ABSTRACT
Isatin, known as 1H-indole-2,3-dione, was originally recognised as a synthetic molecule until its discovery in the fruits of the cannonball tree, Couroupita guianensis. It is naturally occurring in plants of the genus Isatis and serves as a metabolic derivative of adrenaline in humans. Isatin possesses significant pharmacological importance, and its synthetic versatility has prompted extensive interest in its derivative compounds due to their diverse biological and pharmacological properties. These derivatives represent a valuable class of heterocyclic compounds with potential applications as precursors for synthesizing numerous valuable drugs. In the pursuit of advancing our research on isatin hybrids, we investigate the utilisation of readily available hydrazonoindolin-2-one and isatin as starting materials for the synthesis of a wide range of analogues. Characterisation of the synthesized compounds was carried out through various analytical techniques. Furthermore, the obtained compounds were subjected to extensive testing to evaluate their anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Specifically, their efficacy against key proteins, namely Staphylococcus aureus protein (PDB ID 1JIJ), Escherichia coli protein (PDB ID 1T9U), Pseudomonas aeruginosa protein (PDB ID 2UV0), and Acinetobacter baumannii protein (PDB ID 4HKG), was examined through molecular docking calculations. Several molecules, such as 3, 4, 6, 16, and 19, displayed remarkable activity against the renal cancer cell line UO-31. Additionally, the results of antimicrobial activity testing revealed that compound 16 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Subsequently, ADME/T calculations were performed to gain insights into the potential effects and reactions of these molecules within human metabolism. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the potential pharmacological applications of isatin derivatives and underscores their significance in drug development.
