In present work, a convenient method for the nucleophilic ring-opening of epoxides with secondary amine in presence of ethyl acetate as a polar aprotic solvent using catalytic amount of base is described. Present method is highly regioselective and furnishes the products in short time of period with excellent yield. The regioselectivity of this ring opening was confirmed using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectral data. The antimicrobial screening of all these synthesized compounds was done against some bacterial and fungal strains in two polar solvents, DMSO and DMF using agar well diffusion method. These compounds showed good inhibition of bacterial strains and potent against fungal strains than standard drug.

Background: Development of potential antimicrobial agents is the main aim in the drug discovery process to overcome the problem of drug resistance. Pyrazolines and thiazolinones are extensively used as building blocks for the synthesis of diverse and medicinally important compounds. Methods: In this present work, a new series of functionalized pyrazolinyl-thiazolinone biheterocycles is designed and synthesized from N-pyrazolinecarbothioamide. Antimicrobial screening is carried out in order to discover their potential towards six bacterial and four fungal strains. The zone of inhibition (ZI in mm) was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC in μg/mL) by macro dilution method. The druggability of these new entities is done through in silico pharmacokinetic profiling using Maestro 2017-1 interface of Schrӧdinger software. Results and Disscusion: Compounds 4c and 4e with chloro and iodo substituents on Nphenylacetamide ring displayed good inhibitory antibacterial activity against the tested bacterial strains with minimum MIC values when compared to the reference drug tetracycline. Compound 3 with an acetic acid derivative showed high antifungal activity among all the tested derivatives. Compound 3 not only showed antifungal activity but also qualified druggability test with no violation of Lipinski rule of five. Conclusion: The capability of the synthesized pyrazolinyl-thiazolinone derivatives was performed to efficiently inhibit the growth of microorganisms against selected bacterial and fungal strains. Further, these compounds are found to be effectively bound to the active sites of attractive target Escherichia coli FabH.

Novel substituted 1,2,4-dithiazolylchromones 3a–j were synthesized by the reaction of 3-formylchromones (1a–j) with two equivalents of p-chlorothiobenzamide (2) in dry xylene and characterized spectroscopically (IR, 1H and 13C NMR, mass) and elemental analysis. All synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains and were found to possess good to moderate inhibitory potential against all tested strains. Antimicrobial results reveal that compounds bearing lipophilic electron withdrawing groups such as chloro and bromo displayed significant inhibitory potential against both bacterial and fungal strains. Particularly, compound 3c displayed significant inhibitory against bacterial strains and compound 3h exhibits significant inhibitory potential in comparison to standard drug fluconazole against fungal strain S. cerevisiae.

In the present work, some new imidazole derivatives (3i-xii) were synthesized as per design synthetic protocol scheme. The structures of newly prepared compounds were confirmed by modern analytical technique (IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectral data) and elemental analysis, results found in full agreement with their assigned structures. All the synthetic compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against bacterial strains viz. Escherichia coli (E. coli, MTCC 2961), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, MTCC 3160), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis, MTCC 121), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae, MTCC 3040) and Micrococcus luteus (M. luteus, MTCC 7527)) and fungal strains viz. Candida albicans (C. albicans, MTCC 227), Aspergillus niger (A. niger, MTCC 277) and Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus, MTCC 418) ; results showed good to remarkable activity. The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values were determined by comparison to ciprofloxacin (anti-bacterial) and fluconazole (anti-fungal) as standard drug. Among them, compound 3iv and 3x exhibited notable antimicrobial activity. These compounds may be used as new template for the searching of potential antimicrobial agents.

Background: The frequent uses of antimicrobial agents to treat infections in diabetic patients make them more drug resistance than non diabetic patients which accounts for higher mortality rate of diabetic patients. Therefore, it is a necessity today to synthesize new drugs with dual mode of action as antidiabetic and antibacterial agents. In the present work, new derivatives containing thiazolidinedione and 1,3,4-oxadiaozle have been synthesized and screened for PPAR-γ and antibacterial activities. Methods: Compound 5-12 have been synthesized from 2-methoxy benzaldehyde and thiazolidinedione and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, NMR and mass spectrometry. These compounds were tested for in vitro PPAR-γ transactivation, PPAR-γ gene expression and antibacterial activities. Finally molecular docking was carried out to see the binding interactions of molecules with the target protein. Results: All the compounds follow Lipinski rule suggesting the synthesized derivatives have good drug likeness properties. Compound 11 and 12 exhibited promising PPAR-γ transactivation with 73.69% and 76.50%, respectively as well as showed significant antibacterial activity with comparable MIC of 3.12 μg/disc to standard drug amoxicillin. The docking result was found to be in consistent with the in vitro PPAR-γ transactivation results. Conclusion: Compounds 11 and 12 can be further investigated as lead molecules for the development of new and effective antidiabetic and antibacterial agents.
