The antibiotic resistance problems constitute a considerable threat to human health worldwide; thus, the discovery of new antimicrobial candidates to conquer this issue is an imperative requirement. From this view, new thiophenyl-pyrazolyl-thiazole hybrids 3-10 were synthesized and screened for their antibacterial efficiency versus Gram - and Gram + bacterial strains compared to the reference drug amoxicillin. It was noticed that the new hybrids displayed significant antibacterial efficacy versus Gram - bacteria, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Also, all the screened candidates demonstrated a noticeable antifungal effect against Candida albicans (MICs = 3.9-125 μg/mL) relative to fluconazole (MIC = 250 μg/mL). Moreover, the new hybrids were investigated for their antituberculosis potency against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (RCMB 010126). Derivatives 4c, 6b, 8b, 9b, and 10b demonstrated prominent antituberculosis efficiency (MICs = 0.12-1.95 μg/mL) compared with the reference drug isoniazid (MIC = 0.12 μg/mL). The latter derivatives were further assessed for their inhibitory potency versus M. tuberculosis DHFR enzyme. The compounds 4c, 6b and 10b presented a remarkable suppression effect with IC₅₀ values of 4.21, 5.70, and 10.59 μM, respectively, compared to that of trimethoprim (IC₅₀ = 6.23 μM). Furthermore, biodistribution profile using radiolabeling way revealed a perceived uptake of ¹³¹I-compound 6b into infection induced models. The docking study for the new hybrids 4c, 6b, 8b, 9b and 10b was performed to illustrate the various binding modes with Mtb DHFR enzyme. In silico ADMET studies for the most potent inhibitors 4c, 6b and 10b were also accomplished to predict their pharmacokinetic and physicochemical features.
