A CuAAC Based Click Chemistry Approach for Synthesis of Quinoxaline-1,2,3-Triazole Hybrid Molecular Library and Its Antimicrobial Evaluation

Abstract

Copper(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) methodology to develop a library of 3-methyl quinoxaline-1,2,3-triazole hybrid molecules. The designed molecules were synthesized via efficient and purification free method. The structures of the achieved compounds were recognized based on their spectral data. The antimicrobial activity for the synthesized compounds was evaluated against four bacterial species and two fungal strains. Six compounds are broad spectrum molecule, which can inhibit the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Two molecules show mainly antifungal activity. Compound 6e shows highest antibacterial as well as antifungal activity.
