摘要

A simple and efficient method was employed for the synthesis of novel hydrazones derived from 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, yielding structurally diverse Schiff base of benzothiazole derivatives (2–11) in high yields (76–96%). The synthesized hydrazones were fully characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS. Their antimicrobial and bactericidal activities were systematically evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial isolates. Notably, compounds 4 and 9 exhibited the highest potency against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus polymyxa, with low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values. Against Gram-negative bacteria, compound 4 demonstrated the most significant activity, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. In contrast, compounds 6 and 7 displayed minimal or no antimicrobial activity. Streptomycin, used as a reference, showed greater efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. The findings highlight compounds 4 is a promising broad-spectrum antimicrobial candidate, warranting further investigation through mechanistic studies, toxicity assessments, and in vivo evaluations to explore their therapeutic potential.
