Abstract

Background: Multicomponent reactions are highly useful in synthesizing natural products and bioactive molecules. Out of several MCRs, although utilized widely, some remain neglected in review articles. The Gewald and Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé (GBB) reactions are two such reactions. This comprehensive review assimilates applications of Gewald and Groebke-Blackburn- Bienayme reactions in synthesizing novel antimicrobial agents. It presents the antimicrobial properties of the synthesized molecules, providing an overview of their potential druggability.

Objective: Developing novel antimicrobial agents is the need of the hour. Toward this objective, the scientific community is developing new methods for constructing novel architectures with potential antimicrobial properties. This review will showcase the usefulness of the Gewald, Strecker, and Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé (GBB) reactions in synthesizing antimicrobial molecules.

Methods: The articles are searched by using the Sci-finder search tool and summarize the chemistry of their synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of the molecules.

Results: This review focuses on synthesizing antimicrobial molecules using the Gewald, Strecker, and Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé (GBB) reactions. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized molecules are also summarized in tables.

Conclusion: This review will briefly overview the application of the Gewald, Strecker, and Groebke- Blackburn-Bienaymé (GBB) reactions in synthesizing novel antimicrobial molecules. It contains several molecules with promising activity against resistant and non-resistant microbial strains. These promising molecules could be studied further to develop novel antibiotics.
