ABSTRACT
Combined nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide [nano (ZnO-TiO(2))] has been reported first time for the synthesis of novel series of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-((5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)thieno[2,3-c]pyridine. All the synthesized compounds (7a-7m) are novel and were screened for their antimicrobial activity against four different strains like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and antifungal activity was determined against two strains Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. SAR for the newly synthesised derivatives has been developed by comparing their MIC values with ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and miconazole for antibacterial and antifungal activities, respectively. Among the synthesized compounds, 2,6 dichlorophenyl analogue (7f), 4 fluorophenyl analogue (7k) and 2,6 dichlorophenyl analogue (7l) shows promising antibacterial as well as antifungal activity whereas thiophene substituted compound (7j) shows promising antibacterial activity.
