Synthesis, molecular modelling, and antibacterial evaluation of new sulfonamide-dyes based pyrrole compounds

Abstract

In this study, we synthesized new series of 5-oxo-2-phenyl-4-(arylsulfamoyl)sulphenyl) hydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate hybrids 4a-f with the goal of overcoming sulfonamide resistance and identifying novel therapeutic candidates by chemical changes. The chemical structures of the synthesized hybrids were established over the spectroscopic tools. The frontier molecular orbitals configuration and energetic possessions of the synthesized compounds were discovered utilizing DFT/B3LYP/6-311++ G** procedure. The 3D plots of both HOMO and LUMO showed comparable configuration of both HOMO and LUMO led to close values of their energies. Amongst the prepared analogues, the sulfonamide hybrids 4a-f, hybrid 4a presented potent inhibitory towards S. typhimurium with (IZD = 15 mm, MIC = 19.24 µg/mL) and significant inhibition with (IZD = 19 mm, MIC = 11.31 µg/mL) against E.coli in contrast to sulfonamide (Sulfamethoxazole) reference Whereas, hybrid 4d demonstrated potent inhibition with (IZD = 16 mm, MIC = 19.24 µg/mL) against S. typhimurium with enhanced inhibition against E. Coli, Additionally, the generated sulfonamide analogues’' molecular docking was estimated over (PDB: 3TZF and 6CLV) proteins. Analogue 4e had the highest documented binding score as soon as linked to the other analogues. The docking consequences were fitting and addressed with the antibacterial valuation.
