Abstract
Prevalence of microbial infections and new rising pathogens are signified as causative agent for variety of serious and lethal health crisis in past years. Despite medical advances, bacterial and fungal infections continue to be a rising problem in the health care system. As more bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics used in therapy, and as more invasive microbial species develop resistance to conventional antimicrobial drugs. Relevant published publications from the last two decades, up to 2024, were systematically retrieved from the MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and WOS databases using keywords such as quinolones, anti-infective, antibacterial, antimicrobial resistance and patents on quinolone derivatives. With an approach of considerable interest towards novel heterocyclic derivatives as novel anti-infective agents, researchers have explored these as essential tools in vistas of drug design and development. Among heterocycles, quinolones have been regarded extremely essential for the development of novel derivatives, even able to tackle the associated resistance issues. The quinolone scaffold with its bicyclic structure and specific functional groups such as the carbonyl and acidic groups, is indeed considered a valuable functionalities for further lead generation and optimization in drug discovery. Besides, the substitution at N-1, C-3 and C-7 positions also subjected to be having a significant role in anti-infective potential. In this article, we intend to highlight recent quinolone derivatives based on the SAR approach and anti-infective potential such as antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antitubercular, antitrypanosomal and antiviral activities. Moreover, some recent patents granted on quinolone-containing derivatives as anti-infective agents have also been highlighted in tabular form. Due consideration of this, future research in this scaffold is expected to be useful for aspiring scientists to get pharmacologically significant leads.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most significant health challenges worldwide. Various techniques, tools and therapeutics/materials have been developed in the last few decades for the treatment of cancer, together with great interest, funding and efforts from the scientific society. However, all the reported studies and efforts seem insufficient to combat the various types of cancer, especially the advanced ones. The overexpression of tyrosine kinases is associated with cancer proliferation and/or metastasis. VEGF, an important category of tyrosine kinases, and its receptors (VEGFR) are hyper-activated in different cancers. Accordingly, they are known as important factors in the angiogenesis of different tumors and are considered in the development of effective therapeutic approaches for controlling many types of cancer. In this case, targeted therapeutic approaches are preferable to the traditional non-selective approaches to minimize the side effects and drawbacks associated with treatment. Several indole-containing compounds have been identified as effective agents against VEGFR. Herein, we present a summary of the recent indolyl analogs reported within the last decade (2012-2023) with potential antineoplastic and VEGFR inhibitory properties. The most important drugs, natural products, synthesized potent compounds and promising hits/leads are highlighted. Indoles functionalized and conjugated with various heterocycles beside spiroindoles are also considered.

Abstract
A new type of benzopyrone-mediated quinolones (BMQs) was rationally designed and efficiently synthesized as novel potential antibacterial molecules to overcome the global increasingly serious drug resistance. Some synthesized BMQs effectively suppressed the growth of the tested strains, outperforming clinical drugs. Notably, ethylidene-derived BMQ 17a exhibited superior antibacterial potential with low MICs of 0.5-2 μg/mL to clinical drugs norfloxacin, it not only displayed rapid bactericidal performance and inhibited bacterial biofilm formation, but also showed low toxicity toward human red blood cells and normal MDA-kb2 cells. Mechanistic investigation demonstrated that BMQ 17a could effectually induce bacterial metabolic disorders and promote the enhancement of reactive oxygen species to disrupt the bacterial antioxidant defense system. It was found that the active molecule BMQ 17a could not only form supramolecular complex with lactate dehydrogenase, which disturbed the biological functions, but also effectively embed into calf thymus DNA, thus affecting the normal function of DNA and achieving cell death. This work would provide an insight into developing new molecules to reduce drug resistance and expand antibacterial spectrum.

