ABSTRACT
To design and develop novel antimicrobial agents, a series of phthalimide-triazine-based derivatives (6a-6e) were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their potential antibacterial activities. The compounds were prepared through reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine with phthalimide moiety containing aliphatic amino acid. Structural analysis of the synthesized compounds was carried out by various characterization techniques such as FT-IR, 1H and 13C-NMR and mass spectroscopy. After the confirmation of the structure, the antibacterial screening of the synthesized compounds was performed against two strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis) and two strains of Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis) bacteria. The results of antimicrobial activity showed that compound 6d was the most active against all the tested strains of microorganisms with the MIC value 1.25 µg/µl. The synthesized compounds were docked into the binding sites of E. coli-DNA gyrase B and S. aureus-DNA gyrase complex to explore their theoretically binding mode and possible interactions of these ligands with these two targets. Docking study showed the importance of both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions as a key interaction with the targets. Based on the obtained results, the hybrid derivatives of triazine and phthalimide could be regarded as efficient candidates for further molecular developments of antimicrobial agents.
