Abstract

In medicinal chemistry, Schiff bases have garnered considerable interest because of their diversearray of pharmacological properties. Many derivatives of Schiff bases demonstrate antimicrobial,antiviral, antimalarial, and anticancer activities, making them promising candidates for drug development. Their therapeutic potentialis largely owing to their capacity to engage with biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. In our research, we synthesized Schiff base intermediate molecules from aniline and utilized 1HNMR, 13CNMR,andLCMSanalysistoelucidate the structures of the synthesized compounds. Additionally, we conducted molecular docking studies toanalyse the antibacterial efficacy of the most promising compound. The compound(3-(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one) demonstrated a strong binding affinity with the protein. Furthermore, in vitro antibacterial activity tests revealedthatthesynthesized compounds exhibited significantantibacterialactivity.
