Studies on heterocyclic compounds: spiro [indole-3,2'-thiazolidine] derivatives. Antimicrobial activity of monohalogenated 3'-phenylspiro 3H-indole-3,2'-thiazolidine-2,4' (1H)-diones.
The following halogenated 3'-phenyl [3H-indole-3,2'-thiazolidine]-2,4'(1H)-dione of general formula (A) were synthesized and screened for antimicrobial activity. (formula: see text) where: X = H (I, III, V, VII, IX, XI, XIII, XV), CH3 (II, IV, VI, VIII, X, XII, XIV, XVI); Y = H (I, II), 3-F (III, IV), 2-Cl (V, VI), 3-Cl (VII, VIII), 4-Cl (IX, X), 2-Br (XI, XII), 3-Br (XIII, XIV), 4-Br (XV, XVI). The synthetic approach involves the preparation of variously substituted Schiff-bases of indol-2,3-dione, which then are subjected to cyclocondensation with alpha-mercaptoalkanoic acids, to give spirothiazolidinones of type (A). The prepared compounds were screened against S. aureus, B. cereus, M. paratuberculosis, E. coli, S. typhi, Pr. mirabilis, Ps. aeruginosa, C. albicans, S. cerevisiae, A. niger by a disk-diffusion assay (Kirby-Bauer modified. The results of the antimicrobial screening showed that the prepared compounds exhibited varying degrees of activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. 3-Fluoro-derivative (III) showed inhibitory activity especially toward S. aureus and C. albicans. Chloroderivatives (VII) and (VIII) showed broad-spectrum "in vitro" antimicrobial activity, and were especially inhibitory toward S. aureus, E. coli, and S. Typhi. Fluoro-derivative (IV) and bromo-derivatives (XIII) and (XIV) possessed marked antimicrobial activity against M. paratuberculosis.
