All the obtained compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using MIC and MBC assays. This study showed a good bactericidal activity of γ-amino acid and benzimidazoles derivatives. The antimicrobial activity of the most promising compounds was higher than ampicillin. Furthermore, two benzimidazoles demonstrated good antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes (MIC 15.62 µg/mL) that was four times more potent than ampicillin (MIC 65 µg/mL). Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanism of the antimicrobial activity as well as to generate antimicrobial compounds based on the 1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine scaffold.

Abstract
In this study, preparation, as well as investigation of α-glycosidase and cholinesterase (ChE) enzyme inhibition activities of furan-2-ylmethoxy-substituted compounds 1-7, are reported. Peripherally, tetra-substituted copper and manganese phthalocyanines (5 and 6) were synthesized for the first time. The substitution of furan-2-ylmethoxy groups provides remarkable solubility to the complex and redshift of the phthalocyanines Q-band. Besides, the inhibitory effects of these compounds on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and α-glycosidase (α-Gly) enzymes have been investigated. The AChE was inhibited by these compounds (1-7) in low micromolar levels, and K i values were recorded between 11.17 ± 1.03 and 83.28 ± 11.08 µM. Against the BChE, the compounds demonstrated K i values from 7.55 ± 0.98 to 81.35 ± 12.80 µM. Also, these compounds (1-7) effectively inhibited α-glycosidase, with K i values in the range of 744.87 ± 67.33 to 1094.38 ± 88.91 µM. For α-glycosidase, the most effective K i values of phthalocyanines 3 and 6 were with K i values of 744.87 ± 67.33 and 880.36 ± 56.77 µM, respectively. Moreover, the studied metal complexes were docked with target proteins PDB ID: 4PQE, 1P0I, and 3WY1. Pharmacokinetic parameters and secondary chemical interactions that play an active role in interaction were predicted with docking simulation results. Overall, furan-2-ylmethoxy-substituted phthalocyanines can be considered as potential agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's diseases and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Syntheses of tetrahydroepoxy, O-allylic, O-prenylic, and O-propargylic tetrafluoronaphthalene derivatives, starting from 1-bromo-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzene, are reported here for the first time. The O-substituted tetrafluoronaphthalene derivatives were designed and also synthesized via a one-pot nucleophilic substitution reaction in excellent yields, whereas the tetrafluorotetrahydroepoxynaphthalene derivate was synthesized via a reduction reaction in excellent yield. The chemical structures of all the synthesized molecules were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry techniques. In this study, a series of novel tetrafluoronaphthalene derivatives (2, 2a, 4-6) was tested toward several enzymes including α-glucosidase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I/II). The tetrafluoronaphthalene derivatives 2, 2a, and 4-6 showed IC50 and Ki values in the range of 0.83-1.27 and 0.71-1.09 nM against hCA I, 1.26-1.85 and 1.45-5.31 nM against hCA II, 39.02-56.01 and 20.53-56.76 nM against AChE, and 15.27-34.12 and 22.58-30.45 nM against α-glucosidase, respectively. Molecular docking calculations were made to determine the biological activity values of the tetrafluoronaphthalene derivatives against the enzymes. After the calculations, ADME/T analysis was performed to examine the effects on human metabolism. Finally, these compounds had antidiabetic and anticholinesterase potentials.

New 1,2,3-Triazole-Containing Hybrids as Antitumor Candidates: Design, Click Reaction Synthesis, DFT Calculations, and Molecular Docking Study. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26030708.

Abstract
In an effort to improve and achieve biologically active anticancer agents, a novel series of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids were designed and efficiently synthesized via the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction of substituted-arylazides with alkyne-functionalized pyrazole-[1,2,4]-triazole hybrids. The structure geometry of these new clicked 1,2,3-triazoles was explored by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level; also, the potential activity of the compounds for light absorption was simulated by time-dependent DFT calculations (TD-DFT). The antitumor impacts of the newly synthesized compounds were in vitro estimated to be towards the human liver cancer cell line (HepG-2), the human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7). Among the tested compounds, conjugate 7 was the most potent cytotoxic candidate towards HepG-2, HCT-116, and MCF-7, with IC50 = 12.22, 14.16, and 14.64 µM, respectively, in comparison to that exhibited by the standard drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 11.21, 12.46, and 13.45 µM). Finally, a molecular docking study was conducted within the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) active site to suggest possible binding modes. Hence, it could conceivably be hypothesized that analogies 7, 6, and 5 could be considered as decent lead candidate compounds for anticancer agents.

Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25153315.

Abstract
The manuscript describes the synthesis of new racemic and chiral linked paracyclophane assigned as N-5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)carbamoyl)-5’-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)carboxamide. The procedure depends upon the reaction of 5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)hydrazide with 5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)isocyanate. To prepare the homochiral linked paracyclophane of a compound, the enantioselectivity of 5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)carbaldehyde (enantiomeric purity 60% ee), was oxidized to the corresponding acid, which on chlorination, gave the corresponding acid chloride of [2.2]paracyclophane. Following up on the same procedure applied for the preparation of racemic-carbamoyl and purified by HPLC purification, we succeeded to obtain the target Sp-Sp-N-5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)carbamoyl)-5’-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)carboxamide. Subjecting N-5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)hydrazide to various isothiocyanates, the corresponding paracyclophanyl-acylthiosemicarbazides were obtained. The latter compounds were then cyclized to a new series of 5-(1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiones. 5-(1,4(1,4)-Dibenzenacyclohexaphane-12-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-amines were also synthesized in good yields via internal cyclization of the same paracyclophanyl-acylthiosemicarbazides. NMR, IR, and mass spectra (HRMS) were used to elucidate the structure of the obtained products. The X-ray structure analysis was also used as an unambiguous tool to elucidate the structure of the products.

Abstract
Mercapto-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles are very interesting compounds as they play an important role in chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects on cancer. In recent decades, literature has been enriched with sulfur- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles which are used as a basic nucleus of different heterocyclic compounds with various biological applications in medicine and also occupy a huge part of natural products. Therefore, we shed, herein, more light on the synthesis of this interesting class and its application as a biologically active moiety. They might also be suitable as antiviral and anti-infective drugs.

Synthesis of a New Series of Nitrogen/Sulfur Heterocycles by Linking Four Rings: Indole; 1,2,4-Triazole; Pyridazine; and Quinoxaline. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25030450.

Abstract
A new series of nitrogen and sulfur heterocyclic systems were efficiently synthesized by linking the following four rings: indole; 1,2,4-triazole; pyridazine; and quinoxaline hybrids. The strength of the acid that catalyzes the condensation of 4-amino-5-(1H-indol-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione 1 with aromatic aldehydes controlled the final product. Reflux in glacial acetic acid yielded Schiff bases 2–6, whereas concentrated HCl in ethanol resulted in a cyclization product at C-3 of the indole ring to create indolo-triazolo-pyridazinethiones 7–16. This fascinating cyclization approach was applicable with a wide range of aromatic aldehydes to create the target cyclized compounds in excellent yield. Additionally, the coupling of the new indolo-triazolo-pyridazinethiones 7–13 with 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)quinoxaline, as a linker in acetone and K2CO3, yielded 2,3-bis((5,6-dihydro-14H-indolo[2,3-d]-6-aryl-[1,2,4-triazolo][4,3-b]pyridazin-3 ylsulfanyl)methyl)quinoxalines 19–25 in a high yield. The formation of this new class of heterocyclic compounds in high yields warrants their use for further research. The new compounds were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectral analysis. Compound 6 was further confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

