A diverse series of imine linked 1,2,3-triazole hybrids has been synthesized via Cu(I)-promoted click reaction, with an aim to develop some new antimicrobial molecules. The structural characterization of the synthesized triazole hybrids was accomplished using various spectral techniques like
1
H NMR,
13
C NMR, FTIR and HRMS. Among the synthesized hybrids,
7d
exhibited highest antimicrobial efficacy against
R. oryzae
and
S. aureus
with MIC of 0.0123 µmol/mL and 0.0061 µmol/mL, respectively. Docking studies of the terminal alkynes (
4a
,
4b
) and triazole hybrids (
6a
,
6d
,
7c
,
7g
) showing high potency towards
E. coli
DNA gyrase and
C. albicans
sterol 14-
α
demethylase were also undertaken to understand the binding behaviour.
