Abstract

A new series of 1,3,5-triazine incorporating aromatic quinazolinone moieties as a potential antimicrobial agents is reported. The first chlorine group of the cyanuric chloride (1) was replaced by aniline and the second one was replaced by various aromatic amines. The prepared monochlorotriazine was allowed to react with hydrazine and subsequently it was reacted with 2-methyl-4H-benzo[1,3]oxazin-4-one to obtain novel triazine-quinazolinone based hybrids (9a-f). The chemical structure and purity of the hybrid compounds were evaluated by different techniques such as thin layer chromatography, melting point, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), 1H and 13C NMR spectra and elemental analysis. Antimicrobial activity of the hybrid compounds were study by three Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella entritidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocitogenes, Bacillus subtilis) as well as Candida albicansas a yeast-like fungus using the serial broth dilution method. Among them, compound 9d with benzenesulfonamide group showed higher antimicrobial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 16 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 5d, 9a and 9b showed good activity against several tested strains. In addition, docking simulation was perform to position best antibacterial compounds in to the S. aureus dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) active site to determine the probable binding conformations. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
