Abstract

A series of ciprofloxacin-uracil conjugates 5a-t were synthesized and identified by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The antibacterial results revealed that the new derivatives exhibited better activity against Gram-positive than the Gram-negative strains; most of the target compounds exhibited good activities against S. aureus ATCC 6538. Compounds 5b and 5g possess the highest activities with MICs of 1.25 and 2.37 µM, respectively, which are more potent than the parent drug ciprofloxacin, MIC, 7.58 µM. In addition, they also exhibited potent activities against MRSA AUMC 261 with MICs, 0.031 and 0.046 µM respectively, higher than ciprofloxacin with MIC, 0.57 µM. Moreover, compounds 5b and 5g showed potent inhibitory activities against DNA gyrase (IC<sub>50</sub> = 1.72 and 5.72 µM) and topoisomerase IV (4.36 and 7.77 µM) compared to ciprofloxacin with IC<sub>50</sub> values 0.66 and 8.16 µM, respectively. The molecular docking study revealed that compounds 5b and 5g may formed stable interaction with the active sites of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV similar to ciprofloxacin. Hence, 5b and 5g are considered promising antibacterial candidated against MRSA AUMC 261 strains that requires further optimization.
