Synthesis, biological activity and molecular modeling study of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4,5]tetrazines and 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazines

Different novel 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4,5]tetrazines and 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazines have been obtained from heterocyclization of 3-substituted-4-amino-5-substituted-amino-1,2,4-triazoles (3a-d) and 3-substituted-4-amino-5-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazoles (9a,b) with (α and β) bifunctional compounds like chloromethyl biphenyl-phosphanoxide, pyruvic acid, phenacyl bromide, diethyl oxalate, triethyl orthoformate, triethyl phosphite, fluorinated benzaldehydes, carbon disulfide and ethyl chloroformate under different experimental settings. Fourier transformer infrared analysis (FTIR), Proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance ((13)C NMR), as well as that of the mass spectral data, were used as the appropriate characterization techniques for the chemical structures of all newly synthesized compounds. The newly prepared compounds were examined as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial agents (against E. coli (Escherichia coli) and P. aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) as examples for Gram-negative bacteria and S. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) as examples for Gram-positive bacteria), as well as antifungal (against C. albicans (Candida albicans)) agents. The newly prepared compound showed high antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities in comparing with the commercial antibiotics Indomethacin, Nalidixic acid, Imipenem, and Nystatin. Docking of the most active compounds was performed depending on the results of antibacterial screening and the anti-inflammatory assay.