[PMID: 38125538 PMCID: PMC10731006 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Six novel ciprofloxacin-1,2,3-triazole hybrids (6a-f) were synthesized via click reaction, by reacting of methyl 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(4-(3-oxobutanoyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (5) with various aryl azides (9a-f). The new compounds were characterized using High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS), 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. Compounds (6a-f) screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against three cell lines, namely, non-small cell lung cancer (A549), glioblastoma (U-87 MG), and breast cancer (MCF7). Hybrids 6a and 6b exhibited remarkable anti-proliferative activity against all three cell-lines. IC50 values of 6b for all cancer cell lines were significantly lower comparing to the standard reference compound IC50. The IC50 of 6b for the normal cell (HDF) line was significantly higher than the reported for cisplatin [IC50 = 170.7 ± 8.1 μM/ml (HDF), (p ≤ 0.001)], indicating less toxicity towards normal cells and thereby has a better therapeutic index, with a selectivity index of 142.3 for U87 cell line. Compounds 6e, 6d, and 6f displayed significant cytotoxic activity against only U-87 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines, compared to normal cells (HDF). Compound 6f [IC50 = 7.9 ± 2.3 μM/ml (U-87) and 10.6 ± 3 μM/ml (MCF-7)] was more potent than cisplatin [IC50 = 28.3 ± 5.3 μM/ml (U-87) and 26.9 ± 4.7 μM/ml (MCF-7)] in displaying anti-proliferative effect against U-87 and MCF-7 cells, with less cytotoxic to normal cells [IC50 = 141.7 ± 4.1] than cisplatin [IC50 = 40.9 ± 5.4]. Moreover, they were tested for their antioxidant activity in DPPH and ABTS assays and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
New sets of ibuprofen and indomethacin conjugates comprising triazolyl heterocycle were synthesized via click chemistry, adopting an optimized protocol through the molecular hybridization approach affording the targeted agents in good yields. The new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) conjugates were designed and synthesized and could be considered as potential drug candidates for the treatment of pain and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties were investigated for all the synthesized conjugates. Among 14 synthesized conjugates, four (5a, 5b, 5d, and 5e) were found to have significant anti-inflammatory properties potency 117.6%, 116.5%, 93.8%, and 109.1% in comparison to reference drugs ibuprofen (97.2%) and indomethacin (100%) in the rat paw edema carrageenan test without any ulcerogenic liability. The suppression effect of cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS in addition to NO in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells supports the promising anti-inflammatory properties observed in the ibuprofen conjugates. In addition, several conjugates showed promising peripheral and central analgesic activity. The selectivity index (SI) of compound 5a (23.096) indicates the significant efficacy and selectivity for COX-2 over COX-1. Molecular modeling (docking and QSAR) studies described the observed biological properties.

Abstract
The ESKAPE (Escherichia coli/E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus/S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia/K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter Baumannii/A. baumannii, Pseudomonas aeroginosa/P. aeroginosa and Enterobacter spp.) pathogens, which could escape or evade common therapies through diverse antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and biofilm formation, are deemed as highly virulent bacteria responsible for life-threatening diseases, calling for novel chemotherapeutics. Quinolones including 2-quinolones and 4-quinolones have occupied a propitious place in drug design and development due to their excellent pharmacological profiles. Quinolones especially fluoroquinolones could inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid of ESKAPE pathogens, leading to the rupture of bacterial chromosome. However, the resistance of ESKAPE pathogens to quinolones develops rapidly and spreads widely. Accordingly, it has become increasingly urgent to enhance the potency of quinolones against both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens. Quinolone hybrids can bind with different drug targets simultaneously and have been considered as useful prototypes to circumvent drug resistance. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current scenario (2018-present) of quinolone hybrids with potential antibacterial activity against ESKAPE pathogens, together with the structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of action to facilitate further rational design of more effective candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microbial resistance has become a worldwide public health problem, and may lead to morbidity and mortality in affected patients. OBJECTIVE Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of quinone-4-oxoquinoline derivatives. METHOD These derivatives were evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by their antibacterial activity, anti-biofilm, and hemolytic activities and by in silico assays. RESULTS The quinone-4-oxoquinoline derivatives presented broad-spectrum antibacterial activities, and in some cases were more active than commercially available reference drugs. These compounds also inhibited bacterial adhesion and the assays revealed seven non-hemolytic derivatives. The derivatives seem to cause damage to the bacterial cell membrane and those containing the carboxyl group at the C-3 position of the 4-quinolonic nucleus were more active than those containing a carboxyethyl group. CONCLUSION The isoquinoline-5,8-dione nucleus also favored antimicrobial activity. The study showed that the target of the derivatives must be a non-conventional hydrophobic allosteric binding pocket on the DNA gyrase enzyme.

