Aim:
Schiff bases, owing to their versatile pharmacological and industrial applications, have attracted significant attention in drug design.
Material And Methods:
The newly synthesized Schiff Base derivatives of bromhexine were characterized using spectral techniques, including Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1 H NMR, 13C NMR) analyses. Pharmacokinetic studies via SwissADME web server. Antiviral screening using the hemagglutination inhibition assay identified BM9 as the most potent compound (IC50 = 3.01 ± 1.70). Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method.
Results And Conclusion:
Molecular docking studies against α-amylase and α-glucosidase revealed strong inhibition scores, with BM6 and BM7 emerging as the most promising candidates. This study concludes that derivatives could serve as lead compounds in the development of novel therapeutic agents.
