摘要

5-Arylthio-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (3a-e) were synthesized and screened for their in-vitro antimicrobial activities. The title compounds were synthesized from the following reactions—the reaction of ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate with hydrazine hydrate formed 4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (1), and 4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenol (2) formed by condensation reaction between compound 1 and carbon disulfide. Compound 2 reacted with different aromatic halides to produce the title compounds. Spectral analysis techniques, including IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy, were used to analyze all of the title compounds. By using the filter paper disc technique, the title compounds’ in-vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive (B. subtilis, S. aureus), and Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) microorganisms. Also, via this technique, the in-vitro antifungal activity was evaluated against Candida albicans. All of the substances exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the examined bacterial and fungal strains.
