Novel triazole-pyrazine as potential antibacterial agents: Synthesis, characterization, Antibacterial activity, drug-likeness properties and molecular docking studies

Through Williamson ether synthesis in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, new triazole derivatives containing 3,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyridazin-4yl)methanol were created. The obtained alkyne and azide derivatives were then put through a clickable reaction using copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) under more environmentally friendly conditions. Through the use of NMR and IR spectroscopy and the High Resolution Mass-Spectrometry technique (HRMS), the produced compounds were examined for their antibacterial properties against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial tests performed with these pyrazine derivatives reveal that compound 4 showed the greatest activity among the investigated compounds against the negative gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus fasciens, and positive gram-negative Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, research on drug similarity and docking studies were carried out to define their mechanism of action for their antibacterial activities on the theory that these chemicals can be a valuable paradigm for the invention and synthesis of more potent antibacterial possibilities.
