Design and synthesis of positional isomers of 1-alkyl-2-trifluoromethyl-5 or 6-substituted benzimidazoles and their antimicrobial activity
摘要:
A series of novel positional isomers of 1-alkyl-2-trifluoromethyl benzimidazole derivatives 3a-j and 4a-j have been synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria viz, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and gram negative bacteria viz., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Results indicate that compounds 3b, 4b were having promising antibacterial and antifungal activity.
Synthesis and antiparasitic activity of albendazole and mebendazole analogues
摘要:
Albendazole (Abz) and Mebendazole (Mbz) analogues have been synthesized and in vitro tested against the protozoa Giardia lamblia, Trichomonas vaginalis and the helminths Trichinella spiralis and Caenorhabditis elegans. Results indicate that compounds 4a, 4b (Abz analogues), 12b and 20 (Mbz analogues) are as active as antiprotozoal agents as Metronidazole against G. lamblia. Compound 9 was 58 times more active than Abz against T. vaginalis. Compounds 8 and 4a also shown high activity against this protozoan. Compounds 4b and 5a were as active as Abz. None of the Mbz analogues showed activity against T. vaginalis. The anthelmintic activity presented by these compounds was poor. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
