Recently, World Health Organization (WHO) has advised against the strategic therapy by adding a new drug into a failing antitubercular drug regimen that increases the drug resistant behavior of the strain.

1 Introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) tuberculosis report2015 stated that an annual total of new tuberculosis (TB)cases which had been about 57 million until 2013 rose tomore than 6 million in 2014 (an increase of 6) Unfor-tunately extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) cases hadbeen reported by 105 countries in the year 2015 and amongthem 97 of patients with multidrug resistant-TB (MDR-TB) have recorded positive for XDR-TB [1] These reportsindicated that the prevalence of the disease is the worstand is due to the emergence of multidrug resistant strainsof Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv [2 3] Thus theseresistant states of tuberculosis (MDR-TB and XDR-TB) haveincreased the concern about tuberculosis as an incurabledisease and as a threat to public health [4 5] Recently WorldHealthOrganization (WHO) has advised against the strategictherapy by adding a new drug into a failing antituberculardrug regimen that increases the drug resistant behavior ofthe strain It indicated that the present treatment is extremely

complicated and needs new drug with novel mechanismexclusively to fight againstmultidrug resistant strains To addthe immune compromised patients with the longer durationsof therapy also emphasize the need for new antitubercularmolecule with novel mode of action [6ndash8]

bases keto and amido are reported to possess potent antimi-crobial property Among them spiro [15] 14-dioxide [16]and schiff base [17] of quinoxaline are proven to be the mostsuitable antibacterial and antitubercular leads Nonethelessthe reliability of above agents for new drug design is notoptimistic because of their structural toxicity contributed byhigh lipophilicity and resistance to metabolism

With reference to the biological safety profile of sugarconjugates derived fromnatural and synthetic agents [18ndash20]and in continuation with our earlier studies on quinoxaline[21ndash25] herein we report some saccharide (sugar) linkedquinoxaline In this work the hydrazino intermediate waspreferred to achieve sugar conjugates in order to mimicthe structural resemblance to nucleosides and other activehydrazide drugs In synthetic part quinoxaline 23 (1H4H)-diones (1) was used to prepare hydrazino quinoxa-line as an intermediate (2) then the intermediate (2) wassubsequently condensed with different sugars (aldohexosesaldopentoses and disaccharides) to afforded sugar conjugatesof quinoxaline (3andashf) Compounds were purified by columnchromatography and the purity was confirmed using TLCand HPLC technique The structure establishment was doneby IR 1HNMR and 13C NMR and mass spectral data Allsynthons including starting compounds were screened fortheir antitubercular (Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv) andantibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli Proteusvulgaris Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Salmonella typhi)activities Results were obtained as minimum inhibitoryconcentration (MIC) in micro molar units (120583M) As anattempt to predict the mode of action of these compoundsa prototype compound was evaluated on DNA gyrase by insilico docking analysis

2 Results and Discussion

21 Chemistry The synthetic route for sugar conjugateswas designed in two step reactions (Figure 1) The start-ing material quinoxaline 23(1H 4H)-dione 1 was obtainedas yellowish crystals from an acid catalyzed condensationreaction between ortho phenylenediamine and oxalic acidChemical reactions of synthetic scheme were performedbased on conventional heating method Reaction progresswas monitored on silica gel coated TLC plate The temper-ature of the reaction for converting compound 2 to 3andashf wascontrolled because of thermolabile nature of sugars that arevulnerable for charring at higher temperature Compounds

were found to be stable crystals except compound 2 The yield was more than 60 except for disaccharide derivatives(3c and 3d) All monosaccharide derivatives were yellowishcrystals whilst disaccharides derivatives appeared as creamywhite In TLC the retardation factors (119877

119891value) for sugar

conjugates (3andashf) were lower than compounds 1 and 2 thusindicating the more polar nature of sugar conjugates Thecalculated log119875 and C log119875 values of sugar conjugates arein good agreement with our prediction that they are morehydrophilic than parent compound (1) The melting pointof the synthesized compounds was more than 200∘C thiscould be due to the high degree of hydrogen bonding offeredby ndashOH residues of sugar moiety The physical data of thesynthesized compounds are shown in Table 1 Structure of thesynthesized compounds was established by UV IR 1HNMR13CNMR and mass spectral data Assignment of proton andcarbon to the structure was performed based on the reportby Bailey and Butterfield [26]The bathochromic shift of 120582maxfor compound 3andashf indicated the formation conjugated C=Nbond The conversion of quinoxaline-23(1H 4H)-diones 1to intermediate 2 was established by spectral characteristicssuch as (a) disappearance of coupled vibration of C=O (b)appearance of coupled band for NH

