1. Introduction

Heterocyclic nitrogen compounds are responsible for the mechanism of the drug and pharmacological activity [1]. Pyrimidine derivatives are a favored heterocyclic scaffolds that can act as ligands for various receptors in the body [2]. Pyrimidine ring can be found in nucleoside antibiotics so, they exhibit antimicrobial such as antibacterials [3]. Pyrimidine and its derivatives have been proven to be used as anti-neuroinflammatory, neuroprotective, analgesic agents [4,5,6,7,8]. They also, have activities against β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE-1), monoamine oxidases and cholinesterases [9]. Pyrimidines have been shown to be effective against Pneumocystis carinii (tg) and Toxoplasma gondii culture of tumor cell lines [10,11,12], so they had antitumor, anticancer activity as well as antiproliferative properties [13,14]. Pyrimidine derivatives have been previously reported to be α-adrenoceptor platelet-aggregation inhibitors, antagonists, anti-hypertensive, cardio-vascular, anti-parkinsonism and antinociceptive [15,16,17,18], as well as agro chemical and veterin products [19,20].

2.4. Antimicrobial Activity

According to the modified Kirby-Bauer’s disk diffusion method, antimicrobial activities of novel synthesized compounds at different applied concentration, (1000, 5000, 10000 ppm) against four bacterial strains E. Coli, S. typhi, Bucillus subtilis and S. aureus and Aspergillus niger as fungal strains and also two strain of yeast Candida albicans and Sacchromyces were determined. By the tube dilution technique MIC values of the tested compounds were determined.
“Streptomycin and Erythromycin were used as standards and the solvents DMSO/DMF were used as negative controls, Average diameters (for triplicate sets) of the zones of inhibition (in mm) for test samples were calculated compared with that produced by the standard drugs”. Almost, all compounds tested were had to exhibit antimicrobial activities. Compounds 7 and 11 had higher significant against bacterial strains, fungal strains and yeast activities than standard drugs. However, compound 4b, 5a and 9b showed moderate inhibitions against bacterial strains. Compounds 4a, 5b and 9a showed in general weak inhibitions against bacterial strains, fungal strains and yeast. (Table 3). The results are summarized in a Table 3 with the average diameter of the inhibition zone in mm

3.2. Pharmacological screening

3.2.1. Animals

“Female albino mice 16 - 18 g and Sprague Dawley mice 100 g were obtained from the animal house of Taibah University (Madinah Munawara, KSA) in collaboration with King Saudi University (Riyadh, KSA). Experiments were approved by the Taibah University Animal Ethics Committee. Animals were maintained in accordance with accepted standards of animal care”.

3.2.2. Anti-inflammatory Activity

“Newly synthesized derivatives were dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a homogenate solution and administered intraperitonneally (IP). One hundred and eight rats were divided into eighteen groups, each group consisting of six animals. The anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds was studied in mice using carrageenan. A suspension of the tested compound and reference drug, indomethacin® in an aqueous solution was administered orally at a dose of 5 mg/kg. Control animals were treated with 0.5% CMC only. After 30 minutes, 0.1 mL of freshly prepared 1.0% carrageenan solution (formol saline) was injected into the sub-plantar region of the right paw [23]. Right paw volume was measured using a digital plethysmometer (Model 7150), directly before and after 1, 2, and 3 hrs., intervals after administration of the tested compounds”.

3.2.2.1. Ulcerogenic activity

“Seventy-two mice were divided into twelve groups. Ulcerative activity was evaluated after oral administration of the tested compounds or indomethacin at doses of 10, 50, and 100 mg/kg. Control mice received 0.5% CMC. Food but not water was removed 24 hrs., before administration of the tested compounds. After 6 hrs., the mice were sacrificed. The stomach was removed and opened along the greater curvature, washed with distilled water and gently cleaned by dipping into saline. Mucosal damage of each stomach was examined using a stereoscopic microscope and compared with the reference drug indomethacin according to the reported procedure” [24].

3.2.2.2. Acute Toxicity

“The median lethal doses (LD50) of the most active compounds 4b, 5a, 7, 9b and 11 were determined in mice [25]. Groups of male adult mice, each of six animals, were injected i.p. with graded doses of each of the test compounds. The percentage of mortality in each group of animals was determined 24 hrs., after injection. Computation of LD50 was processed by a graphical method”.

