Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chalcone derivatives, and in particular to diphenyl ether chalcone derivatives and preparation methods and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Pathogenic bacteria are highly diverse in nature, and their species complexity, population base, and ecological adaptability pose multiple health threats. It is worth noting that the global abuse of antibiotics has exacerbated the problem of microbial resistance. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, about 700,000 deaths each year are directly attributed to infections with drug-resistant bacteria. The detection rate of multidrug-resistant genes in clinical isolates has increased exponentially, and the spread of super-resistance factors such as NDM-1 carbapenemase has broken through geographical barriers. Therefore, the study of antimicrobial drugs has important application value. Chalcone compounds, with 1,3-diphenylpropenone as the basic skeleton structure, are the active ingredients of many medicinal plants and have a wide range of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antitumor, and antioxidant. Chalcone derivatives obtained by chemical synthesis also have a wide range of biological activities, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor. Compounds of this structure have good antibacterial effects (Yan Pei. Design, synthesis and biological activity evaluation of 2,4,6-trimethoxychalcone derivatives. Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, 2022; Hu Jiadong, Wen Wen, Fan Chen, et al. Synthesis and in vitro antibacterial activity evaluation of 2-hydroxychalcone compounds.

[0037] ② Bacterial activation Take out the strain from the -80℃ freezer and thaw it in a 37℃ water bath. Place the sterilized culture bottle and LB liquid culture medium on a sterile operating table. Irradiate the sterile operating table with ultraviolet light for 30 minutes, then turn off the light and ventilate. Disinfect hands and other related items and place them inside the sterile operating table. Use a pipette to draw 5μl of the bacterial solution and place it in a 5 ml sterilized LB liquid culture bottle. Cultivate overnight at 37℃ 180 rpm in a shaker. After taking it out, measure the optical density (OD) of the bacterial solution with an enzyme marker, and then dilute the bacterial suspension to a concentration of 1×10 7 CFU / mL.
[0038] ③ Preparation of Thiazolyl Blue Solution Weigh 0.5 g of Methyl Thiazolyl Tetrazolium (MTT) and dissolve it in 100 mL of phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Filter the solution with a 0.22 μm filter membrane to remove bacteria from the solution and store it at 4°C away from light. Wrap the centrifuge tube with tin foil during preparation and storage.
[0039] 2.2 Minimum inhibitory concentration determination The concentration of the drug solution added to the 96-well plate was diluted twice. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacterial suspensions were prepared and cultured in a shaker until the bacterial solution concentration OD600 = 0.6-0.8. The bacterial concentration was determined by McFarland turbidimetry (when the bacterial concentration was 1.5×10 8 cfu / ml, which is equivalent to the turbidity of McFarland standard tube No. 0.5), was diluted with LB liquid to the same turbidity as McFarland standard tube No. 0.5, and then the bacterial solution was diluted with LB liquid medium to 1×10 7 cfu / ml, and make the required bacterial suspension. Ultra-clean workbench UV irradiation for 30 min, turn off the UV light, turn on the lighting and ventilation, disinfect hands for aseptic operation, 200μl per well of 96-well plate. Blank control: only add 200μl culture medium; positive control: 100μl bacterial suspension + 100μl different concentrations of ciprofloxacin; 100μl bacterial suspension + 100μl different concentrations of gentamicin; 100μl bacterial suspension + 100μl different concentrations of TCS; negative control: 200μl bacterial suspension; test object: 100μl bacterial suspension + 100μl different concentrations of the drug to be tested. Culture at 37℃ for 12 h, determine its OD600 value in the microplate reader, add 10μL MTT to each well to stain the bacteria, and observe the staining phenomenon after culture at 37℃ for 20min. Observe its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value from the phenomenon.
[0040] 3. Experimental Results The results of the determination of the inhibitory activity of diphenyl ether chalcone derivatives on bacteria are shown in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, diphenyl ether chalcone derivatives have a good inhibitory effect on bacteria.
