The structure of 6l was evidenced by X-ray crystallographic study. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC27294). The compounds 6a, 6g and 6j (MIC: 3.13 µg/mL) showed promising activity when compared to the first line drug such as ethambutol. In addition, the structure and anti-tubercular activity relationship were further supported by in silico molecular-docking studies of the active compounds against 3IVX.PDB (Crystal structure of pantothenate synthetase in complex with 2-(2-(benzofuran-2ylsulfonylcarbamoyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-1-yl)acetic acid). 3.7.4 ethyl 4-(4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (6d):

Using our previously described series of 1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)on-3-carboxamides as a lead class, several nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives, characterized by different central cores, were synthesized and tested for their affinity toward the human CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. The obtained results suggest that the new series of quinolin-2(1H)-on-3carboxamides, 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamides and 1,2-dihydro-2oxopyridine-3-carboxamides represent novel scaffolds very suitable for the development of promising CB2 ligands. Furthermore, the newly synthesized CB2 ligands inhibit proliferation of several cancer cell lines. In particular, it was demonstrated that in DU-145 cell line these ligands exert a CB2-mediated antiproliferative action and decrease the CB2 receptor expression levels.

The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1 H, 13 C NMR, MS and IR; and their anti-proliferative activity was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines; A549, SKNSH, HeLa and MCF-7. Among the tested compounds, compound 8k showed the most prominent activity against all the cell lines and these results may lay the foundation for further design of novel anti-proliferative agents.

The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-proliferative activity against PANC 1, HeLa and MDA-MB-231. The compounds 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h and 8k exhibited considerable anti-proliferative activity with GI50 values ranging from 0.15 to 1.4 μM. The structure and anti-proliferative activity relationship was further supported by in silico molecular docking study of the active compounds against tubulin protein.

This is the first report on the synthesis and in vitro anti-proliferative evaluation of 1,4-benzoxazinone-acetylphenylallyl quinazolin-4(3H)-one hybrids.

All the synthesized derivatives were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. Further, molecular docking studies were accomplished to explore the binding interactions between 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one and the active site of Staphylococcus aureus (CrtM) dehydrosqualene synthase (PDB ID: 2ZCS). These docking studies revealed that the synthesized derivatives showed high binding energies and strong H-bond interactions with the dehydrosqualene synthase validating the observed antimicrobial activity data. Based on antimicrobial activity and docking studies, the compounds 9c, 9d and 9e were identified as promising antimicrobial leads.
