Other factors that have also contrib- uted include population expansion, poor case detection and slow cure rates in developing countries, active transmission in overcrowded hospitals, drug abuse, and homelessness. Successful treatment of fully susceptible TB depends on combination of drugs and duration of therapy, cost, and drug’s side effects. Treatment failure is due to multiple factors including incomplete or short duration therapy and results in persistence of the disease mainly due to emergence of drug resistance. Primary resistance occurs when the resulting Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain is transmitted to a new host and it causes tuberculosis that is already resistant to the drugs used for treatment of previous host [1, 2]. Major factors associated with drug resistance develop- ment include nonadherence to therapy due to multiple factors such as high cost of drugs, long duration of therapy and combination of multiple drugs used in treatment regimens and drug related coinfection with HIV, adverse reactions, prior history of treatment, and treatment failures with anti- tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs [3–6]. Simultaneous treatment of HIV-tuberculosis coinfection may lead to malabsorption and suboptimal therapeutic blood levels of Rifampin (RMP) and Isoniazid (INH) that facilitate the development of drug resistant TB and multiple drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR- TB). e malabsorption of antituberculosis drugs may also occur in patients having some other diseases in association [7, 8]. e treatment of tuberculosis involves first-line drugs including Streptomycin, Isoniazid (INH), Rifampin (RMP), Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide. e second-line treat- ments of tuberculosis involve the application of p-aminos- alicylic acid, Ethionamide, Cycloserine, Azithromycin, Clar- ithromycin, and Fluoroquinolones.

1 Introduction

The tuberculosis also known as TB and ldquowhite plaquerdquois caused by infection with different species of bacteriaincluding Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mycobacteriumafricanum Mycobacterium bovis Mycobacterium capraeMycobacterium canettii Mycobacterium pinnipedii andMycobacterium microti Other factors that have also contrib-uted include population expansion poor case detection andslow cure rates in developing countries active transmissionin overcrowded hospitals drug abuse and homelessnessSuccessful treatment of fully susceptible TB depends oncombination of drugs and duration of therapy cost anddrugrsquos side effects Treatment failure is due to multiple factorsincluding incomplete or short duration therapy and resultsin persistence of the disease mainly due to emergence of drugresistance Primary resistance occurs when the resultingMycobacterium tuberculosis strain is transmitted to a newhost and it causes tuberculosis that is already resistant to thedrugs used for treatment of previous host [1 2]

Major factors associated with drug resistance develop-ment include nonadherence to therapy due tomultiple factorssuch as high cost of drugs long duration of therapy and

combination of multiple drugs used in treatment regimensand drug related coinfection with HIV adverse reactionsprior history of treatment and treatment failures with anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs [3ndash6] Simultaneous treatmentof HIV-tuberculosis coinfection may lead to malabsorptionand suboptimal therapeutic blood levels of Rifampin (RMP)and Isoniazid (INH) that facilitate the development of drugresistant TB and multiple drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) The malabsorption of antituberculosis drugs may alsooccur in patients having some other diseases in association[7 8]

The treatment of tuberculosis involves first-line drugsincluding Streptomycin Isoniazid (INH) Rifampin (RMP)Ethambutol and Pyrazinamide The second-line treat-ments of tuberculosis involve the application of p-aminos-alicylic acid Ethionamide Cycloserine Azithromycin Clar-ithromycin and Fluoroquinolones However the main com-plication associated with TB therapy is the poor assent withthe long duration of the treatment and mainly with thedrugs used to treat MDR-TB that are increasing resistanceexpensive relatively ineffective and having long duration oftreatment The Isoniazid is one of the commonly used and

effective antitubercular drugs but recently because of theappearance ofMTB resistant strainsmany attempts have beenmade to explain the mechanism of interaction of this drugand the origin of drug resistance and research its novelnewdrugs for the treatment of tuberculosis Therefore it is stilla challenge for the researchers to develop drugs of moreefficiency more effective with less toxicity to treat signs andsymptoms of tuberculosis

