INTRODUCTION Nowadays, bacterial infection remains a serious threat to human lives due to their increasing resistance towards current antibiotics. Thus, there is a big scope for the invention of new antimicrobial agents. 1,4-Disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are known to possess many activities, such as anti-HIV,1,2 antimicrobial,3 anticancer,4–6 anti-inflammatory7 and fluorescent,8 as well as inhibitors of kinase-3β9,10 and other enzyme inhibitors.11–13 The 1,2,3-triazole moiety-con- taining drug molecules, such as tazobactam,14 cefatrizine15 and carboxyamido- triazole (CAI),16 are available (Fig. 1). There are various methods available for the one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disub- stituted-1,2,3-triazoles.17–19 However, the copper(I)-catalyzed one-pot three- -component cycloaddition of alkyl halides with sodium azide and terminal * Corresponding author.

Some 1,2,3-triazole ring-containing drugs on the market. Previously, the synthesis and antibacterial activity of 1,2,3-triazole deriva- tives of morpholine-3-carboxylic acid ester were reported.23 The morpholine moiety has played a significant role in medicinal chemistry.24 Some of the mor- pholine ring-containing drugs are shown in Fig. 2. Thiomorpholine derivatives are known to exhibit biological activities including antimycobacterial,25 anti- cancer,26 anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents27 and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors.28 In view of the above considerations and in continuation of ongoing research on the synthesis of 1,4-disubtituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives, the synthesis of thiomorpholine derived 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles and their antimicrobial activity are reported herein.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Chemistry In the present work, a series of novel thiomorpholine derived 1,4-disub- tituted-1,2,3-triazoles was synthesized employing the copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction, Scheme 1. The 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3- -triazole derivatives were synthesized in a one-pot reaction, starting from alkyne, alkyl halide and sodium azide in the presence of Cu(I) catalyst. 4-(Prop-2-yn-1- -yl)thiomorpholine (2) was synthesized by reacting thiomorpholine with pro- pargyl bromide in the presence of Cs2CO3 in acetone at room temperature. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Available on line at www.shd.org.rs/JSCS/ (CC) 2016 SCS.

The presence of a singlet peak that appeared in the downfield region at 7.76 ppm (1H, s) confirmed the formation of the 1,2,3-triazole ring. The triplet that appeared at 4.35 ppm (2H t, J = 7.32 Hz) corresponded to an –N–N–CH2– group attached to a triazole ring. The singlet peak that appeared at 4.03 ppm (2H, s) corresponded to a –CH2–triazole group attached to thiomorpholine nitrogen. Two sets of multiplet signals that appeared in the upfield region 3.20–2.78 ppm (8H, m) corresponded to the thiomorpholine –N–CH2 and –S–CH2 groups. The multiplet peak present in the upfield region at 1.90–1.80 ppm (2H, m) corres- ponded to the –N–N–CH2–CH2– group. The presence of one multiplet in the region 1.40–1.20 (8H, m) ppm confirmed the four methylene (–CH2–) groups in the n-heptyl chain. The triplet peak that appeared in the upfield region at 0.87 ppm (3H, t, J = 6.71 Hz) corresponded to the methyl (–CH3) group. In the 13C-NMR spectrum of compound 4a, two carbon signals that appeared at 139.4 and 124.4 ppm confirmed the formation of the triazole ring. In the upfield region, the methyl group, thiomorpholine –S–CH2– and –N–CH2– carbons were observed at 13.7, 25.8 and 53.2 ppm, respectively. Five methylene (–(CH2)5–) group carbons were observed in the region 31.2–22.2 ppm. Thiomor- pholine-N attached (–N–CH2–) and triazole attached (–N–N–CH2–) carbons were observed at 51.9 and 50.3 ppm, respectively. The ESI-mass spectra showed a 283 (M+H) peak, which confirmed the molecular weight of compound 4a. Antibacterial activity All the synthesized compounds 4a–j and 5a–j were investigated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against various gram-positive microorganisms, i.e., Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, and gram-negative microorganisms, i.e., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Penicillin and streptomycin were used as standard drugs for com- parison. The results of the antibacterial activity screening (Table S-I of the Sup- plementary material to this paper) revealed that compound 4a, possessing an 1-heptyl group on the triazole ring, showed excellent inhibition against S. epi- dermidis, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae microorganisms with minimal inhi- bitory concentration (MIC) values of 2.34, 2.34 and 9.37 µg mL–1, respectively. Compound 4b having a 1-octyl group exhibited excellent inhibition against S. epidermidis, S. aureus and K. pneumoniae with MIC values of 1.17, 2.34 and 2.34 µg mL–1, respectively. Compound 4c, bearing 1-decyl substitution, showed very good inhibition against S. epidermidis as compared with the standard drugs. Compounds 4d, 4e and 4f, possessing longer alkyl carbon chains on the triazole ring, showed no inhibition of any of the bacterial strains even at the highest concentration of 150 µg mL–1. Whereas, compound 4g, derived from the 1-hep- tadecyl group, exhibited excellent inhibition against S. epidermidis and K. pneu- moniae strains with MIC values of 1.17 and 4.68 µg mL–1, respectively.

