The chemistry of aspirin and chalcone derivatives has been extensively studied and developed as one of thepharmaceutically important molecules. In this study, new aspirin-chalcone derivatives have been successfullysynthesized and characterized via FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The antibacterial activities ofsynthesized compounds were investigated towards Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 via turbidimetric kineticmethod. The newly synthesized aspirin-chalcone derivatives, however showed poor antibacterial activityagainst E. coli ATCC 8739 at the concentration of 50, 80 and 100 ppm. The effect of the molecular structureof the synthesized compounds on the antibacterial activity is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
