Efficient synthesis of a series of pyrazolylbiscoumarin (4a -4e) and pyrazolylxanthenedione derivatives (5a -5e) is described. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their spectral data (IR, 1 HNMR and 13 CNMR). All the synthesized compounds 4 and 5 were screened for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and Gram-negative bacteria K. pneumoniae. The tested compounds exhibited varying degree of antibacterial activity, showing the inhibition zone size ranging from 6 to 21 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
