221 Antifungal Activity The antifungal activity againstAspergillus spp was evaluated by different methods [21ndash23]

that is disc diffusion assay (DDA) microbroth dilution assay(MDA) and percent spore germination inhibition (PSGI)The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values ofAmphotericin B (Amp B) and Nystatin (NYS) against allthe three Aspergillus species were found to be 075 120583gdiscand 100 120583gdisc respectively by DDA and 195 120583gmL and390 120583gmL respectively by MDA and PSGI The MIC of 5ccompound was 4675 120583gdisc against all the tested isolatesof Aspergillus spp by DDA whereas 5j compound possessesa slight higher MIC against A flavus and A niger that is1875 120583gdisc but against A fumigatus it possesses the sameMIC that is 4675120583gdisc The MIC of 5c by MDA andPSGI was found to be 2500 120583gmL against A fumigatus and5000 120583gmL againstA flavus andA nigerTheMIC of 5jwasfound to be 5000 120583gmL against A fumigatus and A flavusand 1000 120583gmL against A niger respectively by MDA andPSGI (Table 2)

Results revealed that the synthesized compounds 5c and5j exhibited mild antifungal activity which is lower thanthe standard drugs Some other substituted pyrimidines andpyrazoles have earlier been reported as potent antifungalagents against a number of pathogenic fungi alone and incombination [24 25]

As these compounds showed promising activity so wefurther tried these compounds in combination with standardantifungal drugs to evaluate their synergistic behaviour ifanyTherefore the compounds 5c and 5jwere tried for in vitrocombination with polyenes and azoles

(1) In Vitro Combination Study of Pyrimidine Pyrazole Ana-logues (5c and 5j) with Antifungal Drugs Among the humanpathogenic species of Aspergillus A fumigatus is the primarycausative agent of human infection followed by A flavusand A niger [23] Therefore A fumigatus [ITCC 4517 (IARIIndian Agricultural Research Institute Delhi) ITCC 1634clinical isolate VPCI 19096 (VPCI Vallabhbhai Patel ChestInstitute Delhi)] was selected for in vitro combination studyof pyrimidine pyrazole analogues with antifungal drugsThe data of in vitro combination was analysed by FractionInhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) model [24] and sum-marized in Tables 3ndash6

(11) In Vitro FIC Index of 5c with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) In combination of Amp B and NYS with5c the FICI values were found to be in the range of 08 to 103indifference (IND) was declared against A fumigatus strains(Table 3)TheMIC end point value of 5c reduced from 31498to 7871250 120583gmL But the MIC of Amp B and NYS almostremains the same that is 196 120583gmL and 312 120583gmL

The combination of 5c with KTZ and FLZ reducedthe MIC end point value of KTZ and FLZ from 3937 to787120583gmL and from 31498 to 6290120583gmL respectivelyagainst A fumigatus strains The MIC of 5c reduced from31498 to 6290120583gmL in combination with KTZ and withFLZ it gets reduced to 25198 Depending upon FICI modelindifference (IND) and synergy (SYN) was observed Thecombination of KTZ with 5c showed SYN against onlyone strain of A fumigatus that is ITCC 4517 at 1 8(625 5000 120583gmL FICI = 040) (Table 4) The FICI (GM)

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

221 Antifungal Activity The antifungal activity againstAspergillus spp was evaluated by different methods [21ndash23]

that is disc diffusion assay (DDA) microbroth dilution assay(MDA) and percent spore germination inhibition (PSGI)The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values ofAmphotericin B (Amp B) and Nystatin (NYS) against allthe three Aspergillus species were found to be 075 120583gdiscand 100 120583gdisc respectively by DDA and 195 120583gmL and390 120583gmL respectively by MDA and PSGI The MIC of 5ccompound was 4675 120583gdisc against all the tested isolatesof Aspergillus spp by DDA whereas 5j compound possessesa slight higher MIC against A flavus and A niger that is1875 120583gdisc but against A fumigatus it possesses the sameMIC that is 4675120583gdisc The MIC of 5c by MDA andPSGI was found to be 2500 120583gmL against A fumigatus and5000 120583gmL againstA flavus andA nigerTheMIC of 5jwasfound to be 5000 120583gmL against A fumigatus and A flavusand 1000 120583gmL against A niger respectively by MDA andPSGI (Table 2)

Results revealed that the synthesized compounds 5c and5j exhibited mild antifungal activity which is lower thanthe standard drugs Some other substituted pyrimidines andpyrazoles have earlier been reported as potent antifungalagents against a number of pathogenic fungi alone and incombination [24 25]

As these compounds showed promising activity so wefurther tried these compounds in combination with standardantifungal drugs to evaluate their synergistic behaviour ifanyTherefore the compounds 5c and 5jwere tried for in vitrocombination with polyenes and azoles

