| A series of new alkyl or aryl sulfanyltetrazole derivatives containing
dithiocarbamate moiety (5a–6e) were synthesized. The structures of
the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra,
and elemental analysis data. The present study examines the
antibacterial potential of novel synthetic sulfanyltetrazole compounds
against clinically important gram-positive and -negative strains. The
results of screening showed that attachment of dithiocarbamate to
sulfanyltetrazole derivatives results in enhancement of antibacterial
activity. The compound 6d showed the best activity among the tested
compounds. Also, the less polar 2,5-disubstituted sulfanyltetrazole
regioisomers showed an increased antibacterial activity compared
with the corresponding more polar regioisomers. |
