Abstract:
In the current study, bicyclic 1-(7-methyl-3,5-diphenyl-5H-thiazolo(3,2-α)pyrimidine-6-
yl)ethanone (4a-l) derivatives have been designed and conveniently synthesized by one-pot threecomponent method via cyclocondensation of substituted 4-phenylthiazole-2-amine (1a-c),
acetylacetone (2) and various aromatic aldehydes (3a-d) in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid
(PTSA) under acetonitrile solvent medium. The synthesized compounds (4a-l) have been characterized
by spectral analysis and subjected to docking study against protein DNA gyrase (PDB Code: 1KZN),
and also, the compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. The bioassay of the
synthesized compounds envisioned that the compound 4k emerged as a broad-spectrum antibacterial
agent, and 4l emerged as a good antifungal agent compared to standard drug.
