ABSTRACT
A series of compounds was synthesized and characterized to explore new antimicrobial agents. These compounds were evaluated by using the agar cup plate method. The most active compound exhibited a zone of inhibition 18±0.09â mm and 19±0.09â mm against E. Coli and S. aureus, respectively. To gain insights into the intermolecular interactions, molecular docking studies were performed at the active site of the glucosamine fructose 6 phosphate synthase (GlcN 6 p) enzyme (PDB Id: 1XFF). The results of the molecular docking studies are in agreement with the pharmacological evaluation with potent compounds, exhibiting docking scores of -11.2. However, deformability, B-factor and covariance computations showed a result that the most active compound favored molecular connections with the protein. Therefore, our research is important for the development of antimicrobial agents.
