Abstract
The recent study represented, the computational analysis, synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and molecular docking assessment of three compounds with some important heterocyclic nucleus such as pyrimidine oxazole and pyrazole. The structures of the compounds were drawn by Chem Draw Ultra 8.0 and the drug-likeness properties were calculated by molinspiration, the results exhibited that all the compounds were bioactive. The bioactive compounds were then synthesized, characterized and screened for antimicrobial effect and the results, were compared, with ciprofloxacin. The results revealed that the compounds (1–3) exhibited significant antibacterial potential and strongly recommended the computational results. MTT assay was also performed to assess the percent viability of the cells (HepG2), and the findings revealed that the compounds were less toxic in nature and possess the percent viability 95–98% at 3.125 µM. Furthermore, the molecular docking was performed using the protein Glc-N-6-P synthase to find out the binding affinity and the H-bonding and the findings exhibited that compound-3 possessed the H-bonding with seven amino acid residues of the protein with the binding affinity in the range − 7.6 to − 6.6 kcal/mol.

1 Introduction
The infections caused by the small pathogenic microbes could lead to the disease even a fetal one [1]. On the other hand spontaneous enhancement in the antimicrobial drug resistance to the available chemotherapeutic agents created so many problems in the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococci aureus (MRSA), penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP) and vanco-mycin-resistant Enterrococci (VRE) [2]. Therefore, there is a continuous demand for the preparation of some new antibacterial agents for the treatment of these infections [3]. Heterocyclic compounds have been aimed a lot in the discovery of a variety of chemotherapeutic agents [4,5,6,7,8]. Piperonal moiety has been studied a lot due to its versatile biological applications like Antibacterial anti-cancer, anti-convulsant, anti-amoebic, anti-proliferative, antiviral, anti-tumor, anti-plasmodial, the COX-2 inhibitor [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. Pyrimidine and its derivatives have been broadly studied by the researchers and reported to possess versatile biological potential such as antimicrobial, analgesic, antihistaminic, anti-bacterial, anti-protozoal, anti-tubercular, etc. [17,18,19]. The researchers targeted a lot on the therapeutic effects of pyrazole derivatives such as [20, 21]. On the other hand oxazole and its derivatives have been reported to possess numerous biological potential like anti-tubercular, antifungal, anti-HCV, agents, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, antitumor, anti-hyperglycemic or anti-diabetic, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. Recently El Shehryet al. [32] reported the synthesis and biological assessment of some quinoline derivatives containing pyrazole nucleus, another study aiming the antimicrobial therapeutic properties of the derivatives with nucleus (pyrazoles, isoxazoles, pyrimidine) were also reported by Padmaja et al. [33]. Some other studies targeting the biological potential and molecular docking assessment were also reported [34, 35]. The individual therapeutic effects of these nuclei (Piperonal, pyrazole, isoxazole, and Pyrimidine) prompted us to design and prepare some bioactive pyrimidine, pyrazole and oxazole derivatives bearing piperonal moiety and subjecting them for antimicrobial therapeutic potential as wells as molecular docking assessment.
