Abstract

Abstract

A new series of aurones 3ax has been synthesized by aldol condensation of N-(Un)substituted quinolone-3-carbaldehydes 1ah and (Un)substituted benzofuran-3(2H)-ones 2ac in the presence of 10 mol% NaOH in ethanol using a microwave irradiation method. All the aurone derivatives were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against a representative panel of bacterial and fungal pathogens using a broth microdilution method. The majority of the synthesized compounds elicited more or equipotent inhibitory action against all the tested bacterial and fungal strains. In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) method. Compounds 3k and 3u displayed the highest antioxidant potential.

1 Introduction

Aurones are less studied subclass of flavonoids and found rarely in nature. Some naturally occurring aurones are maritimetin, sulfuretin and aureusidin which possess various hydroxylation patterns (Romussi and Pagani, 1970; Junior et al., 2008; Mohan and Joshi, 1989) (Fig. 1). Except those found in nature, aurones are a fertile source of medicinally important molecules possessing a wide spectrum of biological activities like antioxidant (Detsi et al., 2009), insect antifeedant (Morimoto et al., 2007), anticancer (Huang et al., 2007), antibacterial and anti-inflammatory (Bandgar et al., 2010). Moreover, the biological activities of aurones strongly depend on the number of hydroxyl groups present on Ring C (Dong et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010).

Structurally diverse aurones.

On the other hand, quinolone is a core pharmacophore in the development of different biologically potent derivatives which found to possess various activities such as, anti-HIV (Gupta and Madan, 2012), antitumor (Li et al., 2006), anti-anaerobe (Schaumann and Rodloff, 2007), antibacterial (Sharma et al., 2015), anti-inflammatory and analgesic (Filippelli, 2010). Further, it has been established that the presence of an allyl group of heterocyclic nitrogen improves antimicrobial effectiveness and plays an important role in the development of new antimicrobial drugs (Praveen et al., 2011). Therefore, we selected the allyl group as a substituent at the nitrogen of the quinolone moiety.

The conventional method for the synthesis of aurones especially by using hydroxy/dihydroxy benzofuran-3(2H)-one encountered some problems such as, masking of OH groups, lengthy reaction time and poor yield due to side reaction (Detsi et al., 2009; Shin et al., 2011). Consequently, to overcome these drawbacks, the microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) approach was adopted for the synthesis of title compounds which improved selectivity of the reaction, shortened reaction time and made avoidable to prevent OH groups and gave a better yield.

Over the past few years, the development toward the construction of the efficient aurone scaffolds with appropriate biological activity by modifying or replacing the benzene ring with N-(Un)substituted indoles and different spacers have been made (Wallez et al., 2002; Gerby et al., 2007; Bursavicha et al., 2010; Haudecoeur et al., 2011) (Fig. 1). In the radiance of the above mentioned facts and as a prolongation of our investigation on the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds (Mungra et al., 2011; Thumar and Patel, 2011; Jardosh and Patel, 2011, 2012a,b; Sangani et al., 2012; Makawana et al., 2012; Shah et al., 2012), we were provoked to design and synthesize new quinolone based aurone analogs by using molecular hybridization approach and evaluate them as antimicrobials and antioxidants.

2.1

2.1 General

Required acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, potassium carbonate, sodium acetate, N,N-dimethyl formamide, chloroform and methanol were procured from Merck, Darmstadt, Germany. Sodium hydroxide, zinc chloride, diethyl ether, resorcinol and phloroglucinol were obtained from S. D. Fine Chem Ltd., Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Allyl bromide, benzofuran-3(2H)-one and chloroacetonitrile were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich. Organic solvents were purified by standard methods (Furniss et al., 2004) and stored over molecular sieves and were used with further purification. The microwave assisted reactions are conducted in a “RAGA’s Modified Electromagnetic Microwave System” whereby microwaves are generated by magnetron at a frequency of 2450 MHz having adjustable output power levels i.e., 10 levels from 140 to 700 Watts and with an individual sensor for temperature control (fiber optic is used as an individual sensor for temperature control) with the attachment of the reflux condenser with constant stirring (thus avoiding the risk of high pressure development). Melting points of all the title compounds were determined by the open tube capillary method (using silicon oil 350 cst) and are uncorrected. All reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC, on aluminum plates coated with silica gel 60F254, 0.25 mm thickness, Merck) carried out on fluorescent coated plates and detection of the components was made by exposure to iodine vapors or UV light. Elemental analysis (% C, H, N) was carried out by a Perkin–Elmer 2400 series-II elemental analyzer (Perkin–Elmer, USA) and all compounds are within ±0.4% of theory specified. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin–Elmer Spectrum GX FT-IR Spectrophotometer (Perkin–Elmer, USA) using potassium bromide pellets in the range of 4000–400 cm−1 and frequencies of only characteristic peaks are expressed in cm−1. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 on a Bruker Avance 400F (MHz) spectrometer (Bruker Scientific Corporation Ltd., Switzerland) using TMS as an internal standard at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm). Mass spectra were scanned on a Shimadzu LCMS 2010 spectrometer. For antioxidant activity, UV spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu Type 160-A spectrometer.