On the side the various pharmacological properties ofquinoline and their derivatives attracted great attention in thelast few decades because of their vast occurrence in naturalproducts and drugs [9] A large number of efforts have beenmade to develop quinoline-based compounds as importantantitubercular agent which is active on different clinicallyapproved therapeutic targets showing excellent therapeuticpotency in the past decade The literature survey showsthat 5 to 6 membered heterocyclic compounds containinga quinoline ring in a linear fashion were found to exhibitstrong anticancer and antimicrobial activities [10 11] Variousderivatives of quinoline have been employed in the synthe-sis of antifungal antihypertensive and antibacterial drugsRecently interest in the study of Schiff base hydrazones hasbeen increasing because of their antitumour antitubercularand antimicrobial activities Schiff base hydrazones play animportant role in inorganic chemistry as they easily form sta-ble coordination complexes with most transition series metalionsThe developments in the field of bioinorganic chemistryhave increased the interest in hydrazone complexes becauseit has been known that many of these complexes may act aslead for biologically important species [12ndash16]

values (ppm) The 1H NMR spectra of the hydrazones 2andash2e were recorded in DMSO-d6 solvent over the range of0ndash16 ppm and shown in Table 3 The disappearance of thesinglet at 1023 ppm and appearance of new singlet peak inthe range of 859ndash908 ppm are assignable to the azomethineprotons which confirms the condensation of hydrazones 1andash1e and 6-fluoro-2-hydroxyquinoline Also a set of multipletsobserved in the range 660ndash840 ppm is ascribed to thearomatic protons in all the compoundsThe peak observed inthe range of 1176ndash1213 ppm in the hydrazones is attributableto the -OH of quinoline at 2nd position A sharp singlet at1210ndash1226 ppm observed in the hydrazones is due to -NH ofamide carbonyl

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

35 Molar Conductivity Measurements From the mathemat-ical relation Λ119898 = 119870119862 the molar conductance of themetal complexes (Λ119898) can be calculated by dissolving inproper solvent where 119862 is the molar concentration of the

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

For SAR study we have selected ciprofloxacin as refer-ence compound as it shows strong antitubercular activityagainst Mycobacterium tuberculosis The bactericidal actionof ciprofloxacin results from inhibition of the enzymestopoisomerase II (DNA-gyrase) and topoisomerase IV whichare required for bacterial DNA replication transcriptionrepair strand supercoiling repair and recombination Bykeeping in mind two molecules which both bind to acommon active site of receptor and tend to make similarinteractions with the protein and hence have highly similar

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

effective antitubercular drugs but recently because of theappearance ofMTB resistant strainsmany attempts have beenmade to explain the mechanism of interaction of this drugand the origin of drug resistance and research its novelnewdrugs for the treatment of tuberculosis Therefore it is stilla challenge for the researchers to develop drugs of moreefficiency more effective with less toxicity to treat signs andsymptoms of tuberculosis

On the side the various pharmacological properties ofquinoline and their derivatives attracted great attention in thelast few decades because of their vast occurrence in naturalproducts and drugs [9] A large number of efforts have beenmade to develop quinoline-based compounds as importantantitubercular agent which is active on different clinicallyapproved therapeutic targets showing excellent therapeuticpotency in the past decade The literature survey showsthat 5 to 6 membered heterocyclic compounds containinga quinoline ring in a linear fashion were found to exhibitstrong anticancer and antimicrobial activities [10 11] Variousderivatives of quinoline have been employed in the synthe-sis of antifungal antihypertensive and antibacterial drugsRecently interest in the study of Schiff base hydrazones hasbeen increasing because of their antitumour antitubercularand antimicrobial activities Schiff base hydrazones play animportant role in inorganic chemistry as they easily form sta-ble coordination complexes with most transition series metalionsThe developments in the field of bioinorganic chemistryhave increased the interest in hydrazone complexes becauseit has been known that many of these complexes may act aslead for biologically important species [12ndash16]

