A series of twenty-five novel 4-(3-(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)-quinoxalin-2-yl)-naphthalen-1-ol analogues were synthesized, characterized and screened for in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. These compounds exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration in the range of 1.56-50 μg/mL. Among these derivatives, compounds 5a, 5b, 5f, 5m, 5p, and 5r displayed moderate activity (MIC 6.25 μg/mL). Compounds 5c, 5d, 5g, 5l, and 5o showed significant antitubercular activity (MIC 3.125 μg/mL), while compounds 5h, 5n, and 5q exhibited potent antitubercular activity (MIC 1.56 μg/mL). In addition, MTT assay was performed on the active analogues of the series against mouse macrophage cells to assess the cytotoxic effect of the newly synthesized compounds, and a selectivity index of the compounds was established. Selectivity index values of the most active compounds (5h, 5n, and 5q) are >47, indicating the compounds' suitability for further potential drug development. A molecular docking study was performed to understand the putative binding mode and binding strength of the selected significantly active and weakly active compounds with the target enzyme mycobacterial topoisomerase II using moxifloxacin as standard. In-silico ADME prediction and bioavailability studies of the titled compounds obey Lipinski's rule of five and Jorgensen's rule of three. To further ascertain the structure of the compounds, a suitable single crystal for the compounds 5a, 6, and 7d was developed and studied.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D000995 Antitubercular Agents Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.
