Abstract
One of the major challenges in the community and healthcare was an impedance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics. This work developed 2-aminothiophene derivatives as novel antimicrobial agents. Various 2-aminothiophene derivatives (3a-f, 5a-c, 6a, b, 7, 8a, b and 9) with cyclic and heterocyclic moieties at 5-position were synthesized, and characterized using NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria S. pneumoniae, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and fungi A. fumigatus, S. mracemosum, G. candidum, C. albicans. Compound 3a with OH group at para position of phenyl ring exhibited significant antibacterial activity stronger than that of the drug standards Ampicillin and Gentamicin. Compound 6b possess pyrazole ring and compound 9 bearing pyridine ring showed promising antifungal activity compare to the standard drug Amphotericin B. The remaining compounds exhibited good to moderate inhibitory activities. In summary, the results suggest that the compounds from 2-aminothiophene derivatives can be used as antimicrobial agents.
