Popis: Macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, have been widely prescribed for the treatment of respiratory tract infections owing to their high efficacy and safety.[1] Azithromycin belongs to an azalide subclass of 15-membered macrolide antibiotics. Emerging multi-drug resistant microbial pathogens present today a serious and challenging global problem which demands novel and more effective antimicrobial agents to be discovered. Thiosemicarbazones and some of their metal complexes have been shown to possess anti- infective, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. Some thiosemicarbazones have proven very useful to treat infections, such as the new antibiotics perchlozone and thiacetazone, which are good new agents against tuberculosis.[2] Our earlier experiments which included synthesis and biological and structural characterization of some macrolide conjugates showed that those hybrid compounds exhibited good activity against some resistant bacterial strains.[3-4] Here, we present synthesis and characterization of novel macrolide conjugates, the macrozones by linking azithromycin and some selected thiosemicarbazones.
