Nucleoside precursors and derivatives play pivotal roles in the development of antimicrobial and antiviral therapeutics. The 2022 global outbreak of monkeypox (Mpox) across more than 100 nonendemic countries underscores the urgent need for novel antiviral agents. This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate a series of 5'--(palmitoyl) derivatives (compounds -), incorporating various aliphatic and aromatic acyl groups, for their potential antimicrobial activities. The structures of the synthesized derivatives were confirmed through physicochemical, elemental, and spectroscopic techniques. In vitro antibacterial efficacy was assessed, including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) determinations for the most active compounds ( and ). The antifungal activity was evaluated based on mycelial growth inhibition. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the electronic and structural properties, including the global reactivity, frontier molecular orbital (FMO), natural bond orbital (NBO), and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). Molecular docking studies were conducted against the monkeypox virus and the Marburg virus. The top-performing compounds (, , and ) were further evaluated via 200 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. ADMET predictions were performed to assess drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties. Compounds and demonstrated remarkable antibacterial activity compared with the precursor molecule, while most derivatives inhibited fungal mycelial growth by up to 79%. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis highlighted the enhanced antibacterial/antifungal efficacy with CH(CH)CO- and CH(CH)CO-acyl chains. In silico docking revealed that compounds , , and had higher binding affinities than the other derivatives. MD simulations confirmed the stability of the protein-ligand complexes. ADMET analyses revealed favorable drug-like profiles for all the lead compounds. The synthesized compounds , , and exhibit promising antimicrobial and antiviral activities. Supported by both in vitro assays and comprehensive in silico analyses, these derivatives have emerged as potential candidates for the development of novel therapeutics against bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, including monkeypox and Marburg viruses.
