In the present work we synthesized a new series of phenoxyacetohydrazide functional compounds 4a-k and characterized by spectral data. Synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity. Compounds 4a, 4j and 4k exhibited inhibitory activity against S. aureus NCIM 5022 with MIC value of 64?μg/ml These compounds also exhibited activity against methicillin resistant S. aureus ATCC 43300 with MIC of 128?μg/ml. Among all the tested compounds 4c and 4j showed highest activity, respectively against B. subtilis NCIM 2545 and K. pneumoniae NCIM 2706. Only one compound i.e. 4d showed activity against another Gram-negative bacteria P. aeruginosa NCIM 2036 with MIC value of 64?μg/ml. Among three tested compounds, 4k exhibited highest inhibitory activity against S. aureus MurD enzyme with IC50 value of 35.80?μM. Further binding interactions of 4a-k with the modelled S. aureus MurD catalytic pocket residues is investigated with the extra-precision molecular docking and binding free energy calculation by MM-GBSA approach. The van der Waals energy term was observed to be the driving force for binding. Further, 50?ns molecular dynamics simulations were performed to validate the stabilities of 4j- and 4k-modelled S. aureus MurD. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

A series of new N,N′-diacylhydrazine derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were verified by 1H-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The herbicidal activities and plant growth regulating activity of these N,N′-diacylhydrazines were evaluated. The herbicidal activity results showed that most of these N,N′-diacyl-hydrazines showed excellent in vivo activities against Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria sanguinalis, Brassica napus, Amaranthus retroflerus. Most of them exhibited higher herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous weeds than monocotyledonous weeds. To further investigate the structure-activity relationship, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed on the basis of herbicidal activity data. Both the steric and electronic field distributions of CoMFA are in good agreement in this work.
