Popis: The present study is aimed to synthesize the novel 7-hydroxyflavanone derived compounds and to assess their biological activity. Two series of compounds such as 2-phenyl-7-((3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)chroman-4-ones (6a–h) and 4-oxo-2-phenylchroman-7-yl acrylates (8a–k) were synthesized from 7-hydroxyflavanone. All the compounds were subjected to anti-microbial activity and molecular docking studies. The results showed that the compounds 6e, 6g–h, 8h–i and 8k were exhibited most potent anti-microbial activity when compared with the standard drugs. Further, the docking studies revealed that the compounds 6a and 8h have the highest binding affinity score of sterol 14-α demethylase and DNA gyrase B respectively. This is the first report assigning unique synthesis of 7-hydroxyflavanone derivatives and their anti-microbial activity proved with in silico studies. Furthermore, the present study is useful for constructive research to synthesize novel compounds along with their biological activity.
