Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Some Novel 3,5-Disubstituted-1,2,4-triazole Incorporated 2-Mercaptobenzothiazoles.
Several 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives 5a-i containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety incorporating two additional substituents were synthesized. All the newly synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro activity against certain strains of bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus coagulans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Compound 5a showed significant activity against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. Compounds 5a-i were also screened for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans and compounds 5a, 5b, 5d and 5g displayed significant activity against this fungus. Some of these compounds were evaluated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity, acute toxicity and ulcerogenic actions. Tested compounds 5g and 5h showed significant anti-inflammatory activity and significant gastrointestinal protection compared to the standard drug diclofenac sodium. Molecular modeling studies of the synthesized compounds are presented.
