RESUMO
In this work we reported the synthesis and evaluation of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and antimicrobial activities in vitro of three new compound series obtained from ethyl(5-methyl-1-H-imidazole-4-carboxylate): acylthiosemicarbazide analogues 3a-d, 4-thiazolidinone analogues 4a-d and 1,3,4-thiadiazole analogues 5a-d. All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR and HRMS. The majority of the tested compounds show excellent anti-T. gondii activity when compared to hydroxyurea and sulfadiazine. In addition it was also shown that most of the compounds in this study have a better performance against intracellular tachyzoites. The results for antimicrobial activity evaluation showed weak antibacterial and antifungal activities for all the tested molecules, when compared with the standard drugs (chloramphenicol and rifampicin for antibacterial activity; nistatin and ketoconazole for antifungal activity).

In the present communication, a new series of 2-[(phenylmethylene)hydrazono]-4-oxo-3-phenyl-5-thiazolidineacetic acids (2a-p) have been synthesized. Benzaldehyde 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazones substituted (1a-p) were also obtained and used as intermediate to give the title compounds. All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR. The in vitro anti-Toxoplasma gondii activity of 1a-p and 2a-p was evaluated. The 4-thiazolidinones (2a-p) were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. For anti-Toxoplasma gondii activity, in general, all compounds promoted decreases in the percentage of infected cells leading to parasite elimination. These effects on intracellular parasites also caused a decrease in the mean number of tachyzoites. In addition, most of the 4-thiazolidinones showed more effective toxicity against intracellular parasites, with IC(50) values ranging from 0.05 to 1 mM. According to results of antimicrobial activity, compounds 2f, 2l, and 2p showed best activity against Mycobacterium luteus, 2c was more active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 2g, 2l, and 2n showed same activity as nistatin (standard drug) against Candida sp. (4249).
