Abstract

The synthesis of 10 novel 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives have been undertaken by involving Biginelli type three components reaction of 1-phenyl-3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes, 3-amino- 1,2,4-triazole and ethyl acetoacetate in DMF. The structure of all the compounds have been established by IR, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectra and elemental analyses. The antimicrobial activity against S. aureus MTCC-96 (Gram positive), E. coli MTCC-443 (Gram negative) and antifungal activity against A. niger MTCC-282 and C. albicans MTCC-227 at different concentrations using micro-dilution broth method according to NCCLS standards. The antimicrobial activity was compared with ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, nystatin and greseofulvin as standard drugs at same different concentration. The compounds such as A-2, A-4, A-5, A-6, A-8, A-9, A-10 showed moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) at the concentration of 250, 100, 250, 200, 250, 250, 250 μg/mL while compounds A-3 and A-6 showed remarkable antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes (Gram positive) at the concentration of 100 μg/mL. Moreover, the compounds A-3 and A-9, found to be potent against Escherichia coli (Gram negative) at the concentration of 62.5, 62.5 (μg/mL) and against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative) with the concentration of 100 μg/mL.