2.4 General procedure for the synthesis of compounds 3ax

In a 50 mL round-bottom flask, N-(Un)substituted quinolone-3-carbaldehydes 1ah (3 mmol), (Un)substituted benzofuran-3(2H)-ones 2ac (3 mmol), 10 mol% NaOH and 10 mL ethanol were taken and thoroughly mixed and irradiated in a microwave oven at 280 W (40% of output power) for 240 s. After the completion of the reaction (checked by TLC; eluent, chloroform:methanol::9:1), the solution was cooled to room temperature, the solid separated was filtered, washed well with R-spirit (10 ml), dried and recrystallized from chloroform–methanol (1:1) to get pure solid sample 3ax. Physical, analytical and spectroscopic characterization data of the compounds 3ax are given hereafter.

3 Results and discussion

3.1 Chemistry

The synthetic precursors 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehydes 1ad were synthesized by refluxing respective 2-chloro-3-formyl quinolines in the presence of 70% acetic acid and 1-allyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehydes 1eh were prepared by electrophile favored N-alkylation of 1ad in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF at room temperature (Srivastava and Singh, 2005) (Scheme 1). Precursors 2b and 2c were prepared by reaction of resorcinol/phloroglucinol with chloroacetonitrile respectively, via a Hoesch acylation to give an iminium salt and then hydrolyzed under acidic condition (Shriner and Grosser, 1942; Horning and Reisner, 1948) (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1 Synthetic pathway for the synthesis of intermediates 1ah and 2b,c.

The aurones 3ax were synthesized by condensation of (Un)substituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one 2ac with various N-(Un)substituted quinolone-3-carbaldehyde 1ah by microwave irradiation in the presence of 10 mol% NaOH in ethanol at 280 W for 240 s (Scheme 2). This procedure significantly shortened the reaction time and made it unnecessary to protect the phenolic hydroxyl groups prior to aldol condensation. Products were obtained in moderate to good yield (61–79%).

The reaction was optimized by varying the mole ratio of NaOH (Table 1). A mixture of 1ah and 2ac was subjected to microwave irradiation (280 W) by varying mole ratio of NaOH 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 mol%. It was observed that when the amount of NaOH was increased to 10.0 mol%, the reaction rate was increased within a shorter reaction time (240 s). On the other hand, further increase in the amount of NaOH resulted into the sticky mass which required ice-water work up and gave poor yield. The formation of products was continuously checked by thin layer chromatography (TLC) at regular time interval to optimize the reaction time and it was found that the reaction was completed within 240 s. The above results showed that the best results were obtained when the reaction was carried out with 10.0 mol% of NaOH under microwave irradiation at 280 W for 240 s.

Isolated yield.

In accordance with the mechanism suggested in the literature (Lee, 2009), the reaction of the substituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one 2ac with N-(Un)substituted quinolone-3-carbaldehydes 1ah proceeded via an aldol condensation. Under the basic conditions of the reaction, 2ac forms an enolate which reacts with the electron deficient carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde with loss of water to give the desired aurone (Scheme 3).

