Amygdalin based G-6-P synthase inhibitors as novel preservatives for food and pharmaceutical products.

ABSTRACT: G-6-P synthase enzyme has been involved in the synthesis of the microbial cell wall, and its inhibition may lead to the antimicrobial effect. In the present study, we designed a library of amygdalin derivatives, and two most active derivatives selected on the basis of various parameters viz. dock score, binding energy, and ADMET data using molecular docking software (Schrodinger's Maestro). The selected derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant and antimicrobial potential against several Gram (+ ve), Gram (-ve), as well as fungal strains. The results indicated that synthesized compounds exhibited good antioxidant, antimicrobial, and better preservative efficacy in food preparation as compared to the standard compounds. No significant differences were observed in diff
