Abstract

The objective of the current study is to synthesize a library consisting of four sets of phenothiazine incorporated 1,2,3-triazole compounds using molecular hybridization approach. In total, 36 new hybrid molecules were synthesized and screened for in vitro growth inhibition activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain (ATCC-27294). Among the tested compounds, nineteen compounds exhibited significant activity with MIC value 1.6 μg/mL, which is twofold higher than the MIC value of standard first-line TB drug Pyrazinamide. In addition, all these compounds are proved to be non-toxic (with selective index > 40) against VERO cell lines. However, these compounds did not inhibit significantly the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains: the activity profile is similar to that observed for standard anti-TB drugs (isoniazid and pyrazinamide), indicating the specificity of these compounds towards the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain. Also, we report the molecular docking studies against two target enzymes (Inh A and CYP121) to further validate the antitubercular potency of these molecules. Furthermore, prediction of in silico-ADME and pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that these compounds have good oral bioavailability. The results suggest that these phenothiazine incorporated 1,2,3-triazole compounds are a promising class of molecular entities for the development of new antitubercular leads.
