Conventional versus microwave assisted synthesis, molecular docking and enzyme inhibitory activities of new 3,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4- triazole analogues

N-[Substituted]-5-[1-[4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl]piperidin-4-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio] acetamide were synthesized by following conventional as well as microwave assisted protocol through five consecutive steps under theimpact of various reaction conditions to control the reaction time and the yield of product. Starting from 4- methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride and ethyl isonipecotate, product 3 was obtained which was converted into product 4by treating with hydrazine hydrate. In step 3, the product 4 was refluxed with methyl isothiocyanate and KOH to yield compound 5 which was finally treated with variety of N-substituted acetamides to yield an array of different new compounds [8a-k]. These synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibition potential against bovine carbonic anhydrase [bCA-II], acetylcholinesterase [AChE] and butyrylcholinesterase [BChE] enzymes. Compound 8g demonstrated good activity against bCA-II, AChE and BChE with IC50 values of 8.69 +/- 0.38 MuM, 11.87+/-0.19 MuM and 26.01+/-0.55 MuM respectively. SAR studies assisted with molecular docking were carried out to explore the mode of binding of the compounds against the studied enzymes

In silico and BSA binding study of some new biological analogs of 1, 2, 4-triazole pendant with azinane through microwave and conventional synthesis

Microwave and conventional techniques were employed to synthesize a novel array of compounds 7a-g with 1, 2, 4-triazole and piperidine rings having great biological importance. The microwave assisted method has a better operational scope with respect to time and yield comparative to the conventional method. 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and IR techniques were employed to justify the structure of synthesized compounds. The antioxidant, butyrylcholinesterase inhibition and urease inhibition potential of every synthesized compound was evaluated. Every member of the synthesized series was found potent against mentioned activities. Compound 7g was the most active anti-urease agent having IC50 [microM] value 16.5 +/- 0.09 even better than the thiourea with an IC50 [microM] value of 24.3 +/- 0.24. The better urease inhibition potential of 7g was also elaborated and explained by docking and bovine serum albumin [BSA] binding studies
