A novel series of (E)-N'-(3,3-dimethyl-2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ylidene)-4-methoxybenzohydrazide (DMMs) derivatives have been designed, synthesized by using FT-IR, 1 H, 13 C NMR and Mass spectral studies. The antibacterial activity of the DMMs evaluated against different bacteria viz. Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Among them, compounds 10 and 11 were found to be the most potent than the others. Different docking programs (Auto-Dock and molecular docking server) have been used to assess the accuracy of virtual screening methods against DNA gyrase target. An analysis provides us which functions perform well and feasibility of two docking approaches. In connection with these efforts we conclude that Auto Dock program gives us more accuracy and scoring reliability of the selected docking approaches. From these results, we report analogue 10 and 11 as promising candidates for the discovery of well-balanced compounds.
