“…The incorporation of piperazine is an important synthetic strategy in drug discovery due to its easy modificability, proper alkality, water solubility, the capacity for the formation of hydrogen bonds and adjustment of molecular physicochemical properties. 4,5 A broad range of biological active compounds displaying antibacterial, 3,[6][7][8] antifungal, 9,10 anticancer, [11][12][13] antiparasitic, 14,15 antihistamin, 16 psychotolytic, 17 and antidepressive activities 18 have been also found to contain this versatile core. In particular, structurally simple 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine, as the efflux pump inhibitor, could exert positive effect on tetracyclines and ciprofloxacin against their resistant bacteria.…”
