New phenoxyacetic acid analogues with antimicrobial activity

Abstract

This paper presents experimental data regarding the synthesis and the antimicrobial activity of new 4-phenylazo-phenoxyacetic acids. All compounds were characterized by IR, UV-Vis, mass spectral data and by elemental analysis. These compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans by disk diffusion method.