The structures of the title compounds 3ax were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectra and elemental analysis. The absorption bands for the title compounds in IR-spectra were observed in the range of 1593–1697 cm−1 which corresponds to two –C⚌O group stretching frequencies. The aromatic C–H stretching bands were observed in the range of 3063–3086 cm−1. The IR spectrum of compounds 3el and 3qx that exhibited a characteristic absorption band in the range of 3410–3472 cm−1 is mainly attributed to the presence of the OH group. In all cases, a single geometric isomer (Z) was obtained and confirmed by 1H NMR. It was known from the literature that the assignment of configuration in aurones can be possible on the basis of chemical shifts of the olefinic proton (Huke and Gorlitzer, 1969). It has been well established that the Z-isomer is thermodynamically more stable than E-isomer and the chemical shift of the olefinic proton is deshielded in the E-isomer of aurones and appears downfield (⩾7.01 ppm) compared to the Z-isomer (⩾6.70 ppm) (Hastings and Heller, 1972; Thakkar and Cushman, 1995; Beney et al., 2001). The 1H NMR data of the title compounds 3ax showed that the olefinic proton appeared up field around δ 6.28 ppm to δ 6.88 ppm. These values indicate that all the synthesized compounds 3ax were geometrically pure and were exclusively cis (Z)-isomers. In the 13C NMR spectral data of the compounds 3ax the signals observed at around δ 160.16 to δ 168.51 are attributed to the carbonyl carbon of the quinolone ring and signals observed at around δ 171.49 to 182.15 are attributed to the carbonyl carbon of the benzofuranone ring. The obtained elemental analysis values are in good agreement with theoretical data. Mass spectra of all the title compounds gave expected [M+1]+ peak corresponding to proposed molecular mass.

3.2 Antimicrobial activity

Interestingly, most of the synthesized aurone analogs were observed to be promising leads and possessing excellent antibacterial and antifungal activities when compared with the standard drugs (Table 2). Reviewing the antimicrobial activity data of aurone derivatives 3ax revealed that, against Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, compound 3w (MIC = 12.5 μg/mL) was found to exhibit marvelous activity compared to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin while compound 3s (MIC = 50 μg/mL) was as effective as chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. Compounds 3k (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL), 3i (MIC = 100 μg/mL), 3g and 3o (MIC = 125 μg/mL) as well as 3u (MIC = 200 μg/mL) were found to be more potent while compounds 3a, 3c, 3f, 3l, 3n, 3q and 3t (MIC = 250 μg/mL) were found to be equipotent compared to ampicillin. Against Bacillus subtilis, compound 3g (MIC = 25 μg/mL) was found to possess fabulous activity when compared to all the standard drugs employed. Compound 3w (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) exhibited significant activity while compounds 3k, 3s and 3v (MIC = 100 μg/mL) exhibited comparable activity to ampicillin and norfloxacin. Against Clostridium tetani, compound 3i (MIC = 50 μg/mL) was found to be equally potent with chloramphenicol and norfloxacin. Compounds 3o and 3s (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) displayed more efficacy than ampicillin and ciprofloxacin. Compounds 3u and 3w (MIC = 100 μg/mL) were found to possess comparable activity with norfloxacin. Compounds 3a, 3k and 3v (MIC = 125 μg/mL) were found to be more potent while compounds 3c, 3d, 3g, 3j, 3l, 3p, 3r and 3t (MIC = 250 μg/mL) were found to be equipotent when compared with ampicillin.

Bold numbers indicate more or equally potent compounds compared to standard drugs.

Against Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, compounds 3f and 3v (MIC = 50 μg/mL) showed equal potency to chloramphenicol. Compounds 3n and 3r (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) exhibited excellent activity while compounds 3b, 3t, 3u and 3w (MIC = 100 μg/mL) were found to be equally potent when compared with ampicillin. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, compound 3v (MIC = 12.5 μg/mL) was found to possess marvelous activity while compound 3l (MIC = 25 μg/mL) was found to have similar activity when compared with ciprofloxacin. Against Vibrio cholerae, compound 3u (MIC = 20 μg/mL) showed admirable activity comparable to all the standard drugs employed except norfloxacin while compound 3j (MIC = 50 μg/mL) displayed equal activity with chloramphenicol. Compounds 3i and 3v (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) showed more potency while compounds 3b, 3l and 3p (MIC = 100 μg/mL) showed equal potency when compared with ampicillin.

