Abstract

AbstractIn an attempt to identify a new pharmacological lead which should be more potent than the established drug pyrazinamide, a molecular hybridization technique was applied to fuse two pharmacophore moieties: pyrazine‐2‐carbohydrazide (1) and diphenyl ether/piperazinyl derivative (2), to isolate a new series of hybrid molecules. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial and antimycobacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus and Mycobacterium TB H37Rv strains. In comparison to the reference medication (pyrazinamide) these compounds exhibited moderate antitubercular and antibacterial action, with a MIC value of 15.625–125 µg/mL. All the synthesized molecules were characterized through IR, NMR and mass spectrometry. Docking studies were carried out in order to have better understanding related to protein and ligand receptor interactions.
