A series of N-substituted-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (TZDs) were prepared via N-alkylation of 2,4-TZD at position 3 using substituted benzyl halides. Synthesized N-substituted-2,4-TZD was then substituted at position 5 with substituted aromatic aldehyde according to Knoevenagel condensation method. Structures of the compounds were elucidated using various spectral techniques viz. IR, 1HN...

A new series of 2-pyrazolin-1-ylthiazoles 8a-d and 13-16 was synthesized by cyclization of N-thiocarboxamide-2-pyrazoline with different haloketones and 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses as well as NMR, IR, and mass spectral data. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities, and also their mini...

in this study, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (tnpp) and its zinc porphyrin complex (zntnpp) were synthesized in situ using the microwave method and identified by uv-vis, ft-ir and 1h nmr. the photostability and photodynamic antimicrobial activity (pact) of these compounds were investigated on pseudomonas aeruginosa and bacillus subtilis under visible light irradiation. mic, mbc an...

Introduction: Active packaging is one of the innovations in food packaging industry that would be a respons to the changing needs of consumers and markets. In this technique, materials such as adsorbents oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, ethylene and carbon dioxide-releasing flavor compounds, antimicrobials, antioxidants and various aromatic compounds are used. In the last deca...

Eighteen novel 5-phenyl-3-(substitutedthioxoquinazolinonyl) isoxazoles (5a-r) were synthesized by cycloaddition of various chalcones with hydroxylaminehydrochloride (NH2OH.HCl). All the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by their spectral and analytical data. They were evaluated for antimicrobial, antihelminthic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities with an objective to evaluate t...

A series of 6-substituted-1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole (3a-g) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole (4a-g, 5) derivatives of isoniazid were synthesized in satisfactory yield and pharmacologically evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. All the synthesized compounds were in good agreement with elemental and spectral data. A majority of the tested compounds showed good to moderate antimic...

The study was conducted to analyze the existence of bioactive phytochemicals extracts in green alga Scenedesmus dimorphus and their antimicrobial role. Various solvents such as methanol, ethanol, N-hegzane and diethylether were used for extraction. The extracts of of Scenedesmus dimorphus were tested against two Gram - positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus), a Gram - negat...

Chemical investigation of Garcinia eugenifolia and Calophyllum enervosum yielded six compounds. One of these was found to be a novel compound identified as enervosanone. Five known compounds cambogin, epicatechin, osajaxanthone, rubraxanthone and isocowanol, were also isolated. These compounds were tested for their bioactivity as antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxicagents. Antimicrobial...

Homophthalic anhydride reacts with different aromatic amines to produce N-substituted homophthalimides. Bromination of the latter produces 4,4-dibromo-homophthalimide derivatives that can be used as precursors for spiro-derivatives. The dibromo derivatives react with different binucleophilic reagents to produce several spiro-isoquinoline derivatives. Reaction of the dibromo derivatives with mal...

The antibacterial and antifungal activities of three schiff bases were evaluated against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Parallel experiments were also carried out with standard drugs (Kanamycin for bacteria and Nystatin for fungi). Two compounds [N-(1-phenyl-2-hydroxy-2phenylethylidine)-2',4' dinitrophenyl hydrazine, abbreviated as PDH and N-(2-hydroxy benzylidine)-2'-hydroxy imine, abbrev...
