Abstract

Seven biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide-hydrazones have been synthesized. These hydrazone derivatives were characterized by CHN analysis, IR, and 1H NMR spectral data. All the compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against two Gram negative strains (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two Gram positive strains (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger All newly synthesized compounds exhibited promising results.