(1) In Vitro Combination Study of Pyrimidine Pyrazole Ana-logues (5c and 5j) with Antifungal Drugs Among the humanpathogenic species of Aspergillus A fumigatus is the primarycausative agent of human infection followed by A flavusand A niger [23] Therefore A fumigatus [ITCC 4517 (IARIIndian Agricultural Research Institute Delhi) ITCC 1634clinical isolate VPCI 19096 (VPCI Vallabhbhai Patel ChestInstitute Delhi)] was selected for in vitro combination studyof pyrimidine pyrazole analogues with antifungal drugsThe data of in vitro combination was analysed by FractionInhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) model [24] and sum-marized in Tables 3ndash6

(11) In Vitro FIC Index of 5c with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) In combination of Amp B and NYS with5c the FICI values were found to be in the range of 08 to 103indifference (IND) was declared against A fumigatus strains(Table 3)TheMIC end point value of 5c reduced from 31498to 7871250 120583gmL But the MIC of Amp B and NYS almostremains the same that is 196 120583gmL and 312 120583gmL

The combination of 5c with KTZ and FLZ reducedthe MIC end point value of KTZ and FLZ from 3937 to787120583gmL and from 31498 to 6290120583gmL respectivelyagainst A fumigatus strains The MIC of 5c reduced from31498 to 6290120583gmL in combination with KTZ and withFLZ it gets reduced to 25198 Depending upon FICI modelindifference (IND) and synergy (SYN) was observed Thecombination of KTZ with 5c showed SYN against onlyone strain of A fumigatus that is ITCC 4517 at 1 8(625 5000 120583gmL FICI = 040) (Table 4) The FICI (GM)

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

from 3125 to 002120583gmL forAmpB 625 to 009 forNYS and400 to 3125 120583gmL for 5c 5j were taken Aliquots of 45 120583L ofeach drug at a concentration four times the targeted final weredispensed in the wells in order to obtain a two-dimensionalcheckerboard (8times 8 combination) [27] Each well then wasinoculated with 10120583L of spore suspension (1 times 108 sporemL)The plates were incubated at 37∘C for 48 h The plates werethen assessed visually The optically clear well was taken asend point MIC

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

from 3125 to 002120583gmL forAmpB 625 to 009 forNYS and400 to 3125 120583gmL for 5c 5j were taken Aliquots of 45 120583L ofeach drug at a concentration four times the targeted final weredispensed in the wells in order to obtain a two-dimensionalcheckerboard (8times 8 combination) [27] Each well then wasinoculated with 10120583L of spore suspension (1 times 108 sporemL)The plates were incubated at 37∘C for 48 h The plates werethen assessed visually The optically clear well was taken asend point MIC

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

from 3125 to 002120583gmL forAmpB 625 to 009 forNYS and400 to 3125 120583gmL for 5c 5j were taken Aliquots of 45 120583L ofeach drug at a concentration four times the targeted final weredispensed in the wells in order to obtain a two-dimensionalcheckerboard (8times 8 combination) [27] Each well then wasinoculated with 10120583L of spore suspension (1 times 108 sporemL)The plates were incubated at 37∘C for 48 h The plates werethen assessed visually The optically clear well was taken asend point MIC

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

values for the rest of combination were 052 and 102 INDoccurred

Since the MIC value of KTZ is significantly reduced incombination with 5c this compound may be a potentialcandidate for further research and may be developed as apotential candidate to be used in combination therapy againstfungal infections

(12) In Vitro FIC Index of 5j with Polyene (Amp B NYS) andAzole (KTZ FLZ) The MIC (GM) end point value of AmpB and NYS in combination with 5j remains almost the samethat is 196 and 393 120583gmL respectively But the MIC (GM)end point value of 5j in combination with Amp B and NYSreduced from 39684 to 624 and 1570 120583gmL respectivelyThe FICI (GM) values were found to be 103 and 105 withAmp B and NYS combination with 5j showed IND againstthe tested strain (Table 5)

The combination of azole (KTZ and FLZ) with 5j reducedthe MIC (GM) end point value of KTZ from 3933 to 2500and from 31498 to 6299120583gmL of FLZ The MIC (GM) endpoint value of 5j reduced from 39685 to 100 120583gmLwith KTZand 25198 120583gmLwith FLZ But this reduction is not asmuchsignificant as the combination of KTZ with 5j which showedsynergy against only one A fumigatus VPCI 19096 that is1 4 (25 100 120583gmL) The FICI (GM) values for the othercombinations were 070 and 083 indifference was declared(Table 6)

