N2O2 type complexes of C+2uion have been synthesized by the reaction of Salicylaldehyde/ 3,4-diaminobenzophenone/ acetyl acetoneand glutaric anhydride. The ligands and respective metal complexes was established through spectroscopic data (FT-IR, UV-Vis,1H NMR and 13C NMR). They are non-electrolytic in nature as their molar conductivities (ΛM) in DMSO of 10-3 M solution from the EPR study the complexes proposed to be octahedral geometry. All the metal complexes have been screened for their antibacterial activity andthe predicted binding affinity using molecular docking studies.

Background:: Structurally diverse organic compounds and available drugs were screened against urease and carbonic anhydrase II in a formulation acceptable for high-throughput screening. Objective: The study was conducted to find out potential inhibitors of urease and carbonic anhydrase II. Methods:: Quantification of the possible HITs was carried out by determining their IC50 values. Results and Discussion:: of several screened compounds including derivatives of oxadiazole, coumarins, chromane-2, 4- diones and metal complexes of cysteine-omeprazole showed promising inhibitory activities with IC50 ranging from 47 μM to 412 μM against the urease. The interactions of active compounds with active sites of enzymes were investigated through molecular docking studies which revealed that (R)-1-(4-amino-4-(5-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) butyl) guanidine possessing IC50 of 47 μM, interacts with one of the nickel metal atom of urease besides further interactions as predictable hydrogen bonds with KCX490, Asp633, His492, His407 and His409 along with Ala440 and 636. Bi-ligand metal complexes of 4-aminoantipyrine based Schiff bases showed activation of urease with AC50 ranging from 68 μM to 112 μM. Almost 21 compounds with varying functional groups including pyrimidines, oxadiazoles, imidazoles, hydrazides and tin based compounds were active carbonic anhydrase II inhibitors presenting 98 μM to 390 μM IC50 values. Several N-substituted sulfonamide derivatives were inactive against carbonic anhydrase II. Conclusion:: Among all the screened compounds, highly active inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase II was (4-(3- hydroxyphenyl)-6-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)phenyl) methanone with IC50 of 98.0 μM. This particular compound showed metallic interaction with Zn ion of carbonic anhydrase II through hydroxyl group of phenyl ring.
