Green synthesis,antibacterial, antiviral and molecular docking studies of α-aminophosphonates

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonate derivatives has been developed with different functional groups under catalyst and solvent free conditions at room temperature in both conventional and ultrasonication methods. Ultrasonication method offers excellent yields within shorter reaction times. All the title compounds 4a–l were tested for their antibacterial, antiviral activity using Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) and NDV infected embryonated eggs (in ovo) and NDV infected BHK-21 cell lines (in vitro) respectively. Besides, molecular docking studies were also carried out to the title compounds against Hemagglutinin-neuramidase enzyme to determine the therapeutic binding efficacy of the ligands synthesized. The results indicated that, among the title compounds, compounds such as 4f, 4l, 4k, 4b, 4i and 4h have shown high content of antibacterial and antiviral activity than the rest of the compounds and the level activity was high when compared to the standard, ribavirin. Based on the results, it is concluded that, the reported α-aminophosphonates will open new vistas and stands as a new generation of antiviral and antibacterial drug candidates in future.     

CoMFA and CoMSIA studies on C-aryl glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors as potential anti-diabetic agents

SGLT2 has become a target of therapeutic interest in diabetes research. CoMFA and CoMSIA studies were performed on C-aryl glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors (180 analogues) as potential anti-diabetic agents. Three different alignment strategies were used for the compounds. The best CoMFA and CoMSIA models were obtained by means of Distill rigid body alignment of training and test sets, and found statistically significant with cross-validated coefficients (q ²) of 0.602 and 0.618, respectively, and conventional coefficients (r ²) of 0.905 and 0.902, respectively. Both models were validated by a test set of 36 compounds giving satisfactory predicted correlation coefficients (r ² _pred) of 0.622 and 0.584 for CoMFA and CoMSIA models, respectively. A comparison was made with earlier 3D QSAR study on SGLT2 inhibitors, which shows that our 3D QSAR models are better than earlier models to predict good inhibitory activity. CoMFA and CoMSIA models generated in this work can provide useful information to design new compounds and helped in prediction of activity prior to synthesis.

Base-Catalyzed Synthesis of Spiropyrazoloaminonitriles with Arylidene Pyrazolone and Vinylogous Malononitriles through a Cascade Michael Addition and Cyclization

Synthesis of title compounds were accomplished by a reaction of vinyl malononitriles and arylidene pyrazolones catalyzed by base. This protocol proceeds via Michael addition followed by intramolecular cyclization leading to the formation of two new C−C bonds. Further the same reaction was also conducted with α,α-dicyano olefins and vinyl malononitriles to furnish 1,6-dihydro biphenyl compounds. Simple reaction conditions, high yields and compatibility are the advantages of this protocol.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,and biological evaluation of imidazole‐substituted pyridine‐2‐amine and benzo‐substituted imidazole‐2‐amine

A series of new imidazole‐substituted pyridine‐2‐amine and benzo‐substituted imidazol‐2‐amine 3 – 12 were synthesized by treating various amines 1(a – d) with alkyl/aryl isothiocyanate 2(a‐c) at 60–90°C in isopropyl alcohol without using any catalyst with high yields. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were characterized using IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C), mass, and elemental analyses. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities to understand their biological potency. All the title compounds exhibited good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in vitro when compared to the standard drugs.     

Synthesis and anti-diabetic activity evaluation of phosphonates containing thiazolidinedione moiety

Abstract

A sequence of substituted phosphonates containing the thiazolidinedione moiety was synthesized with good yields. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by NMR (³¹P, ¹H and ¹³C) and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and C, H, N elemental analyses. In silico molecular docking study was also carried out to evaluate their interaction and binding modes on ligands against human PPAR γ protein for their anti-diabetic activity. From the docking results, it was determined that the compounds (Z)-dimethyl 5-(3-nitrobenzylidene)?2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-ylphosphonate (7a), (Z)-dimethyl 5-(3-chloro-4-fluorobenzylidene)?2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-ylphosphonate (7f), (Z)-dimethyl 5-(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)?2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-ylphosphonate (7e) and (Z)-dimethyl 5-((5-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methylene)?2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-ylphosphonate (7j) have shown better binding energies (?7.8, ?7.6, ?7.5 and ?7.6 Kcal/mol) with the target gene, PPAR γ than the reference drug, Rosiglitazone (?7.4 Kcal/mol). In vitro anti-diabetic activity of the title compounds was also screened by standard α-amylase inhibition assay. Some of the tested compounds proved to possess promising activity when compared with the reference drug.
