Abstract

A novel series of thiepine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potential antimicrobials. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities in vitro against the fungi Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), C. parapsilosis (clinical isolate), Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 44752), and Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Synthesized compounds showed higher antifungal activity than antibacterial activity indicating that they could be used as selective antimicrobials. Selected thiepines efficiently inhibited Candida hyphe formation, a trait necessary for their pathogenicity. Thiepine 8-phenyl[1]benzothiepino[3,2-c]pyridine (16) efficiently killed Candida albicans at 15.6 μg/mL and showed no embryotoxicity at 75 μg/mL. Derivative 8-[4-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl][1]benzothiepino[3,2-c]pyridine (23) caused significant hemolysis and in vitro DNA interaction. The position of the phenyl ring was essential for the antifungal activity, while the electronic effects of the substituents did not significantly influence activity. Results obtained from in-vivo embryotoxicity on zebrafish (Danio rerio) encourage further structure optimizations. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 February 2023.
All research outputs
#3,609,406
of 24,549,201 outputs
Outputs from Chemical Biology & Drug Design
#94
of 1,508 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,934
of 361,464 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chemical Biology & Drug Design
#9
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,549,201 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,508 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 361,464 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
