Abstract
The coupling reaction of benzoic acid and nicotinic acid hydrazides with N-protected L-amino acids including valine, leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid and tyrosine is reported. The target compounds, N-Boc-amino acid-(N`-benzoyl)- and N-Boc-amino acid-(N`-nicotinoyl) hydrazides 5a-5e and 6a-6e were prepared in very high yields and purity using N-[(dimethylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-yl- methylene]-N-methyl-methanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide (HATU) as coupling reagent. The antimicrobial activity of the Cu and Cd complexes of the designed compounds was tested. The products were deprotected affording the corresponding amino acid-(N`-benzoyl) hydrazide hydrochloride salts (7a-7e) and amino acid-(N`- nicotinoyl) hydrazide hydrochloride salts (8a-8e). These compounds and their Cu and Cd complexes were also tested for their antimicrobial activity. Several compounds showed comparable activity to that of ampicillin against S. aureus and E. coli.
Novel amino acid-(N′-benzoyl) hydrazide and amino acid-(N′-nicotinoyl) hydrazide derivatives show comparable antimicrobial activity to ampicillin against S. aureus and E. coli.
