dc.description.abstract | This paper describes the semi-synthesis and anti-microbial activity of novel
pyrazoline derivatives of
Polygonum senegalense
chalcones. The study
was carried out on the understanding that heterocycles with pyrazoline
ring systems are known to possess a broad spectrum of biological activities.
The derivatives were afforded by refluxing mixtures of chalcones and phen
-
ylhydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, and / or acetic acid in DMSO or ethanol
at low temperatures between 40-60°C in an oil-bath. The products were
characterized in by
1
H-NMR (200 or 400 MHz),
13
C-NMR spectroscopy
and ESI-HRMS. NMR data was described in detail for each derivative.
The compounds
6-15
have been screened for their
in vitro
anti-bacterial
activity against one gram positive bacteria (
S. aureus
) and anti-fungal activity
against five strains
C. krusei
,
C. neoformans,
and
C. glabrata.
They all
showed insignificant antimicrobial activities with lower IC
50
as compared
to positive control, except compound
7
that demonstrated moderate anti-
fungal activity with IC
50
values ranging between 8.01 - 13.74 μg/mL against C. krusei
,
C. neoformans
and
C. glabrata
. The compound also showed anti-
bacterial activity of IC
50
value 7.56μg/mL against
S. aureus
. Based on these
findings, we recommend that compound
7
should undergo further structural
modification in order to optimize its anti-microbial activity. Aromatic, Exudate, Heterocyclic, Pharmacologica | en_US |
