Synthesis, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Activities of Some Fused Heterocyclic [1,2,4]Triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole Derivatives

Abstract

In the present work, we synthesized a series of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f and 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f) by using simple starting materials, namely, β‐amino acids and different aromatic acid hydrazides. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by mass, IR, 1H, and13C‐NMR spectral data analysis. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities and antioxidant properties. Compound 6c was a potent microbial agent particularly against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 3.12 µg/mL) and Candida albicans (MIC 6.25 µg/mL) when compared with the reference drugs ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was also evaluated by 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl hydrazyl, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging methods. Compounds 6c, 6f, 7c, and 7f showed good radical scavenging activity due to the presence of electron‐donating group on phenyl ring.
