1. introductIon

Heterocycles bearing nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur atoms in their structure have received remarkable attention because of their biological and pharmacological applications [1-3]. Among the wide variety of heterocycles that were explored for developing pharmaceutically important molecules, compounds containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole nucleus [4-7] and pyrazole nucleus [8-13] constitute the important class of compounds exhibiting diverse and extensive spectrum of biological activities. This scenario led us to synthesize the novel compounds VII and IX containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyrazole nuclei and evaluate their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

2. materialS AND METHODS

All chemicals used were analytical grade obtained from Merck India Limited, India. All the glass ware used were of borosilicate grade. The standard bacterial and fungal stains were procured from National Centre for Cell Science, Pune, India. UV-Visible spectrophotometer manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, Japan was used for absorption measurements. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 983 IR spectrometer. The 1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AC 300F (200 MHz) NMR spectrometer using DMSO – d6 as solvent and TMS as an internal standard. Mass spectra of the compounds were recorded on a Jeol JMS-D300 mass spectrometer operating at 70 eV.  

2.1. General Synthetic Procedures

The novel compounds were synthesized by specified procedures and the critical intermediate compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data.

2.1.1. Synthesis of {4-[3-Methyl-5-oxo-4-(4|-substituted phenyl hydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-pyrazol-1-yl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid hydrazide (V).

a.  Synthesis of substituted phenyl diazoniam chloride (I)

The required primary amine was dissolved in a suitable volume of water containing 2.5–3.0 equivalents of hydrochloric acid (or sulphuric acid). The solution was cooled to 0 oC. To the crystals of amine hydrochloride (or sulphate) so obtained, an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite was added portion wise.  An excess of acid was necessary to stabilize the diazonium chloride. Similar procedure was adopted for the preparation of other substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides.

b. Synthesis of substituted phenyl diazonium ethyl acetoacetic ester (II)

To an ice-cold solution of mixture of sodium acetate (1.0 g) in 100 mL of aqueous alcohol and ethyl acetoacetate (0.1 mol) in 50 mL of ethanol, the corresponding diazonium chloride was added till yellow crystals were separated out.  These crystals were filtered, washed with water and dried.

c. Synthesis of 3-methyl-4-(substituted phenyl hydrazono)-pyrazoline-5-one (III)

3-methyl-4-(4|-substituted phenyl hydrazono)-pyrozoline-5-one (III) was synthesized by thecondensation of 4-substituted phenyl hydrazono acetoacetic ester (II) and hydrazine in the presence of required amounts of dimethylformamide. The mixture was subjected to microwave irradiation at 150W intermittently at 30 sec intervals for 2 minutes.  After complete conversion as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled and washed with cold water.  The precipitated III was filtered recrystallized from ethanol.   

d.Synthesis of {4-[3-Methyl-5-oxo-4-(substituted phenyl hydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-pyrazol-1-yl]-phenoxy- acetic acid ethyl ester (IV)

A mixture of III, anhydrous K2CO3 and DMF was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours.  The reaction mixture was diluted with ice cold water. The separated solid was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol.

e. Synthesis of {4-[3-Methyl-5-oxo-4-(4|-aryl-hydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-pyrazol-1-yl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid hydrazides (V)

A mixture of IV and hydrazine hydrate in ethanol was refluxed for five hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured in ice cold water with continuous stirring. The separated solid was filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol. Other members of the series Vwere prepared on the same lines. The reaction scheme is depicted in Scheme 1.

2.1.2. Synthesis of 2-(4-acetyl- -5,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydro-[1,3,4]oxadiazole-2-yl(methyloxyphenyl)-5-methyl-4(aryl hydrazono)- -pyrazol-3-ones (VII)

a. Synthesis of {4-[3- methyl- 5- oxo- 4-(4|-phenyl hydrazono)- 4,5-dihydro-pyrazol-1-yl]-phenoxy}-acetic acid (1-phenyl-ethylidene)-hydrazide (VI)

A mixture of V (0.01 mol) in hot methanol (25 mL), acetophenone (0.01 mol) and a drop of glacial acetic acid were refluxed for 3 hours. The solid separated was filtered, washed with cold methanol and recrystallized from methanol to give VIa. Compounds VI b-h were synthesized on similar lines.

b. Synthesis of 2-(4-acetyl-5,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydro-[1,3,4]oxadiazole-2-yl(methyloxyphenyl)-5-methyl-4(4|-substituted phenyl hydrazono)-pyrazol-3-ones (VII)

A mixture of VIa (0.01 mol) and an excess of acetic anhydride (10 mL) were refluxed for 2 hours.  The excess acetic anhydride was distilled off and the residue was poured on to crushed ice.  The solid obtained was filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from aqueous methanol to get VIIa. The cyclization reaction was extended to other hydrazones VI b–j and in each case the respective compound was isolated. The reaction scheme is given in Scheme 2.

2.2. Antimicrobial activity

a. Antibacterial activity

The antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds (250 μg/mL in DMSO) was preliminarily studied by disc diffusion method. The procedure followed for the disc diffusion method is given below.

A suspension of Staphylococcus aureus was added to sterile nutrient agar at 45oC.  The mixture was transferred into sterile petri-dishes to a depth of 3 mm and allowed to solidify.  Sterile discs of 5 mm in diameter (made of Whatmann Filter paper)were immersed in solutions of synthesized compounds. Sterile discs immersed in DMSO were used as control. Both chemical-treated and DMSO-treated discs were laid down onto bacteria mixed agar plates. The plates were allowed to stand for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation at 37oC for 24 hours and observed for antibacterial activity. The diameter of the zone of inhibition was measured in each plate. The average zone of inhibition was calculated. A similar procedure was adopted for the antibacterial activity studies against other organisms.

b. Antifungal activity

The procedure described above was followed for antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger NCCS 1196 and Candida albicans. Compounds were treated at several different concentrations using DMSO as a solvent. 

c. Determination of Minimum Inhibitor Concentration

The procedure followed to find out MIC by Broth Dilution Method is given below.

Standardized inoculum (matched to McFarland BaSO4 standard) of suspension of organisms was prepared.  A series of glass tubes containing different concentrations of test compounds dissolved in DMSO and spiller in nutrient broth were incubated with one drop of inoculum and shaken gently to mix the contents.  Two growth control tubes were also prepared by mixing 0.1 mL of control and 0.9 mL of sterile saline and its optical density was determined.  The control contained 1 × 10-5 colony forming units /mL which is equivalent to 20 colonies.

Tubes were incubated for 24 hours at 37oC in air.  The turbidity developed in each tube was recorded by UV-Visible spectrophotometer.  The turbidity produced by the broth (without inoculum) was considered as 100 % transparency.  The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was noted as the concentration of the test sample which completely inhibits the growth of the microorganism i.e. 100 % transparency.