Compound 5a, possessing 1-heptyl substitution on the triazole ring, showed equipotent inhibition against S. aureus, S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa strains with MIC values of 2.34, 2.34 and 9.37 µg mL–1, respectively, in comparison with the standard drugs. Compound 5b, derived from the 1-octyl group, exhibited excellent inhibition of B. subtilis and S. aureus strains at lower concentrations (2.34 and 4.68 µg mL–1). Moreover, compound 5d against P. aeruginosa and 5e against B. subtilis exhibited very good inhibition with MIC values of 4.68 and 9.37 µg mL–1, respectively. Compounds 5f–i exhibited no inhibition of any of the tested strains even at the highest concentration of 150 µg mL–1. However, compound 5j, carrying an n-dodecyl group, showed very good inhibition against B. subtilis and S. epidermidis strains with MIC values of 2.34 and 9.37 µg mL–1, respectively. Among all the synthesized compounds, 4a, 4b and 5a showed equipotent to better antibacterial activity when compared with the activities of the thiomor- pholine derivatives reported by several authors.30,31 The better activity of com- pounds 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b might be attributed to the presence of the 1-heptyl and 1-octyl groups on the 1,2,3-triazole ring. Antifungal activity All the synthesized compounds 4a–j and 5a–j were investigated for their in vitro antifungal activity against the fungal strains Candida albicans, Saccharo- myces cerevisiae, Aspergillus niger and A. flavus. Amphotericin B was used as the standard drug for comparison. The results of the in vitro antifungal activity screening (Table S-II of the Supplementary material) revealed that compounds 4c, 4e and 5j exhibited moderate antifungal activity against C. albicans, A. niger and A. flavus strains with zones of inhibition ranging from 9 to 16 mm. Com- pounds 4f, 4j, 5c and 5d exhibited moderate inhibition of C. albicans and A. niger strains with zones of inhibition ranging from 8 to 14 mm. Furthermore, compound 5g registered moderate inhibition against C. albicans and A. flavus organisms. Compounds 4a, 4b, 4d, 4g, 4h, 4i, 5a, 5b, 5e, 5f, 5h and 5i exhibited no inhibition against all fungal strains, even at the highest concentration of 150 µg mL–1. From the above observations, it is obvious that replacement of the 1-octyl group with 1-decyl, 1-dodecyl, 1-tetradecyl and 1-pentadecyl groups on the triazole ring resulted in better activity against all the tested organisms (except S. cerevisiae) as compared with the other synthesized thiomorpholine derivatives. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the reagents and solvents were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich/Merck Chemicals, India and used without further purifications. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was per- formed using Merck silica gel 60 F254 precoated plates (0.25 mm) and silica gel (100–200 mesh) was used for column chromatography.

Phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) stain was used for detection. Melting points were determined using a Cintex apparatus and are uncorrected. 300 MHz and 500 Mz spectrometers were used for 1H-NMR spectroscopy and the latter for 13C-NMR spectroscopy of 4a–j. Coupling constant (J) are presented in Hertz and spin multiples are given as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet) and m (multiplet). Mass spectra were recorded by using the ESI-MS method. Synthesis of 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)thiomorpholine (2) The title compound was prepared according to a known literature procedure.32 Synthesis of 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (3) To a stirred solution of 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)thiomorpholine (3 g, 0.021 mol) in dichloro- methane (100 mL) was added MCPBA (10.9 g, 0.0638 mol) at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford the crude compound. The crude product was partitioned between ethyl acetate and aqueous NaHCO3 solution. Then, the organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 2.8 g (77 %) of 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (3). General procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles (4a–j and 5a–j) To a stirred solution of alkyl bromide (1.67 mmol, 1 eq.) in aqueous THF solution (H2O:THF, 1:1), was added sodium azide (2.01 mmol, 1.2 eq.) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Then, alkyne (1.67 mmol, 1 eq.) and 10 mol % Cu(I) were added to the reaction mixture and stirred at ambient temperature for 8–12 h. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude compounds. The crude compounds were purified by column chromatography using silica gel (100–200 mesh) and (20–30 %) ethyl acetate in n-hexane as eluent. Evaporation of the solvent afforded compounds 4a–j and 5a–j in good yields. Antibacterial activity The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the synthesized compounds were tested against the gram-positive organisms Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96) and S. epidermidis (MTCC 2639) and the gram-negative organisms Escherichia coli (MTCC 443), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 741), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (MTCC 618) using the broth dilution method.33-37 Penicillin and streptomycin were also screened under identical conditions for comparison. Antifungal activity The in vitro antifungal activities of the synthesized compounds were determined against the fungal strains Candida albicans (MTCC 227), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (MTCC 36), Aspergillus niger (MTCC 282) and Aspergillus flavus (MTCC 8654) by the Agar Well Diffusion method.38 Ready-made potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium (Hi-media, 39 g) was suspended in distilled water (1000 mL) and heated to boiling until it dissolved completely, the medium and Petri dishes were autoclaved at a pressure of 4.4 g m-2 for 20 min. The medium was poured into sterile Petri dishes under aseptic conditions in a laminar air flow chamber. When the medium in the plates had solidified, 0.5 mL of week-old culture of the test organism was inoculated and uniformly spread over the agar surface with a sterile L-shaped rod. Solutions were prepared by dissolving the compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Available on line at www.shd.org.rs/JSCS/ (CC) 2016 SCS.

After inoculation, the wells were scooped out with a 6 mm sterile cork borer and the lids of the dishes were replaced. Different concentrations of the test solutions were added to each well and controls were maintained. The treated samples and the controls were kept at 27 °C for 48 h. Inhibition zones were measured and the diameters were calculated in mm. Three to four replicates were maintained for each treatment. Amphotericin B was used as the standard drug for comparison. CONCLUSIONS In summary, some novel thiomorpholine derived 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3- -triazoles were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities investigated. The majority of the compounds were found to possess interesting antibacterial acti- vities against the tested bacterial strains when compared to the standard drugs penicillin and streptomycin. Some of the synthesized compounds also registered moderate antifungal activity. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds were modulated by structural modifications in the alkyl group attached to the triazole ring. Thus, these active compounds could be very good candidates for further antimicrobial investigations.
