Nitroimidazole substituted at 2nd position of imidazole showing potent biological activities. Two series of nitroimidazole compounds, 5-(1-(substituted)-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-(furan-2- yl))thiazol-2-amine and 6-(1-(substituted)ethyl)-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H- 1,3,4-thiadiazin-2-amine were synthesized. Synthesized compound were screened against, Clostridium sporogenus and Bacteriodes fragililis. Compound 67-c and 68-c substitued with amino thaidaizine ring showing good activity amongst the series.

Nine nitroimidazoles drugs representing different class were found in the literature to have their respective half wave potential and one electron reduction potential measure under near-identical conditions. The structures of these nine nitroimidazoles were optimized, and resulting physicochemical parameters were regressed against one electron reduction potential (OERPs). A very significant linear correlation (QSAR) was found between OERPs and Extended Huckel Partial Atomic Charges. These findings suggest that it may be possible to estimate OERPs of nitroimidazole in advance to its synthesis. Insofar as the OERPs correlating to DNA damage, radiosensitization efficiency, aerobic cytotoxicity, mutagenicity and hypoxic cytotoxicity; the Extended Huckel Partial Atomic Charges can predict well all these biological activity prior to synthesis of novel nitroimidazoles.

The nitroheterocyclic compounds have proved to be very effective antimicrobial agents and very valuable member of limited armamentarium of antiprotozoal agents. A number of 5-nitoimidazole with substitution at 2-position with various substitutent are found to modify the antibacterial spectrum. Some 2-substituted nitroimidazole analogues were designed, synthesized and characterized. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial sensitivity against Gram-positive anaerobe (C. sporogenus) and Gramnegative anaerobe (B.fragilis) using macro broth dilution method. All the synthesized compounds exhibit good activity at 10 mcg/ml against Gram-negative anaerobe compared to standard control tinidazole and metronidazole, while remain inactive against Gram-positive anaerobe.

The Ni(II) complex of novel, 2-(1-(substituted)-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1-(substituted) ethanone have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, molar conductivity, 1HNMR, MASS. Novel 2-nitroimidazole act as a bidentate ligand through the 3-N of imidazole ring and C=O, at 2-position of nitroimidazole, which coordinate the metal ion give rise to 4-coordinate tetrahedral Ni(II) complex. The in vitro antimicrobial activity was determined by using cylinder plate method. The compounds were found to be more active than ligand against Gram-positive bacteria, B. Pumilus ATCC 14884, S. aureus ATCC 29737 and Gram negative bacteria, S. aboney NCTC 6017. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
