Abstract:
This thesis work is part of the spectroscopic and structural characterisation by X-ray diffraction as well
as the non-linear optical and biological properties of Schiff bases containg triazole-moities, as well as
molecular docking.
The promising biological results previously obtained in our team, prompted us to study the effect of
substitution on biological activity, in order to determine the group(s) responsible and influencing these
activities, on the one hand, and to proceed with the investigation and optimisation by molecular
docking, on the other hand.
The study of the biological properties of the five Schiff bases revealed good antifungal activity against
a plant pathogen. While the results of the antibacterial activity showed that our compounds are
inactive against some tested strains and moderately active against others.
Investigation of the non-linear optical properties, on the three Schiff bases (L1), (L2) and (L3), shows
a good response to the second (SHG) and third harmonic (TH) even exceeding the LiNbO3 reference.
Molecular docking allowed us to predict the affinity and interaction modes between the different
ligands and the protein responsible for the activation of the four microorganisms previously tested in
vitro.
This approach by molecular docking allowed us to correlate the biological study carried out
experimentally in vitro and the theoretical simulation approach in silico.
