Publication history: Received on 19 October 2020; revised on 27 October 2020; accepted on 02 November 2020 Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.30574/wjarr.2020.8.2.0387 Abstract Heterocyclic compounds with thiazole moiety are one of the most promising compounds in the medicinal chemistry possessing numerous therapeutic activities. The present was designed to study the high throughput in silico screening of 10 designed 2-phenyl-amino thiazole derivatives as a potent FABH inhibitor in Molegro virtual docker software (Version 6.0) using 3iL9 as PDB. The docking results showed mol dock score of -90.94 with four hydrogen bonding for the standard drugs griseofulvin, while on the other hand, N-substituted thiazole derivatives S2, S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9 exhibited excellent mol dock score, ranged from -102.612 to -144.236, hydrogen bonding (4-10), and docking score ranged from -104.873 to -143.593. Similarly, another in silico study was done using online PASS software and the compounds S1, S2, S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9 have Pa ranged between 0.310 to 0.411 and showed good antibacterial activity whereas, compounds having Pa ranged between 0.216 to 0.334 demonstrated potent antifungal activity when compared to standard drugs. Thus, the present study affirmed the significant antimicrobial potential of some designed N- substituted thiazole derivatives based on their mol dock values and other parameters when studies in silico and the obtained results will provide data support and offer perspectives in future researches to develop potent antimicrobial agents from these N-substituted thiazole derivatives.

Introduction Thiazole, a five-member ring has molecular formula C3H3NS, indicating the presence of sulfur and nitrogen atoms, this ring plays a very crucial and important role amongst heterocyclic compounds [1]. Thiazoles can be synthesized in the laboratory by using the well-known Hantzsch process and also founds in natural sources likes vitamin B1 or marine sources [2,3]. Thiazoles containing compounds have different biological activities like antibacterial [4], anticancer [5], antimalarial [6], antifungal [7], anti-inflammatory [8], antiepileptic [9], anti-oxidants [10]. 1.1. Docking studies Molecular docking is defined as a technique for checking drug molecule bio-molecular interactions for the discovery of new drugs as well as a new use of the standard drug. This technique also provides us with a mechanistic study point of view and helps molecule (ligand) to bind with the specific receptor of the target at a specific region of the DNA/protein (receptor) [11]. The docking technique gives information about free energy, the stability of complex along with the binding energy of a definite compound. Molecular docking is very useful to forecast the outcome of the ligand-receptor complex [12]. Molecular docking is used to evaluate the exact confirmation of the ligand-receptor complex with an objective of least binding energy. The docking software forecasted the various parameters of binding free energy in terms of the hydrogen bond, electrostatic, torsional free energy, dispersion, and repulsion, desolvation total internal energy, and unbound system’s energy [13]. Discovery studio software helps in preparing ligand in PDB format, and by
