Synthesis and characterization of some new quinoline based derivatives endowed with broad spectrum antimicrobial potency

The synthesis of a novel series of 2-(5-(2-chloro-6-fluoroquinolin-3-yl)-3-(aryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4(5H)-ones (4a-l) and N-(4-(2-chloro-6-fluoroquinolin-3-yl)-6-(aryl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-morpholinoacetamides (7a-l) are described in the present paper. The chemical structures of compounds have been elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. Antimicrobial activity was measured against Escherichia coli (MTCC 443), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 1688), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Streptococcus pyogenes (MTCC 442), Candida albicans (MTCC 227), Aspergillus niger (MTCC 282) and Aspergillus clavatus (MTCC 1323) by serial broth dilution. Evaluation of antimicrobial activity showed that several compounds exhibited greater activity than reference drugs and thus could be promising new lead molecules.
