Synthesis, Characterization, and <i>In-Silico</i> Studies of Some Novel Phenylhydrazone Derivatives as Potential Agents for Antimicrobial Activities by Rabiu Bako, Abdullahi Yunusa Idris, Asma’u Nasiru Hamza, Gbonjubola O. Adeshina, Musa Abdullahi Garba

“…The (E)-Substituted-N-(phenylhydrazones) derivatives were obtained by a condensation reaction between substituted acetophenone and substituted phenyl hydrazine through a one-step reaction, resulting of five (5) novel compounds such as <i>HS1</i> (E)-1-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethylidene)-2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine), <i>HS2</i>(E)-1-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethylidene)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazine), <i>HS3</i>(E)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazine), <i>HS4</i>(E)-1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-2-(1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazine), and <i>HS5</i> (E)-1-(1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethylidene)-2-phenylhydrazine) and the <i>in-silico</i> prediction of physicochemical properties were found within Lipinski’s rule of five and the synthesized compounds were established by structurally elucidations on the basis of FTIR, 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis and the newly synthesized compounds were then subjected to antimicrobial assessment for an in vitro test evaluation using the inhibition zone technique, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC).…”
