SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIFUNGAL, CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF SOME ASYMMETRIC 2-METHYLIMIDAZOLE-4,5-DICARBOXAMIDE DERIVATIVES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Imidazole is a heterocyclic structure that has been received much attention in pharmaceutical chemistry and has been appeared in many compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. We chose to study 2-methylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamide and evaluate the antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic activities of those derivatives. Objectives: Synthesis of asymmetric 2-methylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamides and screening the antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic activitives of these derivatives. Materials and methods: The asymmetric 2-methylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamides were synthsized from 2-methylbenzimidazole through 2 steps: Sythesis of imidazole dicarboxylic acid and synthesis of diamid. The structures of all synthethic compounds were confirmed by melting point, IR spectrum, MS spectrum, 1H-NMR spectrum. The antibacterial, antifungal activity was screened using well diffusion method on agar. The cytotoxic activity was screening using MTT method. Results: Four asymmetric 2-methylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamides were synthesized with medium yields (25-37% for the last step). These compounds showed no antibacterial and antifungal activities on tested species. They also showed no cytotoxic activity. Conclusion: Four asymmetric 2-methylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamides have no antibacterial and antifungal activities on tested species and no cytotoxic activities on tested cell lines.
