SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF IMIDAZOLE DERIVED CHALCONES AND IT’S PYRIMIDINES

Microbial contribution increasing rapidly due to invasion by the pathogenic organisms like bacteria, fungi and virus in the present disease burden of human health. To treat these diseases many potent and broad spectrum antibiotics were discovered e.g., ampicillin, amoxicillin, carbenicillin, ofloxacin and tetracycline etc., Even though antibiotics are life saving drugs in therapeutics but they are potentially harmful. These harmful effects include allergic and anaphylactic reaction, development of resistance, destruction of normal non-pathogenic bacterial flora and selective toxicity like aplastic anemia, kidney damage. As the microbial resistance make anti-microbial therapy very complex, there is a definite need of novel anti-microbials or drugs for combination therapy with standard antibiotics. Our aim was to synthesize and explore the anti-microbial activity of chalcones and its derived pyrimidines against various pathological micro organisms. Novel imidazole derived chalcones were synthesized and characterization was carried out by analyzing melting point, IR, 1H NMR data. The synthesized chalcones and pyrimidines are tested for their antimicrobial activity against various bacteria as well as fungi. Further synthesis of novel heterocyclic chalcones, structural elucidation, spectral analysis, biological activity of synthesized chalcones and its derived pyrimidines gives a hope for enhanced biological action using QSAR Studies
