Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel triazole-biscoumarin conjugates as potential antitubercular and anti-oxidant agents (original) (raw)

Research on Chemical Intermediates, 2018

Abstract

The synthesis of a new series of triazole-biscoumarin conjugates by using a molecular hybridization approach is described. The newly synthesized compounds 6a–k were evaluated for their in vitro antitubercular activity against active and dormant Mtb H37Ra and anti-oxidant activity against DPPH radical scavenging. Molecular docking simulations for the antitubercular activity showed that the conjugates 6a–k bind in the pocket of the DprE1 enzyme. Most of the conjugates displayed good antitubercular activity against both the active and dormant Mtb H37Ra strain. The compound 6h displayed very good antitubercular activity against dormant Mtb H37Ra with an IC50 value of 1.44 μg/mL. Most of the synthesized conjugates exhibit excellent anti-oxidant activity with an IC50 of less than the standard BHT. Compound 6b is the most active among all the conjugates with an IC50 value of 08.17 ± 0.11 μg/mL. The molecular docking study shows good agreement between the observed antitubercular activity and the binding affinity.Graphical Abstract
