The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has become a serious threat existing options for treating bacterial infections. We have developed synthetic methodology 3-sulfenyl pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with potent antibacterial activity. This iodine-catalyzed strategy been by employing amino pyrazoles, enaminones/chalcones, and thiophenols through intermolecular cyclization subsequent cross-dehydrogenative sulfenylation. highly regioselective practicable protocol utilized synthesize structurally diverse wide functionalities. is also extendable toward the synthesis bis(pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)sulfanes from pyrazole, enaminones/chalcone, KSCN pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine direct acetophenone. Mechanistic investigation disclosed radical pathway C-H sulfenylation involvement 3-iodo as active intermediate. biological activity sulfenyl against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus, whereas sulfinyl no such Sulfenyl mechanistically inhibited growth accumulation ROS well induction in lipid peroxidation. Subsequently, circumstances changed membrane potential facilitated interaction membrane-associated proteins, leading loss integrity damage cell membranes. Moreover, these derivatives potentiated efficacy commercial antibiotic ciprofloxacin selected strains can be considered an alternative therapy
