The research focuses on the synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a new series of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives. The purpose of the study was to prepare a series of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (1a–g) using Hantzsch syntheses and then react these compounds with thiosemicarbazide to yield a new series of compounds (2a–g). The synthesized compounds were confirmed through IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis. The research aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of these compounds, with a particular interest in their potential as vasodilators, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and calcium channel modulators. The conclusions drawn from the study indicated that compound 2c exhibited higher activity than ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus, and compound 2d showed greater activity than clotrimazole against Candida albicans, suggesting potential for further investigation in the field of antimicrobial agents.

The research explores the development of new antimicrobial compounds. The study aims to address the increasing resistance of bacteria and fungi to existing antimicrobial agents by synthesizing and evaluating the antimicrobial activity of novel spiroisoxazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]thiadiazole-2,2′-thiazolidine-4′-ones (9a–9e) and spiroisoxazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]oxadiazole-2,2′-thiazolidine-4′-ones (12a–12e). The synthesis involved key chemicals such as 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole, aryl isothiocyanates, aryl isocyanates, and mercaptoacetic acid. The compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against various bacterial and fungal strains, showing significant antimicrobial activity compared to standard drugs like Cipro?oxacin and Clotrimazole. The study concludes that these novel compounds, featuring isoxazole–thiadiazole–thiazolidone and isoxazole–oxadiazole–thiazolidone ring systems, have promising potential as new antimicrobial agents, particularly those with specific substituents on the benzene ring, such as chloro, methoxy, and bromo groups.
