Synthesis and molecular docking studies of coumarin-imidazole conjugates as potential antimicrobial agents

110-125One-pot multi-component synthesis of tri and tetra-substituted coumarin-imidazole conjugates have been achieved in good to excellent yield under conventional and microwave methods in optimized catalyst condition. Further, they have been evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Gram positive Bacillus flexus and Gram negative Pseudomonas Spp. bacterial strains and two strains of fungi Scopulariopsis spp. and Aspergillus tereus organisms. The results of microbial activity are promising against tested organisms. The molecular docking study has been performed for all the compounds and docking scores are excellent. Synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR, mass and a few of them by single crystal X-ray analysis

Synthesis, in vitro biological evaluation and molecular docking study of coumarin-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives as potent anti-inflammatory agents

The green chemistry approach provides for the synthesis of coumarin-1,4-dihydropyridine scaffolds 6a-o via sequential multicomponent reaction using catalytic amount of triethylamine (TEA). These new coumarin scaffolds have been successfully explored for the effective inflammatory as well as microbial infection inhibitors. The antimicrobial activity results of the title compounds have shown potent activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacterial, and fungal stains. Additionally, anti-inflammatory activity of all the compounds has been found to be quite promising in comparison with standard Diclofenac sodium. Furthermore, the in silico docking study has been performed for all the compounds with S. aureus DNA gyrase and cyclooxygenase-2 (PDB ID 4PH9). The computational results are in good agreement with the in vitro antibacterial and anti-inflammatory experimental results.

Effects of Base for the Efficient Synthesis of 4-Formylcoumarins and 4-Formylcarbostyrils

<div><p></p><p>The first efficient transformation of 4-bromomethylcoumarins and 4-bromomethylcarbostyrils to 4-formylcoumarins and 4-formylcarbostyril under aqueous conditions has been achieved by modifying the Kornblum method, resulting in excellent yield. The experimental method is very simple and economical; no further purification is required and the experimental conditions have been optimized. All the isolated compounds were characterized by infrared, NMR, and mass spectroscopy, and some of the compounds have been analyzed by single-crystal x-ray analysis.</p></div

Highly stereoselective direct aldol reaction of 4-formylcoumarins with acetone catalyzed by L-proline in water–acetone mixtures

<p>Organocatalyzed direct intermolecular aldol reactions have been developed for substituted 4-formylcoumarins with acetone in water using L-proline and phthalimido-prolinamide catalysts without use of additives. Stereoselective products obtained were in excellent yields (up to 97%) with high purity (up to 99%) and enatioselectivities (up to 95%). The isolated compounds were confirmed by infrared, NMR, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry and some of them by single-crystal x-ray crystallography.</p

One-pot, green synthetic route for construction of coumarin C-4 bridged 2,6-dicyanoanilines and their photophysical study

<p>A highly selective and more efficient green protocol has been developed via a one-pot, three-component approach for the synthesis of coumarin 2,6-dicyanoanilines in aqueous ethanol. From the mechanism, two molecules of malanonitrile condensed with aldehyde and ketone resulted in the adducts, which on intramolecular cyclization via two new C-C bonds formed to afford the title compound. The present methodology offers simplified purification and environmentally benign conditions, avoids the use of toxic solvents, and gives excellent yield with high purity. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by spectral analysis. Optical and thermal screening studies of all newly synthesized compounds showed excellent photophysical and thermal stability properties.</p
