Abstract

A series of substituted benzoic acid-(5-oxo-pentylidene)-hydrazides were synthesized and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by physicochemical and spectral (IR and NMR) means. All the compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against two Gram positive strains (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and one Gram negative strains (Escherichia coli) and fungal strain Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Among the synthesized hydrazides 3,5-dinitro-bezoic acid-(5-oxo-pentylidene)-hydrazide (10) was found to be most effective antimicrobial agent. In general the synthesized compounds were found to be bacteriostatic and fungistatic in nature.
