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.
