In present work, the synthesis, characterization, antibacterial and anticancer activities of a novel series
of 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-dione derivatives bearing 2-aryloxyquinoline nucleus (6a-l)
is reported. In vitro antibacterial and anticancer activities against used strains and two cell lines A549
and HepG2 as well as enzyme inhibitory activities against EGFR and FabH were carried out. The
most potent inhibitory activity against EGFR was displayed by compound 6l and against FabH by
compound 6i. Docking studies showed that compound 6l was bound to the active pocket of EGFR
with hydrogen bond and π-H interaction with minimum binding energy and compound 6i was bound
to the active site of FabH with hydrogen bond and π-H interaction having minimum binding energy.
DFT studies explained spatial arrangement as well as HOMO-LUMO to evaluate the plane angle. On
the basis of their substitutions, these plane angles were then related with their activity against EGFR
and FabH as well as antibacterial and anticancer activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
