A series of novel quinoline‐proline hybrids (11a‐g) and quinoline‐proline‐1,2,3‐triazole hybrids (12‐14) were synthesized by click chemistry based on molecular hybridization concept and were characterized by NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. All the titled target compounds were tested for antitubercular activity by MABA and LORA methods by in vitro. Interestingly, two compounds (2R,4S)‐1‐((2‐cyclopropyl‐4‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐quinolin‐3‐yl)‐methyl)‐4‐(4‐nitrobenzamido)‐N‐phenylpyrrolidine‐2‐carboxamide (11b) and (2R,4S)‐1‐((2‐cyclopropyl‐4‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐quinolin‐3‐yl)‐methyl)‐4‐(4‐fluorobenzamido)‐N‐phenylpyrrolidine‐2‐carboxamide (11c) exhibited significant activity against the tested Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Further, the cytotoxicity (CC50) profile of the titled compounds against the Vero cell was performed and discussed. A molecular docking study of the hit compounds (11b and 11c) was also performed to find their putative binding interaction with the active site of the target proteins. Finally, in silico ADMET properties were also predicted for all the synthesized molecules to evaluate their drug‐likeness behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
