Azole antimicrobial pharmacophore-based tetrazoles: synthesis and biological evaluation as potential antimicrobial and anticonvulsant agents.

The azole pharmacophore is still considered a viable lead structure for the synthesis of more efficacious and broad spectrum antimicrobial agents. Potential antibacterial and antifungal activities are encountered with some tetrazoles. Therefore, this study presents the synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of a new series of substituted tetrazoles that are structurally related to the famous antimicrobial azole pharmacophore.
