Synthesis, antibacterial evaluation, in silico ADMET and molecular docking studies of new N-acylhydrazone derivatives from acridone

Abstract

Novel N-acylhydrazone derivatives from acridone have been synthesized by condensation of acridone acetohydrazide and various aldehyde. The novel acylhydrazones were tested for their in-vitro antibacterial activity against human pathogenic strains. The MIC results indicate that compound 3f displayed high antibacterial potential against Pseudomonas putida with MIC = 38.46 µg/mL, which is very close to that obtained with the commercial antibiotic. The synthesized compounds were subjected for docking studies to understand the interaction of our compounds and transcriptional regulator enzyme of pseudomonas putida and DNA gyrase complex of Staphyloccocus aureus.
