Thiazole derivatives are known for a wide range of therapeutic properties. Bisnoralcohol is an inexpensive natural product obtained by the biodegradation of sterols. This article describes an efficient synthesis of a library of thiazole-fused bisnoralcohol derivatives.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA number of novel pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized, and several of these compounds are potent antibacterial agents with minimum inhibitory concentrations as low as 0.5 μg/mL. Human cell lines were tolerant to these lead compounds, and they showed negligible hemolytic effects at high concentrations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFrom a library of compounds, 11 hit antibacterial agents have been identified as potent anti-Gram-positive bacterial agents. These pyrazole derivatives are active against two groups of pathogens, staphylococci and enterococci, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values as low as 0.78 μg/mL.

Finding new antibiotics to treat these infections is imperative for combating this worldwide menace. In this study, the authors designed and synthesized potent antimicrobial agents using 4-trifluoromethylphenyl-substituted pyrazole derivatives.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDesign and synthesis of -(trifluoromethyl)phenyl substituted pyrazole derivatives and their potency as antimicrobial agents are described. Several of these novel compounds are effective growth inhibitors of antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacteria and prevent the development of biofilms by methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and . These compounds eradicated the preformed biofilms effectively and were found to be more effective than the control antibiotic vancomycin.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFEnterococci and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) are among the menacing bacterial pathogens. Novel antibiotics are urgently needed to tackle these antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. This article reports the design, synthesis, and antimicrobial studies of 30 novel pyrazole derivatives.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA collection of potent antimicrobials consisting of novel 1,3-bis-benzoic acid and trifluoromethyl phenyl derived pyrazoles has been synthesized and tested for antibacterial activity. The majority of trifluoromethyl phenyl derivatives are highly potent growth inhibitors of Gram-positive bacteria and showed low toxicity to human cultured cells. In particular, two compounds (59 and 74) were selected for additional studies.

We report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 25 new pyrazole-derived hydrazones. Some of these molecules are potent and specific inhibitors of strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value as low as 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of a new series of naphthyl-substituted pyrazole-derived hydrazones. Many of these novel compounds are potent growth inhibitors of several strains of drug-resistant bacteria. These potent compounds have inclined growth inhibitory properties for planktonic Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii, and its drug-resistant variants with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIn this paper, synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 31 novel coumarin-substituted pyrazole derivatives are reported. Some of these compounds have shown potent activity against methicillin-resistant (MRSA) with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 3.125 µg/mL.
