Two different series of N-substituted imidazolium oximes and their monoquaternary salts were synthesized and biologically tested with respect to their ability to inhibit growth a diverse panel of antibiotic susceptible Gram-positive and antibiotic resistant Gram-negative bacteria as well fungal strains. The newly synthesized compounds were analyzed by spectral studies to confirm their structure. The preliminary results showed that all compounds tested possess promising antimicrobial potential against both susceptible Gram-positive and antibiotic resistant Gram-negative isolates, exhibiting a wide range of MIC values from 0.14 to 100.0 μg/mL. The structure-activity relationship demonstrates that the p-methylphenyl and p-fluorophenyl groups in monoquaternary salts 6 and 7 attached directly to the imidazolium ring could be essential for observed remarkable inhibitory profiles against clinically important pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC = 0.14 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC = 1.56 μg/mL). Furthermore, the broth microdilution assay was then used to investigate the antiresistance efficacy of compound 7 against fourteen extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains in comparison to eight clinically relevant antibiotics. Compound 7 exhibited a remarkable antiresistance profiles ranging between 0.39 and 12.50 μg/mL against all of ESBL-producing strains, which leads to the suggestion that may be interesting candidate for development of new antimicrobials to combat multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

New mechanochemical pathways for the transformation of six N-heterocyclic carbonyl compounds into oximes using hydroxylamine hydrochloride were explored. Reactions were performed first without any base since the heterocyclic moieties (imidazole, benzimidazole, pyridine and quinuclidine) have an intrinsic basic nitrogen atom. This green, solvent free method was suitable for all compounds (up to quantitative yields) except for N-benzyl substituted imidazole and benzimidazole-2-carbaldehyde. For the slower reacting aldehydes, reactions with liquid assisted grinding and addition of sodium hydroxide were performed as well. Conformational analysis and quantum-chemical calculations revealed steric and electronic reasons for the lower reactivity of N-benzyl substituted derivatives.

Structure-activity relationships (SAR) were determined for novel multisubstrate inhibitors of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH; EC 1.14.17.1) by examining the effects upon in vitro inhibitory potencies resulting from structural changes at the copper-binding region of inhibitor.Attempts were made to determine replacement groups for the thione sulfur atom of the prototypical inhibitor 1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)imidazole-2-thione described previously.The synthesis and evaluation of oxygen and nitrogen analogues of the soft thione group demonstrated the sulfur atom to be necessary for optimal activity.An additional series of imidazole-2-thione relatives was prepared in an effort to probe the relationship between the pKa of the ligand group and inhibitor potency.In vitro inhibitory potency was shown not to correlate with ligand pKa over a range of approximately 10 pKa units, and a rationale for this is advanced.Additional ligand modifications were prepared in order to explore bulk tolerance at the enzyme oxygen binding site and to determine the effects of substituting a six-membered ligand group for the five-membered imidazole-2-thione ligand.
