Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies of 2-[5-(4-methyl-benz-yl)-6-oxo-3-phenyl-1,6-di-hydro-pyridazin-1-yl]acetic acid

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, Antibacterial Activity, and Computational Studies of Novel Pyridazinone Derivatives

In this work, a novel series of pyridazinone derivatives (3-17) were synthesized and characterized by NMR (¹H and ¹³C), FT-IR spectroscopies, and ESI-MS methods. All synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (Methicillin-resistant), Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Among the series, compounds 7 and 13 were found to be active against S. aureus (MRSA), P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii with the lowest MIC value range of 3.74-8.92 µM. Afterwards, DFT calculations of B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level were carried out to investigate geometry structures, frontier molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential maps, and gap energies of the synthesized compounds. In addition, the activities of these compounds against various bacterial proteins were compared with molecular-docking calculations. Finally, ADMET studies were performed to investigate the possibility of using of the target compounds as drugs.

Synthesis, spectroscopy, crystal structure, TGA/DTA study, DFT and molecular docking investigations of (E)-4-(4-methylbenzyl)-6-styrylpyridazin-3(2H)-one

In this study, we present the synthesis of novel pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivative namely (E)-4-(4-methylbenzyl)-6-styrylpyridazin-3(2H)-one (MBSP). The chemical structure of MBSP was characterized using spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV-Vis, ESI-MS, and finally, the structure was confirmed by single X-ray diffraction studies. The DFT calculation was performed to compare the gas-phase geometry of the title compound to the solid-phase structure of the title compound. Furthermore, a comparative study between theoretical UV-Vis, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C NMR spectra of the studied compound and experimental ones have been carried out. The thermal behavior and stability of the compound were analyzed by using TGA and DTA techniques which revealed that the compound is thermostable up to its melting point. Finally, the in silico docking and ADME studies are performed to investigate whether MBSP is a potential therapeutic for COVID-19.

Polymorphism of 2-(5-benzyl-6-oxo-3-phenyl-1,6-di-hydro-pyridazin-1-yl)acetic acid with two monoclinic modifications: crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses

Two polymorphs of the title compound, C19H16N2O3, were obtained from ethano-lic (polymorph I) and methano-lic solutions (polymorph II), respectively. Both polymorphs crystallize in the monoclinic system with four formula units per cell and a complete mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The main difference between the mol-ecules of (I) and (II) is the reversed position of the hy-droxy group of the carb-oxy-lic function. All other conformational features are found to be similar in the two mol-ecules. The different orientation of the OH group results in different hydrogen-bonding schemes in the crystal structures of (I) and (II). Whereas in (I) inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the pyridazinone carbonyl O atom as acceptor generate chains with a C(7) motif extending parallel to the b-axis direction, in the crystal of (II) pairs of inversion-related O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R 2 2(8) ring motif between two carb-oxy-lic functions are found. The inter-molecular inter-actions in both crystal structures were analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.
