Abstract  

A series of new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-4-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized for the first time via tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline derivatives. Elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data were used to elucidate the structures of all newly synthesized compounds. In vitro antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds were investigated against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and two fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, in comparison with standard drugs. Some of the tested compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity.     

New biocidal metal complexes of bisphenol-A formaldehyde polymer containing piperazine

The polymeric ligand (BFP) was synthesized by condensation of bisphenol-A, formaldehyde, and piperazine in alkaline medium at 70–80°C. The polymer–metal complexes were synthesized by the reaction of BFP with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) acetates in 1?:?0.5 (ligand?:?metal) molar ratio. All the synthesized polymers were characterized by elemental, spectral (infrared, ¹H-NMR, and UV-Vis), magnetic moment measurements, and thermal (TGA) analysis. The ligand-field and nephelauxetic parameters have been determined from UV-Vis spectra using ligand-field theory. Elemental analyses indicate the association of water with metal for Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II), which is also supported by TGA. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized polymers were studied by agar well diffusion methods against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella boydii. The antimicrobial activity and thermal stability of Cu(II)–polymer were higher than the other polymer–metal complexes due to the higher stability constant of Cu(II).

In particular, compounds 2a , 2d , 2e , 3a , 3e , and 3f exhibited potent antimicrobial activity.     

Synthesis,characterization, density functional theory,X‐ray study,thermal stability,and biological and MOE relevance of metal complexes of griseofulvin

Metal(II) and metal(III) coordination compounds of griseofulvin (GFV) drug were synthesized. The structure of the ligand was determined on the basis of elemental analyses, infrared and ¹H NMR spectroscopies and thermal studies. GFV behaved as a neutral tridentate chelating agent and coordinated to metal ions through three oxygen atoms: two methoxy groups and oxygen atom of furan ring. Metal complexes were characterized by means of elemental analyses and molar conductance, spectral (infrared, electron spin resonance) and thermal studies. All the complexes showed molar conductance behaviour corresponding to an electrolytic nature. All the complexes showed octahedral geometry, except [Zn(GFV)Cl]Cl that showed tetrahedral geometry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to understand and estimate the contribution of each interaction in the formation of the assembly using several theoretical models. The computed parameters from DFT calculations for structure optimizations and vibrational frequencies were in good agreement with the experimental data. Newly synthesized metal complexes in addition to GFV were examined against opportunistic pathogens. The biological applications of complexes were studied with two Gram‐positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram‐negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Neisseria gonorrhoeae) as well as their antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Results suggested that metal complexes were more biologically sensitive than free ligand. The complexes showed a moderate inhibition of MCF7 breast cancer cell line growth. Molecular docking studies further helped in understanding the mode of action of the compounds through their various interactions with the crystal structures of: human serum albumin (PDB: 5FUO), Staphylococcus aureus nucleoside (PDB: 3Q8U), human acetylcholinesterase (PDB: 1B41) and the human DNA–Topo I complex (PDB: 1SC7).

Through a cyclization reaction of 2‐phenylbutyric acid with N‐ phenylthiosemicarbazide and POCl₃, novel 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed using IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The antibacterial activities of the obtained 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives were tested against Gram‐negative bacteria (Salmonella enteritidis , Salmonella typhimurium , Enterobacter aerogenes , Salmonella infantis , Salmonella kentucky , and Escherichia coli ) and Gram‐positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus subtilis , and Enterococcus durans ) using a disk diffusion method. Moreover, an antifungal activity experiment was performed against Candida albicans using the disk diffusion method. It was observed that the synthesized 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives exhibited effective antimicrobial activity against S. aureus , E. coli , and C. albicans . Based on these results, the 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives can be considered as a source of bioactive agents for pharmacological and medicinal applications.     

Synthesis,spectral, and antibacterial screening studies of chelating polymers of bisphenol-A–formaldehyde resin bearing barbituric acid

A new polymeric ligand was synthesized by the reaction of bisphenol-A and formaldehyde in the basic medium, followed by condensation polymerization with barbituric acid in the acidic medium. Polymer metal complexes were prepared by reaction of this resin with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II).

Cu(II) polychelate showed highest biocidal activity.

Synthesis,characterization, and cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of ruthenium(II) arene complexes with N,N-bidentate ligands

Three new complexes, [(η⁶-C₆H₆)RuCl(C₅H₄N-2-CH=N-Ar)]PF₆ (Ar = phenylmethylene (1), (4-methoxyphenyl)methylene (2), and phenylhydrazone (3)), were prepared by reacting [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ with N,N′-bidentate ligands in a 1 : 2 ratio.

Single crystal structures confirmed a pseudo-octahedral three-legged, piano-stool geometry around Ru(II), with the ligand coordinated to the ruthenium(II) through two N atoms. The cytotoxicity of the mononuclear complexes was established against three human cancer cell lines and selectivity was also tested against non-cancerous human epithelial kidney (HEK 293) cells. The compounds were selective toward the tumor cells in contrast to the known anti-cancer drug 5-fluoro uracil which was not selective between the tumor cells and non-tumor cells. All the compounds showed moderate activity against MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), but showed low antiproliferative activity against Caco-2 and HepG2. Also, antimicrobial activities of the complexes were tested against a panel of antimicrobial-susceptible and -resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Of special interest is the anti-mycobacterial activity of all three synthesized complexes against Mycobacterium smegmatis, and bactericidal activity against resistant Enterococcus faecalis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300.
