The present work describes the synthesis, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of 2,4-thiazolidinedione-5-acetic acid amides 3a-n. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1 H, 13 C NMR and elemental analysis. All compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity by twofold serial dilution technique. The preliminary results revealed that the compound 3d exhibits promising antibacterial and antifungal activity. The cytotoxic (MTT) activity of 2,4-thiazolidinedione-5-acetic acid amides were tested in four tumour cell lines. We found that compound 3j inhibited proliferation of HeLa, HT29, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC 50 values of 33, 35, 30 and 36 lM, respectively.
