Background: Biocatalysis in organic solvents has several benefits over aqueous solvents, including solubility of organic substrates, ease of workup, separation of the product, and, in certain cases, reusability of biocatalysts. Materials and Methods: A simple, effective, and environmentally friendly technique for synthesizing pyrazoles has been established, which involves the cyclo condensation of chalcones and isonicotinic acid hydrazide in organic solvents using a relatively inexpensive catalyst baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Molecular properties prediction and docking studies were also performed. Results:The predicted molecular properties suggest that the molecules are safe for oral consumption and their docking studies on 2BVC-Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamine synthetase show their favorable ligand binding nature. The structural assignments were validated based on spectrum data. The compounds were evaluated for their antitubercular, in vitro anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects. The analysis reveals that synthesized derivatives of pyrazoles possessing methoxy, nitro, hydroxyl, fluoro, and chloro substitution through the phenyl ring help the molecule to increase its pharmacological activities. However, the substituted thiophene ring in the side chain also facilitates the biological action of the molecules. Conclusion: Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-tubercular properties are due to the presence of the pyrazole ring.
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.
