The heterocyclic nucleus s-triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole has been reported to exhibit antibacterial activity. In this study, seven new 3,4-dihydro[1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives were prepared via cyclocondensation between 2-guanidinobenzimidazole and fluorine substituted (including trifluoromethyl) benzaldehydes.

None of the tested compounds significantly inhibited bovine DHFR.     

Synthesis of Condensed and Uncondensed Tetrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazines as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

Summary. Reactions of two cyclic amidrazones, the 6-methyl and 6-phenyl derivatives of 7-hydrazinotetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines with mono- and dicarbonyl compounds afforded various heterocyclic systems. Thus, acetic acid, benzoyl chloride, or ethyl chloroformate reacted with the former cyclic amidrazones to yield the corresponding [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines. With pyruvic acid or ethyl pyruvate the corresponding hydrazone derivatives were obtained, which then cyclized to tetrazolo[1′,5′:2,3][1,2,4]triazino[5,4-c][1,2,4]triazines. The 9,10-dioxotetrazolo-triazinotriazine structures were synthesized by condensative cyclization of the cyclic amidrazones with diethyl oxalate, whereas the reaction of these amidrazones with acetylacetone or ethyl acetoacetate furnished pyrazolyltetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines through the isolable hydrazone intermediates. Some of the representative members of the prepared compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity.
