Crystallographic, experimental (FT-IR and FT-RS) and theoretical (DFT) investigation, UV-Vis, MEP, HOMO-LUMO and NBO/NLMO of (E)-1-[1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethylidene]thiosemicarbazide

Discovery of new molecular hybrid derivatives with coumarin scaffold bearing pyrazole/oxadiazole moieties: Molecular docking, POM analyses, in silico pharmacokinetics and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation with identification of potent antitumor pharmacophore sites

This synthetic organic methodology involves the creation of novel coumarin-based hybrids of series (1-4) with pyrazole ring and (5-8) with oxadiazole moiety. The targeted compounds were tested for In vitro Antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans pathogenic microbes using disc diffusion and broth microdilution with ciprofloxacin and fluconazole as reference standards. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were used to study atomic structure and reactivity, including absolute electronegativity (χ), electrophilicity (ω), electron acceptor (ω+), donor capabilities (ω-), electron affinity (EA), energy gap (ΔE), global hardness (η), global softness (S), and ionisation potential (IP) and FMOs, NBOs, MEP, and Mulliken Charge analysis. The POM tests found three integrated pharmacophore sites with antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer activities. Molecular docking studies are also used to determine the S. aureus nucleoside diphosphate kinase receptor's affinity and mode of action for the synthesized drugs. In silico analysis of thermodynamic and therapeutic effectiveness properties, including Lipinski's 'rule of five', Veber's rule, and ADME properties, predicted toxicity-free, non-carcinogenic, and risk-free oral administration of the synthesized complexes.

Conformational analysis, X-ray crystallographic, FT-IR, FT-Raman, DFT, MEP and molecular docking studies on 1-(1-(3-methoxyphenyl) ethylidene) thiosemicarbazide

Conformational analysis, X-ray crystallographic, FT-IR, FT-Raman, DFT, MEP and molecular docking studies on 1-(1-(3-methoxyphenyl) ethylidene) thiosemicarbazide (MPET) are investigated. From conformational analysis the examination of the positions of a molecule taken and the energy changes is observed. The docking studies of the ligand MPET with target protein showed that this is a good molecule which docks well with target related to HMG-CoA. Hence MPET can be considered for developing into a potent anti-cholesterol drug. MEP assists in optimization of electrostatic interactions between the protein and the ligand. The MEP surface displays the molecular shape, size and electrostatic potential values. The optimized geometry of the compound was calculated from the DFT-B3LYP gradient calculations employing 6-31G (d, p) basis set and calculated vibrational frequencies are evaluated via comparison with experimental values.
