Synthesis, structure and antibacterial activity of potent DNA gyrase inhibitors: N'-benzoyl-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide derivatives.

ABSTRACT: A total of 19 novel (3a-3s) N'-benzoyl-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide analogs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for biological activities as potential DNA gyrase inhibitors. The results showed that compound 3k can strongly inhibit Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase and Bacillus subtilis DNA gyrase (with IC50 of 0.15 µg/mL and 0.25 µg/mL, respectively). Structure-activity relationships were also discussed base on the biological and docking simulation results.
