A new series of fluoroquinolone compounds have been obtained by Gould-Jacobs method. The compounds have been characterized by physic-chemical methods (elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis) and by antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. For the synthesized compounds have been performed calculations of characteristics and molecular properties, using Spartan�14 Software from Wavefunction, Inc. Irvine, CA. and molecular docking studies using CLC Drug Discovery Workbench 2.4 software, to identify and visualize the most likely interaction ligand (fluoroquinolone) with the receptor protein.

We report a novel scaffold of N-substituted 2-phenylpyrido(2,3-d)pyrimidine derivatives with potent antibacterial activity by targeting this biotin carboxylase enzyme. The series of eighteen N-substituted 2-phenylpyrido(2,3-d)pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized, characterized and further molecular docking studied to determine the mode of binding and energy changes with the crystal structure of biotin carboxylase (PDB ID: 2V58) was employed as the receptor with compounds 6a-r as ligands. The results obtained from the simulation were obtained in the form of dock score; these values represent the minimum energies. Compounds 6d, 6l, 6n, 6o, 6r and 6i showed formation of hydrogen bonds with the active site residues and van Der Walls interactions with the biotin carboxylase enzyme in their molecular docking studies. This compound can be studied further and developed into a potential antibacterial lead molecule.

In this work, some 2-phenyl quinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives (5a-j) were synthesized via base catalyzed Pfitzinger reaction of isatin and acetophenone followed by C-N coupling reaction using POCl3 and assessed them for their in vitro antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The structure of newly synthesized compound were established by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and Mass spectrometric analysis. The synthesized carboxamides were subjected to preliminary in vitro antibacterial activity as well as for antifungal activity. Results of antibacterial activity were compared with standard antibacterial (ciprofloxocin) and antifungal (fluconozole). Among the tested compounds, 5d, 5f and 5h exhibited promising activity with zone of inhibition ranging from 10 to 25 mm. Further, the anticancer activity determined using MTT assay against two cancer cell lines. Compounds 5b, 5d, 5f and 5h showed good anticancer activity among all the other derivatives. In order to correlate the in vitro results, in silico ADME and Molecular docking studies were carried out for (5a-j). ADME properties results showed that all the compounds obey rule of Five rule except 5a, 5e and 5g compound. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds showed good binding affinity through hydrogen bond interactions with key residues on active sites as well as neighboring residues within the active site of chosen target proteins viz. antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer. Comparison of both results of in silico as well as in vitro investigation suggests that the synthesized compounds may act as potential antimicrobial as well as anticancer agents.

Aims and Objectives: The heteronuclear (mixed metal) complexes of Schiff bases have been explored as part of the coordination and bioinorganic chemistry. Five novel mixed metal complexes of (E)-2-(butan-2-ylidene) hydrazinecarbothioamide (2-butanone thiosemicarbazone) were prepared and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. Molecular docking studies were performed with three proteins for two complexes. The toxicity potential, physicochemical properties and bioactivity scores were also predicted. The complexes were tested against three cell lines and also evaluated for their antibacterial activity. Materials and Methods: The mixed metal complexes were prepared in 1:4 molar ratio of metal salt and ligand. OSIRIS 4.6.1 was used to assess the toxicity whereas Molinspiration 2016.03 was used to calculate the bioactivity scores and other physicochemical properties. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed using the Osiris Property Explorer 4.5.1 for defining and visualizing multidimensional property spaces by assigning dimensions to numerical descriptors. Molecular docking studies were performed with three proteins. The anticancer activity was tested against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HepG2 and A549 cell lines using MTT assay whereas antibacterial activity was tested using disc diffusion method. Results and Conclusion: The melting points of the complexes were as high as >3500C, indicating high thermal stability. [CuZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] exhibited minimum energies against the selected proteins. The bioactivity scores of the complexes were between -0.50 and 0.0. All the prepared complexes showed negative Ames score predicted their non-carcinogenic nature. Against A549 [CuZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2], [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] and [FeZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] showed potential in vitro activity. IC50 of these three complexes were 19.69, 37.73 and 38.4 respectively. Against MCF-7, [FeCu(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] had IC50 value 53.5. Whereas, against HepG2 [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] was active having IC50 value 61.8. [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2], [FeCu(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] and [FeCo(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] were active against S. aureus in the concentration range 2-20 mg/mL. The complexes showed improved biological activity as compared to the monometallic complexes of the same ligand.

The ligands used for docking has moderate binding affinity to active sites of main protease in terms of values. The binding affinities of these ligands are in the range of -3.1 to -5.1 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup>. All the ligands bind selectively to Cys-145 and also to other amino acids surrounding to it in the main protease. Of which arginine forms less number of weaker bonds compared to the other ligands, it by itself is a precursor for the formation of citrulline analogues with in the cell. Major advantage of using the above ligands is that in addition to its preferential binding these molecules also have the ability to enhance the immunity of the cells by the generation of nitric oxide in presence of enzymes thereby protecting them. Our results show that N-acetyl citrulline, citrulline, thiocitrulline and arginine may be used as a supplement during the treatment of SARS-COV-2.</p> <p> I request your good self to kindly accept the article and get it published as pre-print in your esteemed ChemRxiv. </p> <p>Thanking you</p> <p> </p> <p>With regards</p> <p> </p> <p>Ramesh T N</p> <p>([email protected])</p>
