Synthesis and evaluation of novel 4-nitropyrrole-based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as antimicrobial and anti-tubercular agents.

We report synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of 42 novel 4-nitropyrrole-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The synthesized molecules were evaluated for anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-tubercular activities. Promisingly, most of the compounds showed equal or more potency than standard ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli.