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a highly prevalent parasite that has no gold standard treatment due to the poor action or the numerous side effects. Focused sulfonamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids 3a–c were wisely designed and synthesized via copper catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition approach between prop-2-yn-1-alcohol 1 and sulfa drug azides 2a–c. The newly synthesized click products were fully characterized using different spectroscopic experiments and were loaded onto chitosan nanoparticles to form novel nanoformulations for further anti-Toxoplasma investigation. The current study proved the anti-Toxoplasma effectiveness of all examined compounds in experimentally infected mice. Relative to sulfadiazine, the synthesized sulfonamide-1,2,3-triazole (3c) nanoformulae demonstrated the most promising result for toxoplasmosis treatment as it resulted in 100% survival, 100% parasite reduction along with the remarkable histopathological improvement in all the studied organs.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), an important pathogen of both humans and animals, is able to cause a variety of infections at any site of the body. The evolution of S. aureus resistance is notorious, and the widespread of drug-resistant S. aureus, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has made the treatment difficult in recent decades. Nowadays, S. aureus is among the leading causes of bacterial infections, creating an urgent need for the development of novel antibacterial agents. Ciprofloxacin, characterized by high clinical efficacy, is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent with frequency of prescription for various Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, many of which are resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. However, the long-term and widespread use of this antibiotic has led to the emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant pathogens, and ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus has been noted in clinical practice. Ciprofloxacin hybrids have been recognized as advanced chemical entities to simultaneously modulate multiple drug targets in bacteria, so ciprofloxacin hybrids have the potential to overcome drug resistance. The present review provides an overview of ciprofloxacin hybrids with anti-S. aureus potential that have been reported in the last decade with emphasis on their structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of action.

Abstract
The development of new antibiotics to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria or possess broad-spectrum activity is one of the challenging tasks. Unfortunately, there are not many new antibiotics in clinical trials. So, the molecular hybridization approach could be an effective strategy to develop potential drug candidates using the known scaffolds. We synthesized a total of 31 diverse linezolid conjugates 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 using our established benzotriazole chemistry with good yield and purity. Some of the synthesized conjugates exhibited promising antibacterial properties against different strains of bacteria. Among all the synthesized compounds, 5d is the most promising antibacterial agent with MIC 4.5 µM against S. aureus and 2.25 µM against B. subtilis. Using our experimental data pool, we developed a robust QSAR (R2 = 0.926, 0.935; R2cvOO = 0.898, 0.915; R2cvMO = 0.903, 0.916 for the S. aureus and B. subtilis models, respectively) and 3D-pharmacophore models. We have also determined the drug-like properties of the synthesized conjugates using computational tools. Our findings provide valuable insight into the possible linezolid-based antibiotic drug candidates.

Abstract
QSAR modeling was performed on 39 quinolone-triazole derivatives against gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The molecular structures were optimized using the DFT/B3LYP method and 6-31 G basis set. Molecular descriptors were extracted using quantum mechanical calculations. The hierarchical cluster analysis was performed for a rational subset division. The initial dataset was divided into calibration and validation sets, and modeling was done by stepwise MLR method for each of the two bacteria. Internal and external validation methods confirmed the robustness and predictability of the obtained models. According to the obtained model for S. aureus (R2 = 0.889, R2ext = 0.938, Q2LOO = 0.853), the four descriptors- partial atomic charges for the N1 atom in triazole and C7 of the quinolone nucleus, 4-carbonyl bond length, and 13C-NMR chemical shift of 3-carboxylic acid- were found to be the descriptors controlling the activity. According to the obtained model for P. aeruginosa (R2 = 0.957, R2ext = 0.923, Q2LOO = 0.909), the O atom's partial charge in carbonyl, LUMO-HOMO energy gap, and logP were found to be the descriptors having the highest correlation with the antibacterial activity. Finally, some new compounds with higher activities were designed and proposed.

Abstract
At present therapeutic options for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are very limited. We designed and synthesized three sets of small molecules using quinoline scaffolds. A series of quinoline conjugates (10a-l, 11a-c, and 12a-e) by incorporating 1,2,3-triazole were synthesized via a modified microwave-assisted click chemistry technique. Among the synthesized conjugates, 4-((1-(2-chlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-6-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (10g) and 6-fluoro-4-(2-(1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethoxy)-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (12c) show high potency against SARS-CoV-2. The selectivity index (SI) of compounds 10g and 12c also indicates the significant efficacy compared to the reference drugs.

