Synthesis, spectroscopic and molecular docking studies on new schiff bases, nucleosides and α-aminophosphonate derivatives as antibacterial agents

New Nucleosides, analogues derived from 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole, arylidene analogues and alpha-aminophosphonate were prepared. Infrared (IR), elemental analysis and (HNMR)-H-1 elucidated nucleosides; arylidines and phosphonate derivatives. The prepared derivatives were purified and allowed to test against bacteria strains. Phosphonate derivative 12a showed the higher antibacterial against E. coli with inhibition zone 35 mm, P. aeruginosa with inhibition zone 30 and S. aureus with inhibition zone 22 while compounds 4, 6d, 9a, 9c and 12c showed moderate to weak activity against these bacteria species with inhibition zones ranged from 12 mm to 24 mm. The molecular docking studies was applied on compound 12a, which showed the binding at the active DNA Gyrase. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
