Synthesis of novel dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones derivatives using lipase and their antimicrobial activity
A series of novel dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives is synthesized by using Rhizopus Oryzae lipase biocatalyst in deep eutectic solvent. The reaction is characterized by high efficiency and selectivity, short reaction time, mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions. The yields are found to be significantly higher and reuse of both the lipase and deep eutectic solvent is possible up to four consecutive cycles. The products are found to exhibit appreciable in vitro antibacterial activity against Echerichia coli, Pseudomonas neumoniae and in vitro antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans
Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel 2-substituted benzimidazole, benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives
In an endeavor to find a new class of antimicrobial agents, a series of 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-5-(diethylamino)phenol, 2-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)-5-(diethylamino)phenol, 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-5-(diethylamino)phenol and their derivatives were synthesized starting from p-N,N-diethyl amino salicylaldehyde with different substituted o-phenylenediamine or o-aminophenol or o-aminothiophenol. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and LC–MS analysis. All compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains and in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger strains by using serial dilution method. The antibacterial activities were expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL
