Fifteen new Quinazoline-benzimidazole hybrids were designed and synthesized, leading to the identification of nine potent antibacterial agents with activity against drug-resistant S. aureus. These compounds showed low toxicity to Vero cells and promising selectivity index, indicating their potential as antimicrobial agents for MDR-S. aureus and Mycobacterial infections.
Owing to the rapid rise in antibiotic resistance, infectious diseases have become serious threat to public health. There is an urgent need to develop new antimicrobial agents with diverse chemical structures and novel mechanisms of action to overcome the resistance. In recent years, Quinazoline-benzimidazole hybrids have emerged as a new class of antimicrobial agents active against S. aureus and M. tuberculosis. In the current study, we designed and synthesized fifteen new Quinazoline-benzimidazole hybrids and evaluated them for their antimicrobial activity against S. aureus ATCC 29213 and M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These studies led to the identification of nine potent antibacterial agents 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8f, 8g, 8h, 8i and 10c with MICs in the range of 4-64 mu g/mL. Further, these selected compounds were found to possess potent antibacterial potential against a panel of drug-resistant clinical isolates which include methicillin and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus. The selected compounds were found to be less toxic to Vero cells (CC50 = 40->= 200 mu g/mL) and demonstrated a favourable selectivity index. Based on the encouraging results obtained these new benzimidazol-2-yl quinazoline derivatives have emerged as promising antimicrobial agents for the treatment of MDR-S. aureus and Mycobacterial infections.
