In Vitro Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities and Molecular Docking Analysis of Phytochemicals from Cadia purpurea Roots.

ABSTRACT: Phytochemicals and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Cadia purpurea roots were investigated herein for the first time. The phytochemical study led to the isolation of two compounds, di-(2-methylheptyl) phthalate (1) and 13-O-pyrrolecarboxyl lupanine (2), from methanol roots extract of C. purpurea. The antibacterial activity results revealed that the n-hexane extract presented a better inhibitory value (13.8 ± 0.0 mm) followed by chloroform (11.1 ± 0.4 mm) and chloroform : methanol (1 : 1) (10.7 ± 0.1 mm) extracts against E. coli at the maximum dose of 100 mg/mL. While, methanolic and ethanolic extracts displayed a mild activity against same bacterium at same dose. The methicillin resistant S. aureus was found with almost total resistance to all extracts up to the 100 mg/mL. The chloroform : methanol (1 : 1), chloroform, and n-hexane extracts recorded inhibition zone values (8.0 ± 0.0-10.0 ± 0.1 mm, 7.7 ± 0.0-9.8 ± 0.1 mm, and 7.3 ± 0.2-8.9 ± 0.2 mm, respectively) better than chloramphenicol (7.2 ± 0.6 mm at 30 μg dose) against P. aeruginosa. The alcoholic extracts also exhibited an activity better than chloramphenicol up to 25 mg/mL against same bacterium. Compound 2 produced a comparable inhibition value (9.6 ± 0.0 mm to 18.5 ± 0.0 mm) to that of chloramphenicol (21.5 ± 0.3 mm) against E. coli at doses up to 1.0 mg/mL; whereas, compound 1 showed a slight activity (7.1 ± 0.1 mm-10.3 ± 0.0 mm). Both compounds were found generally inactive against S. aureus, while they provided an activity better than chloramphenicol (7.2 ± 0.6 mm) against P. aeruginosa with inhibition zones ranging from 7.1 ± 0.0 mm to 9.0 ± 0.1 mm for compound 1 and 7.2 ± 0.0 mm to 10.6 ± 0.0 mm for compound 2. Ethanolic and methanolic extracts exhibited a better DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀ values of 12.9 and 16.03 μg/mL, respectively) and strong ferric ion reducing power (with absorbance of 0.788 ± 0.000 and 0.810 ± 0.001, respectively) at a concentration of 500 μg/mL compared to the other extracts. Compound 1 also possessed a better anti-DPPH trapping activity (IC₅₀, 7.99 μg/mL) than compound 2 (IC₅₀, 58.34 μg/mL). The compounds, however, indicated a weak ferric ion reduction power even at higher amount. In general, the observed antibacterial and antioxidant activities of isolated compounds and extracts were found to be dose-dependent. Conducting further biochemical investigations on all parts of this plant could provide opportunities of finding extra alkaloidal compounds and other phthalate derivatives with better biological activity.

