Microwave-assisted synthesis, molecular docking and antimicrobial activity of novel 2-(3-aryl,1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-4-ones
文摘
An efficient synthetic protocol of microwave-assisted synthesis of some novel 2-(3-aryl,1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-4-ones 6a–j in excellent yields starting from 3-(3-aryl,1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(5-hydroxy-2H-chromen-6-yl)-propenones 5a–j was described. This approach offers the advantages of short reaction time (3–5 min), mild reaction conditions, high yields (80–88 %) and convenient operation. All the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity. The compounds 5h (Ar = 3-ethoxyphenyl), 6c (Ar = 4-chlorophenyl), 6e (Ar = 4-hydroxyphenyl) and 6i (Ar = 3,4-methoxyphenyl) were found to be potent against tested bacterial strains, and compounds 5g (Ar = 4-ethoxyphenyl), 6c (Ar = 4-chlorophenyl) and 6i (Ar = 3,4-methoxyphenyl) were found to be potent against tested fungal strains. The final compounds were subjected to molecular docking studies for the inhibition of enzyme DNA gyrase. The in silico molecular docking results are matching with the in vitro antimicrobial studies, and they may be considered as good inhibitor of DNA gyrase.
