A series of novel aminobenzophenone linked 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) hybrids were synthesized by incorporating aminobenzophenone moiety on 1,4-dihydropyridines scaffold (5a-f) and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR and CHN elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gramnegative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. Among all the synthesized compounds, compounds 5b, 5c and 5e have shown the maximum activity in their group whereas compounds 5a, 5d, 5f have shown the minimum activity.
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.
