    Synthesis, Antimicrobial Evaluation and Molecular Modeling Studies of Novel Thiosemicarbazides/Semicarbazides Derived From <i>p</I>-aminobenzoic Acid

    The development of novel antimicrobial agents is critical to combat life-threatening drug-resistant bacterial and fungal pathogens. In the present study, a new series of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) derivatives carrying thiosemicarbazide/semicarbazide moiety were designed, synthesized, and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The target molecules (3a-f, 4a-f) were achieved by the reaction of 4aminobenzohydrazide, obtained from PABA, and various phenyl isothiocyanates/isocyanates. Following structural characterization by spectroscopic methods (H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS analyses), the synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and their clinical isolates. Thiosemicarbazides with lipophilic substituents on the phenyl ring were identified as the most active compounds in this series. Among the studied molecules, compound 3e, thiosemicarbazide derivative with trifluoromethyl groups on the phenyl moiety, showed the best antimicrobial activity. Physicochemical parameters of the compounds were computed to predict the drug-likeness of the title compounds. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed in the allosteric binding pocket of ?-alanine: ?-alanine ligase (Ddl) to explain the potential antibacterial activity mechanism of 3e against S. aureus strains .

    Synthesis, Antimicrobial Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling Studies of New Thiosemicarbazide-Triazole Hybrid Derivatives of (<i>s</I>)-naproxen
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2022) Han, M. Ihsan; Ince, Ufuk; Gunduz, Miyase Gozde; Kucckguzel, S. Guniz; Küçükgüzel, Ş. Güniz
    The discovery of new antimicrobial molecules is crucial for combating drug-resistant bacterial and fungal infections that pose a dangerous threat to human health. In the current research, we applied a molecular hybridization approach to synthesize original thiosemicarbazide-triazole derivatives starting from (S)-naproxen (7a-7k). After structural characterization using FT-IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, and HR-MS, the obtained compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and their isolates, as well. Although all compounds were found to be moderate antimicrobial agents, in general, their antibacterial activities were better than antifungal effects. Among the tested compounds, 7j carrying nitrophenyl group on the thiosemicarbazide functionality represented the best MIC value against S. aureus isolate. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed in the active pocket of S. aureus flavohemoglobin to rationalize the obtained biological data.