2 (c) the appearance

of 13C NMR signal for C=N and (d) 1H NMR for ndashNH2

The conjugate formation with sugar was established by (a)1H NMR signal at 423 and 497 ppm for anomeric CHndash ofsugar (b) 13C NMR signals within 100ndash60 ppm for sugarstructure residue and (c) the presence of broad absorptionband for ndashOH group in IR spectrum (3400ndash3600 cmminus1)The detailed spectral characteristics of the compounds areshown in Table 2 A prototype 1H NMR spectrum of glucoseconjugate is shown in Figure 2

22 Antibacterial and Antitubercular Activities Compounds(1 to 3andashf) were screened for their in vitro antibacterial andantitubercular activities using microdilution assay methodand microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) method respec-tively The obtained results were presented in Table 3 Theconcentration range used for screening was from 004 to96 120583gmL and then the obtained MIC (in 120583gmL) was con-verted to micromolar (120583M) concentration Result revealedthat compound 3e (ribose conjugate) exhibited promisingantibacterial and antitubercular activities with respectiveMIC of 207 and 065 120583M Compound 3f (xylose conjugate)was also equally effective against S aureus and E coli but notagainst other pathogens of this study Antibacterial activity

of compound 3a (glucose conjugate) was quite considerable(MIC 142 120583M) but it was equipotent to compound2 Amongaldohexoses compound 3a (glucose) was moderately activeagainst M tuberculosis (MIC 71120583M) than compounds 1and 2 It was noted that there was no true compound thatwas active against Salmonella typhi except compound 3e(MIC 78 120583M) It was evident that conjugates of pentoses(compounds 3e and 3f) showed promising antibacterialactivity against Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgarisand are quite comparable to ciprofloxacin The intermediate(compound 2) showed MIC of 36 120583M against E coli assimilar to conjugates of pentoses (3e and 3f) thus the potencyof compound 2 is in good agreement with our earlier studies

The screening for antitubercular activity revealed thatall sugar conjugates exhibited better activity as comparedto parent compound 1 and intermediate compounds 2thus clubbing of sugar to quinoxaline could be a benefi-cial approach in design of antitubercular agents Amongthem conjugates monosaccharide showed better activity ascompared to the hydrazine derivative 2 and disaccharides(3c and 3d) The most promising antibacterial activity wasshown by ribose conjugate 3e (MIC 065 120583M) followedby xylose 3f glucose 3a and mannose 3b conjugates withrespective MIC values of 39 71 and 71 120583M Overall itwas noticed that disaccharides linkage has low value indesign of antibacterial and antitubercular leads as comparedto monosaccharides Among monosaccharides aldopentose

derivatives are more potent as compared to aldohexoses Thestructures of active compounds are shown in Figure 3 Theeffect of stereoisomerism of sugar in this study was quitesignificant and this can be supported by the comparisonbetween ribose derivative (3e) and xylose derivative (3f) Itwas noted that ribose derivative is 7 times more potent thanxylose derivative However both compounds 3a and 3b areequipotent in antitubercular activity but differ in antibacterialactivity

In view to antibacterial screening results Salmonellaspecies was resistant to all compounds except compounds3e and 3f which indicated the importance of aldopentosein design of antibacterial leads against Salmonella speciesAntitubercular activity of all conjugates (log119875 gt minus1) is betterthan compounds 1 and 2 (log119875 lt 1) which indicated theimportance of log119875 parameter in defining the activity Theantitubercular activity of disaccharide conjugates 3c and 3d(maltose and lactose conjugates) is relatively very low (15times less than ribose) and the possible reason could bethat they are high molecular weight compounds with morehydrophilic (log119875more thanminus30) natureThus disaccharidelinked conjugates are likely to exhibit less permeability to cellwall thereby it leads to inadequate cellular concentrationAldopentose accounts for their better penetration into the cellwall ofMycobacterium species conjugates (3e and 3f) becauseof their low molecular weight and optimal hydrophilicity(log119875 gt minus1 and lt minus2) In addition stereoisomer effect alsoplays important role in their relative potency

