Design, synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel quinoline derivatives: an and study.

A series of new quinoline derivatives has been designed, synthesized and evaluated as antibacterial and antifungal agents functioning as peptide deformylase enzyme (PDF) inhibitors and fungal cell wall disruptors on the basis of computational and experimental methods. The molecular docking and ADMET assessment aided in the synthesis of quinoline derivatives starting from 6-amino-4-methyl-1-quinoline-2-one substituted with different types of sulfonyl/benzoyl/propargyl moieties. These newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity.