Abstract
Substituted 1,2,4-triazole nucleus is common in several drugs used in a variety of clinical conditions including infections, hypoglycemia, hypertension and cancer. In this study, we synthesized 1,2,4-triazole and its 16 hydrazone derivatives (B1-B16), characterized them by IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopy, and evaluated their radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. Out of 16 derivatives, five (B1, B5, B6, B9, and B13) demonstrated a significant radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. B6, which possessed two electron-donating hydroxyl groups, was most active among all. Molecular docking and MD simulation of the complex of B6 with prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS) or cyclooxygenase (COX) showed that B6 occupied celecoxib binding site in COX with high affinity (the binding free energy of the complex with COX-1 was -10.5, and -11.2 kcal/mol with COX-2). Maximum anti-inflammatory activity was also shown by the B6 derivative in vivo, in the rat model of carrageenan-induced inflammation. B6, along with four other derivatives (B1, B5, B9 and B13) exhibited 80-90% free radical scavenging activity. The IC50 values of these compounds were ≥40 µM. Griess nitrite and dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein-diacetate assays suggested a significant inhibition of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, especially by B6 and B9. Taken together, out of 16 derivatives, B6 is reported to have highest anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity at a low dose level, which may be attributed to its two electron-donating hydroxyls. B6 is proposed to be an important scaffold for the synthesis of new drugs against PTGS for use in a myriad of inflammatory and infectious diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In this study, new chalcone compounds having the chemical structure of 6-(3-aryl-2-propenoyl)-2(3H)-benzoxazolones (1-8) were synthesised and were characterised by 1H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and HRMS spectra. Cytotoxic and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory effects of the compounds were investigated. Cytotoxicity results pointed out that compound 4, 6-[3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenoyl]-3H-benzoxazol-2-one, showed the highest cytotoxicity (CC50) and potency-selectivity expression (PSE) value, and thus can be considered as a lead compound of this study. According to the CA inhibitory results, IC50 values of the compounds 1-8 towards hCA I were in the range of 29.74-69.57 µM, while they were in the range of 18.14 - 48.46 µM towards hCA II isoenzyme. Ki values of the compounds 1-8 towards hCA I were in the range of 28.37 ± 6.63-70.58 ± 6.67 µM towards hCA I isoenzyme and they were in the range of 10.85 ± 2.14 - 37.96 ± 2.36 µM towards hCA II isoenzyme.

Abstract
The antifungals that are in current clinical practice have a high occurrence of a side effect and multidrug resistance (MDR). Researchers across the globe are trying to develop a suitable antifungal that has minimum side effect as well as no MDR issues. Due to serious undesired effects connected with individual antifungals, it is now necessary to introduce novel and effective drugs having numerous potentials to regulate complex therapeutic targets of several fungal infections simultaneously. Thus, by taking a lead from this subject, synthesis of potent antifungals from coumarin moiety could contribute to the development of promising antifungal. Its resemblance and structural diversity make it possible to produce an auspicious antifungal candidate. Due to the natural origin of coumarin, its presence in diversity, and their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, it secures an important place for the researcher to investigate and develop it as a promising antifungal in future. This manuscript discusses the bioavailability of coumarin (natural secondary metabolic molecule) that has privileged scaffold for many mycologists to develop it as a broad-spectrum antifungal against several opportunistic mycoses. As a result, several different kinds of coumarin derivatives were synthesized and their antifungal properties were evaluated. This review compiles various coumarin derivatives broadly investigated for antifungal activities to understand its current status and future therapeutic scope in antifungal therapy.

Abstract
In this work, the inhibitory activity of Voriconazole was measured against some metabolic enzymes, including human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and α-glycosidase; the results were compared with standard compounds including acetazolamide, tacrine, and acarbose. Half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50 ) values were obtained from the enzyme activity (%)-[Voriconazole] graphs, whereas Ki values were calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk graphs. According to the results, the IC50 value of Voriconazole was 40.77 nM for α-glycosidase, while the mean inhibition constant (Ki ) value was 17.47 ± 1.51 nM for α-glycosidase. The results make an important contribution to drug design and have pharmacological applications. In addition, the Voriconazole compound demonstrated excellent inhibitory effects against AChE and hCA isoforms I and II. Voriconazole had Ki values of 29.13 ± 3.57 nM against hCA I, 15.92 ± 1.90 nM against hCA II, and 10.50 ± 2.46 nM against AChE.
