Abstract

Introduction: The emergence of drug resistance in microorganisms poses a serious threat to human health; therefore, new oxadiazole derivatives can be a good alternative. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the synthesized oxadiazole derivatives and compare it with conventional antibacterial drugs.
Materials and Methods: In the current study, following the one-step reaction process, new derivatives of oxadiazoles were obtained with the 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole isomer. Thereafter, they were confirmed by InfraRed )IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)C-NMR), and Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)  H-NMR spectroscopy). Antibacterial activity of derivatives was established by performing a test and re-test on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. using disc diffusion method, determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and  Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) at a concentration of 1 mg/ml.
Results: As evidenced by the obtained results, the compounds synthesized at 1 mg/ml had antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. However, they exerted no effect on the other bacteria which were tested.   
Conclusion: The results of the current study indicated that the new single-step oxadiazole derivatives have a very good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
