SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVES OF ISOQUINOLINE, DICARBOXYLIC ACID IMIDES AND THIOIMIDES AS BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS
Abstract:
This study is a continuation of a research program aimed at identifying potent drugs against bacterial infections, in which a series of organic compounds: dicarboxylic acid imides and thioimides, isoquinoline derivatives and open chain compounds, were examined for antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus auneus and Escheiichia coli. In effect of this investigation, the most active compounds (35-40, 47) were selected for in vitiv tests against fourteen clinically important pathogenic isolates, the methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aueus (MRSA) and several reference Gram-negative bacteria: Prteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Stenonophoinonas inaltophilia, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The obtained data revealed that seven compounds (three dithioimides, 35, 39, 47, and four thioimides, 36-38, 40) exhibit effective antibacterial activity against the tested Staphylococcus auirus MSSA and MRSA strains. Among them, dicarboxylic acid thioimides 37 and 38 were proven to be the most active.

The relative acidic strength of the derivatives can be explained based on the extent of resonance stabilization of the conjugate base. The...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