values (ppm) The 1H NMR spectra of the hydrazones 2andash2e were recorded in DMSO-d6 solvent over the range of0ndash16 ppm and shown in Table 3 The disappearance of thesinglet at 1023 ppm and appearance of new singlet peak inthe range of 859ndash908 ppm are assignable to the azomethineprotons which confirms the condensation of hydrazones 1andash1e and 6-fluoro-2-hydroxyquinoline Also a set of multipletsobserved in the range 660ndash840 ppm is ascribed to thearomatic protons in all the compoundsThe peak observed inthe range of 1176ndash1213 ppm in the hydrazones is attributableto the -OH of quinoline at 2nd position A sharp singlet at1210ndash1226 ppm observed in the hydrazones is due to -NH ofamide carbonyl

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

35 Molar Conductivity Measurements From the mathemat-ical relation Λ119898 = 119870119862 the molar conductance of themetal complexes (Λ119898) can be calculated by dissolving inproper solvent where 119862 is the molar concentration of the

36 Elemental Analysis of Metal Complexes The quantitativeestimation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) has been done by complex-ometric titration with standard EDTA solution In a titrationan accurately known mass of metal complex is dissolved inan aqueous solution by chemical treatment such as acid-digestion of solid metal complex samples and diluted withhigh purity water to an accurately known volume Then anaccurately known volume of the aliquot is pipetted into atitration vessel and the analyte of interest is carefully titratedwith a standardized EDTA solution to the endpoint of thetitration [20] The observed results are represented in Table 8and Figure 1

From the experimental study it is clear that practicalobservations are in good agreement with the theoreticalvalues calculated for 1 2 ratio of metal ligand stoichiometryRegarding the above explanation of the results of variousspectroscopic details it may be concluded that the proposedgeometry for the transitionmetal complexes with general for-mula ML

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

The emission spectra of compounds 2andash2e showed emis-sion band in the range of 451ndash459 nm and compounds3andash3j showed emission band in the range of 456ndash485 nm

values (ppm) The 1H NMR spectra of the hydrazones 2andash2e were recorded in DMSO-d6 solvent over the range of0ndash16 ppm and shown in Table 3 The disappearance of thesinglet at 1023 ppm and appearance of new singlet peak inthe range of 859ndash908 ppm are assignable to the azomethineprotons which confirms the condensation of hydrazones 1andash1e and 6-fluoro-2-hydroxyquinoline Also a set of multipletsobserved in the range 660ndash840 ppm is ascribed to thearomatic protons in all the compoundsThe peak observed inthe range of 1176ndash1213 ppm in the hydrazones is attributableto the -OH of quinoline at 2nd position A sharp singlet at1210ndash1226 ppm observed in the hydrazones is due to -NH ofamide carbonyl

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

35 Molar Conductivity Measurements From the mathemat-ical relation Λ119898 = 119870119862 the molar conductance of themetal complexes (Λ119898) can be calculated by dissolving inproper solvent where 119862 is the molar concentration of the

36 Elemental Analysis of Metal Complexes The quantitativeestimation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) has been done by complex-ometric titration with standard EDTA solution In a titrationan accurately known mass of metal complex is dissolved inan aqueous solution by chemical treatment such as acid-digestion of solid metal complex samples and diluted withhigh purity water to an accurately known volume Then anaccurately known volume of the aliquot is pipetted into atitration vessel and the analyte of interest is carefully titratedwith a standardized EDTA solution to the endpoint of thetitration [20] The observed results are represented in Table 8and Figure 1

From the experimental study it is clear that practicalobservations are in good agreement with the theoreticalvalues calculated for 1 2 ratio of metal ligand stoichiometryRegarding the above explanation of the results of variousspectroscopic details it may be concluded that the proposedgeometry for the transitionmetal complexes with general for-mula ML

