Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant threat to global public health, thus precipitating an exigent need for new drugs with improved therapeutic efficacy. In this regard, molecular hybridization is deemed as a viable strategy to afford multi-target-based drug candidates. Herein, we report a library of quinoline—1H-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids synthesized via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). Antimicrobial evaluation identified compound 16 as the most active hybrid in the library with a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity at an MIC80 value of 75.39?μM against methicillin-resistant S. aureus, E. coli, A. baumannii, and multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. The compound also showed interesting antifungal profile against C. albicans and C. neoformans at an MIC80 value of 37.69 and 2.36?μM, respectively, superior to fluconazole. In vitro toxicity profiling revealed non-hemolytic activity against human red blood cells (hRBC) but partial cytotoxicity to human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). Additionally, in silico studies predicted excellent drug-like properties and the importance of triazole ring in stabilizing the complexation with target proteins. Overall, these results present compound 16 as a promising scaffold on which other molecules can be modeled to deliver new antimicrobial agents with improved potency.

A computational approach combining a structure-activity relationship library of halogenated and the corresponding unsubstituted ligands (called XSAR) with QM-based molecular docking and binding free energy calculations was used to search for amino acids frequently targeted by halogen bonding (hot spots) in a 5-HT7R as a case study. The procedure identified two sets of hot spots, extracellular (D2.65, T2.64, and E7.35) and transmembrane (C3.36, T5.39, and S5.42), which were further verified by a synthesized library of halogenated arylsulfonamide derivatives of (aryloxy)ethylpiperidines. It was found that a halogen bond formed between T5.39 and a bromine atom at 3-position of the aryloxy fragment caused the most remarkable, 35-fold increase in binding affinity for 5-HT7R when compared to the nonhalogenated analog. The proposed paradigm of halogen bonding hot spots was additionally verified on D4 dopamine receptor showing that it can be used in rational drug design/optimization for any protein target.
