Due to anticandidal importance of azole compounds, a new series of benzimidazole-triazole derivatives(5a–5s)were designed and synthesized as ergosterol inhibitors. The chemical structures of the target compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The final compounds were screened for antifungal activity againstCandida glabrata(ATCC 90030),Candida krusei(ATCC 6258),Candida parapsilosis(ATCC 22019), andCandida albicans(ATCC 24433). Compounds5iand5sexhibited significant inhibitory activity againstCandidastrains with MIC50values ranging from 0.78 to 1.56 μg/mL. Cytotoxicity results revealed that IC50values of compounds5iand5sagainst NIH/3T3 are significantly higher than their MIC50values. Effect of the compounds5iand5sagainst ergosterol biosynthesis was determined by LC-MS-MS analysis. Both compounds caused a significant decrease in the ergosterol level. The molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the interaction modes between the compounds and active site of lanosterol 14-α-demethylase (CYP51), which is as a target enzyme for anticandidal azoles. Theoretical ADME predictions were also calculated for final compounds.

Background: Due to the increasing number of cases of invasive fungal infections (IFIs), there is an urgent need to identify potent antifungal agents capable of combating IFIs. Pyrazolines are one such class of therapeutically active agents that could be considered to fulfil this need. Objective: In this context, this paper aims to identify two new series of bis-pyrazolines endowed with potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Methods: Two new series of bis-pyrazolines (4a-i, 5a-e) were synthesized through an efficient and and versatile synthetic procedure. The compounds were screened for their antifungal effects on C. albicans and A. niger using a broth microdilution method. Their cytotoxic effects on NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line were determined using MTT assay. Molecular docking studies were performed in the active site of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) to shed light on their antifungal effects using Schrödinger’s Maestro molecular modeling package. Results And Discussion: 5,5'-(1,4-Phenylene)bis[1-(2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)acetyl)-3-(2-thienyl)-4,5- dihydro-1H-pyrazole] (4a) and 5,5'-(1,4-phenylene)bis[1-(2-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinylthiocarbamoyl)thio)acetyl)-3- (2-thienyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole] (5a) were found as the most promising antifungal agents in this series. Compounds 4a and 5a showed pronounced antifungal activity against C. albicans (MIC= 0.016 mg/mL) and A. niger (MIC= 0.008 mg/mL). Based on MTT assay, their antifungal effects were selective (IC50 > 0.500 mg/mL for NIH/3T3 cell line). Molecular docking studies suggested that compounds 5a-e might show their anticandidal effects via CYP51 inhibition in regard to their stronger interactions in the active site of CYP51. Conclusion: Compounds 4a and 5a stand out as potential antifungal agents for the management of IFIs caused by C. albicans and A. niger.

Background: The 1,4-naphthoquinone ring has attracted prominent interest in the field of medicinal chemistry due to its potent pharmacological activity as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer. Objective: Herein, a series of new Schiff bases (4-6) and chalcones (8a-c & 9a-d) bearing 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety were synthesized in good yields and were subjected to in-vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant, and molecular docking testing. Methods: A facile protocol has been described in this study for the synthesis of new derivatives (4-7, 8a-c, and 9a-d) bearing 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety. The chemical structures of all the synthesized compounds were identified by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. Moreover, these derivatives were assessed for their in-vitro antimicrobial activity against gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, and fungal strains. Further studies were conducted to test their antioxidant activity using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay. Molecular docking studies were realized to identify the most likely interactions of the novel compounds within the protein receptor. Results: The antimicrobial results showed that most of the compounds displayed good efficacy against both bacterial and fungal strains. The antioxidant study revealed that compounds 9d, 9a, 9b, 8c, and 6 exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity. Docking studies of the most active antimicrobial compounds within GLN- 6-P, recorded good scores with several binding interactions with the active sites. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it was found that compounds 8b, 9b, and 9c displayed the highest activity against both bacterial and fungal strains. The obtained findings from the DPPH radical scavenging method revealed that compounds 9d and 9a exhibited the strongest scavenging potential. The molecular docking studies proved that the most active antimicrobial compounds 8b, 9b and 9c displayed the highest energy binding scores within the glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlcN-6-P) active site.

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.

At high altitudes, drops in oxygen concentration result in the creation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which cause a variety of health concerns. We addressed these health concerns and reported the synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of a series of 10 oxoquinolines. N-Aryl-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoquinoline-1(2H)carboxamides (5a–j) were accessed in two steps under ultrasonicated irradiation, as per the reported method. The anticancer activity was tested at 10 µM against a total of 5 dozen cancer cell lines obtained from nine distinct panels, as per the National Cancer Institute (NCI US) protocol. The compounds 5a (TK-10 (renal cancer); %GI = 82.90) and 5j (CCRF-CEM (Leukemia); %GI = 58.61) showed the most promising anticancer activity. Compound 5a also demonstrated promising DPPH free radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 14.16 ± 0.42 µM. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and carbonic anhydrase (CA), two prospective cancer inhibitor targets, were used in the molecular docking studies. Molecular docking studies of ligand 5a (docking score = −8.839) against the active site of EGFR revealed two H-bond interactions with the residues Asp855 and Thr854, whereas ligand 5a (docking = −5.337) interacted with three H-bond with the residues Gln92, Gln67, and Thr200 against the active site CA. The reported compounds exhibited significant anticancer and antioxidant activities, as well as displayed significant inhibition against cancer targets, EGFR and CA, in the molecular docking studies. The current discovery may aid in the development of novel compounds for the treatment of cancer and oxidative stress, and other high altitude-related disorders.
