Abstract
We generated novel elven 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimides and tetrahydroquinazoline derivatives from 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (1) in response to our interest in using the anhydrides to produce heterocyclic nitrogen compounds. The elemental and spectral analyses of the produced compounds validated the recommended configurations and MOE 2014.09 (Molecular Operating Environment) computations were used to perform their in silico analysis. The synthesized compounds have been analyzed and put through various experiments, including in vitro and in silico methods to assess their biological activity against Escherichia coli Penicillin-Binding Protein 3 (PBP3) and Staphylococcus aureus Penicillin-Binding Protein 2 (PBP2), among these compounds showing promising data as antibacterial drugs.

Design, synthesis, and molecular modeling studies of novel 2-quinolone-1,2,3-triazole-α-aminophosphonates hybrids as dual antiviral and antibacterial agents. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 268:116235. [PMID: 38377828 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
With the aim to identify new antiviral agents with antibacterial properties, a series of 2-quinolone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing α-aminophosphonates was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, single crystal XRD and HRMS analyses. These compounds were examined against five RNA viruses (YFV, ZIKV, CHIKV, EV71 and HRV) from three distinct families (Picornaviridae, Togaviridae and Flaviviridae) and four bacterial strains (S. aureus, E. feacalis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa). The α-aminophosphonates 4f, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4p and 4q recorded low IC50 values of 6.8-10.91 μM, along with elevated selectivity indices ranging from 2 to more than 3, particularly against YFV, CHIKV and HRV-B14. Besides, the synthesized compounds were generally more sensitive toward Gram-positive bacteria, with the majority of them displaying significant potency against E. feacalis. Specifically, an excellent anti-enterococcus activity was obtained by compound 4q with MIC and MBC values of 0.03 μmol/mL, which were 8.7 and 10 times greater than those of the reference drugs ampicillin and rifampicin, respectively. Also, compounds 4f, 4p and 4q showed potent anti-staphylococcal activity with MIC values varying between 0.11 and 0.13 μmol/mL, compared to 0.27 μmol/mL for ampicillin. The results from DFT and molecular docking simulations were in agreement with the biological assays, proving the binding capability of hybrids 4f, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4p and 4q with viral and bacterial target enzymes through hydrogen bonds and other non-covalent interactions. The in silico ADME/Tox prediction revealed that these molecules possess moderate to good drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties, with a minimal chance of causing liver toxicity or carcinogenic effects.

Development and radiosterilization of new hydrazono-quinoline hybrids as DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors: Antimicrobial and hemolytic activities against uropathogenic isolates with molecular docking study. Chem Biol Drug Des 2023; 101:245-270. [PMID: 36305722 DOI: 10.1111/cbdd.14154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize new potent quinoline derivatives based on hydrazone moieties and evaluate their antimicrobial activity. The newly synthesized hydrazono-quinoline derivatives 2, 5a, 9, and 10b showed the highest antimicrobial activity with MIC values ≤1.0 μg/ml against bacteria and ≤8.0 μg/ml against the fungi. Further, these derivatives exhibited bactericidal and fungicidal effects with MBC/MIC and MFC/MIC ratio ≤4. Surprisingly, the most active compounds displayed good inhibition to biofilm formation with MBEC values ranging between (40.0 ± 10.0 - 230.0 ± 31.0) and (67.0 ± 24.0 - 347.0 ± 15.0) μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. The hemolytic assays confirmed that the hydrazono-quinoline derivatives are non-toxic with low % lysis values ranging from 4.62% to 14.4% at a 1.0 mg/ml concentration. Besides, compound 5a exhibited the lowest hemolytic activity value of ~4.62%. Furthermore, the study suggests that the hydrazono-quinoline analogs exert their antibacterial activity as dual inhibitors for DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV enzymes with IC50 values ranging between (4.56 ± 0.3 - 21.67 ± 0.45) and (6.77 ± 0.4 - 20.41 ± 0.32) μM, respectively. Additionally, the recent work advocated that compound 5a showed the reference SAL at the ɣ-radiation dose of 10.0 kGy in the sterilization process without affecting its chemical structure. Finally, the in silico drug-likeness, toxicity properties, and molecular docking simulation were performed. Besides, the result exhibited good oral-bioavailability, lower toxicity prediction, and lower binding energy with good binding mode rather than the positive control.

