An efficient, green strategy for synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole has been developed using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) acetate ionic liquid (200 μL) under a solvent- and external base-free condition. This protocol is further applied for the synthesis of novel amino acid containing 1,2,3-triazole molecules, which were then evaluated for potential antitubercular and antibacterial activities. Cytotoxicity assay of the compounds was also performed. In silico analysis of the promising compounds selected through experimental analysis was thereafter performed for visualizing molecular interactions and predicting binding affinities between our synthesized molecules, which exhibited good activity in experimental studies and the DprE1 target protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Durg-likeness studies also show potential of the synthesized molecules as drug candidates.
