title: Synthesis, crystal structures and antibacterial activity studies of aza-derivatives of phytoalexin from cotton plant--gossypol.
abstract: Using Gossypol (GOS) extracted from cotton seeds, a series of its Schiff bases (1-18) and hydrazones (19-27) have been synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and yeast-like organisms. Of the 27 aza-derivatives of gossypol, 11 have been found active against the microorganisms tested, similar to gossypol. Crystal structures of the new Schiff base (compound 7) and hydrazone (compound 25) of gossypol reveal the presence of two different tautomers within two types of the aza-derivatives studied. The newly synthesized aza-derivatives of gossypol are characterized by the FT-IR, NMR and MS methods.