Abstract
Currently, limited therapeutic options are available for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). We have developed a set of pyrazine-based small molecules. A series of pyrazine conjugates was synthesized by microwave-assisted click chemistry and benzotriazole chemistry. All the synthesized conjugates were screened against the SAR-CoV-2 virus and their cytotoxicity was determined. Computational studies were carried out to validate the biological data. Some of the pyrazine-triazole conjugates (5 d-g) and (S)-N-(1-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-phenylethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide 12 i show significant potency against SARS-CoV-2 among the synthesized conjugates. The selectivity index (SI) of potent conjugates indicates significant efficacy compared to the reference drug (Favipiravir).

Abstract
Bacterial infection is amongst the most common diseases in community and hospital settings. Fluoroquinolones, exerting the antibacterial activity through binding to type II bacterial topoisomerase enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, are mainstays of chemotherapy. At present, fluoroquinolones are the most valuable antibacterial agents used popularly. However, the emergence of more virulent and resistant pathogens by the development of either mutated DNA-binding proteins or efflux pump mechanism for fluoroquinolones results in an urgent demand to develop new fluoroquinolones to withstand the drug resistance and to obtain a broader spectrum of activity. This review aims to outline the recent advances of fluoroquinolone derivatives with antibacterial potential and to summarize the structure-activity relationship (SAR) so as to provide an insight for rational design of more active candidates, covering articles published between January 2018 and June 2021.

Abstract
Background:
Bacterial infections are considered as one of the major global health
threats, so it is very essential to design and develop new antibacterial agents to overcome the
drawbacks of existing antibacterial agents.
Method:
The aim of this work is to synthesize a series of new fluoroquinolone-3-carboxamide
amino acid conjugates by molecular hybridization. We utilized benzotriazole chemistry to synthesize
the desired hybrid conjugates.
Result:
All the conjugates were synthesized in good yields, characterized, evaluated for their antibacterial
activity. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity using methods
adapted from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Synthesized conjugates were tested
for activity against medically relevant pathogens; Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (ATCC 27856) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Enterococcus faecalis
(ATCC 19433).
Conclusion:
The observed antibacterial experimental data indicates the selectivity of our synthesized
conjugates against E.Coli. The protecting group on amino acids decreases the antibacterial
activity. The synthesized conjugates are non-toxic to the normal cell lines. The experimental data
were supported by computational studies.

Abstract
A series of new 1,2,3-triazole-tethered coumarin conjugates linked by N-phenylacetamide was efficiently synthesized via the click chemistry approach in excellent yields. The synthesized conjugates were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal and antioxidant activities. Antifungal activity determination was carried out against fungal strains such as Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Cryptococcus neoformans. Compounds 7b, 7d, 7e, 8b and 8e displayed higher potency than the standard drug miconazole, with lower minimum inhibitory concentration values. Also, compound 7a exhibited potential radical scavenging activity as compared with the standard antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene. In addition, a molecular docking study of the newly synthesized compounds was carried out, and the results showed a good binding mode at the active site of the fungal (C. albicans) P450 cytochrome lanosterol 14α-demethylase enzyme. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were also tested for ADME properties, and they demonstrated potential as good candidates for oral drugs.

Abstract
A series of curcumin bis-conjugates 3a-q, 5a-k and 6a-k were synthesized in good yields utilizing an optimized reaction condition. We explored the effect of different amino acids and protecting groups on biological activities of curcumin. The conjugates were screened for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. Some of the conjugates showed promising biological observations with a potency comparable with the standard references. The variations in biological properties concerning different amino acids and protecting groups are interesting observations. Effects of the synthesized conjugates on splenocytes and the production of nitric oxide by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peritoneal macrophages are correlated with the observed anti-inflammatory properties. We have also established the safety profile of the most active conjugates. Robust 2D-QSAR studies supported and validated biological data.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that senses environmental exogenous and endogenous ligands or xenobiotic chemicals. In particular, exposure of the liver to environmental metabolism-disrupting chemicals contributes to the development and propagation of steatosis and hepatotoxicity. However, the mechanisms for AhR-induced hepatotoxicity and tumor propagation in the liver remain to be revealed, due to the wide variety of AhR ligands. Recently, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analysis using deep neural network (DNN) has shown superior performance for the prediction of chemical compounds. Therefore, this study proposes a novel QSAR analysis using deep learning (DL), called the DeepSnap–DL method, to construct prediction models of chemical activation of AhR. Compared with conventional machine learning (ML) techniques, such as the random forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost, the proposed method achieves high-performance prediction of AhR activation. Thus, the DeepSnap–DL method may be considered a useful tool for achieving high-throughput in silico evaluation of AhR-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
In an effort to improve the antimicrobial activity of norfloxacin, a series of hybrid norfloxacin–thiazolidinedione molecules were synthesized and screened for their direct antimicrobial activity and their anti-biofilm properties. The new hybrids were intended to have a new binding mode to DNA gyrase, that will allow for a more potent antibacterial effect, and for activity against current quinolone-resistant bacterial strains. Moreover, the thiazolidinedione moiety aimed to include additional anti-pathogenicity by preventing biofilm formation. The resulting compounds showed promising direct activity against Gram-negative strains, and anti-biofilm activity against Gram-positive strains. Docking studies and ADMET were also used in order to explain the biological properties and revealed some potential advantages over the parent molecule norfloxacin.

