Abstract

Oxazolidinone, either mononuclear or condensed with other heterocyclics, has established its importance in medicinal chemistry. A variety of biological activities have been reported by oxazolidinone derivatives. The present work describes the synthesis of several oxazolidinone derivatives, 3-(2-(7-chloroquinoline-4-ylamino)ethyl)-2-imino-5-(4-chloro/nitro/methoxy benzylidene)oxazolidin-4-one 4(a–c) and 4-(2-(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)ethyl)-2(4-chloro/nitro/methoxy-benzylidene)-1,6-diox-4,9-di-azaspiro[4,4]nonane-3,8-dione 5(a–c). Synthesized compounds (1, 3, 4a, 5a, and 5c) were screened against bacterial strains such as S. aureus (MTCC 96) and E. coli (MTCC119) and fungal strains A. niger (MTCC 1344) and C. albicans (MTCC 871) compared with penicillin for bacteria and fluconazole for fungi as reference drugs by disk diffusion method. All synthesized compounds were identified by the means of IR, NMR, and MS.

1. Introduction

Oxazolidinone derivatives showed very promising activities like monoamine oxidase A [1], cancer [2], HIV [3] and other interesting medicinal properties like aldose reductase inhibitors [4], metabotropic [5], and glutamate receptor antagonists [6]. The chemical literature is showed that chemistry and psychopharmacological properties of these materials have the great importance in medical chemistry, and this has led to an impressive armory of synthetic routes to be developed for these compounds which have resulted in the accumulation of an enormous volume of patented literature in the last decades [7]. In view of this fact, the compounds belonging to this class could be considered as interesting targets in the synthesis of compounds of medicinal interest [8]. On the other hand, it is well known that oxazolidinone derivatives have a great biological relevance; these compounds carry out diverse biological functions, being present in a number of biological systems involving several biochemist reactions of physiological relevance [9–11]. Although many methods for synthesizing oxazolidinone ring systems have been reported, they continue to receive a great deal of attention. Bacterial and fungal treatment has been a major endeavor of research and development in academic and pharmaceutical industry [12, 13]. Many of the available antimicrobial agents [14] exhibit undesirable side effects such as reduced bioavailability, toxicity [15], and drug resistance [16, 17]. Therefore, the search for novel and selective antimicrobial agents is urgently required due to problems associated with currently available antibacterial and fungal drugs.

Hence the significant rising research interest in the design of oxazolidinones as drugs is currently observed in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry. Our present study focused on the synthesis and antimicrobial activities of novel oxazolidinones having quinoline ring.

The NMR (¹H) spectra were recorded at 300 MHz. NMR spectra were obtained in solutions of CDCL₃ and chemical shifts reported in parts per million (ppm) and TMS as an internal standard. Melting points were determined by open capillary and uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on FT-IR Shimadzu 8400 Spectrophotometer and reported in wave numbers cm⁻¹.

3. Results and Discussion

The key intermediate 1 was prepared by nucleophilic reaction involving 4,7-dichloroquinoline and 1,2-diaminoethane in the presence of ethanol. N¹-(7-Chloroquinoline-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine (1) reacted with chloroacetyl chloride and give 2-chloro-N (2-7-Chloroquinoline-4-ylamino)ethyl) Acetamide (2). Imino-oxazolidi-4-one derivatives(3) was obtained from acetamide (chloroacetanilide) derivatives, by nucleophilic attack of cyanate functional group of potassium cyanate followed by cyclization in dry acetone medium. Imino-5-(4-substituted benzylidene) oxazolidin-4-one derivatives (4a–c) were obtained by the refluxing of substituted aldehydes paracholoro, paranitro, and paramethoxy benzaldehydes with imino oxazolidinone derivatives (3) to generate 4(a–c). Spiro-oxazolidinone derivatives 5(a–c) were obtained by the reaction of imino-5-(4-substituted benzylidene) oxazolidin-4-one derivatives 4(a–c) with glycolic acid in dry benzene medium. The synthetic route of the compounds is outlined in Scheme 1. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H) and mass spectral data.

4. Antimicrobial Activity

Five of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MTCC 96) and E. coli (MTCC119) and antifungal activity against A. niger (MTCC 1344) and C. albicans (MTCC 871) organisms. Disk diffusion method was used for the determination of the preliminary antibacterial and antifungal activities. Penicillin for bacteria and fluconazole for fungi were used as reference drugs. The results depicted in Tables 1 and 2 revealed that most of the tested compounds displayed variable inhibitory effects on the growth of the tested organisms. Regarding the activity of the oxazolidinone derivatives against bacteria, the results revealed that compounds 5c and 4a exhibited broad spectrum of antibacterial profiles against the tested organisms. Regarding the activity of oxazolidinones derivative against antifungal strains the results revealed that compounds 5a and 5c revealed strong growth inhibition against the tested fungi.

5. Conclusion

In conclusion, the objective of the present study was to synthesize and investigate the antimicrobial activities of some new heterocyclic oxazolidinone derivatives. Our aim was to synthesize the compounds by the incorporating oxazolidinones and quinoline nucleus with substituted benzaldehyde into one molecular framework which is view to examine change if any. if such an association could produce a favorable impact on the biological properties in the newer synthetic materials. The obtained results clearly revealed that some of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited better anti microbial activity