222 Antibacterial Activity Among all the analogues themost active compound was 5g whose MIC was 3125 120583gmLagainst S aureus and B cereus and the second and third mostactive compounds were 5h and 5c which showed MIC at6250120583gmL against B cereus and S aureus and 125 120583gmLagainst S aureus respectively The other two compounds 5eand 5j showed activity at 500120583gmL against S aureus and Ecoli respectively Erythromycin was used as a standard drug(Table 7)

It has already been reported that the pyrimidine pyrazoleanalogues have strong antibacterial activity against a numberof pathogenic bacteria [26] Therefore we have tried toevaluate their in vitro antibacterial potential against grampositive as well as gram negative bacteria

The compound 5g showed potent antibacterial activityagainst gram positive bacteria S aureus and B cereus Theseresults suggest that theremay be a useful practical applicationfrom the chemistry of pyrimidine pyrazole analogues

from 3125 to 002120583gmL forAmpB 625 to 009 forNYS and400 to 3125 120583gmL for 5c 5j were taken Aliquots of 45 120583L ofeach drug at a concentration four times the targeted final weredispensed in the wells in order to obtain a two-dimensionalcheckerboard (8times 8 combination) [27] Each well then wasinoculated with 10120583L of spore suspension (1 times 108 sporemL)The plates were incubated at 37∘C for 48 h The plates werethen assessed visually The optically clear well was taken asend point MIC

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule

from 3125 to 002120583gmL forAmpB 625 to 009 forNYS and400 to 3125 120583gmL for 5c 5j were taken Aliquots of 45 120583L ofeach drug at a concentration four times the targeted final weredispensed in the wells in order to obtain a two-dimensionalcheckerboard (8times 8 combination) [27] Each well then wasinoculated with 10120583L of spore suspension (1 times 108 sporemL)The plates were incubated at 37∘C for 48 h The plates werethen assessed visually The optically clear well was taken asend point MIC

36 Drug Interaction Modelling The drug interaction wasdetermined by the most popular FICI model The FICIrepresents the sum of the FICs (Fraction Inhibitory Concen-tration) of each drug tested The FIC of a drug was definedas MIC of a drug in combination divided by MIC of thesame drug alone (MIC of drug in combinationMIC of drugalone) FICI = 1 (revealed indifference) FICI le 05 (revealedsynergy) and FICI gt 4 (revealed antagonism) [28]

37 Antibacterial Susceptibility Test The antibacterial activityof compoundwas analysed bymicrobroth dilution Resazurinbased assay [29] Each assay was repeated at least three timeson different daysThe different pathogenic species of bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus (MTCC number 3160) Bacillus cereus(MTCC number 10085) Escherichia coli (MTCC number433) Salmonella typhi (MTCC number 733) Micrococcusluteus (MTCC number 8132) Bacillus pumilis (MTCC num-ber 2299) and Bacillus subtilis (MTCC number 8142) werecultured in Luria broth Using aseptic techniques a singlecolony was transferred into a 100mL Luria broth and placedin incubator at 35∘C After 12ndash18 h of incubation the culturewas centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes The supernatantwas discarded and pellet was resuspended in 20mL PBSand centrifuged again at 4000 rpm for 5min This step wasrepeated until the supernatant was clear The pellet was thensuspended in 20mL PBS The optical density of the bacteriawas recorded at 500 nm and serial dilutions were carried outwith appropriate aseptic techniques until the optical densitywas in the range of 05ndash10 representing 5 times 106 CFUmL

371 Resazurin Based Microtitre Dilution Assay Resazurinbased MDA was performed in 96-well plates under asepticconditionsThe concentrations of compounds in the range of2000ndash78120583gmL were prepared in 100120583L of culture mediumby serial dilution method 10 120583L of Resazurin indicator solu-tion (5X) was added in each well Finally 10 120583L of bacterialsuspension was added (5 times 106 CFUmL) to each well toachieve a concentration of 5 times 105 CFUmL Each plate hada set of controls a column with erythromycin as positivecontrol The plates were prepared in triplicate and incubatedat 37∘C for 24 hThe colour change was then assessed visuallyThe lowest concentration at which colour change occurredwas taken as the MIC value

4 Conclusion

In search of novel antimicrobial molecules we came acrossthat pyrimidine pyrazole heterocycles can be of interest as5g showed significant antibacterial activity The compounds5e and 5h also showed moderate antibacterial activity 5jshowed moderate antifungal activity Out of all heterocycles5c possesses both antifungal and antibacterial activity Ourstudies showed that these novel heterocycles can supplementthe existing antifungal therapy Monotherapy can be replacedby combination therapy Therefore 5c 5g and 5j might beof great interest for the development of novel antimicrobialmolecule
