Typhimurium (ATCC 13311), with the lowest MIC of 0.06 mg/mL (5x) and 0.12 mg/mL (5a) along with the highest at 1.88 mg/mL (5o and 5u). S. aureus (ATCC 6538) was probably the most resistant strain, with all the lowest MIC of 0.12 mg/mL (5m and 5x), and the highest at 3.75 mg/mL (5i). In general, all strains have been moderately sensitive for the compounds tested. Compound 5e showed promising activity NPY Y1 receptor Synonyms against B. cereus and L. monocytogenes, with MIC/MBC of 0.12/0.23 mg/mL. Nevertheless, none of compounds exceeded the activity of the reference drugs. Compound 5x exhibited the highest activity amongst the tested compounds against S. Typhimurium (ATCC 13311), whilst compound 5m exhibited the highest activity against B. cereus as well as the most resistant bacterium, S. aureus, (ATCC 6538) with MIC of 0.06 mg/mL and MBC of 0.12 mg/mL, exceeding the activity of ampicillin. Very good activity against S. Typhimurium (ATCC 13311) was observed for compound 5a, whereas compound 5e showed very good activity against B. cereus and L. monocytogenes, with MIC/MBC of 0.12/0.23 mg/mL. Nonetheless, none of other compounds exceeded the activity of the reference drugs. According to structure-activity relationships, the presence of propan-2-ylidenhydrazine substituent at position two on the thiazole ring (5x) appeared to become most advantageous for antibacterial activity. The introduction of an Me group at position two as well as a 5-Cl substituent for the indole ring, also as the replacement of propan-2-ylidenhydrazine by an aminoPharmaceuticals 2021, 14,7 ofgroup (5m) slightly decreased the activity. The presence of an amino group in position two of thiazole, at the same time as a 6-Me-group inside the indole ring led to compound, 5d much less active than prior. The replacement from the 5-Cl of compound 5m by a 5-OMe group and also the introduction a methylamino group in position 2 of the thiazole ring (5i) appeared to become detrimental to antibacterial activity. The presence of 2-methylamino, as well as a methyl group, in position five of the thiazole ring (5u) had by far the most negative effect. It ought to be mentioned that derivatives having a 2-NH2 group in the thiazole ring, independent of substituents inside the indole ring (5a, 5d, 5e, 5m, 5q and 5s), had been among the most potent. Hence, it could be concluded that antibacterial activity depends not only on substituents and their position within the indole ring but in addition on substituents in position 2 in the thiazole moiety. The three most active compounds (5x, 5m and 5d) have been also studied for their activity against resistant strains, such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli. In the results, presented in Table 2, it is actually obvious that all compounds appeared to be more potent against MRSA than ampicillin, whereas streptomycin didn’t exhibit bactericidal activity. As far as the other two resistant strains are von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) list concerned, these compounds were less active than each reference compounds, although ampicillin didn’t show bactericidal activity.Table 2.

The obtained benefits are promising. Each compounds (5m and 5x) showed stronger inhibition of biofilm formation tha