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

For SAR study we have selected ciprofloxacin as refer-ence compound as it shows strong antitubercular activityagainst Mycobacterium tuberculosis The bactericidal actionof ciprofloxacin results from inhibition of the enzymestopoisomerase II (DNA-gyrase) and topoisomerase IV whichare required for bacterial DNA replication transcriptionrepair strand supercoiling repair and recombination Bykeeping in mind two molecules which both bind to acommon active site of receptor and tend to make similarinteractions with the protein and hence have highly similar

To minimize the evaporation of medium in the test wellsduring incubation 200120583L of sterile deionized water wasadded to all outer perimeter wells of sterile 96-well plateThe 96-well plate received 100 120583L of the Middlebrook 7H9broth and serial dilution of compounds was made directlyon plate The concentration of the test sample was preparedbetween 100 and 08 120583gmL rangesThese plates were coveredand sealed with paraffin and incubated at 37∘C for five daysThen in the next step 25120583L of freshly prepared 1 1 mixture ofAlamar Blue Reagent Tween 10 and Tween 80 was addedto the plate and incubated for 24 hrs in incubator A bluecolor in thewell indicates bacterial growthwhereas pink colorshows growth of bacteria From this experiment the MIC canbe defined as lowest drug concentration which prevented thecolor change from blue to pink (Figure 1)

383 In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity When we compareMIC values of hydrazone and its complexes it indicates thatmetal complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity thanthe free hydrazone ligands and the same is represented fromthe results given in Table 9

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

values (ppm) The 1H NMR spectra of the hydrazones 2andash2e were recorded in DMSO-d6 solvent over the range of0ndash16 ppm and shown in Table 3 The disappearance of thesinglet at 1023 ppm and appearance of new singlet peak inthe range of 859ndash908 ppm are assignable to the azomethineprotons which confirms the condensation of hydrazones 1andash1e and 6-fluoro-2-hydroxyquinoline Also a set of multipletsobserved in the range 660ndash840 ppm is ascribed to thearomatic protons in all the compoundsThe peak observed inthe range of 1176ndash1213 ppm in the hydrazones is attributableto the -OH of quinoline at 2nd position A sharp singlet at1210ndash1226 ppm observed in the hydrazones is due to -NH ofamide carbonyl

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

35 Molar Conductivity Measurements From the mathemat-ical relation Λ119898 = 119870119862 the molar conductance of themetal complexes (Λ119898) can be calculated by dissolving inproper solvent where 119862 is the molar concentration of the

36 Elemental Analysis of Metal Complexes The quantitativeestimation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) has been done by complex-ometric titration with standard EDTA solution In a titrationan accurately known mass of metal complex is dissolved inan aqueous solution by chemical treatment such as acid-digestion of solid metal complex samples and diluted withhigh purity water to an accurately known volume Then anaccurately known volume of the aliquot is pipetted into atitration vessel and the analyte of interest is carefully titratedwith a standardized EDTA solution to the endpoint of thetitration [20] The observed results are represented in Table 8and Figure 1

From the experimental study it is clear that practicalobservations are in good agreement with the theoreticalvalues calculated for 1 2 ratio of metal ligand stoichiometryRegarding the above explanation of the results of variousspectroscopic details it may be concluded that the proposedgeometry for the transitionmetal complexes with general for-mula ML

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

values (ppm) The 1H NMR spectra of the hydrazones 2andash2e were recorded in DMSO-d6 solvent over the range of0ndash16 ppm and shown in Table 3 The disappearance of thesinglet at 1023 ppm and appearance of new singlet peak inthe range of 859ndash908 ppm are assignable to the azomethineprotons which confirms the condensation of hydrazones 1andash1e and 6-fluoro-2-hydroxyquinoline Also a set of multipletsobserved in the range 660ndash840 ppm is ascribed to thearomatic protons in all the compoundsThe peak observed inthe range of 1176ndash1213 ppm in the hydrazones is attributableto the -OH of quinoline at 2nd position A sharp singlet at1210ndash1226 ppm observed in the hydrazones is due to -NH ofamide carbonyl

