Synthesis, antimicrobial activities and QSAR studies of heterocyclic Schiff base ligands with organosilicon(IV) halides
摘要:
A series of heterocyclic Schiff base ligands 4-hydroxy-3-[1-{(2-hydroxy-aryl) imino}-ethyl]-6-methyl-pyran-2-one; aryl = phenyl, 4-methylphenyl, 4-chlorophenyl or 4-nitrophenyl (1-4) and their organosilicon(IV) complexes R2Si(L) (R = Et, Bu or Ph) (5-16) were synthesized and characterized. The elemental analyses, molar conductance and spectral (IR, H-1, C-13 and Si-29 NMR) data suggested pentacoordinated environment around the silicon atom, where tridentate ligands coordinate through the azomethine nitrogen and oxygen of hydroxyl groups. The ligands and their organosilicon complexes were tested in vitro against pathogenic bacteria and fungi to assess their antimicrobial properties. The activity of the ligands improved against most of the strains of the tested microorganisms on complexation to the organosilicon groups. The antimicrobial activities were correlated with QSAR studies using the linear free energy relationship model which indicate the importance of topological parameters, third-order and valence first-order molecular connectivity indices ((3) chi (v) and (1) chi (v) ), to explain the antibacterial and antifungal activities of all synthesized compounds.
