Synthesis, Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activities of 1-aryl-4-[(5-aryl-2-furyl)carbonothioyl]piperazines

Abstract

As a result of the furfural reaction with diazonium, salts 1a-h the arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes 3a-h were synthesized. In the reaction of Wilgerodt-Kindler, arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes with sulfur and aryl piperazines was prepared 1-aryl-4-[(5-aryl-2-furyl)carbonothioyl]piperazines. The structures of target compounds 5a-l were confirmed by using 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized substances was evaluated by the value of the MIC and minimum fungicidal and bactericidal concentration. The findings exhibited that the compounds possessed moderate antimicrobial potential. In vitro anticancer activity assessment on the full panel of about 60 human cancer cell lines showed that received compounds displayed moderate activity.
