Design, synthesis and antitubercular assessment of 1, 2, 3-triazole incorporated thiazolylcarboxylate derivatives

A library of 1, 2, 3-triazole incorporated thiazolylcarboxylate derivatives (7a-q) and (8a-j) were synthesized and evaluated for their in-vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The two compounds 7h and 8h have displayed excellent antitubercular activity with MIC values of 3.12 and 1.56 µg/mL respectively (MIC values of standard drugs; Ciprofloxacin 1.56 μg/mL & Ethambutol 3.12 μg/mL). Whereas, the four compounds 7i, 7n, 7p and 8i displayed noticeable antitubercular activity with a MIC value of 6.25 µg/mL. The active compounds of the series were further studied for their cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 cell line using MTT assay. Furthermore, to study the probable mechanism of antitubercular action, physicochemical property profiling, DFT calculation and molecular docking study were executed on mycobacterial cell wall target Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose 2'-epimerase 1 (DprE1). Among all the compounds, 7h (-10 kcal/mol) and 8h (-10.1 kcal/mol) exerted the highest negative binding affinity against the targeted DprE1 (PDB: 4NCR) protein.

Synthesis and Development of N-2,5-Dimethylphenylthioureido Acid Derivatives as Scaffolds for New Antimicrobial Candidates Targeting Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Positive Pathogens

The growing antimicrobial resistance to last-line antimicrobials among Gram-positive pathogens remains a major healthcare emergency worldwide. Therefore, the search for new small molecules targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens remains of great importance. In this paper, we report the synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity characterisation of novel thiazole derivatives using representative Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains, including tedizolid/linezolid-resistant S. aureus, as well as emerging fungal pathogens. The 4-substituted thiazoles 3h, and 3j with naphthoquinone-fused thiazole derivative 7 with excellent activity against methicillin and tedizolid/linezolid-resistant S. aureus. Moreover, compounds 3h, 3j and 7 showed favourable activity against vancomycin-resistant E. faecium. Compounds 9f and 14f showed broad-spectrum antifungal activity against drug-resistant Candida strains, while ester 8f showed good activity against Candida auris which was greater than fluconazole. Collectively, these data demonstrate that N-2,5-dimethylphenylthioureido acid derivatives could be further explored as novel scaffolds for the development of antimicrobial candidates targeting Gram-positive bacteria and drug-resistant pathogenic fungi.

Design and synthesis of new indanol-1,2,3-triazole derivatives as potent antitubercular and antimicrobial agents

In a search of new antitubercular agents, herein we have reported a series of new thirty-two indanol-1,2,3-triazole derivatives. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antitubercular and antimicrobial activities. Among the screened compounds, most of the compounds have displayed good antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The compound 5g has been identified as potent antitubercular agent with MIC value 1.56 µM. The most active compounds of the series were further studied for their cytotoxicity against HEK 293 cells using MTT assay and found to be nontoxic. In addition, ten compounds were shown good antimicrobial activities against both antibacterial and antifungal pathogens. A molecular docking study against Mycobacterial enoyl-ACP-reductase (InhA) was performed to gain an insight into the molecular mechanism of antitubercular action. The pharmacokinetic parameters of these compounds were studied and displayed acceptable drug-likeness score.

Novel isoniazid embedded triazole derivatives: Synthesis, antitubercular and antimicrobial activity evaluation

In the present study, a series of new isoniazid embedded triazole derivatives have been synthesized. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antitubercular and antimicrobial activities. Among the screened compounds, six have exhibited potent antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain with MIC value 0.78 μg/mL, whereas, three compounds have displayed activity with MIC value ranging from 1.56 to 3.125 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity of the active compounds was studied against RAW 264.7 cell line by MTT assay and no toxicity was observed even at 25 μg/mL concentration. The five compounds have displayed good antimicrobial activities. Molecular docking have been performed against mycobacterial InhA enzyme to gain an insight into the plausible mechanism of action which could pave the way for our endeavor to identify potent antitubercular candidates. We believe that further optimization of these molecules may lead to potent antitubercular agents.
