Synthesis and Antimicrobial, Antiproliferative Evaluation of Novel Quinolone and Conazole Analogues via Conventional and Microwave Techniques

Abstract

1,2,4-Triazole-3-one (3), acquired from cinnemaldehyde was converted to the corresponding carbox(thio)amides via several steps (6a-c). Their reaction with sodium hydroxide gave the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (7a-c). Compound 3 treatment with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl) ethanone or 2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethanone afforded the compounds 8a,b and by reducing these compounds reduction products were obtained (9a,b). The synthesis of (10a-e) was carried out by the reaction compounds 9a,b with different benzyl chlorides. Then oxadiazol derivative (12) was obtained by ring closure from hydrazide compound 5. Subsequently compounds 3, 7a-c and 12 were treated with various amines in the presence of formaldehyde to yield Mannich bases (11a-e, 14a-e, 13a,b). Microwave-assisted and conventional techniques were utilized for the syntheses. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were illuminated by spectroscopic methods. Their antimicrobial (MIC method), and anticancer activities (Abay’s method) were examined. Results showed that most of the compounds exhibited good antimicrobial activities. Especially compounds 14a-e which is a mannich base showed very good antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis compared with Streptomycin standard drug. Also compounds 8a and 9b have been found to have strong antiproliferative effects on the HeLa cervical cancer cells and also these compounds did not have cytotoxic effect on normal cell.
