Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of benzo-[d]-imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole and imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole carboxamide triazole derivatives as antimycobacterial agents.

ABSTRACT: In the search for new anti-mycobacterial agents, we revealed the importance of imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole and benzo-[d]-imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole carboxamide derivatives. We designed, in silico ADMET predicted and synthesized four series of novel imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole and benzo-[d]-imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole carboxamide analogues in combination with piperazine and various 1,2,3 triazoles. All the synthesized derivatives were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, HPLC and MS spectral analysis and evaluated for in vitro antitubercular activity. The most active benzo-[d]-imidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazole derivative IT10, carrying a 4-nitro phenyl moiety, displayed IC₉₀ of 7.05 μM and IC₅₀ of 2.3
