Five thiourea derivative ligands and their Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes have been synthesized. The compounds were screened for their in vitro anti-bacterial activity using Gram-positive bacteria (two different standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Esherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter aerogenes) and in vitro anti-yeast activity (Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis). The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined for all ligands and their complexes. In vitro anti-yeast activity of both ligands and their metal complexes is greater than their in vitro anti-bacterial activity. The effect of the structure of the investigated compounds on the antimicrobial activity is discussed.
A number of N-(arylcarbamothioyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide derivatives (aryl substituents: phenyl, 2-chlorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, o-tolyl, p-tolyl, 3-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl and naphthalen-1yl) have been synthesized. The compounds obtained were characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. N-(naphthalen-1-ylcarbamothioyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide, H2L9, was also characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. This compound, C18H20N2OS, crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pī, with Z = 2, and unit cell parameters a = 6.9921(14) Å, b = 11.002(2) Å, c = 12.381(3) Å, α = 113.28(3)°, β = 99.38(3)°, and γ = 101.85(3)°. The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. The molecular conformation of the compound is stabilized by an intramolecular (N2-H2•••O1) hydrogen bond which forms a pseudo-six-membered ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
