Chemical, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and molecular dynamic studies of spiro[chromane-3',2''-thiopyran]-4'-one 1''-oxide and spiro[chromane-3',2''-thiopyran]-4'-one 1'',1''-dioxide

Abstract

Some of spiro[chromane-3',2''-thiopyran]-4'-ones were oxidized via m-chloroperbenzoic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide to afford the corresponding nine spiro[chromane-3',2''-thiopyran]-4'-one 1''-oxides and three spiro[chromane-3',2''-thiopyran]-4'-one 1'',1''-dioxides, which were confirmed by spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS-ESI, and MS-EI). Whereas, the yield of oxidation using hydrogen peroxide is higher than that of oxidation using m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Moreover, Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922), and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538) were adopted to test the antimicrobial activity of 12 newly synthesized compounds (7a, 8a-c, 9a, 10a-c, 11a, 12a-c). The three sulfoxide derivatives 8b, 10b, and 10c showed antimicrobial activity. Also, antioxidant activity was evaluated for the newly synthesized compounds and shows that, all newly synthesized compounds (7a, 8a-c, 9a, 10a-c, 11a, 12a-c) have antioxidant activity. Molecular dynamic and system stability, Binding interaction mechanism based on binding free energy calculation, Identification of the critical residues responsible for ligands binding, Ligand–residue interaction network profiles, and In silico ADMET properties prediction were studied for the new compounds. The results of molecular dynamic studies were consistent with the in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activity.