23 In Silico Docking Analysis TheDNAgyrase is an enzymeresponsible for the topological state of DNA and playingimportant role in transcription process It is the target for fewantibiotics such as many antibiotics including nalidixic acidnovobiocin and ciprofloxacin Particularly fluoroquinolonesact as an antibacterial through DNA cleavage by inhibitingATPase activity of DNA gyrase As Adenosine itself containsa nucleotide and a sugarmoiety we predicted that the synthe-sized molecules (3andashf) may inhibit the ATPase binding siteof DNA gyrase Further to elucidate the probable mechanismof action of our designed compounds we have initially donethe molecular docking studies of our designed molecule (3a)with DNA gyrase B subunit using PDB ID 4HYP Resultsshown that the structure of compound 3a tightly bounds tothe ATP binding site (Figure 4) and showed binding energy

Figure 1 Schematic route for synthesis of sugar conjugates of quinoxaline

bases keto and amido are reported to possess potent antimi-crobial property Among them spiro [15] 14-dioxide [16]and schiff base [17] of quinoxaline are proven to be the mostsuitable antibacterial and antitubercular leads Nonethelessthe reliability of above agents for new drug design is notoptimistic because of their structural toxicity contributed byhigh lipophilicity and resistance to metabolism

With reference to the biological safety profile of sugarconjugates derived fromnatural and synthetic agents [18ndash20]and in continuation with our earlier studies on quinoxaline[21ndash25] herein we report some saccharide (sugar) linkedquinoxaline In this work the hydrazino intermediate waspreferred to achieve sugar conjugates in order to mimicthe structural resemblance to nucleosides and other activehydrazide drugs In synthetic part quinoxaline 23 (1H4H)-diones (1) was used to prepare hydrazino quinoxa-line as an intermediate (2) then the intermediate (2) wassubsequently condensed with different sugars (aldohexosesaldopentoses and disaccharides) to afforded sugar conjugatesof quinoxaline (3andashf) Compounds were purified by columnchromatography and the purity was confirmed using TLCand HPLC technique The structure establishment was doneby IR 1HNMR and 13C NMR and mass spectral data Allsynthons including starting compounds were screened fortheir antitubercular (Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv) andantibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli Proteusvulgaris Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Salmonella typhi)activities Results were obtained as minimum inhibitoryconcentration (MIC) in micro molar units (120583M) As anattempt to predict the mode of action of these compoundsa prototype compound was evaluated on DNA gyrase by insilico docking analysis

2 Results and Discussion

21 Chemistry The synthetic route for sugar conjugateswas designed in two step reactions (Figure 1) The start-ing material quinoxaline 23(1H 4H)-dione 1 was obtainedas yellowish crystals from an acid catalyzed condensationreaction between ortho phenylenediamine and oxalic acidChemical reactions of synthetic scheme were performedbased on conventional heating method Reaction progresswas monitored on silica gel coated TLC plate The temper-ature of the reaction for converting compound 2 to 3andashf wascontrolled because of thermolabile nature of sugars that arevulnerable for charring at higher temperature Compounds

were found to be stable crystals except compound 2 The yield was more than 60 except for disaccharide derivatives(3c and 3d) All monosaccharide derivatives were yellowishcrystals whilst disaccharides derivatives appeared as creamywhite In TLC the retardation factors (119877

119891value) for sugar

conjugates (3andashf) were lower than compounds 1 and 2 thusindicating the more polar nature of sugar conjugates Thecalculated log119875 and C log119875 values of sugar conjugates arein good agreement with our prediction that they are morehydrophilic than parent compound (1) The melting pointof the synthesized compounds was more than 200∘C thiscould be due to the high degree of hydrogen bonding offeredby ndashOH residues of sugar moiety The physical data of thesynthesized compounds are shown in Table 1 Structure of thesynthesized compounds was established by UV IR 1HNMR13CNMR and mass spectral data Assignment of proton andcarbon to the structure was performed based on the reportby Bailey and Butterfield [26]The bathochromic shift of 120582maxfor compound 3andashf indicated the formation conjugated C=Nbond The conversion of quinoxaline-23(1H 4H)-diones 1to intermediate 2 was established by spectral characteristicssuch as (a) disappearance of coupled vibration of C=O (b)appearance of coupled band for NH

