Local reactivity properties and potential for application in new pharmaceutical compounds have been addressed for the three newly synthetized oxadiazole derivatives (2-(5-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrazine (ORTHONITRO), 2-(5-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrazine (METANITRO) and 2-(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrazine (PARANITRO), by application of computational molecular modeling. Within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) this study encompassed calculations of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), average local ionization energies (ALIE) and bond dissociation energies for hydrogen abstraction (H-BDE). MD simulations have been used in order to assess the influence of water and to identify the atoms of these molecules with preference towards the interaction with water molecules. Molecular docking procedure has been applied in order to check the binding activity of these derivatives against the Glucan endo-1.6-beta-glucosidase inhibitor, Acrocylindropepsin inhibitor and Chymosin inhibitor proteins. The pharmaceutical potential of these derivatives has been assessed by the calculations of the well-established drug likeness parameters. A strong out-of-plane CH mode of the phenyl rings are observed at 769 cm?1 for ORTHONITRO, 768 cm?1 for METANITRO and at 848 cm?1 for PARANITRO in the IR spectrum as expected for substituted benzenes. The VCD signals, corresponding to C[dbnd]N and NO2 modes of the title compounds are good markers for assigning of absolute configuration. In the title compounds, in ORTHONITRO, the oxadiazole ring is tilted from the phenyl and pyrazine ring while for METANITRO and PARANITRO, there is a planar orientation. The first hyperpolariazabilities of ORTHONITRO, METANITRO and PARANITRO are respectively, 34.83, 54.50 and 174.05 times that of urea. For all the compounds, HOMO is delocalized over the pyrazine and oxadiazole rings, while LUMO is delocalized over whole molecule, except pyrazine ring of ORTHONITRO, over phenyl ring and NO2 group of METANITRO and in the entire molecule of PARANITRO. The title compounds are docked with the proteins, Glucan endo-1.6-beta-glucosidase inhibitor, Acrocylindropepsin inhibitor and Chymosin inhibitor and METANITRO exhibits more inhibitory activity against the receptors than the other ligands. The results obtained from anti-TB activity are more promising as the compounds were found to be more potent than reference standard, ORTHONITRO (MIC = 1.6 μg/ml), METANITRO (MIC = 0.8 μg/ml), PARANITRO (MIC = 1.6 μg/ml), streptomycin (MIC = 6.2 μg/ml) and pyrazinamide (MIC = 3.1 μg/ml).

TB continues to be a leading health threat despite the availability of powerful anti-TB drugs. We report herein the design and synthesis of various hybrid molecules comprising pyrazine scaffold and various formerly identified anti-mycobacterial moieties. Thirty-one compounds were screened in vitro for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain using MABA assay. The results revealed that six compounds (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 14b and 18) displayed significant activity against Mtb with MIC values ≤6.25 μg/ml versus 6.25 μg/ml for pyrazinamide. The most active compounds were then assessed for their in vitro cytotoxicity against PBMC normal cell line using MTT assay and showed SI > 200. Several in silico studies have been carried out for target fishing of the novel compounds such as shape-based similarity, pharmacophore mapping and inverse docking. Based on this multi-step target fishing study, we suggest that pantothenate synthetase could be the possible target responsible for the action of these compounds. The most active compounds were then successfully docked into the active site of pantothenate synthetase enzyme with favorable binding interactions. In addition, in silico prediction of physicochemical, ADMET and drug-like properties were also determined indicating that compounds 8b, 8c and 8d are promising candidates for the development of new anti-TB agents with enhanced activity and better safety profile.

The invention discloses a carboxylic acid complex, belonging to the technical field of chemical synthesis. The carboxylic acid complex is composed of 30-50ml of anhydrous ethanol, 0.2-0.5 mol/L 2-methyl pyrazine, 1.25-1.6 mol/L potassium hydroxide solution and 5.0*10-5.0*10 mol/L catalyst. The synthesis method of the carboxylic acid complex comprises the following steps: S1: adding the 5.0*10-5.0*10 mol/L catalyst to react; S2: after the reaction finishes, carrying out vacuum filtration while the solution is hot; and S3: filtering the precipitate generated in the step S2, washing, and recrystallizing with hot water to obtain the solid carboxylic acid complex. The operating method is simple, and the carboxylic acid complex has high yield. The added catalyst converts oxygen molecules into an effective oxidizer, and thus, substitutes the expensive and polluting chemical oxidizer, thereby lowering the production cost, reducing the generation of three wastes and conforming to the energy-saving demand of clean production at present.
