DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3, 6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1, 3-dioxo-1H-benzo [de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides as antimicrobial agents

We report herein DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides ( 4a-j ). The silent features of this new one pot synthesis include the shorter reaction time, high yields, simple workup, and simultaneous formation of N-Amide and N-benzyl bonds in the one pot. The newly synthesized compounds ( 4a-j ) were characterized by different spectral techniques such as IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities. The anti-bacterial activities results reveal that the compounds 4a , 4g , 4i , and 4j are most active against S. aureus. In the case of B. subtilis the compounds 4a , 4i , and 4j are found to be most active. The compounds 4c , 4e , 4i , and 4j are most active against E. coli. In the case of P. aeruginosa 4a , 4i & 4j are found to be more active. On the other hand, the anti-fungal activity result shows that the compounds 4d , 4f , 4i , and 4j are more active against A. niger. The compounds 4a , 4d , 4i , and 4j are found to be more active against C. albicans.     

Influence of Co(III) Polypyridyl Complexes on Luminescence Behavior,DNA Binding,Photocleavage, Antimicrobial Activity and Molecular Docking Studies

A new ligand FIPB?=?5-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)furan-2-yl-2-boronic acid, having three cobalt(III) polypyridyl complexes [Co(phen)₂(FIPB)]³⁺(1) {FIPB?=?5-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)furan-2-yl-2-boronic acid}, (phen?=?1,10-Phenanthroline), [Co(bpy)₂(FIPB)]³⁺(2) (bpy?=?2,2’bipyridyl), [Co(dmb)₂(FIPB)]³⁺(3) (dmb?=?4, 4′-dimethyl 2, 2′-bipyridine) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ES-MS,¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, UV-Vis and FTIR. Their DNA binding behavior has been explored by various spectroscopic titrations and viscosity measurements, which indicated that all the complexes bind to calf thymus DNA by means of intercalation with different binding strengths. The binding properties of these all three complexes towards calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) have been investigated by UV-visible, emission spectroscopy and viscosity measurements.The experimental results suggested that three Co(III) complexes can intercalate into DNA base pairs,but with different binding affinities. Photo induced DNA cleavage studies have been performed and results indicate that three complexes efficiently cleave the pBR322-DNA in different forms. The three synthesized compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity by using Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis organisms, these results indicated that complex 1 was more activity compared to other two complexes against both tested microbial strains. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these complexes was evaluatedby MTT assay, and complex 1 shows higher cytotoxicity than complex 2 and 3 on HeLa cells.
