Abstract
A new class of 2‐aryloxy‐N‐phenylacetamide and N′‐(2‐aryloxyoxyacetyl) benzohydrazide derivatives with different active moieties were synthesized and screened for their antibacterial activity. Structural characterization of synthesized compounds was performed using HR‐MS, 1H‐NMR, and 13C‐NMR spectral data. Amongst the synthesized compounds, 4‐{2‐[2‐(2‐chloroacetamido)phenoxy]acetamido}‐3‐nitrobenzoic acid (3h) and 2‐chloro‐N‐(2‐{2‐[2‐(2‐chlorobenzoyl)hydrazinyl]‐2‐oxoethoxy}phenyl)acetamide (3o) have shown good antibacterial activity against a selected panel of bacteria. Besides, compounds also exhibited bactericidal activity against P. aeruginosa (3h, 0.69 μg/mL) and S. aureus (3o, 0.62 μg/mL) as evident by MBC and time‐kill kinetics studies. In silico molecular docking and ADMET properties of newly synthesized compounds revealed that compounds could be considered as promising antibacterial agents.
