Pcs exhibiting maximum absorption in the phototherapeutic window continue to shine as a beacon of hope in the treatment of cancer. In particular, they maintain skin sensitivity after treatment and can treat deep-seated tumors by stimulating them with broad-spectrum radiation. This makes them advantageous compared to their counterparts. In this study, Novel 1,2,3-triazole schiff base (5a), its methoxy homolog (5b), and their silicon complexes (SiPc-6a and SiPc-6b) were synthesized. Their proposed structures were confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, UV-vis and MS instrumental techniques. Compound (6b) showed inhibitory activity on amylase and glucosidase enzymes. Moreover, considering the glucosidase activity, compound (6b) (IC50, 22.4 +/- 1.0 mu M) was observed to be more effective than the standard compound (IC50, 186.1 +/- 5.8 mu M). Molecular docking studies showed that the synthesized compounds bind to the same enzymes with high affinity. The binding energy of SiPc-6a compound with alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and tyrosinase enzymes are -10.28, -11.31 and -11.9 kcal/mol, respectively. And another compound, SiPc-6b, has a binding energy of -11.46, -10.11 and -10.27 kcal/mol with a-amylase, aglucosidase and tyrosinase enzymes, respectively. Based on experimental results that support each other with binding energy values in quality and quantity indicating efficient binding, it is concluded that these compounds can be used in candidate drug discovery. Beside these, as a result of the studies, it was understood that all molecules have antioxidant activity. Additionally, molecular electrostatic potentials, frontier orbital analysis, natural bond orbital (NBO) properties of compounds calculated with DFT and TD-DFT methods and these properties associated with structural properties.
