SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 1,2,3-TRIAZOLE AND HYDRAZONE DERIVATIVES AS POTENT ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT Authors: Hanan Abdulaziz Hashem Al Ghamdi* and Mohammad Mahboob Alam
ABSTRACT
A library of eleven new conjugates of 1,2,3-triazole-hydrazone hybrid molecules have been
synthesized using click chemistry. All the novel compounds were confirmed by different
spectroscopic techniques and were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. Most of the
compounds were active against tested gram positive bacterial strains, whereas resistant
towards two gram negative bacterial strains P.m and P.a. Compound 7 showed superior
activity than the standard drug amoxicillin against E.c and K.p with zone of inhibition 30 mm
and 32 mm respectively compared to standard drug amoxicillin which showed zone of
inhibition 29 mm each at concentration of 200 ?g/disc. Compound 6 also showed promising
activity with zone of inhibition 28 mm and 30 mm against E.c and K.p respectively
comparable to standard drug. Five compounds showing significant activity were further
evaluated for their minimum inhibition concentration (MIC). Compound 7 showed MIC 25
?g/disk against E.c and K.p, compound 12 showed MIC 25 ?g/disk against E.c. Fungal
strain Candida albicans was found to be resistant against most of the tested compounds.
From the results it can be concluded halogen group present in the aromatic ring enhance the
activity and need further work to synthesize more compounds to get some lead compound for
drug candidate
