Synthesis of Optically Active Bicyclic Derivatives of Nitroimidazoles

Nitroimidazoles are characterized by a wide range of biological activity and many of them are used as therapeutics. Moreover, some bicyclic nitroimidazooxazoles show considerable potency against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Some authors noticed that in the case of chiral derivatives of nitroimidazodihydrooxazoles, the (R) form shows a greater tuberculostatic activity than the (S) enantiomer. This work describes the procurement of new 12 enantiomeric bicyclic derivatives of nitroimidazole.

Optimized Synthesis of New Thiosemicarbazide Derivatives with Tuberculostatic Activity

Original results are presented in the field of research that addresses the extension of the reaction of residue of acyl-thiosemicarbazide fixation on the structure of 5-nitrobenzimidazole by a sulphonic group. The aim of the study is the increase of new thiosemicarbazide derivatives’ applicative potential in the field of biochemistry, with a wide range of medical applications. The newly obtained compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis and spectral analysis (FT-IR and 1H NMR). A study regarding the optimization of the chemical reactions was made. The performed in vitro biological tests confirmed the tuberculostatic activity of three newly obtained compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Planarity of heteroaryldithiocarbazic acid derivatives showing tuberculostatic activity: structure–activity relationships

The search for new tuberculostatics is an important issue due to the increasing resistance ofMycobacterium tuberculosisto existing agents and the resulting spread of the pathogen. Heteroaryldithiocarbazic acid derivatives have shown potential tuberculostatic activity and investigations of the structural aspects of these compounds are thus of interest. Three new examples have been synthesized. The structure of methyl 2-[amino(pyridin-3-yl)methylidene]hydrazinecarbodithioate, C8H10N4S2, at 293 K has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry. It is of interest with respect to antibacterial properties. The structure displays N—H...N and N—H...S hydrogen bonding. The structure ofN′-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonothioyl)picolinohydrazonamide, C11H15N5S, at 100 K has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry and is also of interest with respect to antibacterial properties. The structure displays N—H...S hydrogen bonding. The structure of (Z)-methyl 2-[amino(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]-1-methylhydrazinecarbodithioate, C9H13N4S2, has triclinic (P\overline{1}) symmetry. The structure displays N—H...S hydrogen bonding.
