Synthesis and characterization of coumarin thiazole derivative 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-3H-benzofchromen-3-one with anti-microbial activity and its potential application in antimicrobial polyurethane coating

摘要

Coumarin, thiazole and their respective derivative products are some of the oldest and most commonly known class of nitrogen and sulphur containing compounds. In recent years there has been considerable interest in this coumarin-thiazole derivatives, which have been reported to exhibit significant biological activity and are widely used as pharmaceuticals. They are capable of imparting anti-microbial activity properties when incorporated into polymers and polymer composites. In this research, coumarin-thiazole derivative 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-3H benzofchromen-3-one (compound III), was prepared and its structure was confirmed by means of its spectra data. It was also screened for its anti-microbial activity against eight different micro-organisms when physically incorporated into a polyurethane varnish formula. Experimental coatings were manufactured on a laboratory scale and applied by means of a brush on both glass and steel panels. The results of the biological activity indicated that the polyurethane varnishes containing the 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-3H-benzofchromen-3-one (compound III) derivative, exhibit a very good antimicrobial effect. The molecular modeling study revealed that it is biologically safe, it is active and it fulfills Lipinski's rule of five. The physical and mechanical resistances of the polyurethane varnish formulations were also studied to evaluate any drawbacks associated with the addition of the derivative. The studies indicate that the physical incorporation of compound III actually enhances slightly both the physical and mechanical properties.
