The present investigation informs a descriptive study of 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) -3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one compound, by using density functional theory at B3LYP method with 6-311G** basis set. The oxygen atoms and π-system revealed a high chemical reactivity for the title compound as electron donor spots and active sites for an electrophilic attack. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), softness (S), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity (ω) were yielded as descriptors for the molecule’s chemical behavior. The optimized molecular structure was obtained, and the experimental data were matched with geometrical analysis values describing the molecule’s stable structure. The computed FT-IR and Raman vibrational frequencies were in good agreement with those observed experimentally. In a molecular docking study, the inhibitory potential of the studied molecule was evaluated against the penicillin-binding proteins of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The carbonyl group in the molecule was shown to play a significant role in antibacterial activity, four bonds were formed by the carbonyl group with the key protein of the bacteria (three favorable hydrogen bonds plus one van der Waals bond) out of six interactions. The strong antibacterial activity was also indicated by the calculated high binding energy (−7.40 kcal/mol).

Design Synthesis

A series of Bis-pyrazole Schiff bases (6a–d and 7a–d) and mono-pyrazole Schiff bases (8a–d and 9a–d) were designed and synthesized through the reaction of 5-aminopyrazoles 1a–d with aldehydes 2–5 using mild reaction condition with a good yield percentage. The chemical structure of newly formed Schiff bases tethered pyrazole core was confirmed based on spectral and experimental data. All the newly formed pyrazole Schiff bases were evaluated against eight pathogens (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungi). The result exhibited that, most of them have good and broad activities. Among those, only six Schiff bases (6b, 7b, 7c, 8a, 8d, and 9b) displayed MIC values (0.97–62.5 µg/mL) compared to Tetracycline (15.62–62.5 µg/mL) and Amphotericin B (15.62–31.25 µg/mL), MBC values (1.94–87.5 µg/mL) and selectivity to tumor cell than normal cells. Immunomodulatory activities showed that the promising Schiff bases increase the immunomodulator effect of defense cell and the Schiff base 8a is the highest one by (Intra. killing activity = 136.5 ± 0.3%) having a pyrazole moiety as well as amide function (O=C-NH2) and piperidinyl core. Furthermore, the most potent one exhibited broad activity depending on both MIC and MBC values. Moreover, to study the mechanism of these pyrazole Schiff bases, two active Schiff bases 8a and 9b from six derivatives were introduced to study the enzyme assay as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) on E. coli organism and DNA gyrase with two different organisms, S. aureus and B. subtilis, to determine the inhibitory activities with lower values in the case of DNA gyrase (8a and 9b) or nearly as DHFR compound 9b, while pyrazole 8a showed excellent inhibitory against all enzyme assay. The molecular docking study against dihydrofolate reductase and DNA gyrase were performed to study the binding between active site in the pocket with the two Schiff bases (8a and 9b) that exhibited good binding affinity with different bond types as H-bonding, aren-aren, and arene-cation interaction as well as study the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of the two active Schiff bases 8a and 9b.

In this study, mitoxantrone and its halogenated derivatives have been designed by density functional theory (DFT) to explore their structural and thermodynamical properties. The performance of these drugs was also evaluated to inhibit DNA topoisomerase type IIα(TOP2A) by molecular docking calculation. Noncovalent interactions play significant role in improving the performance of halogenated drugs. The combined quantum and molecular mechanics calculations revealed that CF3containing drug shows better preference in inhibiting the TOP2A compared to other modified drugs.

The 5,8-quinolinedione-betulin hybrids were investigated using spectroscopic methods as well as a variety of quantum chemical calculations in order to characterize their molecular structure. We used FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy supplemented by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular orbital (HOMO, LUMO) analyses. The experimental and calculated FT-IR spectra showed a good correlation for all compounds. Analysis of carbonyl band showed that the compounds are the 7-mono substituted. The calculated 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of hybrids reproduced well the experimental ones. Identification of C-6 and C-7 carbon atoms of 5,8-quinolinedione revealed the position of betulin moiety at the C-7 of 5,8-quinolinedione. Molecular electrostatic potential maps of hybrids allowed to recognize the electrophilic and nucleophilic regions within the molecules. The molecular docking study was used to examine the interaction between the 5,8-quinolinedione-betulin hybrids and the SARS-CoV-2 protein, like: Mpro and PLpro. The obtained results showed that compounds with the highest Dock Score are good anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential drug candidates.

Background: Melanogenesis is a process of melanin synthesis, which is a primary response for the pigmentation of human skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme, which catalyzes a ratelimiting step of the melanin formation. Natural products have shown potent inhibitors, but some of these possess toxicity. Numerous synthetic inhibitors have been developed in recent years may lead to the potent anti– tyrosinase agents. Objective: A number of 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide analogues with related structure to chalcone and tyrosine were constructed with various substituents at the benzyl ring of the molecule and evaluate as a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, computational analysis and metal chelating potential have been evaluated. Methods: Design and synthesized compounds were evaluated for activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The metal chelating capacity of the potent compound was examined using the mole ratio method. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine active site. Results: Novel 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized. The two compounds 4c and 4g showed an IC50 near the positive control, led to a drastic inhibition of tyrosinase. Confirming in vitro results were performed via the molecular docking analysis demonstrating hydrogen bound interactions of potent compounds with histatidine-Cu+2 residues with in the active site. Kinetic study of compound 4g showed competitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Metal chelating assay indicates the mole fraction of 1:2 stoichiometry of the 4g-Cu2+ complex. Conclusion: The findings in the present study demonstrate that 4-Hydroxy-N'- methylenebenzohydrazide scaffold could be regarded as a bioactive core inhibitor of tyrosinase and can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.