2 (c) the appearance

of 13C NMR signal for C=N and (d) 1H NMR for ndashNH2

The conjugate formation with sugar was established by (a)1H NMR signal at 423 and 497 ppm for anomeric CHndash ofsugar (b) 13C NMR signals within 100ndash60 ppm for sugarstructure residue and (c) the presence of broad absorptionband for ndashOH group in IR spectrum (3400ndash3600 cmminus1)The detailed spectral characteristics of the compounds areshown in Table 2 A prototype 1H NMR spectrum of glucoseconjugate is shown in Figure 2

22 Antibacterial and Antitubercular Activities Compounds(1 to 3andashf) were screened for their in vitro antibacterial andantitubercular activities using microdilution assay methodand microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) method respec-tively The obtained results were presented in Table 3 Theconcentration range used for screening was from 004 to96 120583gmL and then the obtained MIC (in 120583gmL) was con-verted to micromolar (120583M) concentration Result revealedthat compound 3e (ribose conjugate) exhibited promisingantibacterial and antitubercular activities with respectiveMIC of 207 and 065 120583M Compound 3f (xylose conjugate)was also equally effective against S aureus and E coli but notagainst other pathogens of this study Antibacterial activity

of compound 3a (glucose conjugate) was quite considerable(MIC 142 120583M) but it was equipotent to compound2 Amongaldohexoses compound 3a (glucose) was moderately activeagainst M tuberculosis (MIC 71120583M) than compounds 1and 2 It was noted that there was no true compound thatwas active against Salmonella typhi except compound 3e(MIC 78 120583M) It was evident that conjugates of pentoses(compounds 3e and 3f) showed promising antibacterialactivity against Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgarisand are quite comparable to ciprofloxacin The intermediate(compound 2) showed MIC of 36 120583M against E coli assimilar to conjugates of pentoses (3e and 3f) thus the potencyof compound 2 is in good agreement with our earlier studies

The screening for antitubercular activity revealed thatall sugar conjugates exhibited better activity as comparedto parent compound 1 and intermediate compounds 2thus clubbing of sugar to quinoxaline could be a benefi-cial approach in design of antitubercular agents Amongthem conjugates monosaccharide showed better activity ascompared to the hydrazine derivative 2 and disaccharides(3c and 3d) The most promising antibacterial activity wasshown by ribose conjugate 3e (MIC 065 120583M) followedby xylose 3f glucose 3a and mannose 3b conjugates withrespective MIC values of 39 71 and 71 120583M Overall itwas noticed that disaccharides linkage has low value indesign of antibacterial and antitubercular leads as comparedto monosaccharides Among monosaccharides aldopentose

derivatives are more potent as compared to aldohexoses Thestructures of active compounds are shown in Figure 3 Theeffect of stereoisomerism of sugar in this study was quitesignificant and this can be supported by the comparisonbetween ribose derivative (3e) and xylose derivative (3f) Itwas noted that ribose derivative is 7 times more potent thanxylose derivative However both compounds 3a and 3b areequipotent in antitubercular activity but differ in antibacterialactivity

In view to antibacterial screening results Salmonellaspecies was resistant to all compounds except compounds3e and 3f which indicated the importance of aldopentosein design of antibacterial leads against Salmonella speciesAntitubercular activity of all conjugates (log119875 gt minus1) is betterthan compounds 1 and 2 (log119875 lt 1) which indicated theimportance of log119875 parameter in defining the activity Theantitubercular activity of disaccharide conjugates 3c and 3d(maltose and lactose conjugates) is relatively very low (15times less than ribose) and the possible reason could bethat they are high molecular weight compounds with morehydrophilic (log119875more thanminus30) natureThus disaccharidelinked conjugates are likely to exhibit less permeability to cellwall thereby it leads to inadequate cellular concentrationAldopentose accounts for their better penetration into the cellwall ofMycobacterium species conjugates (3e and 3f) becauseof their low molecular weight and optimal hydrophilicity(log119875 gt minus1 and lt minus2) In addition stereoisomer effect alsoplays important role in their relative potency

