Synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies of some new analogues of 3,5-vdisubstituted thiazolidin-2,4-dione
Abstract
Background: A new series of 3,5-disubstituted thiazolidin-2,4-dione molecules were derived and characterized using various spectral techniques (1H NMR, IR, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc.) and physicochemical parameters. Materials & methods: The molecules were derived using Knoevenagel condensation followed by Mannich reaction and further synthesized analogues were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial potential using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging method and serial tube dilution method, respectively, along with in silico studies (docking and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion parameters) to explore the drug–receptor interaction and druglikeness. Results & conclusion: In antimicrobial screening, the analogs MP2, MM6, MM7 and MM8 displayed promising activity while molecule MM4 exhibited better antioxidant potential in the series. In molecular docking analysis, the best-fitted analogs, namely, MM6 and MM7, showed good interactions.
