摘要

We synthesized a series of dibutyl (2,2-dicyano-1-phenylethyl) phosphonates using a solvent-free, one-pot reaction catalysed by L-carnitine hydroxide. This green method yielded products in 75–97% yield. Density functional theory analysis showed that these compounds have favourable HOMO–LUMO gaps and enhanced charge transfer, suggesting good nonlinear optical properties. Molecular docking indicated strong binding to key bacterial proteins. In vitro tests confirmed strong antioxidant activity (DPPH IC50: 21.1–49.8 µg/mL; NO IC50: 21.2–31.1 µg/mL) and effective antibacterial action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (inhibition zones: 2.0–3.8 mm). The compounds also inhibited cancer cell growth in five human cell lines (IC50: 3.5–5.9 µM), with higher selectivity than doxorubicin over non-cancerous cells. ADMET analysis predicted good absorption, low toxicity and drug-likeness. Electron-withdrawing groups improved both biological and electronic properties. These phosphonates are promising candidates for new therapeutic development.
