Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of A 5(4-(4-Substituted) Aminobenzylidine) Thiazolidine-2,4-Dione Derivatives

A novel 5(4-(4-substituted)Aminobenzylidine)thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR and H-NMR spectral analysis. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the compounds were assessed by in vitro growth inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Asperigillus niger, Candida albicans by using the disc diffusion method. Most of all compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while weak antifungal activity against Asperigillus niger and Candida albicans.
