Physicochemical Investigation of Some Thiobarbiturate Derivatives and Their Binding Study with Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Resumo

Due to the gradual increase in genetic related disease worldwide, the synthesis, characterization and physicochemical investigation of medicinal compounds such as thiobarbiturates and their derivatives is a highly desired area of research. Keeping their importance as medicinal compounds in mind, herein we report the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of five selected thiobarbiturate samples namely (MKA20 MKA21, MKA22, MKA23, MKA24) by using various physicochemical techniques. All the selected thiobarbiturates and their derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of diethyl thiobarbituric acid with different aromatic aldehydes. The synthesized thiobarbiturates and their derivatives were analyzed by various electroanalytical techniques, which gave us valuable information about the nature of thiobarbiturates and their derivatives. Further, the preliminary interaction of these thiobarbiturate with Deoxyribonucleic acid in aqueous solution was also investigated by using Ultraviolet-Visible spectrometry. On the basis of various results obtained, it can be said that most of their properties and extent of interaction with Deoxyribonucleic acid are varying with changing the alkyl groups on one hand and the functional groups on the other hand.