Against fungi Candida albicans, compounds 3d and 3t (MIC = 100 μg/mL) were found to be equipotent to nystatin. Compounds 3p (MIC = 125 μg/mL), 3h and 3x (MIC = 250 μg/mL) were found to be more potent while compounds 3b, 3e, 3g, 3l, 3q and 3w (MIC = 500 μg/mL) were found to be equipotent when compared with griseofulvin. Against Aspergillus clavatus, compounds 3d, 3p and 3x (MIC = 100 μg/mL) exhibited equal potency to nystatin and griseofulvin.

The investigation of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) revealed that compounds with an electron donating group on ring A (R1 = OCH3) gave better results against Gram positive bacteria e.g., 3g, 3k, 3o, 3s and 3w. Compounds having an electron donating (R1 = CH3) group showed excellent antibacterial potency against Gram negative bacteria e.g. 3f, 3j, 3h, 3r and 3w. Compounds with an electron withdrawing group (R1 = Cl) were found to be less potent against any of the bacterial pathogens except compound 3l, but found to have significant activity against fungal species e.g. 3d, 3h, 3p, 3t and 3x. Compounds having unsubstituted ring A viz., (R1 = H) were found to be active against S. aureus and C. tetani, e.g., 3a, 3i and 3u.

Furthermore, compounds having a lipophilic group (R2 = allyl) in ring B exhibited more potency against a representative panel of employed species compared to N-unsubstituted quinolone (R2 = H), e.g., 3n, 3o, 3p, 3r, 3s, 3t, 3u, 3v and 3w. Compounds containing two OH groups (R3 = R4 = OH) on ring C showed remarkable inhibition of the growth of employed pathogens compared to one OH group (R3 = OH) and unsubstituted ring C (R3 = R4 = H), e.g., 3i, 3k, 3u, 3v and 3w. From the SAR study of the title derivatives, it is interesting to note that a minor alteration in the peripheral substitutions present on ring A, B and C may have a pronounced effect on the antimicrobial activity.

3.3 Antioxidant activity

All the aurone derivatives were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using the FRAP method (Table 3). Among the compounds tested in this study, compounds 3k and 3u (R3 = R4 = OH) displayed a relatively high antioxidant power while compound 3f (R3 = OH, R4 = H) and compounds 3i, 3j, 3l, 3v, 3w and 3x (R3 = R4 = OH) exhibited a better ferric reducing power. The antioxidant activity of title derivatives revealed that compounds having two OH groups can easily give electron for the reduction of Fe+3-TPTZ to Fe+2-TPTZ complex. It is worth to mention that antioxidant activity strongly depends on the number of hydroxyl group present on ring C.

4.1

4.1 Antimicrobial screening

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of all the compounds and standard drugs were assessed against three representatives of Gram positive bacteria viz. S. aureus (MTCC 96), B. subtilis (MTCC 441), and C. tetani (MTCC 449); three Gram negative bacteria E. coli (MTCC 443), P. aeruginosa (MTCC 1688), V. cholerae (MTCC 3906) and two fungi C. albicans (MTCC 227) and A. clavatus (MTCC 1323) by the broth microdilution MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) method according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS, 2002). The strains employed for the activity were procured from (MTCC-Micro Type Culture Collection) the Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. Mueller Hinton Broth was used as nutrient medium to grow and dilute the compound suspension for the test bacteria and Sabouraud Dextrose Broth was used for fungal nutrition. Ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin were used as standard antibacterial drugs, whereas griseofulvin and nystatin were used as standard antifungal drugs.

