Antioxidant activity of novel nitrogen scaffold with docking investigation and correlation of DFT stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Heterocyclic scaffolds are frequently employed in drug development to treat a variety of conditions, including cancers. These substances have the ability to engage covalently or non-covalently with particular residues in the target proteins, inhibiting them. In this study, the formation of N-, S-, and O-containing heterocycles by the interaction of chalcone with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles such as hydrazine, hydroxyl amine, guanidine, urea, and aminothiourea was explored. FT-IR, UV-visible, NMR, and mass spectrometric studies were used to confirm the heterocyclic compounds that were produced. These substances were tested for their antioxidant activity by their capacity to scavenge the artificial radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The strongest antioxidant activity was demonstrated by compound 3 (IC₅₀ = 93.4 μM), whereas compound 8 (IC₅₀ = 448.70 μM) had the lowest activity when compared to vitamin C (IC₅₀ 141.9 μM). Also, the experimental findings and the docking estimation of these heterocyclic compounds with PDBID:3RP8 were in agreement. Additionally, the compounds' global reactivity characteristics, such as HOMO-LUMO gaps, electronic hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, and Mulliken charges, were identified using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis sets. The two chemicals that displayed the best antioxidant activity also had their molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) ascertained using DFT simulations.

Project description:Polytopic organic ligands with hydrazone moiety are at the forefront of new drug research among many others due to their unique and versatile functionality and ease of strategic ligand design. Quantum chemical calculations of these polyfunctional ligands can be carried out in silico to determine the thermodynamic parameters. In this study two new tritopic dihydrazide ligands, N’2, N’6-bis[(1E)-1-(thiophen-2-yl) ethylidene] pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide (L1) and N’2, N’6-bis[(1E)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) ethylidene] pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide (L2) were successfully prepared by the condensation reaction of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic hydrazide with 2-acetylthiophene and 2-acetylpyrrole. The FT-IR, 1H, and 13C NMR, as well as mass spectra of both L1 and L2, were recorded and analyzed. Quantum chemical calculations were performed at the DFT/B3LYP/cc-pvdz/6-311G+(d,p) level of theory to study the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, and thermodynamic properties including changes of ∆H, ∆S, and ∆G for both the ligands. The optimized vibrational frequency and (1H and 13C) NMR obtained by B3LYP/cc-pvdz/6-311G+(d,p) showed good agreement with experimental FT-IR and NMR data. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) calculations were also conducted to find the HOMO, LUMO, and HOMO−LUMO gaps of the two synthesized compounds. To investigate the biological activities of the ligands, L1 and L2 were tested using in vitro bioassays against some Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungus strains. In addition, molecular docking was used to study the molecular behavior of L1 and L2 against tyrosinase from Bacillus megaterium. The outcomes revealed that both L1 and L2 can suppress microbial growth of bacteria and fungi with variable potency. The antibacterial activity results demonstrated the compound L2 to be potentially effective against Bacillus megaterium with inhibition zones of 12 mm while the molecular docking study showed the binding energies for L1 and L2 to be −7.7 and −8.8 kcal mol−1, respectively, with tyrosinase from Bacillus megaterium.
