Abstract

A new series of N-(2-hydroxy-4(or 5)-nitro/aminophenyl)benzamide and phenylacetamide derivatives ( 1a– 1n, 2a– 2n) were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and their drug-resistant isolate. Microbiological results indicated that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms at MIC values between 500 and 1.95 μg/ml. Benzamide derivative 1d exhibited the greatest activity with MIC values of 1.95, 3.9, and 7.8 μg/ml against drug-resistant B. subtilis, B. subtilis, and S. aureus, respectively.
