Synthesis and characterization of new thiourea and urea derivatives of 6-fluoro-3-(piperidin-4-yl)benzo[d] isoxazole: In vitro Antimicrobial and Antioxidant activity

Abstract

A new class of antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, based on thiourea and urea derivatives of 6-fluoro-3-(piperidin-4-yl)benzo[d] isoxazole were synthesized by adopting a simple and efficient method. Synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral data of IR, 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectra. The compounds were evaluated for their efficacy as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. A few compounds showed good antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity when compared to standard drugs and thus represent a new class of promising lead compounds.
