Synthesis, characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activity of novel fused pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, thieno[3,2-c]pyrazole and pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives

BACKGROUND: Some novel substituted pyrazolone, pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinone, thieno[3,2-c]pyrazole and pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives have been reported to possess various pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. RESULTS: A novel series of azoles and azines were designed and prepared via reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one with some electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. The structures of target compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses and spectral data. CONCLUSIONS: The antimicrobial activity of the target synthesized compounds were tested against various microorganisms such as Escherichia coli; Bacillus megaterium; Bacillus subtilis (Bacterial species), Fusarium proliferatum; Trichoderma harzianum; Aspergillus niger (fungal species) by the disc diffusion method. In general, the novel synthesized compounds showed a good antimicrobial activity against the previously mentioned microorganisms.
