Synthesis, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of pyridyl substituted thiazolyl triazole derivatives

In this present study, 63 different 5-[4-methyl-2-(pyridin-3/4-yl)thiazole-5-yl]-4-substituted-3-substituted benzylthio-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against various human pathogenic microorganisms and antioxidant activity. The derivatives were synthesized in a multi-step synthesis procedure including triazole and thiazole ring closure reactions, respectively. The synthesized derivatives (A1-24; B1-39) were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities compared to standard agents. The derivatives possessing 3-pyridyl moiety particularly exhibited relatively high antibacterial activity (MIC= < 3.09-500 µg/mL) against Gram-positive bacteria, and compounds possessing 4-pyridyl moiety showed remarkable antioxidant activity

Síntese de heteroaril oxazolinas e derivados triazólicos com potencial atividade biológica / Synthesis of heteroaryl oxazolines and triazolic derivatives with potential biological activity

Fungos no ambiente podem ser patogênicos ou oportunistas, dependendo da imunidade do hospedeiro. Existem várias espécies de fungos, por exemplo, Cândida albicans, Cryptococcus e Aspergillus. A primeira espécie fúngica pode ser tratada com o antifúngico fluconazol, que é um composto que contém anéis heterocíclicos 1,2,4-triazólicos. Além disso, existem cepas de fungos que são resistentes à terapia com fluconazol, que é o caso das Cândida krusei, Cândida tropicalis; entre outras. A busca por novos tratamentos envolve o desenvolvimento de novas moléculas sintéticas. Neste trabalho, sintetizamos uma biblioteca de compostos oxazolínicos e seus derivados 1,2,3-triazólicos. A atividade microbiológica foi avaliada contra 10 tipos de Cândida, 2 tipos de Cryptococcus e 2 tipos de Aspergillus. Além disso, foram feitos os testes de hemólise, citotoxicidade, combinações de drogas e permeabilidade de membrana. Os resultados sugerem um alto potencial terapêutico dos compostos e os propomos como potenciais novos antifúngicos

ungi in the environment may be pathogenic or opportunistic depending on the immune status of the host. There are several species of fungi, for example, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus and Aspergillus. The first fungal species can be treated with the antifungal fluconazole, which is a compound containing 1,2,4-triazole heterocyclic rings. In addition, there are strains of fungi that are resistant to fluconazole therapy, which is the case of Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis; among others. The search for new treatments involves the development of new synthetic molecules. In this work, we synthesized a library of oxazoline compounds and their 1,2,3-triazole derivatives. Microbiological activity was evaluated against 10 types of Candida, 2 types of Cryptococcus and 2 types of Aspergillus. In addition, hemolysis, cytotoxicity, drug combinations and membrane permeability were performed. The results suggest the high therapeutic potential of the compounds and we propose them as potential new antifungals

UV Spectrophotometric method for determination of posaconazole: comparison to HPLC

The aim of this work was to develop a simple, fast and reproducible spectrophotometric method for the analysis of posaconazole in raw material. The established conditions were: methanol as extracting solvent, detection wavelength of 260 nm, Shimadzu double beam spectrophotometer 1800 model with 1 cm quartz cells. Linearity was demonstrated in the concentration range of 5.0 a 25.0 µg/mL (r = 0.9999). Reproducibility and intermediate precision were confirmed by low RSD values (0.49 to 0.82%). Accuracy, evaluated through recovery test, was adequate, with 98.20% of mean recovery. Specificity and robustness were also demonstrated. The mean amount found for samples was 100.82%. The proposed method was considered suitable for the intended purpose, mainly in routine analysis of quality control laboratories. When compared to the previously developed HPLC, no statistical difference was observed, what made the UV spectrophotometric method a reliable alternative.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um método espectrofotométrico simples, rápido e reprodutível para a análise de posaconazol na matéria-prima. As condições estabelecidas foram: metanol como solvente extrator, comprimento de onda de 260 nm e espectrofotômetro de duplo feixe Shimadzu, modelo 1800, com cubetas de quartzo de 1 cm. A linearidade foi demonstrada na faixa de concentração de 5,0 a 25,0 µg/mL (r = 0,9999). A reprodutibilidade e a precisão intermediária foram confirmadas pelos baixos valores de desvio padrão relativo (0,49 a 0,82%). A exatidão, avaliada pelo teste de recuperação, foi adequada, com recuperação média de 98,20%. A especificidade e a robustez também foram demonstradas. O teor médio encontrado nas amostras foi de 100,82%. O método proposto foi considerado adequado, principalmente para a análise de rotina em laboratórios de controle de qualidade. Quando comparado com o método por HPLC, não houve diferença estatística, o que torna o método por espectrofotometria UV uma alternativa segura.

Tratamiento de las onicodistrofias micóticas con dos esquemas posológicos de itraconazol / Onychomycosis: treatment with a two posologic schedule of Itraconazole

Se exponen los resultados clínico-micológicos de 40 enfermos con distrofias ungueales micóticas, tratados con dos esquemas posológicos de itraconazol. La eficacia fue buena en ambos grupos aunque demostró ser mejor el esquema posológico de mayor dosis diaria (200mg) y menor tiempo de administración (3 meses) lo que condujo a que la totalidad de los pacientes completaran el lapso terapéutico (90% de cultivos nagativizados y 71.5% de remisión clínica). La tolerancia fue excelente, no se observaron efectos colaterales clínicos ni reacciones adversas de acuerdo con los resultados de los análisis de laboratorio
