Qulnoline-based azetidinone and thiazolidinone analogues as antimicrobial and antituberculosis agents

摘要

New azetidinone and thiazolidinone class of bioactive agents based on quinoline nucleus have been synthesized. 2-Chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde reacted with various substituted amine to form the corresponding Schiff base intermediates. We have derived final azetidinone and thiazolidinone analogues from Schiff bases using chloroacetyl chloride and 2-mercaptoacetic acid, respectively. The newly synthesized analogues were then examined for their antimicrobial activity against some bacterial and fungal strains as two gram -ve bacteria (Escherichia coli MTCC 739 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741), two gram +ve bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96 and Bacillus subtilis MTCC 430), two fungal species (Aspergillus niger MTCC 282 and Candida albi-cans MTCC 183) as well as against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv to develop a novel class of bioactive agents. The results of bioassay showed that some of the newly synthesized azetidinones and thiazolidinones emerged as lead molecules with excellent MIC (mg/mL) values against mentioned microorganisms compared to standard drugs. The structure of the final analogues has been confirmed on the basis of IR, 'H NMR, ~(13)C NMR, and elemental analysis.
