Synthesis and molecular docking studies of chrysin derivatives as antibacterial agents
Abstract
In order to search for drugs with excellent antibacterial activities, a series of novel chrysin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antibacterial agents. Results of the preliminary antibacterial tests against six human pathogenic bacteria in vitro showed that these compounds exhibited activities to some extent, and some displayed excellent activities than the natural parent chrysin, while some were even more potent than the positive drug Penicillin. Moreover, the molecular model for the binding between compound 8c and the active site of Escherichia coli β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (Escherichia coli FabH) was provided on the basis of the computational docking results.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
