Abstract

A library of seventeen novel 1,2,3-triazole derivatives were efficiently synthesized in excellent yields by the popular 'click chemistry' approach and evaluated in vitro for their anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (ATCC 25177 strain). Among the series, six compounds exhibited significant activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 3.12 to 0.78μg/mL and along with no significant cytotoxicity against MBMDMQs (mouse bone marrow derived macrophages). Molecular docking of the target compounds into the active site of DprE1 (Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose-2'-epimerase) Enzyme revealed noteworthy information on the plausible binding interactions.
