Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a significant global health challenge due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. This study targets Flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase (ThyX), an essential enzyme in the thymidylate biosynthesis pathway crucial for bacterial DNA replication. We utilized advanced computational techniques, including molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and interaction energy analysis, to examine the binding interactions and stability of various thiazole-thiadiazole compounds with Mtb ThyX.

Seven compounds were synthesized and characterized using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial activities of these derivatives were evaluated against various bacterial (, , , ) and fungal strains (, , , ), demonstrating significant inhibition zones and low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC).
