Abstract

:
A new series of 1,3-thiazole and benzo[d]thiazole derivatives 10–15 has been developed, characterized, and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity at concentrations of 25–200 μg/mL against Gram+ve organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Gram–ve organisms such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and the fungal strain Aspergillus niger (A. niger) by the cup plate method. Ofloxacin and ketoconazole (10 μg/mL) were used as reference standards for antibacterial and antifungal activity, respectively. Compounds 11 and 12 showed notable antibacterial and antifungal activities at higher concentrations (125–200 μg/mL), whereas benzo[d]thiazole derivatives 13 and 14 were found to display significant antibacterial or antifungal activity (50–75 μg/mL) against the Gram+ve, Gram–ve bacteria, or fungal cells used in the present study. In addition, a correlation between calculated and determined partition coefficient (log P) was established which allows future development of compounds within this series to be carried out based on calculated log P values. Moreover, compounds 13 and 14 show that the optimum logarithm of partition coefficient (log P) should be around 4.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Since discovery and development of effective as well as safe drugs has brought a progressive era in human healthcare that is accompanied by the appearance of drug resistant bacterial strains, there is constant need of new antibacterial agent having novel mechanisms of action to act against the harmful pathogens. The 1,3-thiazole heterocycle is an interesting building block in a variety of natural and synthetic compounds found to possess good antibacterial potential [1,2,3]. Especially, compounds containing the 2-substituted benzo[d]thiazole moiety have shown a variety of useful pharmacological actions and many of these have achieved very wide importance in research [4,5,6]. This heterocyclic nucleus is a very important group because of its potent antitumor activity [7,8,9,10] and other significant pharmaceutical utilities, such as treatment of inflammatory diseases, epilepsy, analgesia, viral infections, cancer, and tuberculosis [11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. Encouraged by the above reports and as a part of our ongoing research, the lead compound 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-thiazole has been further developed in the present study to divergent target compounds including substituted 2-phenylbenzo[d]thiazole groups and investigated on their antimicrobial activity [18] (Figure 1).

Moreover, several studies were conducted to relate drugs’ lipophilicity, as indicated by their logarithm of partition coefficients, and antimicrobial action [19,20,21]. If such a correlation could be established, this would shorten the time and efforts in synthesizing new chemical entities with improved antimicrobial action. The results published so far regarding this correlation are conflicting. Therefore it was interesting to study the lipophilicity of the prepared homologous compounds in relation to their antimicrobial activity.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Chemistry: General Procedures for Synthesis

The most common and most versatile procedure for the formation of 1,3-thiazoles is the cyclocondensation of a-haloketones with appropriate thioamide derivatives [22,23] In this study, the reaction of commercially available a-bromoketones 1 and 2 with propionthioamide, benzothioamide, and 4-methoxybenzothioamide under basic conditions furnished the compounds 10–12 respectively (Scheme 1). The formation of benzo[d]thiazoles 13–15 was achieved through a cyclocondensation reaction of corresponding substituted benzoic acid 3a–c and 2-aminothiophenol in the presence of a catalytic amount of polyphosphoric acid [8,24]. Finally, proceeding from the different thiazole derivatives 4–9, methyl ether cleavage with BBr3 in dichloromethane provided the corresponding phenols 10–15 in high yields [25].

2.2. Biological Activity

The 2-ethyl-1,3-thiazole derivative 10 with an extended alkyl chain exhibited low antimicrobial activity (MIC 200 μg/mL) compared to the lead compound (MIC 150–200 μg/mL) and the reference substances ofloxacin and ketoconazole, demonstrating that further lengthening of the alkyl moiety at the 2-position and thereby an increase of lipophilicity did not enhance antimicrobial potency. On the other hand, a minor increase in antimicrobial activity was achieved with the next two compounds, the 2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives 11–12. Among both structural isomers which differ from each other solely in the position of 4-hydroxyphenyl moiety at the heterocycle 1,3-thiazole, compound 12 having a 4-hydroxyphenyl at the 2-position of 1,3-thiazole exhibited a MIC of 125–150 μg/mL against S. aureus, E. coli, and A. niger, whereas 11 having the 4-hydroxyphenyl at the 4-position of 1,3-thiazole exhibited significant lower antimicrobial activity (MIC 150–200 μg/mL) against the tested microorganisms. Major improvement in antimicrobial activity was achieved through structural development of benzo[d]thiazole derivatives 13–15. Compounds 13 and 14 sharing as a common feature the presence of a 4-hydroxyphenyl substituent at the 2-position of the benzo[d]thiazole nucleus displayed promising antibacterial activities (MIC 50–75 μg/mL) against all tested culture strains used in the present study, indicating that a structural modification of 1,3-thiazole heterocyle to benzannelated 1,3-thiazole derivatives positively influenced the antimicrobial activity. In contrast, the antimicrobial results observed for compound 15 (MIC 125 μg/mL) was clearly lower, pointing out that a monohydroxysubstitution is most favorable among the newly developed and tested series (Table 1).

