ABSTRACT
A series of some novel chalcones and pyrazolines were synthesized and evaluated against
bacterial strains such as S.aureus, E.coli, P.aeroginosa and B.subtilis and fungal strains like
C.albicans, S.cerevisiae. In the present investigation, substituted chalcones (3a-f) were
synthesized by condensing 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethyl thiophene (1) with substituted aromatic
aldehydes (2). Then (3a-f) were treated with phenyl hydrazine (4) to yield substituted
pyrazolines (5a-f). All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral analysis
[IR, H-NMR, Mass]. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal
activity, Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) was determined and most of the compounds were shown
significant activity against bacteria when compared to fungal organisms.
