Incorporation of azo group at axial position of silatranes: synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activity

4‐Aminoazobenzene‐derived silatranes bearing urea and aminosuccinimide as linker groups at the axial position are reported. The urea functionality is introduced in a silane ( 2 ) by the rearrangement reaction between 3‐isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane and 4‐aminoazobenzene. N‐(3‐silatranylpropyl)‐N′‐[(p‐phenyldiazenyl)phenyl]urea and N‐[3‐(3,7,10‐trimethylsilatranyl)propyl]‐N′‐[(p‐phenyldiazene)phenyl]urea were prepared by transesterification reaction of 2 with triethanolamine and trisisopropanolamine, respectively. An efficient method for C? N bond formation is described for the synthesis of 3‐(silatranylpropyl)amino‐N‐[(p‐phenyldiazene)phenyl]pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione and 3‐[(3,7,10‐trimethylsilatranyl)propyl]amino‐N‐[(p‐phenyldiazene)phenyl]pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione via aza‐Michael addition reaction of aminopropylsilatranes with 4‐(N‐maleimido)azobenzene under mild conditions. All the compounds were well characterized using elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques, thermogravimetric analysis and X‐ray diffraction. UV–visible spectroscopy indicates that the 4‐aminoazobenzene‐derived silatranes are capable acetate receptors. The synthesized compounds were screened for possible antimicrobial properties with the results showing a modest activity. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract

Some new 3,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The lead compounds were obtained starting from 8-hydroxyquinoline and ethyl 2-chloroacetate. The obtained ester compound (1) first reacted with hydrazine hydrate (2) then with phenyl isothiocyanate (3). Ring closure by KOH led to 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivative (4). Lastly, it reacted with 2-chloro-N-(substituted (benzo)/thiazole)acetamide derivatives to obtain the final compounds (5a–j). The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry techniques and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against seven bacteria and four fungi. As a result of the activity studies, it was observed that compounds N-(6-nitrobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5a) and N-(6-fluorobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5d) were the most active molecules. Also, the antifungal activity of the compounds was found to be higher than their antibacterial activity although lower than the standard drug’s potential. Additionally, the physicochemical properties of the compounds were calculated which were evaluated to be at a suitable range for oral administration.

The structural and spectroscopic characteristics of the synthesized structurally novel compound 4-chloro-6-methylquinoline-2(1H)-one (4C6MQ) and its isomer 4-chloro-8-methylquinoline-2(1H)-one (4C8MQ) have been examined by means of experimental and computational quantum chemical methods like density functional theory (DFT).

Both the isomer compounds are characterized spectroscopically by FTIR, FT-Raman, UV-Vis, and NMR spectrum and compared with DFT results. The geometries of the isomer compounds have been optimized by using DFT/B3LYP method with the 6-311G++(d,p) basis sets. From the optimized geometry of the compounds, geometric parameters (bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles); vibrational analysis; chemical shifts; and electronic absorption of the isomer compounds have been computed and compared with the experimental result. The detailed assignments of vibrational wave numbers have been prepared based on potential energy distribution (PED) which was carried out in the VEDA4 program. In addition, natural bonding orbital analysis, frontier molecular orbital, and molecular electrostatic potential have been explained theoretically. The in silico (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) studies were analyzed to identify the potential drug likeliness of the isomer compounds. The implications of the inhibitory activity of isomer compounds against DNA gyrase and lanosterol 14 α-demethylase enzyme by molecular docking are discussed. Further, the isomer compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Abstract

A series of 2-(substituteddithiocarbamoyl)-N-[4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl]acetamide derivatives was designed and synthesized to combat the increasing incidence of drug-resistant fungal infections.

Most of the final compounds exhibited significant activity against Candida albicans and Candida krusei with MIC₅₀ value 12.5?μg/mL. The results of in vitro anti-Candida activity, a docking study and ADME prediction revealed that the newly synthesized compounds have potential anti-Candida activity and evidenced the most active derivative, 5b (2-Pyrrolidinthiocarbonylthio-N-[4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl]acetamide), which can be further optimized as a lead compound.

A gadolinium(III) complex: synthesis,structure, photophysical profile and its role in the degradation of nitroaromatics

The synthesis and structural characterization of a gadolinium(III) complex with phenanthroline and thiocyanate ligands have been accomplished. The X-ray crystal structure reveals that Gd(III) in a slightly distorted square anti-prism coordinated with four thiocyanate ions and two phenanthroline molecules; one phenanthroline is protonated which compensates the charge of Gd(III) center. The crystal structure shows chemically significant non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bonding involving the thiocyanate ligand and π–π interactions between uncoordinated phenanthrolinium and coordinated phen. Investigation on the intermolecular interactions and crystal packing via Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that close contacts are mainly associated with weak interactions. The fingerprint plots demonstrate that these weak interactions are important for crystal packing. The Gd(III) complex shows photophysical activity. The compound is capable of degrading toxic pollutants like nitroaromatics and may have far reaching consequences for cleaning these toxic pollutants from industrial effluents.
