Abstract

Two enolizable ketones, 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-propenone and 1-(4- bromophenyl)-3-(2-furyl)-2-propenone were reacted with six 5- substituted-2-amino benzenethiols, in dry ethanol containing trifluoroacetic acid to obtain 12 new compounds, 8-substituted-2,5-dihydro- 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl/2-furyl)-1,5-benzothiazepines in 59-73 % yields. The products were characterized on the basis of microanalytical data and spectral analysis comprising IR, 1H NMR, and mass studies. All the synthesized compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae and the fungus, Candida albicans with respective reference compounds. 8- Ethoxy-4-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine and 8-bromo-4- (4-bromophenyl)-2-(2-furyl)-2,5-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine compounds displayed notable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, which was higher than that of the reference standard vancomycin at the concentration of 200 μg/disc. Six of the newly synthesized compounds were found to show significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans.
