Abstract: There is provided novel anticancer and antibacterial compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and processes for their preparation. The compounds have anticancer activity, which results in the reduction of tumour cell proliferation, enhances cancers cells apoptosis and regulation of iron signalling. The compounds are also particularly active against various Gram-negative and Gram-positive multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing and colistin-resistant Escherichia coli, carbapenem-resistant E. coli, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) including those with reduced susceptibility to many control antibiotics.

Abstract: Novel heterocyclic fused systems are disclosed herein which possess numerous biological activities, including but not limited to antibacterial activity, and usefulness to the treatment of many disease states, such as pathogenic infections. In particular, new imidazoles are disclosed along with related processes of preparation and methods of use as antibacterial agents. The disclosed compounds were found to be active against several Gram-positive bacteria, including Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis, and were also found to be active against several species of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus, such as S. aureus, S. saprophyticus, S. haemolyticus, and S. epidermidis.
