Utility involving thioacetoacetanilides as precursors for synthesis of new thiazole, thiadiazole and thiophene derivatives with antimicrobial activity

Thiophene-containing compounds with antimicrobial activity

Thiophene, as a member of the group of five-membered heterocycles containing one heteroatom, is one of the simplest heterocyclic systems. Many synthetic strategies allow the accurate positioning of various functionalities onto the thiophene ring. This review provides a comprehensive, systematic and detailed account of the developments in the field of antimicrobial compounds featuring at least one thiophene ring in their structure, over the last decade.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Bisthiazoles and Polythiazoles

Small heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms, such as thiazole derivatives, represent a significant class of organic azoles that exhibit promising bioactivities and have a great potential in medicinal and agricultural fields. A convenient and high-yielding synthetic approach for a range of organic molecules is presented. The nuclease-like activities of compounds were studied with the aid of E. coli AB1157 DNA and agarose gel electrophoresis. The antioxidant evaluation of the compounds was carried out with different antioxidant techniques, such as ABTS and NO scavenging efficiency. The antibacterial behavior was evaluated against various bacterial strains, both Gram-positive and -negative, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of these compounds were determined. The antiproliferative activities and IC50 values of the synthesized organic molecules compounds against HEPG-2, MCF-7, and HCT-116 cell lines were evaluated.

Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 2-aminothiophenes by the cyclization of gem-difluoroalkenes with β-keto thioamides

A novel and effective method for the construction of highly functionalized aminothiophenes via the cyclization of gem-difluoroalkenes with β-keto tertiary thioamides is described.
