Abstract
A series of fluorine containing 4-(substituted-2-hydroxybenzoyl) pyrazoles and pyrazolyl benzo[d]oxazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis and antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The antibacterial activities were expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC50) in microg/ml. The compounds 1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoyl)-1H-pyrazole (4b), oxime derivatives such as 1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)methanone oxime (5b) and (5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)(1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methanone oxime (5e) exhibited promising activities against tested bacterial strains. Except compound 1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-1H-pyrazole (4d), none of the other compounds showed promising antifungal activity.