Project description:Ziziphus spina-christi (Rhamnaceae family) is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat dandruff, wounds, hair loss, diarrhea, mastitis, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal complications. To support this, the present work aims to study the in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities of compound isolates from the roots of Ziziphus spina-christi along with their in silico computational analyses. Compounds were isolated on silica gel column chromatography and an agar disc diffusion and DPPH radical scavenging assays were employed to study the antibacterial and antioxidant activities, respectively. The ADME and toxicity properties of the compounds were evaluated using SwissADME and ProTox-II online Web tools, respectively. Conversely, the in silico molecular docking studies were attained via a Biovia Discovery Studio Visualizer 2021 in combination with the AutoDock Vina software. The silica gel chromatographic separation of the combined CH2Cl2 : CH3OH (1 : 1) and CH3OH root extracts afforded trimethyl trilinolein (1), stearic acid (2), 13-hydroxyoctadeca-9, 11-dienoic acid (3), β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6'-O-palmitate (4), and stigmasterol (5). Notably, the in vitro antibacterial study revealed the extract and β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6'-O-palmitate (4) with the highest inhibitory activities (15.25 ± 0.35 and 14.25 ± 0.35 mm, respectively) against E. coli compared to ciprofloxacin (21.00 ± 0.35 mm) at 2 mg/mL. The CH2Cl2 : CH3OH (1 : 1) extract (IC50 : 1.51 µg/mL) and β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6'-O-palmitate (4) (IC50 : 5.41 µg/mL) also exhibited auspicious DPPH scavenging activities, followed by stigmasterol (5) (IC50 : 6.88 µg/mL) compared to the ascorbic acid standard (IC50 : 0.46 µg/mL). The molecular docking analyses unveiled the highest binding affinity by β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6'-O-palmitate (4) (-8.0 kcal/mol) against P. aeruginosa PqsA relative to the ciprofloxacin standard (-8.2 kcal/mol). Furthermore, the organ toxicity predictions showed that all the compounds exhibit no hepatotoxicity and cytotoxicity effects and stigmasterol (5) affords drug-likeness protocols. Overall, the combined experimental and computational investigations of this study support the traditional uses of Ziziphus spina-christi for antibacterial and natural antioxidant applications.

Project description:Melhania zavattarii Cufod is an endemic plant species to Ethiopia and is used to treat ailments related to kidney infection. The phytochemical composition and biological activity of M. zavattarii have been not reported yet. Therefore, the present work aimed to investigate phytochemical constituents and evaluate the antibacterial activity of different solvents' leaf extracts and analyze the molecular binding capacity of isolated compounds from the chloroform leaf extract of M. zavattarii. Accordingly, preliminary phytochemical screening was tested by using standard procedures and the result indicated that phytosterols and terpenoids as major and others like alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, phlobatannin, and coumarins were detected as minor in extracts. Antibacterial activity of the extracts was evaluated using the disk diffusion agar method, and the activities revealed that chloroform extract showed the highest inhibition zones, 12.08 ± 0.38, 14.00 ± 0.50, and 15.58 ± 0.63 mm against Escherichia coli at 50, 75, and 125 mg/mL concentrations, respectively, compared to that of n-hexane and methanol extracts at respective concentrations. Methanol extract showed the highest zone of inhibition 16.42 + 0.52 against Staphylococcus aureus at 125 mg/mL concentration compared to that of n-hexane and chloroform extracts. Two compounds, namely, β-amyrin palmitate (1) and lutein (2) were isolated and identified for the first time from the chloroform leaf extract of M. zavattarii, and structural elucidations of these compounds were accomplished by using spectroscopic methods (IR, UV, and NMR). For the molecular docking study, 1G2A, which is a protein of E. coli and chloramphenicol standard target, was selected. Binding energies of -9.09, -7.05, and -6.87 kcal/mol were calculated for β-amyrin palmitate, lutein, and chloramphenicol, respectively. The drug-likeness property result indicated that both β-amyrin palmitate and lutein violated two rules of Lipinski's rule of five with molecular weight (g/mol) > 500 and LogP > 4.15. In the near future, further phytochemical investigation and biological activity evaluation should be conducted on this plant.