A new exploration toward adamantane derivatives as potential anti-MDR agents: Design, synthesis, antimicrobial, and radiosterilization activity as potential topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase inhibitors. Drug Dev Res 2022; 83:1305-1330. [PMID: 35716118 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.21960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Developing novel antimicrobial agents has become a necessitate due to the increasing rate of microbial resistance to antibiotics. All the newly adamantane derivatives were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against six MDR clinical pathogenic isolates. The results exhibited that 13 compounds have from potent to good activity. Among those, five derivatives (6, 7, 9, 14a, and 14b) displayed the potent activities against the different isolates tested (MIC < 0.25 µg/ml with bacteria and <8 µg/ml with fungi) compared with Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Fluconazole (FCA). Additionally, the potent adamantanes showed bactericidal and fungicidal effects based on (MBCs and MFCs) and the time-kill assay. The most active adamantane derivatives 7 and 14b exhibited a synergistic effect of ΣFIC ≤ 0.5 with CIP and FCA against the bacterial and fungal isolates. Moreover, no antagonistic effect appeared for the tested derivatives. Additionally, the interaction of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes with the compounds 6, 7, 9, 14a, and 14b exhibited potent antimicrobial activity using in vitro biochemical assays and gel-based DNA-supercoiling inhibition method. The activity of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes showed inhibitory activity (IC50 ) of 6.20 µM and 9.40 µM with compound 7 and 10.14 µM and 13.28 µM with compound 14b, respectively. Surprisingly, exposing compound 7 to gamma irradiation sterilized and increased its activity. Finally, the in-silico analysis predicted that the most active derivatives had good drug-likeness and safe properties. Besides, molecular docking and quantum chemical studies revealed several important interactions inside the active sites and showed the structural features necessary for activity.

Antibacterial and molecular docking studies of newly synthesized nucleosides and Schiff bases derived from sulfadimidines. Sci Rep 2021; 11:17953. [PMID: 34504157 PMCID: PMC8429437 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97297-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
A new series of nucleosides, moieties, and Schiff bases were synthesized from sulfadimidine. Infrared (IR), 1HNMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques and elemental analysis were employed to elucidate the synthesized compounds. The prepared analogues were purified by different chromatographic techniques (preparative TLC and column chromatography). Molecular docking studies of synthesized compounds 3a, 4b, 6a, and 6e demonstrated the binding mode involved in the active site of DNA gyrase. Finally, all synthesized compounds were tested against selected bacterial strains. The most effective synthesized compounds against S. aureus were 3a, 4d, 4b, 3b, 3c, 4c, and 6f, which exhibited inhibition zones of inhibition of 24.33 ± 1.528, 24.67 ± 0.577, 23.67 ± 0.577, 22.33 ± 1.528, 18.67 ± 1.528 and 19.33 ± 0.577, respectively. Notably, the smallest zones were observed for 4a, 6d, 6e and 6g (6.33 ± 1.528, 11.33 ± 1.528, 11.67 ± 1.528 and 14.66 ± 1.155, respectively). Finally, 6b and 6c gave negative zone values. K. pneumoniae was treated with the same compounds and the following results were obtained. The most effective compounds were 4d, 4c, 4b and 3c, which showed inhibition zones of 29.67 ± 1.528, 24.67 ± 0.577, 23.67 ± 1.155 and 19.33 ± 1.528, respectively, followed by 4a and 3d (15.33 ± 1.528 for both), while moderate results (13.67 ± 1.155 and 11.33 ± 1.528) were obtained for 6f and 6g, respectively. Finally, 6a, 6b, 6c, 3a, and 3b did not show any inhibition. The most effective compounds observed for the treatment of E. coli were 4d, 4b, 4c, 3d, 6e and 6f (inhibition zones of 26.33 ± 0.577, 21.67 ± 1.528, 21.67 ± 1.528, 19.67 ± 1.528, 17.67 ± 1.155 and 16.67 ± 1.155, respectively). Compounds 3b, 3c, 6a, 6c, and 6g gave moderate results (13.67 ± 1.528, 12.67 ± 1.528, 11.33 ± 0.577, 15.33 ± 1.528 and 12.67 ± 1.528, respectively), while 6b showed no effect. The MIC values against S. aureus ranged from 50 to 3.125 mg, while those against E. coli and K. pneumoniae ranged from 50 to 1562 mg. In vitro, the antibacterial effects were promising. Further research is required to study the in vivo antibacterial effects of these compounds and determine therapeutic doses.
