We report the design, synthesis, and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation of functionalized pyrazoles containing a hydrazono/diazenyl moiety. Among these newly synthesized derivatives, 4-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazono]-5-methyl-2-[2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)acetyl]-2,4-dihydro-3 H-pyrazol-3-one is a promising antimicrobial agent against Staphylococcus aureus (minimum inhibitory concentration 0.19 μg mL−1). Structure–activity relationship studies reveal that the electronic environment on the distal phenyl ring has a considerable effect on the antimicrobial potential of the hybrid analogues. Molecular docking studies into the active site of S. aureus dihydrofolate reductase also prove the usefulness of hybridizing a pyrazole moiety with azo and hydrazo groups in the design of new antimicrobial agents.

Background: Thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives, as well as thiazolidinones are very important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Literature has revealed that they possess a wide spectrum of biological activities including antimicrobial activity. Objective: The goal of this paper is the designing of new benzothiazole based thiazolidinones and the evaluation of their biological activities. Methods: The designed compounds were synthesized using classical organic synthesis methods. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using the method of microdilution. Results: The twelve newly synthesized compounds showed antimicrobial properties. All compounds appeared to be more active than ampicillin in most studied strains and in some cases, more active than streptomycin. Antifungal activity, in most cases was also better than the reference drugs ketoconazole and bifonazole. The prediction of cytotoxicity revealed that the synthesized compounds were not toxic (LD50 350-1000 mg/kg of body weight). Docking studies on the antibacterial activity confirmed the biological results. Conclusion: The twelve new compounds were synthesized and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The compounds appeared to be promising antimicrobial agents and could be the lead compounds for new, more potent drugs. According to the docking prediction, the compounds could be MurB inhibitors.

 In an effort to improve the antimicrobial activity of norfloxacin, a series of hybrid norfloxacin–thiazolidinedione molecules were synthesized and screened for their direct antimicrobial activity and their anti-biofilm properties. The new hybrids were intended to have a new binding mode to DNA gyrase, that will allow for a more potent antibacterial effect, and for activity against current quinolone-resistant bacterial strains. Moreover, the thiazolidinedione moiety aimed to include additional anti-pathogenicity by preventing biofilm formation. The resulting compounds showed promising direct activity against Gram-negative strains, and anti-biofilm activity against Gram-positive strains. Docking studies and ADMET were also used in order to explain the biological properties and revealed some potential advantages over the parent molecule norfloxacin.
