title: Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of new phenoxyacetamide derivatives.
abstract: New N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-2 or 3 or 4-(phenoxyacetamido)benzamides 6a-t were synthesized and tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) and gram negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) bacteria as well as fungi (Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Candida tropicalis ATCC 13803 and Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC 90112). Compounds 6 were devoid of antibacterial as well as antifungal activities at maximum tested concentrations of 50 micrograms/ml for bacteria and 100 micrograms/ml for yeast.
