Abstract:
A series of new dehydroacetic acid chalcone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids as potential antimicrobial agents was designed, synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR and HRMS spectral techniques. All the synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against four bacterial strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two fungal strains (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). The antimicrobial results indicated that some of the compounds showed remarkable activities comparable to the standard drugs. Most of the compounds exhibited better efficacy compared to the DHA, which is itself an antimicrobial agent. The synergistic effect in biological activity was observed when DHA, chalcone and 1,2,3-triazole are conjugated. The molecular modeling studies of compound 5j into E. coli topoisomerase II DNA gyrase B were also performed.

03:05Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
