The past two decades have been marked by a global spread of bacterial resistance to β-lactam drugs and carbapenems derivatives are the ultimate treatment against multidrug-resistant bacteria. β-lactamase expression is related to resistance which demands the development of bacterial resistance blockers. Drug inhibitor combinations of serine-β-lactamase and β-lactam were successful employed in therapy despite their inactivity against New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM). Until now, few compounds are active against NDM-producing bacteria and no specific inhibitors are available yet. The rational strategy for NDM inhibitors development starts with in vitro assays aiming to seek compounds that could act synergistically with β-lactam antibiotics. Thus, eight thiosemicarbazone derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their ability to reverse the resistant phenotype in NDM in Enterobacter cloacae. Phenotypic screening indicated that four isatin-beta-thiosemicarbazones showed Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) ≤ 250μM in the presence of meropenem (4 μg/mL). The most promising compound (FIC= 31.25 μM) also presented synergistic effect (FICI = 0.34). Docking and molecular dynamics studies on NDM-thiosemicarbazone complex suggested that 2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one subunit interacts with catalytic zinc and interacted through hydrogen bonds with Asp124 acting like a carboxylic acid bioisostere. Additionally, thiosemicarbazone tautomer with oxidized sulfur (thione) seems to act as a spacer rather than zinc chelator, and the aromatic moieties are stabilized by pi–pi and cation–pi interactions with His189 and Lys221 residues. Our results addressed some thiosemicarbazone structural changes to increase its biological activity against NDM and highlight its scaffold as promising alternatives to treat bacterial resistance.

Several 2-substituted arylamino-5-(2′-furyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-c] thiazoles have been synthesised by cyclisation of 3-substituted aryl thiocarbanilido-2-(2′-furyl)thiazolidin-4-ones with cone. H 2SO4 with constant stirring in cold and 5-substituted aryl-2-substituted arylamino-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-c]thiazoles have been synthesised by the cyclisation of 2-substituted aryl-3-substituted arylthiourido-thiazolidin-4-ones with cone. H2SO4 with constant stirring in cold and screened for their antifungal activities against Helminthosporium oryzae and Cephalosporium sacchari.

A novel and efficient procedure for the synthesis of thiosemicarbazones has been achieved via a multicomponent and catalyst-free reaction of phenyl or p-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate, hydrazine, and aldehydes or ketones. The method afforded 20 thiosemicarba

[N-(2-pyridyl)-N'-(4-(un) substituted] thioureas and (substitutedaryl)thiosemicarbazones were synthesised and evaluated for their antibacterial activity. All aryl thiosemicarbazones showed good activity against Aeromonas hydrophilia and Salmonella typhimuriurn. But none of the pyridyl thioureas showed any prominent activity against tested bacteria.
