Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of new 1,2,3-selenadiazoles

The commercially available aromatic polyketones 1a-d were utilized for the synthesis of the multi-arm1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives 3a-d. The preparation starts with the reaction between compounds 1a-d and p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide to give the corresponding tosylhydrazones 2a-d. Subsequent reaction with selenium dioxide leads to regiospecific ring closure of the tosylhydrazones to give the target multi-arm 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives in high yield. A 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivative 3e containing an epoxide ring was also prepared. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of spectral and analytical data. The compounds were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacterial and Candida strains obtained from King Abdullah Hospital in Irbid -Jordan. Compounds 3a, 3c and 3e were found to be highly active against all the selected pathogens. Compound 3e showed an inhibition zone of 13 mm against the highly resistant P. aruginosa.

Abstract

A series of novel 1,2,3-thiadiazoles and 1,2,3-selenadiazoles having a long alkyl chain were synthesized by reacting semicarbazones with SOCl₂ and SeO₂, respectively. The structures of the target compounds 5–12 were confirmed by spectroscopy (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and MS) and elemental analysis.

The results of bioassays indicated that the compounds 5-Dodecyl-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-[1-3]selenadiazole (7), 4-Methyl-5-tetradecyl-[1-3]selenadiazole (8) and 5-Dodecyl-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-[1-3]thiadiazole (11) displayed moderate antibacterial activity against S. Epidermidis. On the other hand, according to antifungal screening results, compounds 5-Dodecyl-4-phenyl-[1-3]selenadiazole (5), 4-p-Tolyl-5-undecyl-[1-3]selenadiazole (6), and 5-Dodecyl-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-[1-3]selenadiazole (7) exhibited significant antifungal activities studied yeast strains.

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activity of a new macrocycle and its transition metal complexes

The semicarbazone (L¹) has been prepared by reaction of semicarbazide and glutaraldehyde (2 : 1) in distilled water and methanol (1 : 1). The reaction of semicarbazide, glutaraldehyde and diethyl oxalate in distilled water and methanol gave Schiff-base L², 1,2,4,7,9,10-hexaazacyclo-pentadeca-10,15-dien-3,5,6,8-tetraone. Complexes of first row transition metal ions Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have also been synthesized. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, IR, ¹H NMR, UV–Visible spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Molar conductance values show that the complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Co(II) are 1 : 2 electrolytes. On the basis of electronic spectral studies and molar conductance measurements an octahedral structure has been proposed for Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes, tetrahedral for Zn(II) complex and square planar for Ni(II) and Cu(II). The thermal behavior of the compounds, studied by TGA in a nitrogen atmosphere up to 800°C, reveal that the complexes have higher thermal stability than the macrocycle. All the synthesized compounds and standard drugs kanamycin (antibacterial) and miconazole (antifungal) have been screened against bacterial strains Staphylococcus areus, Escherichia coli and fungal strains Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger. The metal complexes inhibit growth of bacteria to a greater extent than the ligand.     

Synthesis,characterization, antimicrobial activity and ultrastructure of the affected bacteria of new quinoline compounds

The reaction on 8-hydroxy quinoline-7-aldehyde azo compounds (HL _n ) (where n = 1–5) with 4-amino-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one to obtain HL _n (where n = 6–10) have been characterized by means of TLC, melting point and spectral data, such as IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectra and thermal studies. The X-ray diffraction patterns of two starting materials 8-hydroxy quinoline-7-aldehyde (start 1), 4-amino-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one (start 2) and the ligands (HL_5,10) are investigated in powder form. All the ligands have been screened for their antimicrobial activity against four local bacterial species, two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) as well as against four local fungi; Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum and Fusarium oxysporium. The results show that the azo ligands (HL _n ) (where n = 1–5) have no antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi while most azomethine ligands (HL _n ) (where n = 6–10) are good antibacterial agents against E. coli and K. pneumoniae as well as antifungal agents against P. italicum and A. alternata. The results were compared to standard substances (start 1) and (start 2). Among the azomethine ligands, HL₁₀ was the most effective against the most microorganisms tested. The size of clear zone was ordered as p-(OCH₃ < CH₃ < H < Cl < NO₂) as expected from Hammett’s constant (σ ^R ). Also, the ultrastructure study of the affected bacteria confirmed that HL₈ is good antibacterial agent against E. coli and S. aureus.

Helicenoid-based bis-1,2,3-triazole tweezer: Synthesis and selective iodide sensing

Abstract

Novel helicenoid based 1,2,3-triazole tweezer 4 was synthesized using a multistep synthetic protocol with high yields from 2,7-Dihydroxynaphtlene 3 as a precursor. This helicenoid-based bis-1,2,3-triazole tweezer 4 selectively causes non-covalent interaction with iodide anion. The UV-vis absorption exhibited enhancement while fluorescence spectra exhibited significant quenching. ¹H NMR titration showed shift of 1,2,3-triazole C-H signal with an increase in iodide concentration. Association constant of 3.818?×?10⁴ M^?1 was recorded for the host interaction with iodide ions. This value of association constant for iodide sensing using 1,2,3-triazole is the best reported so far for hosts with 1,2,3-triazole moiety and suggests that the helicenoid geometry is responsible for this remarkable behavior.     

Synthesis,physico-chemical characterization,antimicrobial activity and toxicological features of AgZnO nanoparticles

Silver-zinc oxide nanoparticles (AgZnO NPs) were chemically synthesized by the deposition of Ag NPs on the surface of ZnO NPs using silver nitrate, three types of anionic polyelectrolytes and citric acid as reagents. The Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry of AgZnO NPs revealed 0.41–0.69 wt% Ag, and balance ZnO. The existence of Ag NPs on the surface of ZnO NPs with hexagonal wurtzite structure was highlighted by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. The diffuse reflectance absorption of AgZnO NPs in the visible light region increased with the increase of Ag NPs content. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry revealed no chemical bonding between Ag NPs and ZnO NPs and confirmed the presence of functional groups characteristic to ZnO and carboxylic acid salts. The newly synthesized AgZnO NPs displayed antimicrobial activity against all the tested medically relevant pathogens, with minimal (biofilm) inhibitory concentrations ranging from 1.875 mg/mL to 7.5 mg/mL. Although the in vitro genotoxicity assay revealed a relatively high micronuclei index, the in vivo micronucleus (MN) test revealed a low MN frequency in animals treated with AgZnO NPs. The histopathological analysis revealed non-significant structural changes of the hepatic parenchyma, renal cortex and intestinal mucosa and minimal inflammatory reactions. The AgZnO NPs administration induced TUNEL positive nuclei of Kupffer cells in the liver parenchyma. The present study shows that the newly synthesized AgZnO NPs are active against planktonic and adherent microorganisms and could be exploited to develop novel antimicrobial strategies for the biotechnology and biomedical fields. Easy scalability of the developed chemical synthesis is a major advantage in producing large batches of AgZnO NPs with reproducible properties.
