These imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines were screened for antiinflammatory activity by carrageenan induced rat hind paw edema model. Good anti-inflammatory activity was shown by few compounds. The antibacterial activity was studied against two Grampositive bacteria S. aureus and B. subtilis, two Gram-negative bacteria E. coli and S. typhi and antifungal activity against P. chrysogenum, F. moneliforme, A. flavus and A. niger. All the synthesized compounds were desplayed good antimicrobial and antifungal activities. Some of the compounds were shown higher antibacterial activity than reference drug penicillin.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"326 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79719308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the current situation demands an immediate need to explore all the possible therapeutic strategies that can be control spread of the diseases. We identified potent COVID-19 Mpro inhibitors based on molecular docking studies on 24 known antiviral natural compounds, which are from medicinal plants and marine sponges. The results revealed that 15 potential COVID-19 main protease inhibitors have been identified among the 24 natural compounds of plants and marine origin. The result further revealed that the selected natural products that has lower free binding energy is Halituline (-8.41 Kcal/mol). As these active compounds were extensively validated by molecular docking, the chance that at least few of these compounds could be bioactive is excellent.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84212910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
