Hence, novel antimicrobials with improved biological activities are urgently needed. In this regard, a series of quinoline-stilbene derivatives were synthesized from substituted quinoline and benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride using Wittig reaction. Furthermore, a novel pinacol of quinoline was synthesized by pinacolinazation of 2-methoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde which was achieved by aluminum powder-potassium hydroxide reagent combination at ambient temperature in methanol. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established based on their spectral data. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro by the paper disc diffusion method against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium). The best activity was displayed by compound 19 against E. coli with an inhibition zone of 16.0\u2009\u00b1\u20090.82\u2009mm and 14.67\u2009\u00b1\u20090.94\u2009mm at 500 and 250\u2009\u03bcg\/mL, respectively. This is close to ciprofloxacin which is used as a positive control. The results of in silico molecular docking evaluation of the compounds against E. coli DNA gyraseB were in good agreement with the in vitro antibacterial analysis. Compounds 19 (\u22126.9\u2009kcal\/mol) and 24 (\u22127.1\u2009kcal\/mol) showed the maximum binding affinity close to ciprofloxacin (\u22127.3\u2009kcal\/mol) used as positive control. Therefore, the antibacterial activity displayed by these compounds is encouraging for further investigation to improve the activities of quinoline-stilbenes by incorporating various bioisosteric groups in one or more positions of the phenyl nuclei for their potential pharmacological use. Findings of the DPPH radical scavenging assay indicated that some of the quinolone stilbenes and pinacol possess moderate antioxidant properties compared to ascorbic acid used as a natural antioxidant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6635270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]],"date-time":"2021-03-03T20:36:35Z","timestamp":1614803795000},"page":"1-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Synthesis, Molecular Docking Analysis, and Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties of Stilbenes and Pinacol of Quinolines"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Zeleke","family":"Digafie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2599-0517","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yadessa","family":"Melaku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zerihun","family":"Belay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Biology, Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8331-2100","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rajalakshmanan","family":"Eswaramoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, Adama Science and Technology University, Adama, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/cmr.9.2.148"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-0500-6-98"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00044-016-1732-6"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14756366.2016.1190714"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bmc.2006.11.020"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmech.2020.112330"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ardp.201000002"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmech.2016.02.069"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cmdc.200700120"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bmcl.2013.10.072"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1389557511313030005"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/106002808902301101"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00044-005-0138-7"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.eye.6702414"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmech.2014.04.037"},{"issue":"16","key":"16","first-page":"3546","article-title":"Stilbenes synthesis","volume":"46","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Medicinal Chemistry"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmech.2005.11.010"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules19067679"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmech.2013.05.040"},{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1248\/cpb.58.1492"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/p19810001520"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/1324096"},{"key":"23","volume-title":"Bergey\u2019s Manual\u00ae of Systematic Bacteriology Classification of Procaryotic Organisms and the Concept of Bacterial Speciation","author":"D.