Bacterial strains were primarily inoculated into Mueller–Hinton agar and, after overnight growth, a number of colonies were directly suspended in saline solution until the turbidity matched the turbidity of the McFarland standard (approximately 108 CFU/mL) i.e., inoculum size for test strain was adjusted to 108 CFU/mL (Colony Forming Unit per milliliter) well by comparing the turbidity (turbidimetric method). Similarly, fungi were inoculated on Sabouraud Dextrose Broth, the procedures of inoculum standardization were also similar. DMSO was used as diluents/vehicle to get the desired concentration of synthesized compounds and standard drugs to test upon standard microbial strains i.e. the compounds were dissolved in DMSO and the solutions were diluted with a culture medium. Each compound and standard drugs were diluted obtaining 2000 μg/mL concentration, as a stock solution. By further progressive dilutions with the test medium, the required concentrations were obtained for primary and secondary screening. In primary screening 1000, 500, and 250 μg/mL concentrations of the synthesized compounds were taken. The active compounds found in this primary screening were further diluted to obtain 200, 125, 100, 62.5 and 50 μg/mL concentrations for secondary screening to test in a second set of dilution against all microorganisms. Briefly, the control tube containing no antibiotic is immediately sub cultured [before inoculation] by spreading a loopful evenly over a quarter of plate of medium suitable for the growth of the test organism. The tubes are then put for incubation at 37 °C for 24 h for bacteria and 48 h for fungi. Growth or a lack of growth in the tubes containing the antimicrobial agent was determined by comparison with the growth control, indicated by turbidity. The lowest concentration that completely inhibited visible growth of the organism was recorded as the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC, μg/mL) i.e., the amount of growth from the control tube before incubation (which represents the original inoculum) is compared. A set of tubes containing only seeded broth and the solvent controls were maintained under identical conditions so as to make sure that the solvent had no influence on strain growth. The test mixture should contain 108 CFU/mL organisms. The interpretation of the results was based on griseofulvin and nystatin breakpoints for fungi and based on ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin for bacterial pathogens.

4.2 Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay

Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) of newly synthesized compounds was determined chemically using a modified FRAP method reported by Benzie and Strain (Benzie and Strain, 1996). The FRAP method depends upon the reduction of ferric tripyridyltriazine complex (Fe+3-TPTZ) to the ferrous tripyridyltriazine (Fe+2-TPTZ) by a reductant (antioxidant) at a low pH. This ferrous tripyridyltriazine complex has an intensive blue color and can be monitored at 593 nm. The antioxidant potentials of the compounds 3ax were estimated as their power to reduce the TPTZ–Fe(III) complex to TPTZ–Fe(II) complex. The ascorbic acid was used as a standard antioxidant compound. The results were expressed as ascorbic equivalent (mmol/100 g compound) and are listed in (Table 2).

4.2.1

4.2.1 Reagents

Buffer solution: 0.187 g sodium acetate and 1.6 mL acetic acid dissolved in double distilled water to make 100 mL.

TPTZ: 0.155 g TPTZ was dissolved in 100 mL 40 mM HCl.

FeCl3 solution: 0.324 g FeCl3 was dissolved in 100 mL distilled water.

Standard ascorbic acid: 0.176 g standard ascorbic acid was dissolved in 100 mL distilled water.

Fe(II)–TPTZ(2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine) reagent was prepared by mixing a 10.0 mL TPTZ solution, 10 mL FeCl3 solution and 100 mL acetate buffer of pH 3.6. A mixture of 200.0 μL sample solution and 3 mL of Fe(II)TPTZ reagent was incubated at 37 °C for 15 min. The absorbance of color complex Fe(II)TPTZ was measured at 593 nm using ascorbic acid as standard. The results were expressed as ascorbic equivalent (mmol/100 g compound).

Ascorbic acid taken = 1.99 × 10−4 mm.

Sample taken = 0.04 mg.

The Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) can be calculated using the following equation: FRAP value ( mm A.A. / 100 g sample ) = Δ OD 593 nm of sample Δ OD 593 nm of standard × mm of standard sample weight ( mg ) × 10 5

5 Conclusion

The protocol offers an expeditious synthesis of quinolone based aurones 3ax by the use of NaOH-an ecofriendly base. An adaptation of MAOS approach prevents the side reaction to occur and facilitate the selectivity in the synthesis of title compound to afford products in good yield. Reviewing the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity data, it has been concluded that majority of the compounds were found to be active against the representative panel of bacterial and fungal pathogens and compounds 3k and 3u were found to be the most efficient antioxidants of the series. Also, SAR study indicates that antimicrobial activity of the title compounds depends on the nature of peripheral substituents present on ring A, B and C while antioxidant activity strongly depends on OH groups present on ring C. Hence, the molecular hybridization of benzofuranone with quinolone nuclei gives the resultant aurone scaffold with fascinating antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. It is worth to mention that aurone derivatives bearing quinolone nucleus can be a vital spot in the medicinal research.
