Novel hybrid thiazoles, bis-thiazoles linked to azo-sulfamethoxazole: Synthesis, docking, and antimicrobial activity

The reaction of sulfamethoxazolehydrazonoyl chloride with thiosemicarbazones, bis-thiosemicarbazones, or 4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole in dioxane in the presence of triethylamine as a basic catalyst at reflux resulted in the regioselective synthesis of thiazoles and bis-thiazoles linked to azo-sulfamethoxazole as novel hybrid molecules. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed using a range of spectra. Each compound's antibacterial properties were evaluated using the agar well-diffusion technique, and most of them demonstrated significant potency. In silico investigations revealed that the described compounds had strong interactions with the binding sites of MurE ligase, tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, and dihydropteroate synthase, demonstrating inhibitory activity.

Utility of 2-Chloro-N-arylacetamide and 1,1'-(Piperazine-1,4-diyl)bis(2-chloroethanone) as Versatile Precursors for Novel Mono- and Bis[thienopyridines]

A series of novel thieno[2,3-b]pyridines linked to N-aryl carboxamides or (carbonylphenoxy)-N-(aryl)acetamides, as well as bis(thieno[2,3-b]pyridines) linked to piperazine core via methanone or carbonylphenoxyethanone units, were synthesized by treating the appropriate chloroacetyl- or bis-bromoacetyl derivatives with 2-mercaptonicotinonitrile derivatives in ethanolic sodium ethoxide at reflux. The spectral data were used to determine the compositions of novel compounds.
