Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of some triazole Mannich bases carrying diphenylsulfone moieties.

A series of Mannich bases of 4-substituted 5-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones, X=H, Cl, Br, 3 and 5 were synthesized and characterized on the basis of IR, NMR and elemental analyses. The potential antibacterial effects of the synthesized compounds were investigated using the Acinetobacter baumanii ATCC 19606; Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090; Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027; Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433; Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600; Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990; Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 strains. Some of them exhibited promising activities against A. baumanii and B. subtilis.

Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antibacterial activity of some thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole incorporating diphenylsulfone moieties.

A series of thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole incorporating diphenylsulfone moieties were synthesized starting from 5-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thioles 3a-c, X=H, Cl, Br. Thus, alkylation of 1,2,4-triazoles 3 with phenacyl bromide or 4-bromophenacyl bromide afforded S-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles 4, 5. These new intermediates 4 and 5, in the presence of H(2)SO(4) (c), were cyclized to 2-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-6-(4-Y-phenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b]-[1,2,4]-triazoles 6, 7 (I) and not to isomeric thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]-triazoles 6, 7 (II). The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR and elemental analysis. MS spectra confirmed the formation of thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole 6, 7 (forms I) in detriment of [2,3-c] isomeric compounds (forms II). The potential antibacterial effects of the synthesized compounds were investigated using standard bacterial strains: Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606, Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090, Escherichia coli ATCC 11775, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579.

New heterocyclic compounds from 1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole class bearing diphenylsulfone moieties. Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity evaluation☆

Some new 5-(4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-4-(R)-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-thiones 4a,b; 5a,b and 5-(4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-N-(R)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amines 6a,b; 7a,b were obtained by cyclization of new N(1)-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)benzoyl]-N(4)-(R)-thiosemicarbazides 2a,b; 3a,b (X=H, Br). The 1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of acylthiosemicarbazides, in basic media. On the other hand, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles were obtained from same acylthiosemicarbazides, in acidic media. These new intermediates from thiosemicarbazide class were afforded by the reaction of 4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)benzoic acids hydrazides (X=H, Br) 1a,b with 4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl isothiocyanate. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. All the new compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against some bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus cereus ATCC 13061, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Enterobacter cloacae ATCC 49141, Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) and yeasts (Candida albicans ATCC 90028 and Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019).

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some fused heterocyclic [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives

A series of fused 1,2,4-triazoles with diphenylsulfone moiety are prepared utilizing 4-amino-5-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol 1 (X=H, Br). The latter on reaction with aromatic isothiocyanate in DMF, aromatic acid in POCl3 and CDI in dioxane gives five membered fused triazole derivatives 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-g, 5a-g and 6a,b. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data results (IR, 1H-and 13C NMR). New synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities. The preliminary results revealed that some of the compounds exhibited promising antimicrobial activities.

Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity Evaluation of New Compounds from Hydrazinecarbothioamide and 1,2,4-Triazole Class Containing Diarylsulfone and 2,4-Difluorophenyl Moieties

In the present investigation, new hydrazinecarbothioamides 4–6 were synthesized by reaction of 4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)benzoic acids hydrazides (X= H, Cl, Br) 1–3 with 2,4-difluorophenyl isothiocyanate and further these were treated with sodium hydroxide to obtain 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives 7–9. The reaction of 7–9 with α-halogenated ketones, in basic media, afforded new S-alkylated derivatives 10–15. The structures of the synthesized compounds have been established on the basis of 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, mass spectral studies and elemental analysis. The antioxidant activity of all compounds has been screened. Hydrazinecarbothioamides 4–6 showed excellent antioxidant activity and 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 7–9 showed good antioxidant activity using the DPPH method.

(4-X-Phenylsulfonyl)phenyl] containing 6-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines and [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ones were synthesized by intermolecular condensation of 2-chloro-N-phenylacetamide, 2-chloroacetic acid, oxalylchloride and bromo-diethylmalonate with 4-amino-5-[4-(4-X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols (X = H, Cl, Br). The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and IR, NMR spectral data. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities. Some of them exhibited good activities against Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Inhibition of the cytosolic and tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase isozymes I, II and IX with some 1,3,4-oxadiazole- and 1,2,4-triazole-thiols

Novel mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole and -1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized by various pathways starting from 4-(4-halogeno-phenylsulfonyl)benzoic acid hydrazides which were reacted with carbon disulfide or isothiocyanates. The heterocyclic mercaptans prepared in this way were assayed as inhibitors of three physiologically relevant isoforms of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), i.e., the cytosolic CA I and II, and the tumor-associated, transmembrane isozyme CA IX. Interesting biological activity was detected for some of the new mercaptans, with inhibition constants in the low micromolar range.