32 13C NMR Spectra In the 13C spectra azomethine carbonatom appeared most downfield as reported in literaturevalues in the hydrazones (2andash2e) it was observed in therange of 14097ndash14695 ppm shown in Table 4 The phenoliccarbon appears in the range of 16040ndash16275 ppm Theamidic carbon from hydrazide gives signal in the range of16301ndash16850 ppm The 13C spectral analysis confirms theformation of the hydrazone derivatives 2andash2e

33Mass Spectra The formation of imine is confirmed by thepresence of intense molecular ion peak in the mass spectraof hydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) Spectral evaluation predictsthe molecular weights of the desired hydrazone compounds

34 IR Spectra The infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR-7600 Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd using KBr pellets From

the interpretation of IR spectra we get valuable informationregarding the nature of functional group present in thehydrazone derivatives (2andash2e) and metal complexes (3andash3j)In the IR spectra of hydrazones the imine group (-HC=N-)and hydroxyl group show strong peak in the regions of1625ndash1630 cmminus1 and 3193ndash3538 cmminus1 respectively All metalcomplexes show broad peak in the region of 3200ndash3400 cmminus1due to coordinated water molecules

In order to study the bonding mode of hydrazone ligandto the centralmetal atom the IR spectra of the free hydrazoneswere compared with the spectra of the complexes Theimportant IR bands and their assignments are listed in Tables5 and 6

The phenolic -OH band appears at 3193ndash3588 cmminus1 whichdisappears in IR spectra of the metal complexes howevernew broad peak has been observed at 3200ndash3400 cmminus1 dueto coordinated water molecules which confirms the com-plexation of hydrazones with central metal atom throughphenolic -OH The IR spectra of all the metal complexesshow prominent band at about 501ndash599 cmminus1 due to 120592M-Nstretching The low frequency region of the spectra indicatedthe presence of two new medium intensity bands at about449ndash482 cmminus1 due to 120592M-O vibrations and at 501ndash599 cmminus1due to 120592M-N vibrations

35 Molar Conductivity Measurements From the mathemat-ical relation Λ119898 = 119870119862 the molar conductance of themetal complexes (Λ119898) can be calculated by dissolving inproper solvent where 119862 is the molar concentration of the

36 Elemental Analysis of Metal Complexes The quantitativeestimation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) has been done by complex-ometric titration with standard EDTA solution In a titrationan accurately known mass of metal complex is dissolved inan aqueous solution by chemical treatment such as acid-digestion of solid metal complex samples and diluted withhigh purity water to an accurately known volume Then anaccurately known volume of the aliquot is pipetted into atitration vessel and the analyte of interest is carefully titratedwith a standardized EDTA solution to the endpoint of thetitration [20] The observed results are represented in Table 8and Figure 1

From the experimental study it is clear that practicalobservations are in good agreement with the theoreticalvalues calculated for 1 2 ratio of metal ligand stoichiometryRegarding the above explanation of the results of variousspectroscopic details it may be concluded that the proposedgeometry for the transitionmetal complexes with general for-mula ML

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

36 Elemental Analysis of Metal Complexes The quantitativeestimation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) has been done by complex-ometric titration with standard EDTA solution In a titrationan accurately known mass of metal complex is dissolved inan aqueous solution by chemical treatment such as acid-digestion of solid metal complex samples and diluted withhigh purity water to an accurately known volume Then anaccurately known volume of the aliquot is pipetted into atitration vessel and the analyte of interest is carefully titratedwith a standardized EDTA solution to the endpoint of thetitration [20] The observed results are represented in Table 8and Figure 1

From the experimental study it is clear that practicalobservations are in good agreement with the theoreticalvalues calculated for 1 2 ratio of metal ligand stoichiometryRegarding the above explanation of the results of variousspectroscopic details it may be concluded that the proposedgeometry for the transitionmetal complexes with general for-mula ML

