A novel amalgamation of 1,2,3-triazoles, piperidines and thieno pyridine rings and evaluation of their antifungal activity

It is the first report of the novel amalgamation of 1,2,3-triazoles, piperidines, thieno pyridine rings and evaluation of their antifungal activity. The synthesized compounds showed interesting moderate to good antifungal activity, wherein they were able to discriminate between the two species Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger of the same genus. In addition, the main highlight of this series is the sensitivity of the fungal strain Cryptococcus neoformans to the compounds having p-chlorobenzoyl (9h), methane sulfonyl (9i) and p-methylbenzene sulfonyl (9j) attached to the piperazine nitrogen.
