Novel N‐Acyl‐1H‐imidazole‐1‐carbothioamides: Design, Synthesis, Biological and Computational Studies

Abstract

The present study reports the convenient synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, bio‐assays and computational evaluation of a novel series of N‐acyl‐1H‐imidazole‐1‐carbothioamides. The screened derivatives displayed excellent antioxidant activity, moderate antibacterial and antifungal potential. The screened derivatives were found to be highly biocompatible against hRBCs. Molecular docking ascertained the mechanism and mode of action towards the molecular target delineating that ligands and complexes were stabilized at the active site by electrostatic and hydrophobic forces in accordance to the corresponding experimental results. Docking simulation provided additional information about the possibilities of inhibitory potential of the compounds against RNA. Computational evaluation predicted that N‐acyl‐1H‐imidazole‐1‐carbothioamides 5c and 5g can serve as potential surrogates for hit to lead generation and design of novel antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of Hibiscus rosa sinensis synthesized cobalt oxide (Co3O4-NPs) and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs)

“…The assay was performed using a methodology followed in the literature ( Aziz et al 2020b ). In brief, a reaction mixture was prepared in an eppendorf tube containing 100 µL of the test sample, 400 µL phosphate buffer (pH 6.6) and 100 µL of potassium ferric cyanide (1% w/v), followed by water bath incubation at 55 °C for 30 min.…”

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 3′,4′,5′‐trimethoxy evodiamine derivatives as potential antitumor agents

“…The log P , Lipinski's acceptors (lip‐acc), Lipinski's donors (lip‐don), log D (pH = 7), molecular weight, and total polar specific surface area (TPSA) were calculated to test the pharmaceutical properties of the synthesized trimethoxyphenyl evodiamine derivatives (Aziz, Saeed, Khan, Afridi, & Jabeen, 2020a; Aziz, Saeed, Khan, Afridi, Jabeen, Ashfaq Ur, & Hashim, 2020b; Lipinski et al, 2001). These descriptors have predictive power in evaluating the likelihood of a drug being made into a drug.…”

Diaryl azo derivatives as anti-diabetic and antimicrobial agents: synthesis, in vitro, kinetic and docking studies

“…All the strains were confirmed by biochemical identification and drug susceptibility methods. The antibacterial evaluation was done by agar disc diffusion method 39,40 and MIC was determined [41][42][43] . In summary, a 48-h old inoculum having $0.48 OD 600 , of the above-mentioned bacterial strains was spread on the solidified trypticase soy agar media and Whatman no.…”
