摘要

A new Schiff base, “ethyl 4-((4-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)benzoate” (EHAB) has been synthesized by condensing ethyl-4-aminobenzoate with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde using ethanol. The synthesized Schiff base was characterized using various analytical techniques, including elemental (C, H, and N) analysis, UV–Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, multinuclear (1H and 13C) NMR, and TGA/DSC measurements. The Schiff base was further investigated for its DNA-binding affinity. The results indicate that the entitled compound has a moderate binding constant value and binds through an intercalation mode. Computational studies were performed using density functional theory at the B3LYP//def2-TZVP level to investigate structural properties, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps, and infrared and UV-Visible absorption properties. Additionally, the binding of the Schiff base with DNA was evaluated through molecular docking studies, which yielded a binding score of – 6.68 kcal/mol.
