Abstract

Design, synthesis and characterization of new trinary Benzocoumarin-Thiazoles-Azomethine derivatives having three bioactive scaffolds in a single structural unit were carried out. The newly synthesized molecules were investigated for the inhibitory activity on human tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (h-TNAP) and human intestinal alkaline phosphatase (h-IAP) isozymes. All the tested compounds exhibited the potent inhibition profile on both isozymes of alkaline phosphatase i.e., h-TNAP and h-IAP. Molecular docking studies were performed to explore the putative binding mode of interactions of selective inhibitors. Moreover, the synthesized derivatives were evaluated against cervical cancer cell line, HeLa and a few compounds exhibited significant inhibition in the range of 21.0-69.7%. The derivatives can be potential and selective alkaline phosphatase inhibitors for future studies.
