Synthesis, In Silico Study, Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of N-phenylbenzamides.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic and antifungal resistance problems have been prevalent in recent decades. One of the efforts to solve the problems is to develop new medicines with more potent antibacterial and antifungal activity. N-phenylbenzamides have the potential to be developed as antibacterial and antifungal medicine. This study aimed to synthesize N-phenylbenzamides and evaluate their in silico and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. The in silico studies conducted absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) predictions along with molecular docking studies. ADMET predictions used pkCSM software online, while the docking studies used MVD software (Molegro ^® Virtual Docker version 5.5) on Aminoglycosid-2 ″-phosphotransferase-IIa (APH2 ″-IIa) enzyme with protein data bank (PDB) ID code 3HAV as antibacterial and aspartic proteinases enzyme (Saps) with PDB ID code 2QZX as an antifungal. In vitro, antibacterial and antifungal tests were carried out using the zone of inhibition (ZOI) method. The five N-phenylbenzamides (3a-e) were successfully synthesized with a high yield. Based on in silico and in vitro studies, compounds 3a-e have antibacterial and antifungal activities, where they can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), and Candida albicans. Therefore, compounds 3a-e can be developed as a topical antibacterial and antifungal agent.

Project description:The discovery of new antimicrobial agents as a means of treating drug-resistant microbial pathogens is of utmost significance to overcome their immense risk to human well-being. The current investigation involves the development, synthesis, and assessment of the antimicrobial efficacy of novel quinoline derivatives incorporating a thiosemicarbazide functionality. To design the target compounds (QST1-QST14), we applied the molecular hybridization approach to link various thiosemicarbazides to the quinoline core with a sulfonyl group. Upon the synthesis and completion of structural characterization via spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, 15N NMR, IR, and HRMS), the title molecules were extensively evaluated for their potential antitubercular, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. N-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(quinolin-8-ylsulfonyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (QST4), the most effective compound against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, was also tested on isoniazid-resistant clinical isolates with katG and inhA promoter mutations. Based on molecular docking studies, QST4 was also likely to demonstrate its antimycobacterial activity through inhibition of the InhA enzyme. Furthermore, three derivatives (QST3, QST4, and QST10) with preferable antimicrobial and drug-like profiles were also shown to be nontoxic against human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. All compounds were optimized by the density functional theory method using B3LYP with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. Structural analysis, natural bond orbital calculations of donor-acceptor interactions, molecular electrostatic potential analysis, and frontier molecular orbital analysis were carried out. Quantum chemical descriptors and charges on the atoms were determined to compare the strengths of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds formed and their stabilities. We determined that the sulfur atom forms a stronger intramolecular hydrogen bond than the nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine atoms in these sulfonyl thiosemicarbazide derivatives.

Project description:The chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrate esters are essential parts of biochemical and medicinal research. A group of methyl β-d-galactopyranoside (β-MGP, 1) derivatives was acylated with 3-bromobenzoyl chloride and 4-bromobenzoyl chloride in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide/triethylamine to obtain 6-O-substitution products, which were subsequently converted into 2,3,4-tri-O-acyl derivatives with different aliphatic and aromatic substituents. Spectroscopic and elemental data exploration of these derivatives confirmed their chemical structures. In vitro biological experiments against five bacteria and two fungi and the prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) revealed ascending antifungal and antibacterial activities compared with their antiviral activities. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) experiments were performed for two derivatives, 3 and 9, based on their antibacterial activities. Most of these derivatives showed >780% inhibition of fungal mycelial growth. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate the chemical descriptors and thermodynamic properties, whereas molecular docking was performed against antibacterial drug targets, including PDB: 4QDI, 5A5E, 7D27, 1ZJI, 3K8E, and 2MRW, and antifungal drug targets, such as PDB: 1EA1 and 1AI9, to identify potential drug candidates for microbial pathogens. A 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation study revealed stable conformation and binding patterns in a stimulating environment by their uniform RMSD, RMSF, SASA, H-bond, and RoG profiles. In silico pharmacokinetic and quantitative structure−activity relationship (QSAR) calculations (pIC50 values 3.67~8.15) suggested that all the designed β-MGP derivatives exhibited promising results due to their improved kinetic properties with low aquatic and non-aquatic toxicities. These biological, structure−activity relationship (SAR) [lauroyl-(CH3(CH2)10CO-) group was found to have potential], and in silico computational studies revealed that the newly synthesized MGP derivatives are potential antibacterial/antifungal candidates and can serve as therapeutic targets for human and plant pathogens.
