Abstract The synthesis of five monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin is described. In vitro anti-malarial assay of the compounds was carried out and the effect of the substituents on the aryl ring has been described. The results show that all the five compounds exhibited some reasonable activity against the chloroquine-resistant plasmodium parasite. Molecular docking studies further confirmed the observed biological activity of the compounds.

Aims and Objectives: The heteronuclear (mixed metal) complexes of Schiff bases have been explored as part of the coordination and bioinorganic chemistry. Five novel mixed metal complexes of (E)-2-(butan-2-ylidene) hydrazinecarbothioamide (2-butanone thiosemicarbazone) were prepared and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. Molecular docking studies were performed with three proteins for two complexes. The toxicity potential, physicochemical properties and bioactivity scores were also predicted. The complexes were tested against three cell lines and also evaluated for their antibacterial activity. Materials and Methods: The mixed metal complexes were prepared in 1:4 molar ratio of metal salt and ligand. OSIRIS 4.6.1 was used to assess the toxicity whereas Molinspiration 2016.03 was used to calculate the bioactivity scores and other physicochemical properties. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed using the Osiris Property Explorer 4.5.1 for defining and visualizing multidimensional property spaces by assigning dimensions to numerical descriptors. Molecular docking studies were performed with three proteins. The anticancer activity was tested against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HepG2 and A549 cell lines using MTT assay whereas antibacterial activity was tested using disc diffusion method. Results and Conclusion: The melting points of the complexes were as high as >3500C, indicating high thermal stability. [CuZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] exhibited minimum energies against the selected proteins. The bioactivity scores of the complexes were between -0.50 and 0.0. All the prepared complexes showed negative Ames score predicted their non-carcinogenic nature. Against A549 [CuZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2], [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] and [FeZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] showed potential in vitro activity. IC50 of these three complexes were 19.69, 37.73 and 38.4 respectively. Against MCF-7, [FeCu(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] had IC50 value 53.5. Whereas, against HepG2 [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] was active having IC50 value 61.8. [CoZn(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2], [FeCu(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)2] and [FeCo(C5H11N3S)4(SO4)Cl2] were active against S. aureus in the concentration range 2-20 mg/mL. The complexes showed improved biological activity as compared to the monometallic complexes of the same ligand.

Background:: Most of the currently available pharmaceutical drugs are either natural products or analogues of natural products. Flavonoids are plant based natural polyphenolic compounds which exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Chrysin, a natural flavone, exhibits several biological activities like antiallergic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer. Many efforts were made to enhance the biological activity of chrysin. In continuation of our work on synthetic modifications of chrysin, amino-alcohol containing heterocyclic moiety is linked to chrysin at C (7) position to enhance its biological activity. Methods:: A series of new C (7) modified analogues of chrysin (3a-k) have been designed and synthesized in two steps. Chrysin, on reacting with epichlorohydrin in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF gave epoxide (2) which was made to react with cyclic secondary amines in the presence of LiBr to form the designed products (3a-k). All the synthesized compounds (3a-k) were well characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. The synthesized analogues (3a-k) were screened for their in vitro biological activities against a panel of bacterial and fungal strains. Molecular docking studies were also performed on these compounds with E. coli FabH (1HNJ) and S. cerevisiae (5EQB) enzymes, to support the observed biological activities. Results:: A series of new 2-hydroxy 3-amino chrysin derivatives (3a-k) were synthesized in two steps, starting with chrysin and their structures were characterized by spectral analysis. In vitro biological activities of these analogues against a panel of bacterial and fungal strains indicated that some of the derivatives manifested significant activities compared to standard drugs. Molecular docking and binding energy values were also correlated with experimental antimicrobial screening results. Lipinski’s “rule of five” is also obeyed by these analogues (3a-k) and exhibit drug-likeness. Conclusion:: In the present study, a series of new C (7) modified chrysin analogues (3a-k) were synthesized and tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. These biological studies indicated that some of the derivatives exhibited moderate to good antimicrobial activities compared to standard drugs. Molecular docking studies performed on these compounds correlated with the experimental antimicrobial activities. The results obtained in the study will be useful in establishing new drug entities to control the pathogenic epidemics.

The third-generation ionic liquids (ILs), which are being used to produce double active pharmaceutical ingredients (d-APIs) with tunable biological activity along with novel performance, enhancement, and delivery options, have been revolutionizing the area of drug discovery since the past few decades. Herein we report the in vitro antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity of benzalkonium ibuprofenate (BaIb) that are being used as in-house d-API, with a particular focus on its interaction with respective protein target through molecular docking study. The evaluation of the biological activity of BaIb with the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory target at the molecular level revealed that the synthesized BaIb could be designed as a potential double active drug since it retains the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity of its parent drugs, benzalkonium chloride (BaCl) and sodium ibuprofenate (NaIb), respectively.
