Multiple biological activities and molecular docking studies of newly synthesized...

A series of fifteen new chemical entities, 3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide chalcones (6a-o), were synthesized as new hybrids with enriched biological activities compared to their parent molecules. The compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Mass and IR spectral studies. Their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities have been evaluated. These compounds showed moderate to good antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The molecular docking analysis was performed with cyclooxygenase enzyme to ascertain the probable binding model.
