Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of a New Class of Sulfone Linked Bisheterocycles

A new and novel class of bis(heterocycles) viz., bis pyrroles, pyrrolyl pyrazoles and pyrrolyl isoxazoles are prepared from 1-aroyl-2-styrylsulfonylethenes by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of tosylmethyl isocyanide, diazomethane, nitrile imines and nitrile oxides. The lead compounds are screened for antimicrobial activity.

[1-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-2-butyl-4-chloro-1<i>H</i>-imidazol-5-yl]-4, 5-dihydro-1-phenyl-1<i>H</i>-pyrazole: Synthesis, Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activities

In the present investigation, series of Bis (heterocycle)s bearing pyrazoline in combination of the imidazole derivatives have been synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of N-(nitrobenzyl)-imidazole nitrile imines with different dipolarophiles. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized and screened for analgesic-anti-inflammatory activities and were compared with the standard drugs. The compounds exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Out of the compounds studied 4b, 4d and 4g compounds shown statistically significant activity comparable to the standard drugs Ibuprofen and Aspirin at the same dose.
