Affiliations
This study contains synthesis, antimicrobial activity, density functional modelling and molecular docking studies of benzoxazole derivative: 2-(p-chloro-benzyl)-5-[3-(4-ethly-1-piperazynl) propionamido]-benzoxazole. The synthetic procedure of investigated compound is given in detail. The newly synthesized benzoxazole compound and standard drugs were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against some Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungus and their drug-resistant isolates. The benzoxazole compound has been characterized by using H-NMR, IR and MASS spectrometry and elemental analysis techniques. The molecular structure of the compound in the ground state has been modelling using density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311++g(d,p) level. The molecular docking of 2-(p-chloro-benzyl)-5-[3-(4-ethly-1-piperazynl) propionamido]-benzoxazole with COVID-19 main protease has been also performed by using optimized geometry and the experimentally determined dimensional structure of the main protease (M-pro) of COVID-19.
