Facile synthesis, antimicrobial and antiviral evaluation of novel substituted phenyl 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one sulfonyl derivatives.

A series of novel substituted phenyl 1, 3-thiazolidin-4-one sulfonyl derivatives 5 (a-t) were synthesized and screened for their in-vitro anti-microbial and anti-viral activity. The result of the anti-microbial assay demonstrated compounds 5d, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j showed prominent inhibitory activity against all the tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, while compounds 5g, 5j, 5o, 5p, 5q showed significant activity against the entire set of fungal strains as compared to standard drug Ampicillin and Clotrimazole, respectively. The antimicrobial study revealed that compounds having electron-withdrawing groups showed significant antimicrobial potency.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted phenyl azetidine-2-one sulphonyl derivatives as potential antimicrobial and antiviral agents.

In the present study, we intend to synthesize a series of novel substituted phenyl azetidine-2-one sulphonyl derivatives. The entire set of derivatives 5 (a-t) were screened for in-vitro antibacterial, and antifungal activity, and among them eleven compounds were further screened for the antiviral activity to predict their efficacy against pathogenic viruses. Interestingly, compound 5d, 5e, 5f, 5h, 5i, and 5j showed similar or better antibacterial activity as compared to ampicillin (standard).
