title: Synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial studies of some new 3-[phenyldiazenyl] benzaldehyde N-phenyl thiosemicarbazones.
abstract: The increasing clinical importance of drug resistant microbial pathogens has lent additional urgency to microbiological research and new antimicrobial compound development. For this purpose, a new series of 3-[phenyldiazenyl] benzaldehyde N-phenylthiosemicarbazones were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal and antibacterial activity. The reaction of 2-hydroxy-5-[phenyldiazenyl] benzaldehyde (I) with N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (II) were carried out in DMF. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized target compounds (III) were evaluated by screening on different human pathogens using the disc diffusion assay. All the compounds exhibited considerable inhibition against the bacteria and fungi tested.
