Abstract:
Background: Hydrazide-hydrazone-based compounds are reported for their wider pharmacological
potentials.
Methods: In the present work, we synthesized 10 new Schiff-based-aryl-carbohydrazide (3a-3e)
and (4a-4e) analogues and characterized further using standard spectroscopic techniques including
NMR, mass and FT-IR. Moreover, all synthesized compounds were subjected to in vitro anti-TB,
anti-microbial, antioxidant and anti-MCF-7 cell line studies.
Results: Our results suggested that compounds have strong potencies against studied microbial
species (such as 3a, 3b and 3c, (anti-TB activity: MIC value of 1.6 μg/mL; 3c:80.23 % inhibition at
200 μg/mL against MCF-7). Synthesized compounds (3a-3e) and (4a-4e) were also retained with
higher docking scores than standards like ciprofloxacin; when studied for their molecular docking
analysis against common anti-bacterial (pdb id:1d7u; 3a: -4.909 kcal/mol), common anti-fungal
(pdb id:1ai9; 3b: -6.122 kcal/mol) and enoyl acyl reductase enzyme (pdb id:2x22; 3c: docking
score: -4.194 kcal/mol)) targets.
Conclusion: Thus, considering promising results for Schiff-based-aryl-carbohydrazides, these
compounds may emerge as a new class for developing potent anti-microbial agents in the near future.
