Antibiotic and antifungal resistance problems have been prevalent in recent decades. One of the efforts to solve the problems is to develop new medicines with more potent antibacterial and antifungal activity. -phenylbenzamides have the potential to be developed as antibacterial and antifungal medicine. This study aimed to synthesize -phenylbenzamides and evaluate their in silico and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. The in silico studies conducted absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) predictions along with molecular docking studies. ADMET predictions used pkCSM software online, while the docking studies used MVD software (Molegro Virtual Docker version 5.5) on Aminoglycosid-2 ″-phosphotransferase-IIa (APH2 ″-IIa) enzyme with protein data bank (PDB) ID code 3HAV as antibacterial and aspartic proteinases enzyme (Saps) with PDB ID code 2QZX as an antifungal. In vitro, antibacterial and antifungal tests were carried out using the zone of inhibition (ZOI) method. The five -phenylbenzamides (-) were successfully synthesized with a high yield. Based on in silico and in vitro studies, compounds - have antibacterial and antifungal activities, where they can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria (), Gram-negative (), and . Therefore, compounds - can be developed as a topical antibacterial and antifungal agent.
抗生素和抗真菌耐药问题在最近几十年一直很普遍。解决这些问题的努力之一是开发具有更强抗菌和抗真菌活性的新药。-苯甲酰胺类化合物有可能被开发成抗菌和抗真菌药物。本研究旨在合成-苯甲酰胺类化合物,并评估其在体外和体内的抗菌和抗真菌活性。计算机辅助药物设计研究进行了吸收、分布、代谢、排泄和毒性(ADMET)预测以及分子对接研究。ADMET 预测使用在线 pkCSM 软件,而对接研究则使用 MVD 软件(Molegro Virtual Docker version 5.5)对氨基糖苷-2″-磷酸转移酶-IIa(APH2″-IIa)酶与蛋白数据库(PDB)ID 代码 3HAV 进行抗菌作用,对天冬氨酸蛋白酶酶(Saps)与 PDB ID 代码 2QZX 进行抗真菌作用。在体外,使用抑菌圈(ZOI)方法进行了抗菌和抗真菌测试。成功地以高产率合成了五种-苯甲酰胺类化合物(-)。基于计算机辅助和体外研究,化合物-具有抗菌和抗真菌活性,能够抑制革兰氏阳性菌()、革兰氏阴性菌()和 的生长。因此,化合物-可以开发为局部抗菌和抗真菌药物。
