In step-1, mannich bases are synthesized using aldehyde, ketones and amines with ali- Thiosemicarbazide phatic, aromatic, cyclic and heterocyclic nature. In step-2, the synthesized bases were condensed with thiosemicarbazide to form mannich bases of thiosemicarbazide. Structural characterization of synthesized compounds was done using IR, mass and H-NMR spectroscopy. The compounds were screened for anti-fungal activity using BHI (brain heart infusion) broth dilution method against Candida albicans and Apergillus niger. Docking of synthesized compounds was done on CYP51A1, P45014DM (Lanosterol 14 a-demethylase enzyme) using Vlife MDS 3.5 to conform the mechanism of antifungal activity. Docking study showed a strong hydrophobic interaction between amino acid residues Arganine (ARG141), Glutamine (GLU146), Leucine (LEU54), Lycine (LYC227), and Threonine (THR147) with the carbon of ketone, nitrogen of amine and sulfur of thiosemicarbazide. Strong Vander wall’s interactions are also observed with the carbon of ketone, nitrogen of amine and sulfur of thiosemicarbazide. Analogs with aromatic and substituted aromatic aldehydes showed least activity, while analogs with aliphatic aldehyde, ketones and amines showed greater activity in C. albicans compared to A. niger. Analogs having morpholine as amine showed comparable activity in both. Compounds K17, K18, K19, and K20 have shown comparable highest activities. Crown Copyright ª 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Step 1 The mannich base is an end product in the mannich reaction, which is nucleophilic addition reaction of a non-enol- izable aldehyde and any primary or secondary amine to produce resonance stabilized imine (iminium ion or imine salt).

In step-2, synthesized mannich bases were con- densed with thiosemicarbazide to form mannich bases of S Step 2 thiosemicarbazide (Van de Kamp and Mosettig, 1936; March, H2N 1977; Waring, 1979; Mannich and Krosche, 1912; Thompson, NH NH2 1968). Thiosemicarbazide Computational methodologies have become a crucial component of many drug discovery programs, from hit identi- R2 fication to lead optimization. One key methodology is docking RN of small molecules to protein binding sites, pioneered during S R3 the early 1980s. The docking process involves the prediction N R1 of ligand conformation and orientation (or posing) within a H2N NH targeted binding site.
