Synthesis, Molecular Docking of Phenolic Amides and 2, 3 Diphenylacrylamide; Active Against Acid Fast Bacteria Kaushik Misra, Ahindra Nag, Sharmi Ganguly, Himadri Sekhar Maity, Avinash Sonawane Chemistryselect, 2025 A novel classes of hybrid molecules were synthesized where substituted phenolic acids and substituted 2, 3 diphenylacrylic acids (combretastatin analogue) were linked with phenastatin analogue through an amide linkage, respectively. In vitro study revealed that the novel amides (E)‐3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐N‐(4‐(2,3,4‐ trimethoxybenzoyl) phenyl)acrylamide (9), 3,4,5‐trihydroxy‐N‐(4‐(2,3,4‐trimethoxybenzoyl) phenyl)benzamide (14), and (E)‐2,3‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐N‐(4‐(2,3,4‐trimethoxybenzoyl)phenyl)acrylamide (20) were active against M. smegmatis with MIC value less than 50 µg mL−1, and a docking study showed those specific molecules were interacting with various amino acid residues of FabG4 of MTb. These novel amides might be useful for developing an alternative antibacterial agent which could control secondary infection, after a details SAR study.
Synthesis of β-Amino Alcohols from Value-Added Plant-Polyphenols Using ACC as a Green Reaction Medium and Mechanistic Study from DFT Analysis Kaushik Misra, Bipasa Halder, Flora Banerjee, Gourhari Jana, Himadri Sekhar Maity, Aditya Balasaheb Kachave, Ahindra Nag Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, 2023 A simple, new, and cost-efficient alternative route has been designed for the synthesis of unique β-amino alcohols under metal-free condition from new type of 1,2- disubstituted styrene epoxides obtained from substituted p-hydroxycinnamic acids via greener approach. It was followed by density functional theory (DFT) based computational study to investigate the mechanistic path for generating acetylated amino alcohols i.e. the main key step for the formation of β-amino alcohols.