3.3. Analgesic activity

“Sixty mice of both sexes were divided into ten groups. One group served as a control (received formalin saline), the second as a vehicle (acacia gum), and the third as a reference drug (Valdecoxib®), while the other groups received the test compounds subcutaneously (S.C.). Mice were gently deposited into a 1 Liter dry glass beaker kept at 55 to 55.5 °C. Normal reaction times for all animals were measured in seconds at intervals of 30, 60, and 90 minutes. This is the time elapsed between the mouse reaching the hot beaker and the animal licking its feet or jumping out of the beaker (dosage 5mg/kg) [26]. The efficacy of Valdecoxib were also determined”.

3.4. Antimicrobial Screening

“Each of the tested compounds (0.5 g) was dissolved in 5 mL of dimethylformamide. A quantity of 0.1 mL of the test solution was placed on whatman paper disc of 9 mm diameter and the solvent was allowed to evaporate. These impregnated discs were carefully placed on the surface of the inoculated solid medium; each petri dish contains at least 3 discs. Petri dishes were incubated at 5 °C for an hour to allow good diffusion and then transferred to an 85 °C incubator overnight and then the results were examined and recorded by measuring the diameters of the inhibition zone” [27].

3.4.1. Microorganisms species

Bacteria:
a)
Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi.
b)
Gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Fungi: Aspergillus Niger.
  • Yeast: Candida albicans, Sacchromyces.

3.4.2. Medium

“The cap assay method was used containing (g/L): peptone 6.0, yeast extract 3.0, meat extract 1.5, glucose 1 and agar 20 were used. The medium was sterilized and divided while hot (50–60 °C) in 15 mL. Portions between sterile 9 cm diameter Petri dishes. One ml of Spore suspension of each microorganism was spread all over the surface of cold solid medium placed in a petri dish”.

3.5. Molecular docking study

“Based on the in vitro pharmacological results, we selected compound 7 the best antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory inhibitor in this study, as the docking model (PDB ID: 1HNJ, and 1PGF), respectively [28,29]. Computer-guided docking experiments were carried out using Molecular Operating Environment (MOE 2015.10) software, Chemical Computing Group, Montreal, Canada. Molecular docking studies was studied to get deeper insight into the molecular bases of the inhibitory potency and for the purpose of lead optimization and to pick up the interaction between compounds and Ryanodine receptor”.

3.5.1. Method

“The active ligands were prepared by hydrogens addition, partial charges calculation, and energy minimization using Force Field MMFF94x. Besides, the preparation of proteins was performed by omitting the repeating chains, water molecules, and surfactants. MOE Quick Prep functionality was used for correcting structural issues, 3D protonation, and calculation of partial charges. The default procedure in the MOE Dock protocol was utilized to detect the good binding poses of the studied ligands, using triangle matcher as placement method and London dG as the primary scoring function. An extra refinement step was set to rigid receptor method with GBVI/WSA dG scoring function to retain poses with the highest hydrophobic, ionic, and hydrogen-bond interactions with the protein. The output database comprised the scores of ligand enzyme complexes in kcal/mol. Then, the resulting docking poses were visually examined with BIOVIA Discovery Studio, and interactions with binding pocket residues were studied. Poses fitting into the binding pocket with the top scores and showing useful ligand enzyme contacts were selected”.

3.5.2. Validation of the docking accuracy for beta-Ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (FabH) receptor

“Validation of the docking accuracy was done by docking the co crystalized ligand Malonyl-Coenzyme A (MLC) into the binding site of E. coli FabH receptor. The docking ligand was overlying on the native co-crystalized ligand with RMSD 0.71 Å and binding free energy was (-13.96 kcal\mol)”. (Figure 5)

3.5.3. Validation of the docking accuracy for prostaglandin H2 synthase receptors

“Validation of the docking accuracy was done by docking the co crystalized ligand 1-(4-Iodobenzoyl)-5-Methoxy-2-Methyl Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Iodoindomethacin ligand) (IMM) into the binding site prostaglandin H2 synthase cyclooxygenase. the docking ligand was overlying on the native co-crystalized ligand with RMSD 0.97A⁰ and binding free energy was (-12.53 kcal\mol)”. (Figure 6)

Statistical analysis

“Assay results are shown as mean ± SE. Statistical analyses were carried out with Sigma Plot software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post test was used to assess the presence of significant differences. Differences were considered statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05”.

4. Conclusion

In the present work, a novel series of pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives (4a11) were synthesized from starting material 3. The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities of some of synthesized compounds were studied. All tested compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory compared to Indomethacin as standard drug. Also, all tested compounds exhibited analgesic activity compared to Valdecoxib as standard drug. Analysis of antimicrobial data suggested that all tested compounds significant against bacterial strains, fungal strains and yeast activities compared to Streptomycin and Erythromycin as standard drugs. Also, molecular docking study were illustrated.
