The design and synthesis of columnar liquid crystals with high fluorescence at aggregated states (eliminating the ACQ effect) was an important challenge in the field of liquid crystalline materials. In this work, the first rufigallol columnar liquid crystals with AIE groups were prepared and exhibited good fluorescence in aggregated states. A series of diphenylacrylonitrile-rufigallol-diphenylacrylonitrile trimers was designed and prepared in 70–78% yields. They showed the ordered hexagonal columnar liquid crystals based on the induction of planar rufigallol structures. They also exhibited the good fluorescence in aggregated states with the fluorescence quantum yields of 0.21–0.26 based on the AIE effect of diphenylacrylonitrile units. The length of bridging alkyl chains between rufigallol and diphenylacrylonitrile units contributed to decrease the mesophase transition temperature and increase the fluorescence quantum yields.

The high mortality rate and the increasing prevalence of Mtb resistance are the major concerns for the Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in this century. To counteract the prevalence of Mtb resistance, we have synthesized 2-aryl benzazole based dual targeted molecules. Compound 9m and 9n were found to be equally active against replicating and non-replicating form of Mtb (MIC(MABA) 1.98 and 1.66 μg/ml; MIC(LORA) 2.06 and 1.59 μg/ml respectively). They arrested the cell division (replicating Mtb) by inhibiting the GTPase activity of FtsZ with IC50 values 45 and 64 μM respectively. They were also capable of kill Mtb in non-replicating form by inhibiting the biosynthesis of menaquinone which was substantiated by the MenG inhibition (IC50 = 11.62 and 7.49 μM respectively) followed by the Vit-K2 rescue study and ATP production assay.

The increasing common occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become an urgent public health issue. There are currently some infections without any effective treatment, which require new therapeutic strategies. An attractive alternative is the design of compounds capable of disrupting bacterial communication known as quorum sensing (QS). In Gram-negative bacteria, such communication is regulated by acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). Triggering of QS after bacteria have reached a high cell density allows them to proliferate before expressing virulence factors. Our group previously reported that hexyloxy phenylimidazoline (9) demonstrated 71% inhibitory activity of QS at 100 μM (IC50 = 90.9 μM) in Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative bacterium. The aim of the present study was to take 9 as a lead compound to design and synthesize three 2-imidazolines (13-15) and three 2-oxazolines (16-18), to be evaluated as quorum-sensing inhibitors on C. violaceum CV026. We were looking for compounds with a higher affinity towards the Cvi receptor of this bacterium and the ability to inhibit QS. The binding mode of the test compounds on the Cvi receptor was explored with docking studies and molecular dynamics. It was found that 8-pentyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (13) reduced the production of violacein (IC50 = 56.38 μM) without affecting bacterial growth, suggesting inhibition of quorum sensing. Indeed, compound 13 is apparently one of the best QS inhibitors known to date. Molecular docking revealed the affinity of compound 13 for the orthosteric site of N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (C6-AHL) on the CviR protein. Ten amino acid residues in the active binding site of C6-AHL in the Cvi receptor interacted with 13, and 7 of these are the same as those interacting with AHL. Contrarily, 8-octyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (14), 8-decyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (15), and 9-decyloxyphenyl-2-oxazoline (18) bound only to an allosteric site and thus did not compete with C6-AHL for the orthosteric site.

The high mortality rate and increasing prevalence of resistant Mtb are the major concerns for the Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in this century. To curtail the prevalence of resistant Mtb, we have prepared 1,3-oxazine-2-one based dual targeted molecules. Compound 67 and 68 were found to be equally active against replicating and non-replicatiing form of Mtb (MICMABA 3.48 and 2.97 μg/ml; MICLORA 2.94 and 2.15 μg/ml respectively). They had found to suppress the biosynthesis of alfa, methoxy and keto-mycolate completely, as well as inhibit enzymatic activity of MenG (IC50 = 9.11 and 6.25 μg/ml respectively for H37Ra; IC50 = 11.76 and 10.88 μg/ml respectively for M smegmatis).

