Synthesis of Furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and Its N(5)‐Substituted Derivatives

We report the efficient preparation of furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and its N‐substituted derivatives starting from methyl 2‐methylfuran‐3‐carboxylate. The Me group was converted to the aldehyde group, which was then condensed with hydrazine derivatives. Then, the ester functionalities were hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids, followed by treatment with SOCl₂ to give N‐substituted furopyridazinone derivatives.     

Synthesis and bioactivity evaluation of some novel sulfonamide derivatives

A simple and convenient method for the synthesis of biologically active sulfonamide derivatives was achieved. All the title compounds were characterized by spectral and elemental analysis. They were further screened in vitro for their abilities towards antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities. The compound N,N'-(3,3′-dimethoxybiphenyl-4,4′-diyl)bis(4-fluorobenzenesulfonamide) (5b) and N-(3-(9H-carbazol-4-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl)-4-fluoro-N-isopropylbenzenesulfonamide (5e) exhibited good activity when compared to the standard bactericide, Chloramphenicol and fungicide, Ketoconazole respectively.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of sulfonohydrazide‐substituted 8‐hydroxyquinoline derivative and its oxinates

Looking at the pharmacological importance of 8‐hydroxyquinolines and sulfonamides, in the present study, a novel bi‐dentate ligand 4‐amino‐N′‐[(8‐hydroxyquinoline‐5‐yl)methyl] benzenesulfonohydrazide (AHQMBSH) having above both moieties within a single molecular framework was synthesized by the reaction of N‐acetamidobenzene sulfonohydrazide with 5‐chloromethyl‐8‐hydroxyquinoline hydrochloride. Its metal(II) oxinates were also prepared with Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts. All the above compounds were investigated by physicochemical analyses, thermogravimetric analysis and spectroscopic techniques. Antimicrobial activities for the above prepared compounds were carried out using the agar‐plate method against various strains of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillis, Pseudomonas aerugionsa, Escherichia coli) and fungi (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavous). The results show a significant increase in antimicrobial and antifungal activities of AHQMBSH compared with the parent 8‐hydroxyquinoline and sulfonamides.

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some new N-pyridinium,quinolinium, and isoquinolinium sulfonate derivatives

1,3-propane- and/or 1,4-butane sultone (sultones are internal esters of hydroxyl sulfonic acid) are used as a chemical intermediate to introduce sulfopropyl and/or sulfobutyl groups into heterocyclic molecules and to confer water solubility and anionic character to the molecules. Therefore, the synthesis of three novel functionalized N-sulfonates is described. These sulfonates contain pyridyl (2a–f), quinolyl (4a–m), and isoquinolyl (6a,b) functional groups with potential biological activity. The synthesized quaternary ammonium salts, 3-(2 or 4-arylpyridinium-1-yl)propane or butane-1-sulfonate (2a–f), 3-(alkylquinolinium-1-yl)propane or butane-1-sulfonate (4a–m), and 3-(alkylisoquinolinium-1-yl)propane or butane-1-sulfonate (6a,b), were screened for their antimicrobial and antifungal activities. Among all tested compounds, it was found that compound 4-(4-carboxypyridinium-1-yl)butane-1-sulfonate (2f) showed high activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and tested fungi. Most of the compounds showed a moderate degree of antimicrobial activity. The structures of these compounds were confirmed on the basis of their analytical and spectral data (infrared, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectral data).

Synthesis and evaluation of some new 5-(hetaryl)thiazoles as potential antimicrobial agents

In continuing our efforts to find new effective antimicrobial agents for overcoming the problem of microbial resistance, a new series of functionalized 5-hetarylthiazoles have been designed and synthesized starting from readily accessible 1-(2-allylamino-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone (3).

The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against some human pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains. The compounds 7, 18, and 24 exhibited higher antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from (0.03–0.06?µg/mL) than ampicillin (MIC, 0.12?µg/mL) against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Whereas compounds 4, 22, and 24 revealed higher antifungal potency than amphotericin B against Aspergillus fumigatus. The structure and antimicrobial activity relationship was also discussed.
