1-Phenyl ethyl substituted tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione derivatives as promising antimicrobial agents

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2022 Mar;35(2(Special)):665-669.

Abstract

Seven derivatives of 1-phenyl ethyl group containing 3,5-disubstituted tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-thiones (THTT) were prepared and examined for their antibacterial and antifungal properties by using Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) and agar tube dilution protocol respectively. In vitro antifungal potential was investigated against five human pathogens and compared with the standard drugs amphotericin B and miconazole. In vitro antibacterial activity was investigated against four pathogens and compared with the ofloxacin. All compounds exhibited very promising antifungal activities against all tested pathogens. Structure activity relationship showed the importance of the presence of 1-phenyl ethyl substituent at N-3 of THTT nucleus for antifungal effects. However, these compounds showed significant antibacterial activity only against S. aureus. The compound 6c of the series was found most active compound that displayed promising antifungal potential against all tested pathogens [Growth Inhibition (GI) = 100%], and also showed promising antibacterial potential against S. aureus (GI% = 83.49) which is very much closer to the standard ofloxacin (GI% = 88.05). The study may be useful in the development of improved antimicrobial agents.
