Synthesis, In Silico and In Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Toxicity Features of New 4-[(4-Chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]benzoic Acid Derivatives

The multi-step synthesis, physico-chemical characterization, and biological activity of novel valine-derived compounds, i.e., <i>N</i>-acyl-α-amino acids, 1,3-oxazol-5(4<i>H</i>)-ones, <i>N</i>-acyl-α-amino ketones, and 1,3-oxazoles derivatives, bearing a 4-[(4-ch...

description The multi-step synthesis, physico-chemical characterization, and biological activity of novel valine-derived compounds, i.e., <i>N</i>-acyl-α-amino acids, 1,3-oxazol-5(4<i>H</i>)-ones, <i>N</i>-acyl-α-amino ketones, and 1,3-oxazoles derivatives, bearing a 4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]phenyl moiety are reported here. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral (UV-Vis, FT-IR, MS, <sup>1</sup>H- and <sup>13</sup>C-NMR) data and elemental analysis results, and their purity was determined by RP-HPLC. The new compounds were assessed for their antimicrobial activity and toxicity to aquatic crustacean <i>Daphnia magna</i>. Also, in silico studies regarding their potential mechanism of action and toxicity were performed. The antimicrobial evaluation revealed that the 2-{4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]benzamido}-3-methylbutanoic acid and the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4<i>H</i>)-one exhibited antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains and the new 1,3-oxazole containing a phenyl group at 5-position against the <i>C. albicans</i> strain.
