Abstract
Due to the growing resistance of some drugs and the need for safe chemotherapeutic agents, five new compounds (VII1–5) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR techniques. The compounds were tested for their antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer activities. Among the reported compounds, VII5 molecule showed excellent antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer activities. Also, compound VII5 did not show any toxic effect on normal mouse fibroblast cells. In the case of antioxidant activities, the IC50 values (μg/mL) of molecule VII5 and ascorbic acid with DPPH were 277.27 and 393.48 while these values with FRAP were 218.52 and 518.10, respectively. The IC50 values (μg/mL) of compounds VII5 with Colon (HCT116), Lung (A549), Breast (MCF-7) and Fibroblast (L929) were 76.06, 121.25, 37.5 and 461.36, respectively. The simulation study confirmed strong binding to DNA through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The affinity energy was -5.4 kcal/mol with 4 hydrogen bonds. Ultimately, it was concluded that the synthesized compound VII5 exhibited a broad spectrum of biological activities and has potential therapeutic applications for various diseases like fungal infections and cancer in comparison to conventional medication.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
