Abstract:
A new α-Tetralone based chalcone compound, (2E)-2-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (EBDN) has been synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of α-Tetralone (1) with 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde (2) in basic medium. Then it was allowed to grow through slow evaporation solution growth technique. The molecular structure of grown EBDN has been systematically characterized by SCXRD, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic studies. The micro-hardness, thermal (TGA & DTA) and photoluminence studies of the synthesized EBDN were also examined. The EBDN was screened for its anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and anti-oxidant activity. It has shown admirable anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activity. Protein-Ligand interactions of EBDN with SARS-CoV-2 main protease (PDB code: 6yb7) also performed.
