The structure-activity relationships and potential mechanism of action are also reviewed to shed light on the development of more effective and biotargeted candidates. This review focuses on the latest research advances in the biological profile of pyrazole-thiazole hybrids reported from 2015 to the present, providing medicinal researchers with a comprehensive platform to rationally design and develop more promising pyrazole-thiazole hybrids.

Development in the Synthesis of Bioactive Thiazole-Based Heterocyclic Hybrids Utilizing Phenacyl Bromide

Heterocyclic hybrid frameworks represent a burgeoning domain within the realms of drug discovery and medicinal chemistry, attracting considerable attention in recent years. Thiazole pharmacophore fragments, inherent in natural products such as peptide alkaloids, metabolites, and cyclopeptides, have demonstrated a broad spectrum of pharmacological potentials. Given their profound biological significance, a plethora of thiazole-based hybrids have been synthesized through the conjugation of thiazole moieties with bioactive pyrazole and pyrazoline fragments. This review systematically presents a compendium of robust methodologies for the synthesis of thiazole-linked hybrids, employing the (3 + 2) heterocyclization reaction, specifically the Hantzsch-thiazole synthesis, utilizing phenacyl bromide as the substrate. The strategic approach of molecular hybridization has markedly enhanced drug efficacy, mitigated resistance to multiple drugs, and minimized toxicity concerns. The resultant thiazole-linked hybrids exhibit a myriad of medicinal properties viz. anticancer, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, antifungal, antiviral, and antioxidant activities. This compilation of methodologies and insights serves as a valuable resource for medicinal chemists and researchers engaged in the design of novel thiazole-linked hybrids endowed with therapeutic attribute.

Among pyrazole derivatives, particularly, methyl substituted pyrazoles have been reported as the potent medicinal scaffolds that exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities. The present review is an attempt to highlight the detailed synthetic approaches for methyl substituted pyrazoles along with in depth analysis of their respective medical significances till March2021. It is hoped that literature sum-up in the form of present review article would certainly be a great tool to assist the medicinal chemists for generating new leads possessing pyrazole nucleus with high efficacy and less microbial resistance.

Bis-dihydroisoxazolines: Synthesis, Structural Elucidation, Antimicrobial Evaluation, and DNA Photocleavage Assay

AIM AND OBJECTIVE

Isoxazole is an active core found in many drugs. The aim of this work was to synthesize bis-isoxazoline compounds and to analyze the effect of linker chain length on biological activities.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A simple, convenient, and efficient method for the conversion of bischalcones to new bis(4,5-dihydroisoxazole) derivatives was developed by using hydroxylamine hydrochloride under basic medium. Synthesized moieties were also evaluated for their antimicrobial potencies and DNA photocleavage assay.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The synthesized compounds were more active than their chalcone precursors and the long-chain linkers (4e&4f) were more potent in antimicrobial, as well as in DNA photocleavage activity.

CONCLUSION

It was found that many of the tested bischalcones and bis-isoxazolines exhibited moderate to significant antimicrobial activity against various strains. Furthermore, the present study also provides significant information and interesting outcomes regarding cyclization, increasing the length of linker chains, and their effects on the DNA photocleavage and antimicrobial activities.

Design, synthesis, DFT, docking studies and ADME prediction of some new coumarinyl linked pyrazolylthiazoles: Potential standalone or adjuvant antimicrobial agents

The control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) seems to have come to a dead end. The major consequences of the use and abuse of antibacterial drugs are the development of resistant strains due to genetic mutability of both pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. We, herein, report the synthesis, characterization and biological activities of coumarin-thiazole-pyrazole (CTP) molecular hybrids with an effort to explore and overcome the increasing antimicrobial resistance. The compounds were characterized by analyzing their IR, Mass, 1H and13C NMR spectral data and elemental analysis. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was investigated against various pathogenic strains; the results obtained were further explained with the help of DFT and molecular orbital calculations. Compound 1b and 1f displayed good antimicrobial activity and synergistic effects when used with kanamycin and amphotericin B. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1b and 1f were studied against HeLa cells (cervical cancer cell) and Hek-293 cells. The results of molecular docking study were used to better rationalize the action and prediction of the binding modes of these compounds.

Antibacterial, tyrosinase, and DNA photocleavage studies of some triazolylnucleosides

In order to explore the biological potential, some synthesized triazolylnucleosides were evaluated for their antibacterial, tyrosinase and DNA photocleavage activities. Triazolylnucleosides (5-12) were screened against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), gram-positive and Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536), gram-negative bacterial strains. Among the series, compound 9 exhibited a significant level of antibacterial activity against both strains at higher concentration in reference to the standard drug, Levofloxacin. Tyrosinase activity and inhibition of these compounds were also studied, and it has been found that compounds 8 and 11 displayed more than 50% inhibitory activity. In addition, six compounds (7-12) were evaluated for their DNA photocleavage activity. The compounds 8 and 12 exhibited excellent DNA photocleavage activity at a concentration of 10 μg and may be used as template for antitumor drugs in the future.
