Nucleoside bases like uracil, pharmacophoric triazoles and benzimidazolones have been used during the present study to design molecular matrices for antitubercular activity, employing Click Chemistry. Click triazoles 4/7/10 have been obtained by the reaction of 4-(Azidomethyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones/quinolin-2(1H)-ones 3 and propargyl ethers 2/6/9 derived from theophylline/6-methyl uracil/2-benzimidazolone respectively. In addition to spectral data structures have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies in case of uracil bis alkyne (6) and theophylline mono triazole (4c). Theophylline linked mono triazoles, 4(a-d) and 6-methyl uracil linked bis triazoles, 7(a-e) have been found to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values in the range 55.62-115.62 μM. Benzimidazolone bis triazoles, 10(a-n) showed better activity with MIC in the range 2.33-18.34 μM. Molecular modeling studies using Surflex-Dock algorithm supported our results.
