Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of novel ethyl 2-(2-(4-substituted)acetamido)-4-subtituted-thiazole-5-carboxylate derivatives

A series of novel molecules containing thiazole ring structure were designed and synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, Mass spectrum and the purity was checked through HPLC analysis. Among these synthesized compounds, 3a-3i and 6a-6c were tested for their antimicrobial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration) against a series of strains of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and against the strains of Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger for antifungal activity respectively. The results of the antimicrobial screening data revealed that most of the tested compounds showed moderate to good microbial inhibitions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
