Structure based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of imidazole derivatives targeting dihydropteroate synthase enzyme.

In this study, we have designed and synthesized 2-((5-acetyl-1-(phenyl)-4-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)thio)-N-(4-((benzyl)oxy)phenyl) acetamide derivatives. Antimicrobial activities of all the imidazole derivatives have been examined against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and results showed that the conjugates have appreciable antibacterial activity. Besides, several analogous were evaluated for their in vitro antiresistant bacterial strains such as Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Antimycobacterial and antimicrobial study of new 1,2,4-triazoles with benzothiazoles.

In this study, we report the antimycobacterial and antimicrobial evaluation of newly synthesized 3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(N-substituted-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole 6a-j in good yields. All the synthesized compounds have been established by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C-NMR and Mass spectral data. In-vitro antimycobacterial activity was carried out against (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) H₃₇Rv strain using Lowenstein-Jensen medium and antimicrobial activity against two Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes), two Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three fungal species (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus clavatus) using the broth microdilution method.

Pharmacological evaluation and characterizations of newly synthesized 1,2,4-triazoles.

The triazole analogs were obtained via. multistep synthesis sequence beginning with ethyl nicotinoate 3 which on treatment with hydrazine hydrate yields nicotinoyl hydrazide 4. Intermolecular cyclisation of 4 with 4-methylbenzoic acid in presence of phosphorous oxy chloride affords 2-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole 5.
