Background: The frequent uses of antimicrobial agents to treat infections in diabetic patients make them more drug resistance than non diabetic patients which accounts for higher mortality rate of diabetic patients. Therefore, it is a necessity today to synthesize new drugs with dual mode of action as antidiabetic and antibacterial agents. In the present work, new derivatives containing thiazolidinedione and 1,3,4-oxadiaozle have been synthesized and screened for PPAR-γ and antibacterial activities. Methods: Compound 5-12 have been synthesized from 2-methoxy benzaldehyde and thiazolidinedione and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, NMR and mass spectrometry. These compounds were tested for in vitro PPAR-γ transactivation, PPAR-γ gene expression and antibacterial activities. Finally molecular docking was carried out to see the binding interactions of molecules with the target protein. Results: All the compounds follow Lipinski rule suggesting the synthesized derivatives have good drug likeness properties. Compound 11 and 12 exhibited promising PPAR-γ transactivation with 73.69% and 76.50%, respectively as well as showed significant antibacterial activity with comparable MIC of 3.12 μg/disc to standard drug amoxicillin. The docking result was found to be in consistent with the in vitro PPAR-γ transactivation results. Conclusion: Compounds 11 and 12 can be further investigated as lead molecules for the development of new and effective antidiabetic and antibacterial agents.

The wide spread of pathogens resistance requires the development of new antimicrobial agents capable of overcoming drug resistance. The main objective of the study is to elucidate the effect of substitutions in tris(1H-indol-3-yl)methylium derivatives on their antibacterial activity and toxicity to human cells. A series of new compounds were synthesized and tested. Their antibacterial activity in vitro was performed on 12 bacterial strains, including drug resistant strains, that were clinical isolates or collection strains. The cytotoxic effect of the compounds was determined using an test with HPF-hTERT (human postnatal fibroblasts, immortalized with hTERT) cells. The activity of the obtained compounds depended on the carbon chain length. Derivatives with C5–C6 chains were more active. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most active compound on Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA, was 0.5 μg/mL. Compounds with C5–C6 chains also revealed high activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (1.0 and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively) and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (8 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumonia (2 and 8 μg/mL, respectively). However, they have no activity against Salmonella cholerasuis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most active compounds revealed higher antibacterial activity on MRSA than the reference drug levofloxacin, and their ratio between antibacterial and cytotoxic activity exceeded 10 times. The data obtained provide a basis for further study of this promising group of substances.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid derivatives as antimicrobial agents through in vitro, QSAR and molecular docking studies. Methods: The compounds were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial screening by test tube dilution method and the structural characteristics governing the antimicrobial potential were studied using QSAR methodology. These compounds were also screened for docking simulation to find out binding confirmation of reported compounds with PDB 1aj0 and 5fsa using AutoDock tools and discovery studio. Results: The antimicrobial evaluation data indicated that compounds 13 and 18 were found to be the most effective against all the bacterial strains and Aspergillus niger while compounds 1 and 14 exhibited more antifungal potential against Candida albicans. QSAR studies confirmed the role of molar refractivity and Balaban index (J) as controlling parameters for antimicrobial potential. Molecular modeling study revealed that compounds interact with the active site of PDB by hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Wall interactions. Conclusion: These test compounds were identified as potent candidates for the control of microbial strains tested, and structural relationship with activity may provide valuable information for further design and synthesis of compounds with antimicrobial potential.

Objective: A new series 2-phenyl-3-(substituted benzo[d] thiazol-2-ylamino)-quinazoline-4(3H)-one was prepared by the fusion method by reacting 2-phenyl benzoxazine with 2-hydrazino benzothiazole and it was evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against gram positive, gram negative bacteria and fungi.Methods: Titled compounds were synthesized by fusion reactions. These compounds were evaluated by in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity using the minimum inhibitory concentration and zone of inhibition methods. The synthesized compounds were characterized with the help of infrared, NMR and mass spectral studies. The benzothiazole moiety and the quinazoline ring have previously shown DNA gyrase inhibition and target related antibacterial activity. Thus, molecular docking studies of synthesized compounds were carried out (PDB: 3G75) to study the possible interaction of compounds with the target. The batch grid docking was performed to determine the probable.Results: These compounds showed significant activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well against the fungi. The compound A5 was found to be active against B. subtilis, P aeruginosa and C. albican at 12.5 µg/ml MIC. The compound A3 was found to be active against all microbial strains selected at 25 and 12.5 µg/ml MIC.Conclusion: Though the relationship between the activities shown by these compounds in, the antimicrobial study is still to be established, the docking studies conducted found to be consistent with antimicrobial results. Thus the results indicate that the designed structure can be a potential lead as an antimicrobial agent.

Fifteen novel dithiocarbamate-derived naphthalimides as a type of potential anticancer and antimicrobial agents were synthesized and characterized by spectral and analytical techniques. The structures of 2b, 5a, and 7b were established by X-ray crystallography. Their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated by the MTT method against MDA-MB-231, HepG-2, PC12, as well as A549. Based on the results of the MTT assay, compound 7c bearing a morpholinyl substituent displayed the highest activity and selectivity toward HepG-2 cancer cells with an IC50 of 10.86 µM. All new compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The preliminary results showed that compound 7d (an N-methyl piperazine) showed high efficacy against B. subtilis with a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 7.6 µM, which was superior to that of the clinical drug, Cefuroxim. It is found that the anticancer and antibacterial activities of the dithiocarbamate-naphthalimide derivatives were significantly enhanced when bearing a 1,2,3-triazole group.
