Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of novel 1,5-diaryl pyrazoles.

Novel 1,5-diaryl pyrazole derivatives viz. 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamides (2a-e, 3, 3a-f), 2-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-yl)thiazoles (6a-c,7, 8, 9a-c, 10, 11) were synthesized by varying the active part (amide group) of pyrazole, characterized using IR, (1)H NMR, mass spectral data and screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (ATTC-25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATTC-25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATTC-27853), Klebsiella pneumonia. Similarly all these compounds were screened for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus (NCIM No. 524), Aspergillus fumigates (NCIM No. 902), Penicillium marneffei and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Interestingly all the synthesized compounds exhibited good antibacterial (except 2a-c, 8, 9a) and antifungal activity (except 2a-c, 6a, 8, 9a). Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
