A series of thiazole clubbed 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (5a-l) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectral analysis. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. The results indicated that, compounds 5c and 5i exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity. Compound 5f was found to be the most potent antifungal agent. The structure activity relationship revealed that the presence of electron withdrawing groups at para position of phenyl ring remarkably enhanced the antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds. Further, the results of preliminary MTT cytotoxicity studies on HeLa cells suggested that potent antimicrobial activity of 5b, 5c, 5f, 5h and 5i is accompanied by low cytotoxicity.

3-(Aryl)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-{2-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-oxo(3-hydroquinazolin-3yl)]ethyl}-3-hydroquinazolin-4-ones had been selected as target bio-active molecules. Several quinazoline derivatives were prepared by using anthranilic acid, acid chloride, 2-amino-ethanol, and different amines. Newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus pyogenes, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus. The compounds 5e, 5g, and 5h are shown to have excellent activity, while 5c, 5d, 5i, 5k, 5l are shown to have very good activity against several strains of bacteria. The structures of the synthesized compounds were firmly established by well-defined spectral analysis techniques like IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and Mass spectra.

In an effort to find a new pharmacologically dynamic molecule, we report here the synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of various N-(4-methyl-5-(4-((substituted phenylamino) methyl)-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thiazol-2-yl) benzamides. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were assigned on the bases of IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and mass spectral data. Synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities on gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes), gramnegative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus clavatus) by serial broth dilution method. Compounds 5e and 5k were associated with considerable potential antibacterial and compounds 5a and 5b antifungal activities.
