Abstract

Novel Ru(II) complexes of Shiff base derivatives of 3-[(4-amino-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazole-3-yl)methyl]-2(3H)benzoxazolone were synthesized. The ligands (1a-e) were confirmed by IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectra (only 1b and 1c). Structures of the synthesized Ru(II) complexes (2a-e) were illuminated by elemental analysis, IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and mass spectra. As the biological studies, the inhibitory potency of the ligands and the novel synthesized complexes were evaluated against the glutathione S-transferase (GST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes in vitro conditions. Ki values in the range of 26.87-47.63 mu M for AChE, 23.51-42.81 mu M for BChE, and 33.14-51.73 mu M for GST, respectively. The free binding energy of most active inhibitors against AChE, BChE, and GST enzymes were detected as-10.183 kcal/mol, -9.111 kcal/mol, and -6.097 kcal/mol, respectively. All compounds docked were observed to bind in the active site of the enzymes with similar binding orientation and binding interactions with the surrounding amino acids.
