Three multi-components reaction: Synthesis and x-ray single-crystal of hydroacridinone-based hydrazino-s-triazine derivative as a new class of urease inhibitor

Abstract

The one-pot fashion of three multi-component reaction provides the desired hydroacridinone-based hydrazino-s-triazine scaffold 4. Compound 4 was crystallized in an orthorhombic crystal system and Pbca space group with a = 11.6271(2) Å, b = 18.2018(4) Å, c = 32.4721(6) Å, and α = β = γ = 90° with one formula unit per asymmetric unit and eight molecules per unit cell. Additionally, structural features, Hirshfeld surfaces, and DFT studies were also investigated. Its packing in the crystal is controlled by H…H (63.4%), O…H (12.7%), Cl…H (7.2%), N…H (4.7%), and C…H (10.2%) contacts, where the O…H and Cl…H contacts were found the strongest. In vitro urease inhibition evaluation showed that the hydroacridinone-based hydrazino-s-triazine is more active (IC50 = 17.9 ± 0.47 µM) than the standard acetohydroxamic acid (IC50 = 20.3 ± 0.43 µM).
