Examination of antibacterial properties of three thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid derivatives against Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli

Abstract

Treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria is a growing problem for global public health. We need new drugs to keep up with resistant. It is known that Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids (TCA) are able to inhibit bacterial growth by mimicking various essential functions of naturally occurring amino acids. Therefore, we aimed to synthesis three TCA derivatives, two of them are novel, and investigated their antibacterial activities on multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Compounds (1a-c) were synthesized from L-Cysteine hydrochloride and dihydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives and their in vitro activities against multi-drug resistant bacteria were assayed by the Kirby-Bauer method according to CLSI criteria. 1a-c exhibited significant antibacterial effect against Gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus and Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomanas, Acinetobacter, and Escherichia coli superior to current antibiotics. Here, new potential antibacterial agents, which can be easily synthesized in high yield under mild condition, have been reported. But it is clear that further research and in-vitro activity tests of these three compounds should be performed.
