Journal of Taibah University for Science

In this study, versatile multifunctional Schiff base (SB) derivatives were synthesized. Compounds 1-8 were prepared by a mild condition and were pharmacologically assessed for their role in vitro anti-cancer and their impact on human fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) and cervical cancer cells (HeLa), in addition to their antimicrobial activity regarding fungal strains, gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria. Preliminary in silico study of 1-8 and the standard compound (5-Fluorouracil) was accomplished, using Drug2Way and PASS software. Besides, docking investigations were carried out using Schrödinger software to determine the interaction of p53-MDM2 and pf-DHFR binding affinity for all the compounds. The antimicrobial results exhibited that these novel compounds have modest to good inhibitory action against the tried bacterial and fungal strains. The crystal structures of 2 and 7 have been determined. Hirshfeld Surface Analysis (HSA) is in agreement with the XRD studies. Both compounds have shown enol-imine tautomeric forms as EE isomer.

European Journal of Chemistry, 2022

Schiff bases are a proven moiety in antitubercular drug discovery and the antitubercular drug development. Drug discovery is a never-ending process due to evolving drug resistance by the bacteria, as a result, there is a need of developing new antitubercular drugs. In this continuous process of antitubercular drug discovery, new series of Schiff bases are synthesized using quinoline carbohydrazide upon coupling with different aldehydes in ethanolic media through multistep synthesis. These synthesized compounds were purified and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. The molecules were in vitro screened for antifungal and antibacterial potential by Agar well diffusion assay, antitubercular activity by using microplate Alamar blue assay, and an attempt has been made to study the in-silico relationship between new Schiff base derivatives 4a-f and the crystal structure of M. tuberculosis (5V3Y) protein by molecular docking studies. Synthesized compounds 4a-f show good interaction with the crystal structure of M. tuberculosis protein (5V3Y) and fulfill ADMET characteristics in silico experiments. Among the compounds tested, compound 4d was found to be active against bacteria and fungi. Compound 4b was found to be sensitive against M. tuberculosis at 50 µg/mL concentration. 5V3Y MABA In silico Antifungal activity Multistep synthesis Antibacterial activity

ChemistrySelect, 2024

The reaction of 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyridine with 4-cyanobenzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde furnished the corresponding N-aryl-(2-pyridyl)aldimines in very good yields. The synthetised Schiff bases were characterized by FT-IR, 1 H, 13 C, DEPT-135 and [ 1 H, 13 C]-HSQC NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and elemental analyses. Additionally, the structure of 2-((E)-(4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol was unambiguously determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Hirshfeld analysis of molecular packing was performed. The most common intermolecular interaction is the hydrogenhydrogen (56.8 %) contacts while the most significant interactions are the O…H (6.5 %) and C…C (4.2 %) contacts. DFT calculated geometric parameters and NMR chemical shifts are well correlated with the experimental data. This compound has a net dipole moment of 2.4261 Debye. The MCF-7 growth was suppressed by N-aryl-(2-pyridyl)aldimines more than that for T47D cell line. The IC 50 values of 4-((E)-(4,6-dimethylpyridin-2ylimino)methyl)benzonitrile against MCF-7 and T47D cell lines were the lowest and it is considered the most promising candidate as anticancer agent. Furthermore, this study conducted a molecular docking of benzonitrile-based Schiff base onto DNA duplex to explore a potential molecular mechanism for the robust anticancer activities of this Schiff base adduct. The molecular docking results indicate that benzonitrile-based Schiff base exhibits characteristics of a potential DNA minor groove binder.