2 Results and discussion
The structure of the target compounds (1–3) were drawn by the ChemDraw Ultra 8.0 software for the generation of the smiles. The smiles were then used for the calculation of bioactivity score and physicochemical analysis by Molinspiration, the calculated data is reported in Fig. 1. The bioactive compounds (1-3) were then synthesized by the schematic procedure mentioned in Fig. 2. The step-1, of the synthetic procedure included the condensation reaction in between the 1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde and 4-acetylbenzenesulfonamide to yield of 4-[(2E)-3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)prop-2-enoyl]benzenesulfonamide (A). The step-2 is different for the synthesis of compounds 4-[2-amino-6-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl]benzenesulfonamide [1], 4-[3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1,2-oxazol-5-yl]benzenesulfonamide [2] and -[5-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-4H-pyrazol-3-yl]benzenesulfonamide [3]. The compounds-1 undergoes the reaction (A) and guanidine hydrochloride in isopropanol under reflux condition. Compound-A reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in ethanol under reflux, to yield compound-2. The compound-3 is synthesized through the reaction between hydrazine hydrate and compound-A, in ethanol under reflux condition. The compounds (1–3), were then characterized for the structural confirmation by many spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectroscopy) and elemental analysis. The FTIR spectra for compound-1 exhibited the signal at 1063, 1617, 3335, 3354 cm−1 due to the presence of C–N, C=N, NH2, SO2–NH2 functional groups and the absence of signal around 1700 cm−1 due to C=O functional group confirmed the structure of the compound-1. The disappearance of the signal around 1700 cm−1 due to the C=O functional group and the appearance of signals in the range 1619–1621, 2971–2977 and 3347–3358 cm−1 due to the presence of C=N, CH-Ar, SO2–NH2 functional groups confirmed the formation of compound-2 and compound-3. Further structural confirmation was carried out by the 1H-NMR spectra for compounds (1), the characteristic singlet at 5.971 ppm due to O–CH2–O protons, 8.114 ppm due to NH2 protons and 8.393 ppm due to SO2–NH2 protons. The H-NMR spectra of the compounds 2–3 exhibited the singlet around 5.908–8.310 ppm and 8.310–8.408 due to the O–CH2–O and SO2–NH2 protons respectively. The spectra of compound-3 also exhibited the double doublets around 3.19–3.26, 4.07–4.15 and 6.10–6.17 ppm due to the presence of HA, HB, HX protons of the pyrazoline nucleus. The experimental section possessed the detailed spectroscopic data of the compounds (1–3). The screening of compounds as antimicrobial agents) was assessed by the method of disc diffusion, using the gram-positive and negative pathogens in as per the formation of inhibition zone and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The respective zone of inhibition and MIC of the compounds (1–3) and reference drug Ciprofloxacin is represented in the Table 1 and the %Area of inhibition/µg is reported in Fig. 3. The results for antimicrobial screening portrayed that compound-1 possessed very strong similarity with the reference the drug, Compound-2 exhibited very significant antimicrobial effect against all microorganisms, while the compound-3 was found to possess better the antimicrobial effect in comparison to the reference drug. To understand the cyto-toxicity status of the synthesized compounds the MTT assay was performed against HepG2 cells. The synthesized compounds were treated HepG2 cells with the different concentrations (3.125, 6.25. 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 µM) and observed that the viability of the cells were inversely proportional to the concentration (Fig. 4). According to the protocol only the viable cells will be able to produce the formazan crystal due to the presence of mitochondrial enzymes so the formation of the colored complex will be equal to the number of viable cells. To support the experimental results and for better understanding of the antimicrobial potential molecular docking assessment was performed for all the synthesized compounds (1–3) and the Ciprofloxacin. The results exhibited that a variety of the residues of GlcN-6-P-synthase were observed of forming the Hydrogen bond with the Compound-1 (SER 316, TYR 576, ASP 548), Compound-2 (LYS 487 and LEU 480), Compound-3 (CYS 300, SER 347, SER 401 VAL399, ILE 397, GLN 348 and THR 352) and Ciprofloxacin (THR 352, THR 302, SER 401 and LYS 485). Overall the docking assessment strongly recommended the experimental results and revealed that compound-3 represented too much better H-bonding than the Ciprofloxacin and the similar H-bonding is observed with only SER residues (Compound-1, 3 & Ciprofloxacin) and SER & THR residues (Compound-3 & Ciprofloxacin), Fig. 5. The binding affinity of the compound-1, 2, 3 and the ciprofloxacin was observed respectively in the range − 7.5 to − 7.0 kcal/mol, (− 7.0 to − 6.5 kcal/mol), (− 7.6 to − 6.6 kcal/mol) and (− 7.1 to 6.2 kcal/mol) Table 2.
