Abstract:A series of novel chromeno-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-6,9,14(7H)-trione derivatives (4a-k) were designed and prepared using a reusable and efficient catalyst ionic liquid [Bmim]BF 4 via one-pot multi-component reaction. Their bioactivity was evaluated against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans in vitro. Compound 4f was found to be the most effective compared to all other synthesized compounds. To validate experimental biological data obtained, molecular docking study was carried out. It was observed that compound 4fshowed stronger binding interactions with secreted aspartic proteinase (SAP) of Candida albicans (1EAG). Further, primary optimization of drug-like properties was studied through in silico predictions by using ADMET predictor FAFdrug2 and OSIRIS property explorer.
