A series of aminoguanidine derivatives containing an acylhydrazone moiety was designed based on combination principles to find new antibacterial agents with wide spectra and high activities. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral methods and screened for their antibacterial activity. The results showed that several compounds provided great antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacteria (including the multidrug-resistant clinical isolates). Especially, this series of compounds presented high potency against Staphylococcus aureus, among which the derivative 3f was the most promising one with a MIC value of 4 μg/mL. Compound 3d, with a tertiary butyl group, was found to have the broad spectrum inhibitory capacity, which is effective to eight strains and showed the most potent inhibitory activity against B. subtilis CMCC 63501 with a MIC value of 4 μg/mL. What’s more, compound 3d also presented high activities against four multidrug-resistant strains, which were comparable or potent to oxacillin and penicillin. Molecular docking studies revealed that H-bond interaction with amino acid residue THR81 and alkyl hydrophobic interaction with residue ALA246 of FabH were crucial for their binding force and in-vitro antimicrobial activities.

A series of 3-alkoxy-4-(4-(hexyloxy/heptyloxy) phenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole was synthesized. The anticonvulsant effect and neurotoxicity of the compounds were calculated with maximal electroshock (MES) test and rotarod tests with intraperitoneally injected mice. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 3-heptyloxy-4-(4-(hexyloxy) phenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (5f) was the most active one and also had the lowest toxicity. In the anti-MES potency test, it showed median effective dose (ED50) of 37.3mg/kg, median toxicity dose (TD50) of 422.5 mg/kg, and the protective index (PI) of 11.3 which is much greater than the reference drug carbamazepine with PI value of 6.4. As well as demonstrating the anti-MES efficacy of compound 5f, its potency against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and bicuculline were also established, with the results suggesting that GABA-mediated mechanisms might be involved in its anticonvulsant activity, such as enhancing of GABAergic neurotransmission or activity, activate GAD or inhibit GABA-T, and GABAA-mediated mechanisms.

Epilepsy is the most frequnt nearological affiction and afflicts 1% about of the worlds population. Currently there is an urgent need for the development of novel anticonvulsants with higher levels of potency and lower levels of toxicity. In this paper, a series of new 6-(substituted-phenyl)thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested for their anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) screens, which are the most widely employed seizure models for early identification of candidate anticonvulsants. Their neurotoxicity was determined applying the rotarod test. In these compounds, 6-(4-fluorophenyl)thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole (3c) showed selective protection against the MES seizures with an ED50 value of 49.1 mg/kg and a TD50 value of 94.1 mg/kg, which provided compound 3c a protective index (PI = TD50/ED50) of 1.9 in the MES test. 6-(4-Propoxyphenyl)thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole (5b) was found to be active in both models, i.e. MES test and PTZ test. In the PTZ screen, compound 5b gave an ED50 of 63.4 mg/kg and a TD50 of 105.6 mg/kg, resulting in a PI value of 1.7 which is higher than carbamazepine.
