ABSTRACT:

Heterocyclic compounds especially, five or six-member heterocyclic compounds, having one to three hetero-atoms in their nucleus take part in metabolism of all living cells. And this information gives the lead for synthesizing heterocyclic derivatives. This research work has focused on development of new method for synthesis of some new amino acid substituted 1,2,4-trizole derivative from 1, 3, 4-Oxadizole nucleus. The nucleus of the 1, 3, 4-Oxadizole was first produced by reaction of Isoniazide and 3-chlorobenzeldehyde which is then converted into 1,2,4-trizole derivative by the loss of water molecule. After that incorporation of different amino acid (luecine and glycin) leads new amino acid substituted 1,2,4-trizole derivative. The newly synthesized derivative Compound A1 and A2 were characterized by optical rotation, melting point, TLC, UV spectroscopy and IR. The antibacterial was screened using Disc diffusion method with ciprofloxacin as reference drug and antioxidant activity by in-vitro DPPH method using ascorbic acid as standard drug. Synthesized compound A1 showed maximum MIC against S. aureus as compared to Compound A2. For antioxidant activity, compound A1 showed maximum percentage inhibition as compared to Compound A2.

 

KEYWORDS: 1, 2, 4-Triazole, Anti-bacterial property, Antioxidant, IR, TLC.

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION: 

Drug development is a highly controlled, diverse, creative, and inventive process1. And it is observed that with the help of the microwave-assisted reactions, revolution in organic compound synthesis can promoted2. Green Chemistry includes microwave assisted processes since they decrease reaction time, maximize percent yield, and are environmentally safe. Microwave radiations are types of electromagnetic energy, which lies at the lower end of the electromagnetic energy3. The basic principle behind Microwave-assisted reaction is lies on absorption of microwave energy by the reaction mixture, because of “microwave dielectric heating”.4

 

 

Some Heterocyclic compounds possess central role in pharmacology (antihypertensive, antiviral, antidepressants, and anticancer activity), agricultural (herbicides, and pesticides), and industrial (colorants) fields which increases value of heterocyclic compound in chemistry5.

 

As their name suggests, these are the compound having cyclic ring in their structure that contain at least one hetero (oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur) atom in the ring6. Oxadiazole comes under aromatic heterocyclic molecules which contains N (nitrogen) with O (oxygen) in their five-member cyclic ring. The molecular formula of Oxadiazole is C2H2N2O7. Oxadiazole is available in four different isomers. Among all 1,3,4-oxadiazole possesses therapeutic importance, like Anti-tuberculosis activity, Anti-allergic activity, Anti-viral activity, Muscle relaxants activity etc8-9. The chemistry of Oxadiazole has been thoroughly investigated and is continuously being investigated. The -N=C-O- linkage has biological activity by reacting with the nucleophilic centers of malignant cells10. The ring skeleton has anticancer, antimicrobial, antiallergic anti-inflamatory, anti-fungal11-16. To appreciating the significance of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives with amino acids In-Silico Estimation and Structural Docking Experiments are studied17.

 

Due to its broad biological action, there are already a number of inventions for the synthesis of substituted oxadiazole derivatives such as synthesis of a new family of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles bearing the benzimidazole moiety, new substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol fluoro cinnolin-4-ol, substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative with 2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) phenyl acetate was done by the researcher18-20. Butalamine, Oxolamine, Furamizole, Pleconaril, ABT-751, and Fenadizole are the successfully used Oxadiazole nucleus containing marketed drug which shows various biological activity.21-25

Antibacterial property:

Disc diffusion method was used to measure bacterial static charecterstics of substance. Inoculation of agar plates with standardized inoculums of the Escherichia Coli (gram -ve) and Staphylococcus aureus (gram +ve) was prepared then on the surface of the agar plate, filter paper discs were placed (about 6mm in diameter), which contain the test compound at a 0.1mg/ml concentration. The bacteria was inoculated on the drug plates with various amount of compounds. The agar plates were incubated at 370C for 24 hrs, and the presence or lack of bacterial growth in various plates was detected after 24 hrs. The compounds zone of inhibition was assessed against bacterial strains using ciprofloxacin as a reference drug.

 

Antioxidant property:

Antioxidant investigations were conducted using in vitro methods. 4.8mg of DPPH (1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) was diluted with 20ml methanol, and the test tubes were covered with aluminium foil to shield it from light. For the control reading, 0.1ml of DPPH solution was mixed to 3ml of methanol and the absorbance was measured at 517nm. Different quantities of the chemical under investigation, as well as a standard compound (ascorbic acid), were obtained, and the volume was consistently created using methanol. Each sample was diluted in methanol to a final concentration of 3ml before adding 0.1ml of DPPH. On a UV-visible spectrometer, absorbance was measured after 15 minutes at 517nm using methanol as a blank. The following formula was used to compute the IC50 for each chemical as well as the standard preparation. The formula was used to calculate the DPPH free radical scavenging activity.27

 

% Scavenging = [absorbance of control – absorbance of test sample/absorbance of control] X 100

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

The synthesis of new amino acid substituted 1,2,4-triazole derivatives was carried out. Synthesis starts from the microwave assisted reaction between Isoniazide hydrazide and 3-chlorobenzeldehyde which yield intermediate compound and then with treatment with chloramines-T convert into Oxadiazole nucleus. In final step substitution of different amino acids lead the synthesis of new amino acid substituted 1,2,4-triazole derivatives.

 

Antibacterial characteristics of the compounds were analysed using the disc diffusion method with ciprofloxacin as a control medication, and the screening results of the synthesized compound are shown in (Table 1). Bacterial inoculation was done in agar plate and finally zone of inhibition was measured.

CONCLUSION:

Compounds A1 and A2, which were synthesized by substituting leucine and glycine on the 1,2,4-triazole, were tested for antibacterial and antioxidant properties in vitro. The antibacterial activity was determined by measuring the zone of inhibition in mm against E. coli and S. aureus using the agar disc diffusion method. The antioxidant properties of synthesized compounds were measured using the DPPH radical scavenging method using ascorbic acid as standard medication for antibacterial activity. Solubility, pH melting point, optical rotation, TLC, UV, IR, antibacterial activity, and antioxidant activity were all tested on the produced compounds.

 

In comparison to Compound A2, the synthesized compound A1 had the highest MIC against S. aureus. Compound A1 also has the highest antioxidant activity. By observing this result it is divulged that a heterocyclic nucleus as triazole can have antimicrobial activity.
