Type or The emergence of resistance to antibiotic has developed a complicated situation in the treatment of bacterial infections. Considering the antimicrobial resistance phenomenon as one of the greatest challenge of medicinal chemists for search of better anti-bacterial agents, which have potential narrow spectrum activity with low development of resistance potential and low toxicity to host. Cross-linking of peptidoglycan is a key step catalyze by Penicillin binding protein (PBP) to maintain integrity of cell wall in bacterial cell. However, these Penicillin binding protein (PBP) has developed resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) due to acquisition of additional PBP2a. Various Quinazolinone analogues are reported in literature as potential anti-bacterial agents against MRSA. In present study new quinazolinone analogues has been designed, guided by molecular docking, In-silico and MM-GBSA study. Newly designed molecules have been synthesized by medicinal chemistry route and their characterization was done by using IR, NMR, & HR-MS techniques. Biological evaluation of synthesized compounds has been done on wild type Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and resistant MRSA bacterial strains using Streptomycin, Kanamycin and Linezolid as standard drugs respectively. The in vitro evaluation results have shown that compound 5f is active with MIC value 15.625 μg/mL against S. aureus and with MIC value 31.25 μg/mL against MRSA.

TASK-1 is a two-pore domain potassium channel that is important to modulating cell excitability, most notably in the context of neuronal pathways. In order to leverage TASK-1 for therapeutic benefit, its physiological role needs better characterization; however, designing selective inhibitors that avoid the closely related TASK-3 channel has been challenging. In this study, a series of bis-amide derived compounds were found to demonstrate improved TASK-1 selectivity over TASK-3 compared to reported inhibitors. Optimization of a marginally selective hit led to analog 35 which displays a TASK-1 IC 50 = 16 nM with 62-fold selectivity over TASK-3 in an orthogonal electrophysiology assay.

A series of m- and p-substituted anilides of benzoic acid, 2-thienoic acid, and 2-furoic acid were prepared and their 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopic characteristics were examined. In general, good correlations were observed between the chemical shifts of proton and carbon signals of the acyl aromatic rings and the Hammett σ. Plots of the chemical shift values of the carbonyl carbons of the benzanilides against those of the 2-thienamides and 2-furamides gave an excellent correlation and the values of the slopes are 0.79 and 0.52, respectively, in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6. The slopes could be considered as a set of aromaticity index.