Project description:BackgroundQuinolines have demonstrated various biological activities such as antimalarial, antibacterial and anticancer. Hence, compounds with such scaffold have been used as lead in drug development. This project is, therefore, aimed to synthesis and evaluates some biological activities of quinoline analogs.Methods2-Chloro-7-fluoroquinoline-3-carbaldehydes were synthesized by the application of Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. The chlorine in the fluoroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde was replaced with various nucleophiles. The aldehyde functional group was also converted to carboxylic acid and imine groups using oxidizing agent and various amines, respectively. The structures of the compounds synthesized were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Disc diffusion and DPPH assays were used to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities, respectively. The in silico molecular docking analysis of the synthesized compounds were done using AutoDock Vina against E. coli DNA Gyrase B and human topoisomerase IIα. The drug likeness properties were assessed using SwissADME and PreADMET.ResultsNine novel quinoline derivatives were synthesized in good yields. The in vitro antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was beyond 9.3 mm inhibition zone (IZ). Compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, and 16 exhibited activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and S. pyogenes with IZ ranging from 7.3 ± 0.67 to 15.3 ± 0.33 mm at 200 μg/mL. Compound 9 displayed IZ against three of the bacterial strains except S. aureus. The IC50 for the radical scavenging activity of the synthesized compounds were from 5.31 to 16.71 μg/mL. The binding affinities of the synthesized compounds were from - 6.1 to - 7.2 kcal/mol against E. coli DNA gyrase B and - 6.8 to - 7.4 kcal/mol against human topoisomerase IIα. All of the synthesized compounds obeyed Lipinski's rule of five without violation.ConclusionCompounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, and 16 displayed activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains indicating that these compounds might be used as broad spectrum bactericidal activity. Compound 8 (13.6 ± 0.22 mm) showed better IZ against P. aeruginosa compared with ciprofloxacin (10.0 ± 0.45 mm) demonstrating the potential of this compound as antibacterial agent against this strain. Compounds 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 showed comparable binding affinities in their in silico molecular docking analysis against E. coli DNA gyrase B. All of the synthesized compounds also obeyed Lipinski's rule of five without violation which suggests these compounds as antibacterial agents for further study. Compounds 7 and 8 were proved to be a very potent radical scavenger with IC50 values of 5.31 and 5.41 μg/mL, respectively. Compound 5, 6, 8, 10 and 16 had comparable binding affinity against human topoisomerase IIα suggesting these compounds as a possible candidate for anticancer drugs.

Project description:The main aims of this investigation were the isolation of dimeric naphthoquinones, a new class of dinaphthodiospyrols (1-7), from chloroform fractions and screening them for antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant potential. The susceptibility of the isolated compounds, namely, dinaphthodiospyrol A (1), dinaphthodiospyrol B (2), dinaphthodiospyrol C (3), dinaphthodiospyrol D (4), dinaphthodiospyrol E (5), dinaphthodiospyrol F (6), and dinaphthodiospyrol G (7) was assessed for antibacterial potential using well diffusion methods. The isolated compounds showed excellent antibacterial activity against selected bacterial strains, including Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus epidermis, and Bacillus subtilis, and Gram-negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumonia with the zones of inhibition 6 to 26 nm. The standard drug Imipenem showed a maximum inhibitory zone 30 to 35 nm. Similarly, the isolated compounds were screened for antifungal properties, which showed an excellent reduction in the growth of selected fungal strain including Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium solani, Trichyton logifusus, Microsporum canis , and Candida glabrata. Among all the screened compounds, 7 exhibited good activity (30-49 mm), followed by compounds 5 and 6, (35-46 mm), while compounds 1-4 showed a moderate effect (8-28 mm) against the selected fungal strain against miconazole which showed potent effects (101-110.98 mm). The isolated compounds were also screened for 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activity. In vitro-based free radical was employed using ascorbic acid as a standard antioxidant. The tested compounds (1-7) exhibited significant antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The dinaphthodiospyrol 7 exhibited 97.32% scavenging activity, followed by dinaphthodiospyrol 6, 92.01%, and compounds 5 and 4 with 89.90 and 88.43% scavenging activity at 100 μg/mL, respectively; ascorbic acid showed 96.45% scavenging effect. Furthermore, docking analysis was performed to know the exact binding mode of the tetra-substituted derivatives of dinaphthodiospyrols to the selected target proteins. From the docking analysis, it was found that the docking results are well correlated with the experimental observations. In conclusion, the dinaphthodiospyrols exhibited excellent antibacterial, antifungal, and free radical scavenging potential.