2.3. Lipophilicity and QSAR

A good correlation was found between the experimentally determined partition coefficients and the predicted ones (r = 0.94), as shown in Figure 2. The high lipophilicity of the synthesized compounds (log P 2.98–4.65) promoted us to investigate the possibility of a correlation between the type of chemical substitution and the antimicrobial activity of the title compounds, therefore, the linear regression of the partition coefficient with the biological activity expressed as MIC (μg/mL) for the synthesized compounds were studied.

The results show that correlations between lipophilic properties and MICs against different microbial species are not statistically significant (Figure 3a,b). The results can be explained according to previous studies that attributed poor correlations to the influence from several factors including the fact that not all homologous series will necessarily show correlations [26]. Additionally, the microorganism strains tested and the suggestions that there is an optimum partition coefficient rather than direct correlation may be the reasons for observed results [27]. The current study shows an optimum log partition coefficient around 4, as suggested by compounds 13–14 (calculated and experimentally determined log P is 3.83–4.07).

3.3. Partition Coffeicient Determination

The log partition coefficients of the compounds were determined experimentally (log P) and were also calculated using ALOGPS 2.1 software (Clog P). The experimental log P was determined using the classical shake-flask method employing 1-octanol and aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 7.2). Both experimentally determined and calculated partition coefficients were examined for their correlation with each other and with the observed minimum inhibitory concentrations.

3.4. Antimicrobial Activity

The quantitative in vitro antimicrobial study was carried on Muller-Hinton agar (Hi-media) plates (37 °C, 24 h) by the agar diffusion cup plate method [28]. The compounds (200–25 μg/mL) were screened for antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (S. aureus) (Gram+ve) and Escherchia coli ATCC 35218 (E. coli) (Gram-ve). Antifungal activity was tested on Sabouraud dextrose agar (Hi-media) plates (26 °C, 48–72 h) by the cup plate method against Aspergillus niger A733 (A. niger) also at a concentration level of 200–25 μg/mL. Ofloxacin and ketoconazole were used as standards for comparison of antibacterial and antifungal activity under the similar conditions. DMF was used as a solvent control for both antibacterial and antifungal activities, and the results are presented in minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) values (μg/mL).

4. Conclusions

The new compounds 10–16 presented here obviously differ in their corresponding antimicrobial activity depending on the type of the heterocycle and the position of substituents. In the course of this study, derivative 12 possessing a 4-hydroxyphenyl group at the 2-position of the 1,3-thiazole moiety in particular was identified as showing moderately enhanced antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (Gram positive) and E. coli (Gram negative) bacteria and antifungal activity against A. niger, as compared to its structural isomer 11. Moreover, structural development of benzannelated 1,3-thiazoles led to benzo[d]thiazole derivatives 14 and 15 with significantly improved in vitro antibacterial activity. A relationship could not be established between the compounds partition coefficient and the antibacterial activity, although an optimum log P of approximately 4 was observed which could be used to generate further structural optimization among this series. These results, combined with the potential benefits or at least differences in pharmacokinetics make the title 1,3-thiazole and benzo[d]thiazole classes interesting leads for future study of their mechanism of action and detailed structure-activity relationship studies. One can conclude that a comprehensive study by using new potent compounds of this series should be conducted in order to obtain more significant correlations between the chemical structures of the compounds and their antimicrobial activity.
