In the present study, a series of novel 6-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(3- chloro-2-oxo-4-phenylazetidin-1-yl)-4-(aryl)nicotinonitriles 6a-o were efficiently synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria and fungal (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus clavatus) strains. The results of antimicrobial study revealed that compounds 6b, 6c, 6d, 6h and 6i exhibited substantial antibacterial activity while compounds 6c and 6h emerged as the most potent antifungal agents compared to the standard drugs chloramphenicol and ketoconazole, respectively. From the standpoint of SAR studies, it was observed that the presence of electron-withdrawing groups remarkably enhances the antibacterial activity of newly synthesized compounds. Further, the results of preliminary MTT cytotoxicity studies on HeLa cells suggested that potent antimicrobial activity of 6b, 6c, 6d, 6h and 6i is accompanied by low level of cytotoxic concentrations. All the newly synthesized analogues were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. Springer Science+Business Media 2013.

A series of 6-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(2-(3-nitrophenyl)-4- oxothiazolidin-yl)-4-(aryl)nicotinonitriles 5a-l were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry techniques. These novel compounds 5a-l were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial and fungal strains and in vitro cytotoxicity study (HeLa cell line) using MTT colorimetric assay. The results demonstrated that compounds 5c , 5e, and 5i-k exhibited excellent antibacterial activity, while compounds 5d, 5i, and 5k were found to be the most potent antifungal agents. From the standpoint of SAR studies, it was observed that the presence of electron donating groups remarkably enhanced the antimicrobial activity of newly synthesized compounds. Further, the results of preliminary MTT cytotoxicity studies on HeLa cells suggested that potent antimicrobial activity of 5c-e and 5i-k was accompanied by low cytotoxicity.
