Abstract

1-(p-Methylphenyl)-3,5-diaryl-2-pyrazoline derivatives (2a-f) were synthesized via the treatment of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-aryl-2-propen-1-ones (1a-f) with p-methylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride in hot acetic acid. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral data and elemental analysis. These compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activity. Brine-Shrimp lethality assay was carried out to determine the toxicity of the compounds. Compound 2e, which is the pyrazoline derivative bearing the 2,5-dichlorophenyl moiety, can be identified as the most promising agent against Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 13883) and Candida glabrata (ATCC 36583) due to its inhibitory effects on K. pneumoniae and C. glabrata with a MIC value of 100 mu g/mL as a non-toxic agent (LC50>1000 mu g/mL).
