ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to control infectious diseases by discovering new antibiotic
compounds. To achieve this goal, series of carboxamide derivatives of moxifloxacin has been
synthesized. The structures of synthesized derivatives have been establishedthrough
spectroscopic method that was UV, IR, H1NMR and Mass-spectra. In present work, we focused
on carboxylic group (C-3position) of drug for derivatization. Screening of their antimicrobial
activities have been systematically carried out against various Gram-positive, Gram-negative
organisms and fungi in comparison with parent drugs. Statistical analysis has been carried out by
SPSS and results were analyses by applying one way ANOVA. The biological data shows that
the prepared derivatives have good activities against B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa. Furthermore,
all derivatives showed excellent result against F. solani and T. rubrum. So, we can conclude that, the developed novel compounds have higher antifungal and antibacterial activities as related to
standard drug.
