A novel series of pyridine–1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives was synthesized using both conventional and microwave-assisted techniques. The synthetic route involved condensation of isoniazid with various substituted aromatic aldehydes to form hydrazones, followed by cyclization and acetylation in the presence of acetic anhydride. Microwave-assisted synthesis offered significantly higher yields and shorter reaction times compared to conventional methods, supporting a greener approach. The synthesized compounds were characterized using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. Biological screening revealed that compounds bearing electron-donating groups exhibited notable antibacterial activity, while fluoro-substituted analogues demonstrated superior antifungal potency. Cytotoxicity studies confirmed their safety with negligible activity against HeLa cells. Molecular docking studies supported the antimicrobial results, indicating strong binding affinities toward topoisomerase IV and CYP51. Overall, the results highlight pyridine–1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids as promising scaffolds for future antimicrobial drug development.
