A new series of hydrazide based Schiff base metal Cu(II)/Zn(II) complexes of the type [Cu(L1-L4)2] and [Zn(L1-L4)2] has been synthesized and characterized by various analytical and spectral techniques. The proposed geometry of metal complexes, square planar for Cu2+ ion and tetrahedral for Zn2+ ion was confirmed by the spectral and analytical results. DNA interaction with metal complexes was explored by spectral and molecular docking analysis. The results obtained indicates that Cu(II)/Zn(II) complexes interaction with DNA via an intercalative binding mode and its respective intrinsic binding constant (Kb) was found in the order of 7 > 8 > 5 > 6 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2. Further, similar interactions of these metal complexes with BSA were found in the same order of binding constant. Furthermore, the complexes showed moderate cleavage ability with pUC19 DNA. Cytotoxicity studies confirmed the biological importance of the Schiff base complexes.

Recently, heterogeneous catalysts have been explored eximiously in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Therefore, here we used solid-supported heterogeneous silica sulfuric acid as a catalyst for the synthesis of Schiff's base of 3-chloroformylcoumarin in view of simplified procedure, reusability and acceptable efficiency, which are required in organic synthesis. An efficient and facile methodology is preferred for synthesis of a class of chromeno-3-substituted derivatives ( 1a–1l ) with good yields. The molecular docking results showed excellent binding interactions with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA-D148G mutant (PDB: 4DQU). The same biomolecules were screened for their in vitro anti-tubercular activity against the M.tb H37Rv strain and antimicrobial studies. Physico-chemistry, toxicity prediction with IC50 value and bioactivity score were also calculated for title compounds. Most active compounds were further tested for cytotoxicity studies and exhibited low-level cytotoxicity against Vero cells. The suggested conjugates are promising lead compounds for the subsequent investigation in search of new anti-tubercular agents. All the conjugates were obtained within the range and followed the Lipinski rule of 5, indicating more ‘drug-like’ nature.

Novel one-pot synthesis naphtho[2,3-g]phthalazine (1a–1k) of Mannich base derivatives can be achieved via grindstone chemistry using a Tel-Cu-NPs (telmisartan-copper nanoparticles) catalyst. This method offers efficient mild reaction conditions and high yields. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was evaluated for all synthesized compounds, along with analysis of kinetic behavior and molecular docking studies. The synthesized compound, 1c was (IC50 = 11.5 µM) more active than kojic acid (IC50 = 78.0 µM). Lineweaver Burk plots were used to analyze the kinetic behavior of the most active compound 1c, it was reversible and competitive behavior. Compound 1c and kojic acid occurred in the presence of 2-hydroxyketone, which has the same inhibitory mechanism. The molecular docking of compound 1c and the control kojic acid were docked against 2Y9X protein via the Schrodinger Suite. The compound 1c showed a respectable dock score (−5.6 kcal/mol) compared to kojic acid with a dock score of (−5.2 kcal/mol) in the 2Y9X protein. Cytotoxicity activity was also evaluated by using HepG2 (liver), MCF-7 (breast), and HeLa (cervical) cancer cell lines, and high activity for 1c (GI50 = 0.01, 0.03, and 0.04 µM, respectively) against all cell lines was found compared to standard and other compounds. Therefore, this study succeeded in testing a few promising molecules as potential antityrosinase agents.

To develop new antimicrobial agents, a series of novel thiourea derivatives incorporated with different moieties 2–13 was designed and synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated. Compounds 7a, 7b and 8 exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and the fungal Aspergillus flavus with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranged from 0.95 ± 0.22 to 3.25 ± 1.00 μg/mL. Furthermore, cytotoxicity studies against MCF-7 cells revealed that compounds 7a and 7b were the most potent with IC50 values of 10.17 ± 0.65 and 11.59 ± 0.59 μM, respectively. On the other hand, the tested compounds were less toxic against normal kidney epithelial cell lines (Vero cells). The in vitro enzyme inhibition assay of 8 displayed excellent inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli DNA B gyrase and moderate one against E. coli Topoisomerase IV (IC50 = 0.33 ± 1.25 and 19.72 ± 1.00 µM, respectively) in comparison with novobiocin (IC50 values 0.28 ± 1.45 and 10.65 ± 1.02 µM, respectively). Finally, the molecular docking was done to position compound 8 into the E. coli DNA B and Topoisomerase IV active pockets to explore the probable binding conformation. In summary, compound 8 may serve as a potential dual E. coli DNA B and Topoisomerase IV inhibitor.
