Tuberculosis (TB) is still a demanding worldwide health problem and mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains one of the most toxic human pathogens. In pursuit of searching new antitubercular and antimicrobial agents, substituted coumarin and phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolidine‐3‐thiones 4a‐i and 5a‐e have been synthesized and evaluated for their antitubercular and antimicrobial activities. Most of the Substituted coumarin and phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolidine‐3‐thiones showed promising activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv). The title compounds have exhibited excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against the S.aureus, Bacillus sps and E.coli with the values of low MIC ranging from of 0.4 to 1.6 μg/mL. In vitro antifungal activity shown that the compounds 4a‐i and 5a‐e are excellent antifungal agents against Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigate fungal stains with the values of low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 0.4 to 6.25 μg/mL. Molecular docking study was performed for all the synthesized compounds with E.coli as antibacterial and Mycobacterium tuberculosis DprE1 as antituberculosis.

The reaction of a multi-substituted pyrazole 1 with aryl or heteroaryl aldehydes and active methylene compounds afford unexpected pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives 4(a-k). Mechanism for this unexpected reaction involving reactivity of the active methylene moiety with a neighboring endocyclic NH group is proposed and structure has been established by the NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Moreover, all the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their anticancer activity against sixty human cell lines at NCI. Among all the compounds, three scaffolds 4d, 4 h and 4k showed enhancement in anticancer activity in comparison with remaining synthesized compounds. Interestingly compound 4k was found to highly active even at a five dose concentration. The IC 50 values were determined against two cell lines MCF-7 and HepG2, the results obtained have shown promising effects against cancer cell lines. Further, the molecular docking studies revealed that substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives are good candidates in the medicinal field.
