ABSTRACT:

Flavones are the derivatives of flavonoids, possessing the wider range of biological actions. A series of flavonoid derivatives with the help of substituted benzaldehyde were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity by cup-plate agar diffusion method. Out of six compounds 1-(2, 4- dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-(dimethyl amino) phenyl) prop-2ene-1one.(MCR-001) and 2-(4-(Di-methylamino) phenyl)-7-hydroxy-4-H-chromen-4-one. (MCR-002), 2-hydroxy-2-(4-(methyl (4-nitrostyryl) amino) phenyl)-4-oxochroman-7-yl benzoate. (MCR-004) and 2-(4-dimethyl amino) phenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-7-yl benzoate. (MCR-005) 2-(4-dimethyl amino) phenyl)-2-hydroxy 4-oxochroman-6-yl benzoate (MCR-005) have shown promising antibacterial activity also 7-hydroxy-2-(4-methyl (4-nitrostyryl) amino) phenyl)-4-H-chromen-4-one (MCR-003) ) and 2-(4-(4-chlorobenzyl) methyl) amino) phenyl)-2, 6-dihydroxychroman-4-one. (MCR-006) shown moderate antibacterial activity. This work has revealed the scope and potential of flavonoids for future exploration to synthesize substituted flavonoids and chalcone derivatives by the use of different substituted benzaldehyde.

 

KEY WORDS: Flavonoid, agar diffusion method, antibacterial activity.

 

 


INTRODUCTION:

Flavonoid has gained recent interest because of their broad biological and pharmacological activities including antioxidant [14], Anxiolytic[5], anti cancer[6], analgesic[78], and antimicrobial[9] activities. Flavonoid showed promise of being powerful antioxidants which can protect the human body from free radicals. The function of an antioxidant is to intercept and react with free radicals at a rate faster than the substrate.

 

Since free radicals are able to attack at a variety of target including lipids, fats and proteins, it is believed that they may damage organisms, leading to disease, poisoning and including aging[10]. These derivatives as ref.[11] synthesized. The chemical structures of the new derivatives were confirmed by elemental and spectral (1H-NMR and Mass) analyses. All compounds were investigated for antibacterial activity

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

All materials were procured from Sigma Aldrich and Merck specialties Pvt. Ltd. (Mumbai. India). Solvents were dried and distilled being used. Anhydrous sodium sulphate was used to dry the solvents.

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analyses were carried out on aluminum plates (Merck) precoated with silica gel 60 F254 (0.2 mm), and spots were visualized with UV light and I2. Liquid intermediates were checked for purity using Gas chromatography (Pack column SE-30, OV-101, and capillary column BP-5). Melting points were taken in open glass capillary using OMEGA melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. Infra red (IR) spectra were recorded on KBr pellets on a Shimadzu 1000 FTIR spectrometer in the range of 4000-200 cm-1, Resolution 2.0 with number of scan - 45. Apodization; Happ-Genzel. Proton (1H) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of compounds were recorded on Bruker Advance II 400 NMR Spectrophotometer using CDCl3 solvent, at SAIF, Punjab University, Chandigarh. The method followed for the synthesis of flavonoids derivatives has been elaborated here:

Pharmacological evaluation

Antibacterial activity

The compounds were tested in-vitro for their antibacterial activity against two microorganisms viz. Escherichia coli (NCTC 10418), and Staphylococcus aureus (NCTC 6571) which are pathogenic in human beings.

 

a) Method:

Cup-plate agar diffusion method using Nutrient agar.

 

b) Preparation of test solutions:

Each test compound (5 mg) was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (5 mL) to give stock solution of concentration 100 mcg/mL. Then 0.1 mL of this solution was used for testing.

 

c) Preparation of standard solution:

Standard drug Norfloxacin was used. The concentration was 100 mcg/mL.

 

d) Method of testing:

Nutrient agar plates were prepared by pouring 15-20 mL of the medium into each sterilized petridish and were allowed to set at room temperature. The cell suspension was standardized to the density of 530 nm using spectrophotometer and was inoculated over the surface of agar medium using sterile cotton swab. The three cups were scooped in each plate using a sterile cork borer of 6 mm diameter. Then the solutions of test compounds (0.10 mL) were added in cups by using micropipettes and these plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 hrs. The zone of inhibition was measured in mm for each organism.
