A mixture of arylidene malononitrile Ic (0.01 mol) and thiocya-
noacetamide II (0.01 mol) in ethanol (50 ml) was refluxed in the pre-
sence of catalytic amounts of piperidine for 3 h. The solvent then was
removed and the solid product, formed after the addition of diluted
hydrochloric acid, was collected by filtration, washed with water and
then recrystallized from ethanol. IR(KBr), cm−1: 3350,3206 (NH2);

2.2.4. Synthesis of CS−DATPa−c nanocomposites
Thienopyridine derivatives DATPa−c (0.0011 mol) was added to CS
solution (1 g in 80 ml of 1% acetic acid) with stirring for 30 min. Then
TPP (sodium tripolyphosphate) (1 g in 5 ml of water) was added during
sonication for 15 min followed by stirring for 2 h. The products were
separated using a centrifuge and dried at 40 °C.
2.2.2. General procedure for the preparation of compounds IVa−c
Pyridinethiones (0.01 mol) was stirred at room temperature in DMF
(7 ml) and KOH (10%, 2.7 ml) for 1 h. To this solution, ethyl chlor-
oacetate (0.02 mol) was added dropwise with keeping the temperature
at 25 °C. The reaction was monitored using TLC and at the end of the
reaction, H2O (5 ml) was added. The solid product formed was filtered

off and washed with ethanol to give IVa−c
.
The release study was carried out as follows: About 50 mg the
sample was added to the buffer (50 ml) and the system was maintained
at 37 °C throughout the study. A certain amount of the release medium
was collected at appropriate intervals and the amount of drug was
detected using a UV spectrometer at 378 nm. The percentage of drug
release was calculated according to Equation (1).

2.4. Antibacterial activity
The groups of bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeuroguinsa
(Gram-negative bacteria) and staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus fae-
calis (Gram-positive bacteria) were used to investigate the antibacterial
activities of the thienopyridines and their nanocomposites. Cut plug
method, recorded by Pridham et al. 1956 [24], was used as follows:
Freshly prepared spore suspension of different test microorganisms
(0.5 ml of about 106 cells/ml) was mixed with 9.5 ml of nutrient agar
medium (for bacteria) at 45 °C, poured on sterile Petri dishes, and left to
solidify at room temperature. Regular wells were made in the in-
oculated agar plates by a sterile cork borer of 0.7 mm diameter. Each
well was filled with 20 mg of each tested powder. Three replicas were
made for each test, and all plates were incubated at 32 °C for 24 h for
bacteria. Then the average diameters of inhibition zones were recorded
in centimeters and compared for all plates. MIC (minimal inhibitory
concentration) was measured as follows: Half-fold serial dilutions were
made for selected compounds to prepare concentrations of 10–70 mg/
ml in distilled water and zero concentration was considered as a ne-
gative control. A previously prepared pure spore suspension of each test
microorganism (0.5 ml of about 106 cells/ml) was mixed with 9.5 ml of
each concentration in sterile test tubes, incubated at 32 °C for 24 h for
bacteria, then optical density of growth was measured by spectro-
photometer (Optima SP-300, Japan) at 620 nm for each incubated
mixture, results were represented graphically, and MIC was recorded
for each tested material [25].
