Urease are responsible for several pathogenic states in human as well as in animals and its inhibition is utmost urgent. Clinically used drugs are associated with many side effects; recently several researches have shown that flavonoids have good urease inhibition properties. Morin, a natural flavonoid has been investigated for urease inhibition studies which includes designing of library of morin analogues and their in-silico evaluation with the help of Schrodinger's maestro package of molecular docking software against crystallographic complex of plant enzyme Jack bean urease (PDB ID: 3LA4) followed by synthesis and in vitro evaluation.Best thirteen derivatives of morin were selected on the basis of their interaction energy and dock score for synthesis and further investigated for in-vitro antioxidant, urease inhibitory and Anti-H. Pylori activity. In-vitro results revealed that a large number of synthesized compounds were found to possess excellent antioxidant and urease Inhibition properties.Among the synthesized compounds, N-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-((4E)-2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-ylidene)thiourea (M2b) and N-(4-bromophenyl)-N-((4E)-2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-4H-chromen-4-ylidene)thiourea (M2i) were found to be most potent urease inhibitor and antioxidant with IC50 value 10.74 ± 0.018, 11.12 ± 0.033 and 7.37 ± 0.024, 7.73 ± 0.015and 7.795 ± 0.003 µM. Derivative M2i exhibited good anti-H. pylori activity having MIC = 500 μg/ml and zone of inhibition 15.00 ± 0.00 mm as compared to standard AHA having MIC = 1000 μg/ml and zone of inhibition 9.00 ± 0.50 mm determined against H. Pylori bacterium (ATCC 43504, DSM 4867) by well diffusion technique. Furthermore, molecular docking study explained the binding pattern of synthesized ligand within active cavity of jack bean protein and drug similarity was explained by ADME studies by quikprop module of molecular docking software.