37 Structure Activity Relationship Study (SAR) The Cressetsoftware Forge is a molecular design and SAR (structureactivity relationship) interpretation tool that generates anduses molecular alignments as a way to make meaningfulcomparisons across chemical series The interaction betweena ligand and a protein involves electrostatic fields and surfaceproperties (eg hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic sur-faces) Two molecules which both bind to a common activesite tend to make similar interactions with the protein andhence have highly similar field properties

Accordingly using these properties to describemoleculesis a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist as it concentrateson the aspects of the molecules that are important forbiological activity In Forge molecules can be aligned byusing the fields of the molecules by using shape propertiesor by using a common substructure Using the fields givesa ldquoproteinrsquos viewrdquo of how the molecules would line up inthe active site generating ideas on how molecules withdifferent structures could interact with the same proteinUsing substructure or common shape properties shows howthe fields around a single chemical series vary with activityand in many cases these can be automatically examined togive a 3D structure active relationship (SAR) with predictivepower for new ideas for synthesis

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

For SAR study we have selected ciprofloxacin as refer-ence compound as it shows strong antitubercular activityagainst Mycobacterium tuberculosis The bactericidal actionof ciprofloxacin results from inhibition of the enzymestopoisomerase II (DNA-gyrase) and topoisomerase IV whichare required for bacterial DNA replication transcriptionrepair strand supercoiling repair and recombination Bykeeping in mind two molecules which both bind to acommon active site of receptor and tend to make similarinteractions with the protein and hence have highly similar

To minimize the evaporation of medium in the test wellsduring incubation 200120583L of sterile deionized water wasadded to all outer perimeter wells of sterile 96-well plateThe 96-well plate received 100 120583L of the Middlebrook 7H9broth and serial dilution of compounds was made directlyon plate The concentration of the test sample was preparedbetween 100 and 08 120583gmL rangesThese plates were coveredand sealed with paraffin and incubated at 37∘C for five daysThen in the next step 25120583L of freshly prepared 1 1 mixture ofAlamar Blue Reagent Tween 10 and Tween 80 was addedto the plate and incubated for 24 hrs in incubator A bluecolor in thewell indicates bacterial growthwhereas pink colorshows growth of bacteria From this experiment the MIC canbe defined as lowest drug concentration which prevented thecolor change from blue to pink (Figure 1)

383 In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity When we compareMIC values of hydrazone and its complexes it indicates thatmetal complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity thanthe free hydrazone ligands and the same is represented fromthe results given in Table 9

There was moderate to good antibacterial activityobserved against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37 RVstrain) It was in the range ofMIC values of 625ndash2500 120583gmLconcentration compared to standard antibiotic ciprofloxacinhaving MIC of 312 120583gmL Pyrazinamide having MIC of312 120583gmL and Streptomycin having MIC of 625 120583gmLThese observations may be because of presence of active

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

To minimize the evaporation of medium in the test wellsduring incubation 200120583L of sterile deionized water wasadded to all outer perimeter wells of sterile 96-well plateThe 96-well plate received 100 120583L of the Middlebrook 7H9broth and serial dilution of compounds was made directlyon plate The concentration of the test sample was preparedbetween 100 and 08 120583gmL rangesThese plates were coveredand sealed with paraffin and incubated at 37∘C for five daysThen in the next step 25120583L of freshly prepared 1 1 mixture ofAlamar Blue Reagent Tween 10 and Tween 80 was addedto the plate and incubated for 24 hrs in incubator A bluecolor in thewell indicates bacterial growthwhereas pink colorshows growth of bacteria From this experiment the MIC canbe defined as lowest drug concentration which prevented thecolor change from blue to pink (Figure 1)

383 In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity When we compareMIC values of hydrazone and its complexes it indicates thatmetal complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity thanthe free hydrazone ligands and the same is represented fromthe results given in Table 9

