A series of 1,2,4-triazole-based compounds was designed as potential antibacterial agents using molecular hybridization approach. The target compounds (23-44) were synthesized by Mannich reaction of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives with ciprofloxacin (CPX) and formaldehyde. Their potent antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria was accompanied by similarly strong activity against Gram-negative strains. The toxicity of the CPX-triazole hybrids for bacterial cells was even up to 18930 times higher than the toxicity for human cells. The results of enzymatic studies showed that the antibacterial activity of the CPX-triazole hybrids is not dependent solely on the degree of their affinity to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
