“…The synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4- d ]-pyrimidine derivatives has also received significant attention in recent years because of their wide range of biological and pharmaceutical properties such as antitumor and antileukemia activity [ 13 ], anti-mycobacterial [ 14 ] and antidiabetic [ 15 , 16 , 17 ] agents, kinase [ 18 , 19 ] and phosphodiesterase [ 20 ] inhibitors, and also for their valuable antiangiogenic [ 21 ], fungicidal [ 22 ], cytotoxic [ 23 ] antitubercular [ 24 ], antimicrobial [ 25 ], potent antiproliferative agent [ 26 ] and anthelmintic [ 27 ] activities. In view of the above mentioned findings and as continuation of our effort [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] to identify new candidates that may be of value in designing new, potent, selective and less toxic antimicrobial agents, we report in the present work the synthesis of some new pyrazoles, pyrazolo[3,4- d ]pyrimidine- and imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazinone derivatives starting from 2-hydrazinyl-4,4-diphenyl-1 H -imidazol-5(4 H )-one in order to investigate their antimicrobial activity.…”
