All the synthesized derivatives were selected for the screening of antibacterial potential against Grampositive bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 3160) and Micrococcus luteus (MTCC 1538)] and Gram-negative bacteria [Escherichia coli (MTCC 1652) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424)] and antifungal potential against Aspergillus niger (MTCC 8652) and Candida albicans (MTCC 227), and free radical scavenging activity through 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate method. The compounds TH-4, TH-13, and TH-19 were found to be more potent antimicrobial agents compared to standard drugs. The compounds TH-3, TH-9, and TH-18 also showed significant antimicrobial activity. The compound TH-13 showed antioxidant activity with IC 50 value better than the standard compound. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, 1 H-NMR, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and CHN analyzer.
