Synthesis and cytotoxicity of novel (thiazol-2-yl)hydrazine derivatives as promising anti-Candida agents
摘要:
Thirty-eight new (4-(4-substituted-phenyl/2,4-disubstituted-phenyl)-thiazol-2-yl)hydrazine derivatives were synthesized in good yield and assayed for their in vitro anti-Candida activity, compared to topical and systemic antifungal drugs, against twenty-two clinical isolates of Candida spp. The concurrent presence of aliphatic chains or cycloaliphatic rings at N1-hydrazine and a 4-methyl/4-methoxyphenyl at C4 position of the thiazole nucleus exhibited an interesting anti-Candida inhibitory activity. Moreover, some of the most active compounds showed synergistic antifungal effects and lower cell toxicity when combined with clotrimazole. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Hantzsch cyclization of thiosemicarbazone intermediates is a very popular approach to the synthesis of substituted thiazoles. We developed a convenient microwave and ultrasound‐assisted method both for the synthesis of 1‐(alkyliden/cycloalkyliden/aryliden)thiosemicarbazone intermediates and their cyclization into (4,5‐substituted‐thiazol‐2‐yl)hydrazines. The search for optimal reaction conditions included
