Sulfonamide-1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives as antifungal and antibacterial agents: synthesis, biological evaluation, lipophilicity, and conformational studies.

A series of thirteen new thiadiazole compounds were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activity. All compound tested showed significant antifungal activity against all the micromycetes, compared to the commercial fungicide bifonazole. Differences in their activity depend on the substitution of different reactive groups.

Novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives as potential antifungal and antibacterial drugs.

As part of ongoing studies in developing new antimicrobials, a class of structurally novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives incorporating three known bioactive nuclei such as thiazole, thiazolidinone and adamantane was synthesized by the multi-step reaction protocol, already reported in the literature. NMR and Molecular Modeling techniques were employed for structure elucidation and Z/E potential isomerism configuration of the analogues. Evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activity showed that almost all compounds exhibited better results than reference drugs thus they could be promising candidates for novel drugs.

Sulfonamide-1,2,4-triazole derivatives as antifungal and antibacterial agents: synthesis, biological evaluation, lipophilicity, and conformational studies.

A series of 10 new 5-[2-(substituted sulfamoyl)-4,5-dimethoxy-benzyl]-4aryl-s-triazole-3-thiones were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activity. All compounds tested showed significant antifungal activity against all the micromycetes, compared to the commercial fungicide bifonazole. Differences in their activity depend on the substitution of different reactive groups.

Synthesis and cytogenetic studies of structure--biological activity relationship of esters of Hecogenin and aza-homo-Hecogenin with N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)aminocinnamic acid isomers.

The esters of Hecogenin and aza-homo-Hecogenin with N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)aminocinnamic acid isomers have been prepared and their cytogenetic studies of structure-biological activity relationship were evaluated. The cytogenetic effects (sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) induction and proliferation rate indices (PRIs) depression) by o-, m- and p-[N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino] cinnamic acid were also investigated. Among the above compounds tested, those of the m-[N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino] cinnamic acid and of the o-[N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino] cinnamic acid ester of aza-homo-Hecogenin were more active in comparison to the others.
