ABSTRACT
Plan: Present work aims to synthesize a series of new benimidazoles (SBS-a-m) with various substitutions at 2-o-amino phenyl position and to evaluate their in-vitro antibacterial and anti-fungal activity.
Prologue: Benzimidazole containing organic compounds forms a significant group of drugs which exhibit an array of biological activities ranging from antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anthelmintic activities and so on.
Methodology: The starting material SBS was synthesized by microwave irradiation of o-phenylenediamine and anthranilic acid mixture in presence of polyphosphoric acid. SBS was further derivatized to Schiff bases (SBS-a-m) by reacting with various substituted aromatic aldehydes. The in-vitro antibacterial and anti-fungal activity was carried out by the agar diffusion method using Ampicillin and Miconazole nitrate respectively as standards at a concentration of 50µg/0.1ml.
Outcome: SBS-k was found to be most active on all the bacteria used and SBS-e showed good activity against both Gram-positive bacteria and moderate activity against both Gram-negative bacteria. No compound showed significant antifungal activity.
Key words: Benzimidazole, antibacterial activity, antifungal activity.