Abstract
Background:
Curcumin is a well-known example of plant origin exhibiting promising diverse biological
properties such as, anti-inflammatory and antitumor as well as poor pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic
properties. This is why effective agents based on its chemical scaffold were explored.
Methods:
A set of 3,5-bis(ylidene)-1-(alkylsulfonyl)piperidin-4-ones were synthesized in excellent yield (80-
96%) through dehydrohalogenation reaction of 3,5-bis(ylidene)-4-piperidinones with the corresponding alkane
sulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. Antiproliferative properties of the synthesized compounds
(dienone/curcumin inspired analogues) were studied by the standard MTT technique.
Results:
Most of the synthesized compounds revealed antiproliferative properties against HCT116 (colon) and
A431 (skin/squamous) cancer cell lines with IC50 values at sub-micromolar level. Compound 36 also exhibited
potency against MCF7 (breast) and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines (IC50 = 2.23, 4.27µM, respectively) higher than
that of the reference standards (IC50 = 3.15, 5.93µM for 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin against MCF7 and A549
cell lines, respectively). Cytotoxic properties of the synthesized compounds against non-cancer RPE1 cell line
supported the safety profile of the effective agents against normal cells. Molecular modeling (3Dpharmacophore
and 2D-QSAR) studies validated the observed bio-properties and explained the parameters
governing activity. Inhibitory properties of compounds 27 and 29 (representative examples of the promising
antiproliferative agents synthesized) supported their mode of action against topoisomerase IIα
Conclusion:
The synthesized scaffold is a promising antitumor agent (with special selectivity against colon and
skin/squamous cancer cell lines) so, it can be considered for further investigation and development of highly
effective hits/leads based on the computational models obtained.

Abstract
The 1,2,3-triazole ring is a major pharmacophore system among nitrogen-containing heterocycles. These five-membered heterocyclic motifs with three nitrogen heteroatoms can be prepared easily using 'click' chemistry with copper- or ruthenium-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. Recently, the 'linker' property of 1,2,3-triazoles was demonstrated, and a novel class of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids and conjugates was synthesised and evaluated as lead compounds for diverse biological targets. These lead compounds have been demonstrated as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, antiviral, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, and neuroprotective agents. The present review summarises advances in lead compounds of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids, conjugates, and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry published in 2018. This review will be useful to scientists in research fields of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are major causative agents responsible for serious nosocomial and community-acquired infections impacting healthcare systems globally. Over several decades, these pathogens have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics significantly affecting morbidity and mortality. Thus, these recalcitrant pathogens are amongst the most formidable microbial pathogens for which international healthcare agencies have mandated active identification and development of new antibacterial agents for chemotherapeutic intervention. In our present work, a series of new quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against ESKAP pathogens and pathogenic mycobacteria. The experiments revealed that 4'c, 4'e, 4'f and 4'h displayed selective and potent inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values ranging from 0.03-0.25 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 4'c and 4'e were found to be benign to Vero cells (CC50 = >5 μg/mL) and displayed promising selectivity index (SI) > 167 and > 83.4 respectively. Additionally, 4'c and 4'e demonstrated equipotent MIC against multiple drug-resistant strains of S. aureus including VRSA, concentration dependent bactericidal activity against S. aureus and synergized with FDA approved drugs. Moreover, compound 4'c exhibited more potent activity in reducing the biofilm and exhibited a PAE of ∼2 h at 10X MIC which is comparable to levofloxacin and vancomycin. In vivo efficacy of 4'c in murine neutropenic thigh infection model revealed that 4'c caused a similar reduction in cfu as vancomycin. Gratifyingly, compounds 4d, 4e, 9a, 9b, 14a, 4'e and 4'f also exhibited anti-mycobacterial activity with MIC values in the range of 2-16 μg/mL. In addition, the compounds were found to be less toxic to Vero cells (CC50 = 12.5->100 μg/mL), thus displaying a favourable selectivity index. The interesting results obtained here suggest the potential utilization of these new quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives as promising antibacterial agents for treating MDR-Staphylococcal and mycobacterial infections.

