Efficient synthesis of 2,3-diarylbenzo[b]thiophene molecules through palladium (0) Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and their antithrombolyitc, biofilm inhibition, hemolytic potential and molecular docking studies

A series of 2,3-diaryldibenzo[b]thiophene derivatives have been synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions in moderate to good yields (59–79%). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antithrombolytic, biofilm inhibition, and hemolytic potential. All compounds showed significant biological...

Description
Summary:A series of 2,3-diaryldibenzo[b]thiophene derivatives have been synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions in moderate to good yields (59–79%). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antithrombolytic, biofilm inhibition, and hemolytic potential. All compounds showed significant biological potential. Compound (4k) revealed excellent antithrombolytic (87.24%) and biofilm inhibition (99.64%) activity. While compound (4i) exhibited an outstanding hemolytic potential (84.53%). The docking studies uncovered that studied compounds interact with streptokinase and plasminogen via hydrogen bonding, π-anion, π–π stacked interactions, and π-sigma bonding type interactions. The results revealed that synthesized benzo[b]thiophene derivatives could be a potential source of therapeutic agents. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
