Antimycobacterial and antimicrobial study of new 1,2,4-triazoles with benzothiazoles

Abstract

In this study, we report the antimycobacterial and antimicrobial evaluation of newly synthesized 3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(N-substituted-1,3- benzothiazol-2-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole 6a-j in good yields. All the synthesized compounds have been established by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C-NMR and Mass spectral data. In-vitro antimycobacterial activity was carried out against (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) H37Rv strain using Lowenstein-Jensen medium and antimicrobial activity against two Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes), two Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three fungal species (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus clavatus) using the broth microdilution method. Compounds 2e, 6a, 6g, 6h, and 6j exhibited promising antimicrobial activity whereas compound 6j showed very good antimycobacterial activity. The antimycobacterial and antimicrobial evaluation of newly synthesized 3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(N-substituted-1,3-benzothiazol- 2-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles is reported in detail. Compounds 2e, 6a, 6g, 6h, and 6j exhibited promising antimicrobial activity whereas compound 6j showed very good antimycobacterial activity. Copyright © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
