Six new Zn(II) carboxylates derived from 2-(3-chlorophenyl) acetic acid, 2-(2-chlorophenyl) acetic acid and 2-(2-methoxy phenyl) acetic acid were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, multinuclear NMR (1H and 13C NMR) and single-crystal XRD. The geometry around the Zn atom in complexes 1 and 2 is distorted tetrahedral and distorted trigonal bipyramidal, respectively. The compounds were assessed for DNA interaction using UV–visible spectroscopy and viscosity measurements approving a partial intercalation mode of interaction. The interaction of compounds with CTAB was carried out by conductometric method showing a strong interaction with CTAB, which is noticeable from relatively higher CMC and negative Gibbs free energy of micellization. The IC50 values of the synthesized compounds were highly efficient in contrast to the standard Glucantime. The activity represents a higher multitude interaction that might be a cause of enhanced antileishmanial activity. The results of cytotoxicity revealed that the activity of the compounds is higher even at lower concentrations which make them biocompatible as potent drug applicants for further researches in this field. Molecular docking studies also confirm the partial intercalation for the screened compounds with DNA.

3-Arylfuran-2(5H)-one, a novel antibacterial pharmacophore targeting tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS), was hybridized with the clinically used fluoroquinolones to give a series of novel multi-target antimicrobial agents. Thus, twenty seven 3-arylfuran-2(5H)-one-fluoroquinolone hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. Some of the hybrids exhibited merits from both parents, displaying a broad spectrum of activity against resistant strains including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The most potent compound (11) in antibacterial assay shows MIC50 of 0.11 μg/mL against Multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli, being about 51-fold more potent than ciprofloxacin. The enzyme assays reveal that 11 is a potent multi-target inhibitor with IC50 of 1.15 ± 0.07 μM against DNA gyrase and 0.12 ± 0.04 μM against TyrRS, respectively. Its excellent inhibitory activities against isolated enzymes and intact cells strongly suggest that 11 deserves to further research as a novel antibiotic.
