Background: Pyranopyrazoles have a variety of biological activities and can be obtained by various starting materials and synthetic methods. Also, pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins that contain pyranopyrazole moiety, have some biological activities such as anti acetylcholinesterase, anti butyrylcholinesterase activity. In this research, our objective is to prepare pyranopyrazole compounds and pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins in a simple way and then evaluate their antibacterial effect. Methods: In this study, pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized by condensing malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes, and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one in the presence of magnesium perchlorate as a catalyst. Then we prepared pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins via subsequent Friedlander reaction between cyclohexanone and the obtained pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Also, the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins against Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli were measured. Then we studied molecular docking of them to find the predicted compounds' interactions and binding energy with DNA-gyrase with the AutoDock 4.2 software. Results: Pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins were synthesized in optimized conditions. Evaluation of their antibacterial activities showed that these compounds have moderate to good antibacterial activities against four bacteria species. Also molecular docking tests of docked compounds showed a strong bonding interaction with DNA-Gyrase and had been docked into the intercalation place of DNA of DNA-gyrase complex. The molecule bounded to the DNA stabilized by the H bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and π-π interaction. Conclusion: We have developed an efficient and one-pot ecofriendly protocol for the synthesis of some novel pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol derivatives and pyrazolopyrano[2,3-b]quinolins under simple conditions and then tested them for their antibacterial activities. Also, we studied molecular docking of them. These compounds showed moderate to good inhibitory action.

A novel series of 1-aryl-N-[4-phenyl-5-(arylazo)thiazol-2-yl)methanimines has been synthesized via the condensation of 2-amino-4-phenyl-5-arylazothiazole with various aromatic aldehydes. The synthesized imines were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, namely 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, MS, and Elemental Analysis. A molecular comparative docking study for 3a–f was calculated, with reference to two approved drugs, Molnupiravir and Remdesivir, using 7BQY (Mpro; PDB code 7BQY; resolution: 1.7 A°) under identical conditions. The binding scores against 7BQY were in the range of −7.7 to −8.7 kcal/mol for 3a–f. The high scores of the compounds indicated an enhanced binding affinity of the molecules to the receptor. This is due to the hydrophobic interactions and multi-hydrogen bonds between 3a–f ligands and the receptor’s active amino acid residues. The main aim of using in silco molecular docking was to rank 3a–f with respect to the approved drugs, Molnupiravir and Remdesivir, using free energy methods as greener pastures. A further interesting comparison presented the laydown of the ligands before and after molecular docking. These results and other supporting statistical analyses suggested that ligands 3a–f deserve further investigation in the context of potential therapeutic agents for COVID-19. Free-cost, PASS, SwissADME, and Way2drug were used in this research paper to determine the possible biological activities and cytotoxicity of 3a–f.

Benzimidazole containing mercapto group at the 2nd position is attractive nucleus for the modification with wider pharmacological activities. The aim of this study is to design benzofused nitrogen containing heterocyclic derivatives of mercapto benzimidazole using molecular docking. Using an effective procedure, N-substituted mercapto benzimidazole derivatives was synthesized. The antimicrobial activity of all the synthesized compounds was tested against four different organisms viz. E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Molecular docking of mercapto benzimidazole derivatives against DNA gyrase subunit B PDB: 5l3j and Staphylococcus aureus tyrosyltRNA synthetase PDB:1jij was performed using docking protocol. The compound binds to the active site of DNA gyrase subunit B (1KZN) in a docking study, indicating that it may have antimicrobial activity. Compounds MB3 and MB5 have good antimicrobial capacity whereas compound MB4 has the high activity against Candida albicans.

A new class of 4H,5H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one and 5H,6Hpyrano[ 2,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives were synthesized via the one-pot threecomponent reaction of 2-hydroxy-4H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and 7-hydroxy-5Hthiazolo[ 3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one to various aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile. This domino transformation involves the formation of pyranopyrimidine ring by the formation of three C–C bonds and one C– O bond a single synthetic operation. As the products precipitate out of the reaction, simple filtration is enough to gather the products, and thus, there is no need for work-up or column-chromatography. The synthesized thiazole/benzothiazole fused pyranopyrimidine derivatives were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines namely DU 145 (prostate cancer), Hela (Human cervical cancer), MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer), HT-29 (Human colon cancer) and normal cell line HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cells). The results demonstrated that synthesized compounds were selective in its cytotoxicity to cancer cells compared to normal cells. Among these compounds, 2-amino-9- methoxy-5-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H,5H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine- 3-carbonitrile 4i exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against the tested cell lines. Molecular docking studies revealed that these active heterocyclic molecules bind selectively in the colchicine binding site of tubulin polymer.

Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis has instigated a serious challenge toward the effective treatment of tuberculosis. The reoccurrence of the resistant strains of the disease to accessible drugs/medications has mandate for the development of more effective anti-tubercular agents with efficient activities. Time expended and costs in discovering and synthesizing new hypothetical drugs with improved biological activity have been a major challenge toward the treatment of multi-drug resistance strain M. tuberculosis (TB). Meanwhile, to solve the problem stated, a new approach i.e. QSAR which establish connection between novel drugs with a better biological against M. tuberculosis is adopted. Methods: The anti-tubercular model established in this study to forecast the biological activities of some anti-tubercular compounds selected and to design new hypothetical drugs is subjective to the molecular descriptors; MATS7s, SM1_DzZ, SpMin4_Bhv, TDB3v and RDF70v. Ligand-receptor interactions between quinoline derivatives and the receptor (DNA gyrase) was carried out using molecular docking technique by employing the PyRx virtual screening software and discovery studio visualizer software. Furthermore, docking study indicates that compounds 20 of the derivatives with promising biological activity have the utmost binding energy of -17.79 kcal/mol. Results: Meanwhile, the interaction of the standard drug; isoniazid with the target enzyme was observed with the binding energy -14.6 kcal/mol which was significantly lesser than the binding energy of the ligand (compound 20).Therefore, compound 20 served as a template structure to designed compounds with more efficient activities. Among the compounds designed; compounds 20p was observed with better anti-tubercular activities with more prominent binding affinities of -24.3kcal/mol. Conclusion: The presumption of this research aid the medicinal chemists and pharmacist to design and synthesis a novel drug candidate against the tuberculosis. Moreover, in-vitro and in-vivo test could be carried out to validate the computational results.
