Microwave assisted the short time clean synthesis of 1,3-diketones as building blocks in heterocyclic synthesis: a facile synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of new dihydropyridine, 4H-pyrane, dihydropyridazine, pyrimidine and pyrazole derivatives

Abstract

The compounds bearing naphthalene moiety can be used as medical preparations because of their wide spectrum of biological activity and low toxicity. In this study, a new series of azoles or azines were synthesized from the reaction of the key intermediate 1-(1-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione 3 with a variety of electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents under a variety of mild conditions. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by various spectroscopic methods such as (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, mass spectra and elemental analyses). The prepared compounds were screened in vitro for their anti-microbial activity against some species of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeuroginosa). Anti-fungal activities of the compounds were tested against yeast and mycelial fungi,Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. The antimicrobial activity of this series was showed either weak or moderate activities.

Synthesis, characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activity of novel fused pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[3,2-c]pyrazole and pyrazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives

Background

Some novel substituted pyrazolone, pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinone, thieno[3,2-c]pyrazole and pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives have been reported to possess various pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antitumor and anti-inflammatory.

Results

A novel series of azoles and azines were designed and prepared via reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one with some electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. The structures of target compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses and spectral data.

Conclusions

The antimicrobial activity of the target synthesized compounds were tested against various microorganisms such as Escherichia coli; Bacillus megaterium; Bacillus subtilis (Bacterial species), Fusarium proliferatum; Trichoderma harzianum; Aspergillus niger (fungal species) by the disc diffusion method. In general, the novel synthesized compounds showed a good antimicrobial activity against the previously mentioned microorganisms.
