Abstract:
A new series of 4-phenyldiazenyl 2-(phenylimino methyl) phenols were synthesized by the condensation of 5-[(2-chloro phenyl) diazenyl] 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with different substituted aromatic amines and sulphonamides. All the synthesized compounds were screened in-vitro for their antibacterial activity against different human pathogens viz: B. anthracis, E.coli, S. aureus, S. typhimurium, and P. aeruginosa using disk diffusion assay. All the compounds exhibited considerable inhibition against the bacteria tested.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