There was moderate to good antibacterial activityobserved against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37 RVstrain) It was in the range ofMIC values of 625ndash2500 120583gmLconcentration compared to standard antibiotic ciprofloxacinhaving MIC of 312 120583gmL Pyrazinamide having MIC of312 120583gmL and Streptomycin having MIC of 625 120583gmLThese observations may be because of presence of active

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

The emission spectra of compounds 2andash2e showed emis-sion band in the range of 451ndash459 nm and compounds3andash3j showed emission band in the range of 456ndash485 nm

To assess the antimycobacterial activity potential of this classof compounds some of the compounds synthesized werechecked againstMycobacterium tuberculosis (H37 RV strain)ATCC number 27294 All the compounds were screened forantituberculosis activities and results are worthy of furtherinvestigationsThe incorporation of Zn2+ andCu2+ effectivelyincreases the conformational rigidity of the hydrazones and

Metal complexes showed greater activity as comparedwith hydrazone ligand This may be probably because of thegreater lipophilic character of the complexes This increasedactivity of the metal complexes can be explained on thebasis of coordination theory [22] According to Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability only lipid soluble materialsfavour the passage of the lipid membrane that surrounds thecell Therefore the extent of lipid solubility of a molecule isan important factor which controls the antimicrobial activityAccording to the molecular theory of coordination of metalorbital overlap with ligand orbitals this reduces the positivecharge on themetal ion by accepting the electrons fromdonorgroups of the hydrazone ligand [23 24]Thus the donation ofthe electrons from ligand to metal also favours the increaseddelocalization of the 120587-electrons through entire coordinatingrings This results in increased lipophilicity of the metalcomplexes Therefore the enhanced lipophilicity facilitatesthe passage of the complexes across the lipid cell membraneof the bacteria and hence it can block the metal bindingsites on different enzymes of bacteria [25] Also these metalcomplexes disturb the respiration process of the cell andthereby prevent the synthesis of proteins If the synthesis ofproteins is blocked then formation of bacterial cell wall is notpossible and hence finally it results in cell death and thereforerestricts further growth of the bacteria [26] According toone more possible mechanism these complexes might beinteracting with the DNA gyrase enzyme which is essentialfor DNAmultiplication step The DNA gyrase is inhibited by

metal complexes which alter the multiplication of bacterialcells ultimately resulting in death of the bacteria [27 28]

However in case of test samples 3f and 3h complexesshowed good activity up to MIC value of 65120583gmL and3c 3e 3g and 3i complexes showed activity up to MICvalue of 125 120583gmL This could be due to coordination ofcentral metal atom to form a specific complex with cellwall protein and ultimately interfering in cell wall synthesisof Mycobacterium tuberculosis during cell mitosis phase ofmultiplication The observed results of the test compoundsindicate the future potential for the development of metalcoordination complexes to solve the limitations due to cur-rently available antituberculosis agents to treat multiple drugresistant tuberculosis

39 Fluorescence Study The UV-Visible absorption spectrawere recorded with UV spectrophotometer model ShimadzuUV-1800The path length of the measurements was 1 cmThefluorescence study was done on a Spectrofluorophotometermodel Shimadzu RF-5301pc having 1 cm path length Theconcentration 200 ppm of ligand and metal complexes whichwas in DMF (NN-dimethylformamide) was prepared forstudy Figures 6ndash9 show absorption as well as emissionspectraThe instrumental results are summarized in Table 10

All the ligands in UV-Visible spectra exhibit bandsaround 381ndash388 nm The broad intense band around 280 nmin the ligands can be assigned to intraligand n-plowast transitionassociated with the azomethine linkage This band experi-ences red shift in all the complexesThe bands at around 390ndash408 nm are attributed to the ligand to metal charge transfertransitions

The emission spectra of compounds 2andash2e showed emis-sion band in the range of 451ndash459 nm and compounds3andash3j showed emission band in the range of 456ndash485 nm
