SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF ISATIN DERIVATIVES AS ANTIMICROBIALS Authors: Yadav M , KUMAR S AND HUSAIN A
ABSTRACT
With the findings of bioactivity of isatin derivatives, present investigation aim to synthesize
new isatin derivatives (PD1-15) and evaluation for their antimicrobial activity. The isatin
derivatives were obtained by reaction of istain (1) with p-phenylenediamine (2) in ethanol to
afford 3-(4-aminophenylimino)-indolin-2-one (3) on chloroacetylation to afford the N-(4-(2-
oxoindolin-3-ylideneamino)-phenyl)-2-chloroacetamide (4) which further reacted with
different phenols and primary amines in presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in
acetonitrile. The test compounds characterized by spectroscopic methods. All the test
compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus,
Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive bacteria), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Gramnegative
bacteria) and Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum,
Rhizopus oryzae (fungal strains) by cup-plate method by measuring zone of inhibition. The
MIC value of potent test compounds was also determined. Molecular properties of test
compounds were determined by online software. The results showed isatin derivatives may
be optimized as lead compound as antimicrobials.