23 In Silico Docking Analysis TheDNAgyrase is an enzymeresponsible for the topological state of DNA and playingimportant role in transcription process It is the target for fewantibiotics such as many antibiotics including nalidixic acidnovobiocin and ciprofloxacin Particularly fluoroquinolonesact as an antibacterial through DNA cleavage by inhibitingATPase activity of DNA gyrase As Adenosine itself containsa nucleotide and a sugarmoiety we predicted that the synthe-sized molecules (3andashf) may inhibit the ATPase binding siteof DNA gyrase Further to elucidate the probable mechanismof action of our designed compounds we have initially donethe molecular docking studies of our designed molecule (3a)with DNA gyrase B subunit using PDB ID 4HYP Resultsshown that the structure of compound 3a tightly bounds tothe ATP binding site (Figure 4) and showed binding energy

of compound 3a (glucose conjugate) was quite considerable(MIC 142 120583M) but it was equipotent to compound2 Amongaldohexoses compound 3a (glucose) was moderately activeagainst M tuberculosis (MIC 71120583M) than compounds 1and 2 It was noted that there was no true compound thatwas active against Salmonella typhi except compound 3e(MIC 78 120583M) It was evident that conjugates of pentoses(compounds 3e and 3f) showed promising antibacterialactivity against Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgarisand are quite comparable to ciprofloxacin The intermediate(compound 2) showed MIC of 36 120583M against E coli assimilar to conjugates of pentoses (3e and 3f) thus the potencyof compound 2 is in good agreement with our earlier studies

The screening for antitubercular activity revealed thatall sugar conjugates exhibited better activity as comparedto parent compound 1 and intermediate compounds 2thus clubbing of sugar to quinoxaline could be a benefi-cial approach in design of antitubercular agents Amongthem conjugates monosaccharide showed better activity ascompared to the hydrazine derivative 2 and disaccharides(3c and 3d) The most promising antibacterial activity wasshown by ribose conjugate 3e (MIC 065 120583M) followedby xylose 3f glucose 3a and mannose 3b conjugates withrespective MIC values of 39 71 and 71 120583M Overall itwas noticed that disaccharides linkage has low value indesign of antibacterial and antitubercular leads as comparedto monosaccharides Among monosaccharides aldopentose

derivatives are more potent as compared to aldohexoses Thestructures of active compounds are shown in Figure 3 Theeffect of stereoisomerism of sugar in this study was quitesignificant and this can be supported by the comparisonbetween ribose derivative (3e) and xylose derivative (3f) Itwas noted that ribose derivative is 7 times more potent thanxylose derivative However both compounds 3a and 3b areequipotent in antitubercular activity but differ in antibacterialactivity

In view to antibacterial screening results Salmonellaspecies was resistant to all compounds except compounds3e and 3f which indicated the importance of aldopentosein design of antibacterial leads against Salmonella speciesAntitubercular activity of all conjugates (log119875 gt minus1) is betterthan compounds 1 and 2 (log119875 lt 1) which indicated theimportance of log119875 parameter in defining the activity Theantitubercular activity of disaccharide conjugates 3c and 3d(maltose and lactose conjugates) is relatively very low (15times less than ribose) and the possible reason could bethat they are high molecular weight compounds with morehydrophilic (log119875more thanminus30) natureThus disaccharidelinked conjugates are likely to exhibit less permeability to cellwall thereby it leads to inadequate cellular concentrationAldopentose accounts for their better penetration into the cellwall ofMycobacterium species conjugates (3e and 3f) becauseof their low molecular weight and optimal hydrophilicity(log119875 gt minus1 and lt minus2) In addition stereoisomer effect alsoplays important role in their relative potency

23 In Silico Docking Analysis TheDNAgyrase is an enzymeresponsible for the topological state of DNA and playingimportant role in transcription process It is the target for fewantibiotics such as many antibiotics including nalidixic acidnovobiocin and ciprofloxacin Particularly fluoroquinolonesact as an antibacterial through DNA cleavage by inhibitingATPase activity of DNA gyrase As Adenosine itself containsa nucleotide and a sugarmoiety we predicted that the synthe-sized molecules (3andashf) may inhibit the ATPase binding siteof DNA gyrase Further to elucidate the probable mechanismof action of our designed compounds we have initially donethe molecular docking studies of our designed molecule (3a)with DNA gyrase B subunit using PDB ID 4HYP Resultsshown that the structure of compound 3a tightly bounds tothe ATP binding site (Figure 4) and showed binding energy
