Efficient synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some novel S-β-d-glucosides of 5-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones derivatives.

A series of 3-S-β-d-glucosides-4-arylideneamino-5-aryl-1,2,4-triazoles were rationally designed and synthesized according to the principle of superposition of bioactive substructures by the combination of 1,2,4-triazole, Schiff base and glucosides. The structures of the target compounds have been characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR, MS and HRMS. All the newly synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their antimicrobial activities in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 8099) as well as Monilia albican (ATCC 10231). The bioactive assay showed that most of the tested compounds displayed variable inhibitory effects on the growth of the Gram-positive bacterial strain (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacterial strains (Escherichia coli) and fungal strains (Monilia albican). All the target compounds exhibited better antifungal activity than antibacterial activity. Especially, compounds 6b, 6c, 6f, 6j, 6k and 6l showed excellent activity against fungus Monilia albican with MIC values of 16 μg/mL.
