The research focuses on the synthesis, pharmacological activities, and molecular docking studies of pyrazolyltriazoles as potential anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agents. The purpose of the study was to prepare and evaluate a series of novel pyrazolyl alcohols, pyrazolyl azides, and pyrazolyltriazoles for their bioactivity profile, specifically targeting anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The conclusions drawn from the research indicated that compound 5c exhibited potent anti-bacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus, while compounds 5f, 8b, and 8h demonstrated significant in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. Notably, compound 8h was effective in an in vivo LPS-induced sepsis model in mice, showing a significant reduction in TNF-α levels. The chemicals used in the process included various acetophenones, phenylhydrazine hydrochlorides, Vilsmeier-Haack reagents, sodium borohydride, and a range of alkynes and azides for the synthesis of the target pyrazolyltriazoles, as well as standard drugs like streptomycin and dexamethasone for comparative analysis in the biological assays.

The research focuses on the synthesis, biological evaluation, and QSAR studies of new thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives as potential antimicrobial and antifungal agents. The purpose of the study was to develop new compounds that exhibit excellent activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal species, and to understand their structure-activity relationships. The majority of the synthesized compounds showed promising antimicrobial and antifungal activity, surpassing the potency of control compounds like streptomycin and ampicillin. Particularly, compound 22, with a m-methoxyphenyl group and an ethylenediamine side chain, demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, while compound 15, with a m-methoxyphenyl group and a 2-(2-mercaptoethoxy)ethan-1-ol side chain, showed the best antifungal activity. Both compounds 15 and 22 showed no toxic effects in vitro on HFL-1 human embryonic primary cells and in vivo in the nematode C. elegans at their respective MIC concentrations.
