Synthesis, antimicrobial and antioxidative activity of some new isatin derivatives

Abstract

The isatin derivatives, Schiff bases, were synthesized by the reaction of isatin and various substituted primary amines and characterized by several spectroscopic methods. Investigation of the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was performed by the agar dilution method, against different strains of bacteria and one fungus. The antioxidative activity of the synthesized compounds was also determined. Some of the compounds showed significant activity against the selected strains of microorganisms and antioxidative activity.