BACKGROUND Nitrogen heterocyclic rings and sulfonamides have attracted attention of several researchers. RESULTS A series of regioselective imidazole-based mono- and bis-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole-sulfonamide conjugates 4a-f and 6a-f were designed and synthesized. The first step in the synthesis was a regioselective propargylation in the presence of the appropriate basic catalyst (Et3N and/or K2CO3) to afford the corresponding mono-2 and bis-propargylated imidazoles 5. Second, the ligation of the terminal C≡C bond of mono-2 and/or bis alkynes 5 to the azide building blocks of sulfa drugs 3a-f using optimized conditions for a Huisgen copper (I)-catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction yielded targeted 1,2,3-triazole hybrids 4a-f and 6a-f. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 6a emerged as the most potent antimicrobial agent with MIC values ranging between 32 and 64 µg/mL. All synthesized molecules were evaluated against three aggressive human cancer cell lines, PC-3, HepG2, and HEK293, and revealed sufficient antiproliferative activities with IC50 values in the micromolar range (55-106 μM). Furthermore, we conducted a receptor-based electrostatic analysis of their electronic, steric and hydrophobic properties, and the results were in good agreement with the experimental results. In silico ADMET prediction studies also supported the experimental biological results and indicated that all compounds are nonmutagenic and noncarcinogenic. CONCLUSION In summary, we have successfully synthesized novel targeted benzimidazole-1,2,3-triazole-sulfonamide hybrids through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between the mono- or bis-alkynes based on imidazole and the appropriate sulfonamide azide under the optimized Cu(I) click conditions. The structures of newly synthesized sulfonamide hybrids were confirmed by means of spectroscopic analysis. All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities. Our results showed that the benzimidazole-1,2,3-triazole-sulfonamide hybrids inhibited microbial and fungal strains within MIC values from 32 to 64 μg/mL. The antiproliferative evaluation of the synthesized compounds showed sufficient antiproliferative activities with IC50 values in the micromolar range (55-106 μM). In conclusion, compound 6a has remarkable antimicrobial activity. Pharmacophore elucidation of the compounds was performed based on in silico ADMET evaluation of the tested compounds. Screening results of drug-likeness rules showed that all compounds follow the accepted rules, meet the criteria of drug-likeness and follow Lipinski's rule of five. In addition, the toxicity results showed that all compounds are nonmutagenic and noncarcinogenic.

Abstract
Methicillin and vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections are an emerging global health concern leading to increasing morbidity and mortality. Continuous increase in drug resistance has underlined the need for discovery and development of new antibacterial agents acting via novel mechanisms to overcome this pressing issue. In this context, a number of 1,2,3-triazole linked 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as potent antibacterial agents. When evaluated against ESKAP pathogen panel, compounds 7a, 7b, 7c, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i, 9a, 9c, 9d and 9e exhibited significantly selective inhibitory activities towards Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 0.5-4 μg/mL). To understand and confirm the specificity of these compounds, the compounds 7a and 9a were tested against E. coli and A. baumannii in combination with sub-lethal concentrations of Polymyxin B nonapeptide (PMBN) and were found to be inactive. This clearly indicated that these compounds possess specific and potent activity towards S. aureus and are inactive against gram-negative pathogens. Encouragingly, the compounds were also found to be non toxic to Vero cells and displayed favourable selectivity index (SI = 40 to 80). Furthermore, 7a and 9a were found to possess potent inhibitory activity when tested against multidrug resistant S. aureus including strains resistant to vancomycin (MIC values 0.5-32 μg/mL), indicating that the compounds are able to escape current drug-resistance mechanisms. With the potent anti-bacterial activity exhibited the new series of 1,2,3-triazole linked 4(3H)-quinazolinones have emerged as promising candidates for treating multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
