Synthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Activity, and Computer-Aided Design of Novel Quinazolin-2,4-dione Derivatives as Potential Inhibitors Against Vibrio cholerae.

ABSTRACT: Cholera is a bacterial disease featured by dehydration and severe diarrhea. It is mainly caused by alimentary infection with Vibrio cholerae. Due to the wide applicability of quinazolin-2,4-dione compounds in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, a new series of N-containing heterocyclic compounds was synthesized. We used the in silico docking method to test the efficacy of quinazolin-2,4-dione compounds in the prevention of cholera in humans. The newly synthesized compounds showed strong interactions and good binding affinity to outer membrane protein OmpU. Moreover, the pharmacokinetic properties of the newly synthesized compounds, such as absorption, distribution, metabolic, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET), were predicted through in silico methods.
