A series of Schiff bases 14–25 were designed and synthesized for evaluation of their antibacterial properties against multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDRB). The antibacterial activities of Schiff bases 14–25 showed that most of the synthesized compounds displayed a significant antibacterial activity. Assessment of in silico ADMET properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) of Schiff bases illustrates that all derivatives showed agreement to the Lipinski’s rule of five. Further enzymatic assay aided by molecular docking study demonstrated that compound 18 is a potent inhibitor of staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase and dihydrofolate reductase kinases. This study could be valuable in the discovery of new potent antimicrobial agents.

Background: Cancer is a very serious public health problem ranking as the second leading cause of death worldwide. Angiogenesis plays a vital role as a prerequisite for tumor growth and metastasis, and is indispensable in the further stage advancement of cancer. Objective: Targeting several enzymes and receptors in angiogenesis’ signal transduction pathway will likely offer many more prospects for successful and superior therapeutic intervention. Method: Thus, druggable targets in the angiogenesis pathway such as pro-MMP9, MMP-9, EGFR, VEGF-A, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, c-MET kinase, KIT kinase, CSF1R, TIE-2, and RET tyrosine kinase were the subject of this molecular docking study involving Alpinumisoflavone (AIF), a multi-targeted natural product with known anticancer activities. Results: The results showed that AIF exhibited good binding affinity with all the selected key angiogenesis promoting proteins with greatest in silico activity in MMP-9 and VEGFR-2. Moreover, in silico ADMET studies showed that AIF has good intestinal absorption property and solubility, and very low probability of being carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic to embryo or fetus. Conclusion: Molecular docking study revealed that Alpinumisoflavone (AIF) could serve as a promising lead in the development of angiogenesis (multikinase) inhibitor based on its predicted binding affinity with vital angiogenesis targets.

A series of 1-(5-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)furan-2-yl)-4,5-dihyropyrazol-1-yl ethanone (5a-h) was synthesized through E-(3-(5-(4-chloro-phenyl)furan-2-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (3a-h) with hydrazine monohydrate and sodium acetate. Totally, eight compounds were synthesized and their structures were elucidated by infrared, 1H & 13C NMR, elemental analysis, antimicrobial studies, in silico molecular docking studies and also in silico ADME prediction. Antimicrobial studies of the synthesized compounds showed good to moderate activity against the all the stains compared with standard drugs. in silico Molecular docking study was carried out using bacterial protein and BC protein. Synthesized compounds (5a-h) showed good docking score compared with ciprofloxacin. Antimicrobial study was carried out for 4-chlorophenyl furfuran pyrazole derivatives (5a-h). The results of assessment of toxicities, drug likeness and drug score profiles of compounds (5a-j) are promising
