Abstract

Murraya koenigii L. has been explored exhaustively and is known to possess more than 20 different carbazole-based alkaloids having multifarious therapeutic perception of this class of alkaloids, murrayanine is the highest explored alkaloid and is known to have (ethno)-pharmacological perspectives of purgative, astringent, febrifuge, anti-helminthic, anti-oxidant, anti-ulcerogenic, immunomodulation, etc. As murrayanine possess multiple sites for substituting wide-range of electron-donating / -withdrawing groups by semi-synthetic approach, in the present research, a chalcone; (E)-1-(1-methoxy-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-3-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one was fabricated rationally by incorporating a natural portion (murrayanine) in the A-ring and a synthetic component (4-methylsulfonyl group) in the B-ring and screened against two bacterial species (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungal species (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger). The rationally designed chalcone demonstrated noteworthy anti-microbial activity. The fabricated chalcone was observed to be a better anti-bacterial agent as compared to its anti-fungal potentials. As compared to the standard drugs, the experimental molecule does hold well against pathogenic challenges. The present research therefore opened new avenues of judiciously developing a natural scaffold having an active methylsulfonyl group, which will inspire life science researchers across the globe in developing inhibitors with pronounced biological activity as compared with the parent compounds.
