In this study, acid dissociation constants of 5,5-diphenylpyrrolidine N-aroylthiourea derivatives, exhibiting anti(myco)bacterial activity, were determined by potentiometric titration in 30% (v/v) acetonitrile-water hydroorganic solventat 25 ± 0.1 °C, at an ionic background of 0.1 mol / L of NaCl using the HYPERQUAD computer program. Three acid dissociation constants were determined for each compound 1a-e and we suggest that these acid dissociation constants are related to the carboxyl, enol and enthiol groups. Stability constants of their Pt(II) and Ni(II) complexes were also determined by potentiometric titration under the same conditions stated above using the HYPERQUAD computer program. The ligands behave as bidentate and bind to the metal atom via the S and O atoms. In various p...

In this paper, five novel 5,5-diphenylpyrrolidine N-aroylthiourea derivatives were synthesized by stereoselective cycloaddition of N-diphenylmethylene-protected glycine methyl ester and methyl acrylate, and subsequent coupling with aroylisothiocyanates. The cis-stereochemistry of one of the heterocyclic thiourea derivatives was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The compounds showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia. coli and Acinetobacter baumannii with minimum inhibitory concentration values in the range of 62.5-1000 mu g/mL against these bacterial strains. Antimycobacterial activity of the compounds was investigated against the M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain and all compounds exhibited antimyc...
