Popis: Background Fused five-membered heterocyclic rings containing bridgehead nitrogen atom are particularly versatile in the field of medicinal chemistry because of their different biological activities. Among them, the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole is an attractive fused heterocyclic core that has been extensively studied. Objective The aim of the current study was to study the therapeutic applications of imidazo[2,1- b]thiazole derivatives as antimicrobial agents for the treatment of genitourinary infections. Method A traditional synthetic methodology was involved to obtain a small series of imidazothiazole derivatives. Results Herein, we report the antimicrobial activity of the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole or imidazo[2,1- b]thiazolidine derivatives against selected fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, experiments were carried out to investigate the interference towards the endogenous microbiota. Conclusion The most interesting of the series are the thiocyano derivatives (19, 23) showing a good profile for the treatment of genitourinary infections: a spectrum of activity covering both bacteria and fungi together with a reduced impact versus critical lines of Lactobacillus exerting defense against pathogens.
