Utilization of 2-cyano-N-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl) acetamide for the synthesis of thiazole, pyrazole and pyridene derivatives with a biological evaluation.

A range of fused heterocyclic compounds are generated utilizing the crucial intermediary 2-cyano-N-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl) acetamide 4. Spectral analysis was executed to support the structures of the newly synthesized compounds, which is expected to have a potential biological activity. The antimicrobial activity of the recently synthesized compounds and their derivatives has been tested against B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium, C. albicans, and A. niger, as reference antibiotics, ampicillin and mycostatin, were used against test bacteria and fungi, respectively. In general, the novel produced compounds demonstrated a good antibacterial action against the previously indicated pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