We report here design and synthesis of two new mesogenic homologous series of coumarin derivatives consisting of chalcone and imine central linkages along with terminal n-alkoxy chain. All the compounds were synthesized and characterized by combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. All compounds were screened under polarising optical microscope (POM) for liquid crystalline properties, thermogram of all compounds were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to get phase transition temperatures, enthalpy and entropy. X-ray single crystal study of n-octyloxy coumarin derivative 16 g was resolved with imine central linkage, which showed linear rod like geometry.

Based on the biologically active heterocycle quinoline, a series (18a-p) of quinoline hydrazone analogues were prepared, starting from 6-bromo/6-chloro-2-methyl-quinolin-4-yl-hydrazines. For all the newly synthesized compounds cytotoxic activities were carried out at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA, against full NCI 60 human cancer cell lines. Amongst all the tested compounds, nine compounds (18b, 18d, 18e, 18f, 18g, 18h, 18i, 18j, 18l) exhibited important anti-proliferative activity at 10 μM concentration and were further screened at 10-fold dilutions of five different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μM) with GI50 values ranging from 0.33 to 4.87 μM and LC50 values ranging from 4.67 μM to >100j μM. Further, the mean values of GI50, TGI and LC50 of the most potent compound 18j were compared with the clinically used anticancer agents bendamustine and chlorambucil, revealed that the quinolyl hydrazones holds promise as a potential anticancer agents. Further all the newly prepared compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. All the quinolyl hydrazones displayed good to excellent antimicrobial activity with MIC values ranging from 6.25 to 100 μg/mL against the tested pathogenic strains. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds into the active binding site of human DNA topoisomerase I (htopoI) was carried out to predict the binding mode to the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors. Hopefully in future, compounds based on quinoline core could be used as a lead compounds for designing new anticancer agents.

Two homologous series based on three linking groups have been synthesized and well characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared [FT-IR] and proton magnetic resonance magnetic resonance [1H NMR] spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by using optical polarized microscopy (POM) and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. In this present investigation, we have synthesized two homologous series viz. (E)-4-(3-(4-(tetra decanoyloxy) phenyl) acryloyl) phenyl-4-n-alkoxy benzoate (Series-1) and 4-((E)-3-(4-(((E)-3-(4-n-alkoxy phenyl) acryloyl) oxy) phenyl)-3-oxo prop-1-en-1-yl) phenyl tetradecanoate (Series-2). Both of the series are differing with respect to the first linking group. All the homologous in following series displays LC properties on heating as well as cooling condition except first four homologous (C1 to C4) in series-1 and six homologous (C1 to C6) in series-2. To get more insights, the HOMO, LUMO studies are carried out which supports intramolecular charge transfer interactions in this class of mesogens.

{1-[4-(n-Alkoxy)]-2-(4’-decyloxy)benzylidene}hydrazines (n-alkoxy = O(CH2)nH, n = 1–9, 12, 16 or 18), an asymmetrical series of 1,2-disubstituted hydrazines, were prepared in a simple two-step procedure as a part of our continuing work in evaluating hydrophobic azine compounds as photoluminescent liquid crystalline materials. The compounds were characterized spectroscopically and their liquid crystalline behaviour and luminescent properties were evaluated using polarized light optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction techniques. The studies revealed that all of these compounds are liquid crystalline materials exhibiting photoluminescent properties in the crystalline and liquid crystal states.

A new family of bowl-shaped molecules with a calix[4]arene rigid core appended by four-side and two-side substitution with trans 4-n-alkoxy cinnamic acid has been synthesized and well characterized. The LC behaviours of the novel materials were studied by using optical polarising microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction methods to confirm the smectic organization. It is found that all of the prepared materials display enantiotropic LC phases in the present series-1 (1d4-1, 1d5-l, 1d8-1, 1d10-l, 1d12-l, 1d14-l) and series-2 (1d4-1l, 1d5-ll, 1d8-1l, 1d10-ll, 1d12-ll, 1d14-ll). The electrochemical behaviour shows the higher reactivity of the proposed derivatives, which is in good agreement with the DFT values. The relationship between the structure and the mesomorphic behaviour of the compounds in both series is discussed. These synthesized supramolecular compounds show blue luminescence in solution as well as in solid thin films under long wavelength UV light. To get more insights, HOMO and LUMO studies were carried out, which support intramolecular charge transfer interactions in this class of mesogens.
