The DMSO/I2 mediated cyclization reaction of (E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one afforded the 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (DMPC). DMPC was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS techniques. DMPC was screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains namely E. coli, B. subtilis, S. aureus, and Streptococcus spp. and antifungal activity against R. oryzae, P. chrysogenum, A. niger, and C. albicans fungal strains. The synthesized compounds exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. DMPC possesed potent antibacterial activity against Streptococcus spp. while the powerful antifungal action was found against P. chrysogenum. Besides % free radical scavenging activity was accessed using DPPH and OH assays. DMPC was found to be more active DPPH radical scavenger than OH radical. Theoretical investigation of DMPC was carried out by density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Computational investigation of molecular structure, MESP, and HOMO–LUMO was performed to study DMPC. The calculated energy gap of FMOs was found to be 4.25 eV for DMPC. In the MESP plot, the most electronegative potential region found around the oxygen atom. The theoretical and experimental NMR was correlated and correct NMR assignments have been made. Based on the physicochemical features, lipophilicity, water solubility, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and drug similarity matching investigations, the DMPC was revealed to have favorable biological qualities. Highlights: DMSO/I2 mediated cyclization reaction of (E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one afforded the 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (DMPC). DMPC was screened for its in vitro antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains namely E. coli, B. subtilis, S. aureus, and Streptococcus spp. Antifungal activity of DMPC against R. oryzae, P. chrysogenum, A. niger, and C. albicans fungal strains. DMPC exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. Computational study on MESP, HOMO–LUMO, NMR, and IR. ADME study indicates good pharmacological profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
