Abstract

The alarming rise of antibiotic resistance has made it imperative to find novel antimicrobial medications. This study reports the design and synthesis of new molecules based on benzofu-ran-pyrazole scaffolds hybridized with various N/O heterocycles using the molecular hybridiza-tion process. The newly synthesized candidates were confirmed using micro-analytical and spectral analyses, and their antimicrobial characteristics were assessed against different bacterial and fungal isolates in comparison with novobiocin and clotrimazole as antibacterial and anti-fungal standards, respectively. In addition, the new compounds were further evaluated as in vitro antioxidants and anti-inflammatory congeners. The most promising broad spectrum antimicrobial compounds 9, 10 with values ranging from 2.50-20.60 μg/mL were further examined as E. coli DNA gyrase B enzyme suppressors using novobiocin as a reference drug. In silico computational and ADMET studies were carried out for the most active compounds.
