[New isatin-derived hydrazones and Mannich bases with possible biological activity]

The paper presents a synthesis of six new Mannich bases, five hydrazones derived from 1-piperidino-methyl-5-R-isatin and three copper complex compounds of 3-(3'-R-phenyl-pyridazinil-hydrazone)-indoline-2-ones (R=H, CH3, OCH3). The structure of the new compounds was confirmed by the results of the elementary and spectral analysis. Pharmacodynamic studies indicated that copper complex compounds present effective biological properties. Thus, it can be seen that the experimental carrageenan-induced inflammatory oedema was 58.3% inhibited by the complex V (R=CH3) after oral administration. Antimicrobial tests revealed that only compound V (R=OCH3) shows a moderate antimicrobial activity against the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, used in the test.
