Abstract: A series of substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, of the general formula A, was synthesized and tested for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. The results revealed that the G+ve bacteria Bacillus subtilis and to a lesser extent Staphylococcus aureus, and the G-ve E. coli, are sensitive to the majority of the synthesized compounds. In addition, the DNA binding affinity of the synthesized compounds was tested, and results of the qualitative preliminary assay showed that compounds 8c, 7c and 7a were the most active analogues. Consequently, docking studies were done for these compounds to identify the target receptors, and the results showed promising energy score of docking with enzymes related to bacterial infections.
