ABSTRACT
A major risk to human health is the specific rise in infectious diseases, especially in light of the opposition to modern antimicrobial medications. As a result, there is a global interest in discovering new antimicrobial medicines that are more effective when used just against bacteria strains that are resistant to all known antibiotics. Because it offers information for arranging molecules in order of importance for in vivo or in vitro assessments, in silico biological activity prediction is useful for drug discovery. Maleimides have become significant pharmacophores in recent years and are essential medicinal agents with a variety of biological activities. Compounds from the maleimide serieswere subjected to in silico biological activity predictions, partition coefficient (pLogP) calculations, and ADME calculations using the online programme. Melting point, TLC, 1H NMR, and IR spectroscopy were used in the synthesis and characterization of the series of compounds. Utilizing the agar disc diffusion method, the antimicrobial assessment of the studied compounds showed that Compounds (2d) and (2M) exhibit good antibacterial and antifungal activities among this series. Promising antibacterial and antifungal action was demonstrated by the remaining compounds. Keywords: In silico, Maleimides, ADME Prediction, Antibacterial activity, Antifungal Activity
