Abstract
The development of small molecule based drugs as an antimicrobial agent is an important area of research nowadays. In the present work, two new molecular entities based on dialkylated erythrosin B has been synthesized via Arbuzov type of rearrangement using dialkyl sulphite as a reagent in the presence of Et3N. Ethyl and methyl based dialkylated derivatives of erythrosin B were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS data. Keeping in mind the biological safety of erythrosin B, synthesized derivatives were checked for their antimicrobial activity against the microbial strains Escherichia coli (E.coli). The two were found to be effective against the E. coli with the antimicrobial activity similar to that of Ampicillin. Further, the trend of antimicrobial activity has been supported by DFT data analysis and it was observed that compound, B with low HOMO (–5.93 eV) and LUMO (–3.11 eV) energies is a better antimicrobial agent than compound A.
期刊介绍:
Main Group Chemistry is intended to be a primary resource for all chemistry, engineering, biological, and materials researchers in both academia and in industry with an interest in the elements from the groups 1, 2, 12–18, lanthanides and actinides. The journal is committed to maintaining a high standard for its publications. This will be ensured by a rigorous peer-review process with most articles being reviewed by at least one editorial board member. Additionally, all manuscripts will be proofread and corrected by a dedicated copy editor located at the University of Kentucky.
