The significant antifungal activity of a series of sulfonamide-1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiazole derivatives against a series of micromycetes, compared to the commercial fungicide bifonazole has been reported. These compounds have also shown a comparable bactericidal effect to that of streptomycin and better activity than chloramphenicol against various bacteria. In view of the potential biological activity of members of the 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring systems and in continuation of our search for bioactive molecules, we designed the synthesis of a series of novel sulfonamide-1,2,4-triazoles, -1,3,4-thiadiazoles and -1,3,4-oxadiazoles emphasizing, in particular, on the strategy of combining two chemically different but pharmacologically compatible molecules (the sulfomamide nucleus and the five member) heterocycles in one frame. Synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activity and some analogues exhibited very promising results especially as antifungal agents. In order to explain structure-activity relationships, conformational analysis was performed for active and less active analogues using NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling techniques. Furthermore, molecular properties which can be further used as descriptors for SAR studies, were predicted for the synthesized analogues. In general, antifungal activity seems to depend more on the triazol-3-thione moiety rather than the different length of the alkyl chain substitutions.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
D013830 Thiadiazoles Heterocyclic compounds composed of a five-membered heterocyclic ring which contains one sulfur and two nitrogen atoms. Thiadiazole
D014230 Triazoles Heterocyclic compounds containing a five-membered ring with two carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms with the molecular formula C2H3N3. Triazole
