摘要

Malaria remains a major global health challenge, affecting millions worldwide. This study reports the synthesis of two hydrazones (1–2), derived from 5-bromovanillin and different hydrazides, along with their transition metal complexes (3–10), aimed at evaluating their therapeutic potential. The compounds underwent characterization through both spectral and physical analyses, revealing the hexacoordinated stereochemistry of metal chelates. Biological evaluations included antimicrobial, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory assays using serial dilution, micro-assay, and BSA methods, respectively. The pharmacological assessments highlighted that metal chelates unveiled enhanced therapeutic efficacy in contrary to their ligands. Notably, compounds H2L2 (2) and its complexes (9), (10) emerged as most effective malarial agents with IC50 value 0.58 ± 0.013, 0.64 ± 0.024 µM against P. falciparum. Additionally, the compounds displayed varying degrees of antimicrobial activity, with complexes (5), (9), and (10) exhibiting the strongest efficacy against S. aureus and E. coli, showing MIC values between 0.0075 and 0.0081 µmol/mL. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory evaluation revealed that chelates (9) and (10) exhibited superior activity, with IC50 values of 7.12 ± 0.053 and 7.62 ± 0.062 µM, respectively. Additionally, molecular docking studies against target protein (PDB ID: 1U5A) supported strong binding affinities of H2L2 (2) and its complexes (9–10). Moreover, ADMET study offered compounds’ drug-like properties.
