Antimicrobial effects of esters and amides of 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylic acid

Abstract: The effect of 18 newly synthesized esters and amides of 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylic acid on bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans), molds (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium cyclopium, Rhizopus oryzae) and algae (Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Euglena gracilis, Scenedesmus obliquus) was investigated. The MIC values revealed antimycotic, antialgal and antibacterial activity of the studied derivatives. The antimycotic activity was found to decrease with increas… Show more

“…5-Nitro-2-furylacrylic acid (NFAA) (1) was obtained from Slovakofarma Hlohovec (Czechoslovakia). Alkyl esters and amides of NFAA (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) were synthesized according to Sturdik et al (13,14). Nitrovin (9) was obtained from Chemapol Praha (Czechoslovakia), and nitrofurantoin (10) (o-Nitrophenyl)-/3-D-galactopyranoslde (ONPG) and p -nltrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) are the substrates for determination of the enzymes -galactosldase and alkaline phosphatase, respectively.…”

“…However, novel antibacterial compounds with more selectivity and less toxicity are needed for the future. The necessity for novel specific antibacterial drugs is evidenced by the microorganisms' development of resistance to drugs. For this reason many researchers worldwide have been interested in the search and evaluation of novel antimicrobial compounds. Specifically, our center has been working fundamentally in synthesis, biological testing, and development of antibacterial drugs from nitrovinylfuran compounds. These chemicals have been known for a long time to have antimicrobial and other activities. Hence, the broad diversity of possible chemical structures to test imposed on us the necessity for development of an alternative technique to classical trial and error screenings.…”
