title: Preparation and antibacterial activity of 3-methyl-1-p-substituted phenylpyrazole-5-thiol.
abstract: 3-Methyl-1-phenylpyrazole-5-thiol (3a) and its p-nitro- (5) and p-fluorophenyl (8) derivatives were prepared as potential antimicrobial agents in relatively good yields. Compounds 3a and 8 showed good antibacterial activities against MRSA, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. faecalis, E. faecium, and S. pyogenes. Moreover, compound 3a also showed a synergistic effect with some aminoglycosides.
