Abstract

Two biologically active Schiff bases, C13H10BrON (4) , C13H9Br2O2N (5) , were synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminophenol (1) with 3-bromobenzaldehyde (2) or 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3) in the presence of conc. H2SO4. The characterization of Schiff bases were carried out by using spectroscopic techniques including IR, 1H-NMR, FAB-MS along with elemental analyses. The Schiff bases were checked for biological screening and Schiff base (4) was found to be potent antioxidant agent while Schiff base (5) showed non-significant antioxidant activity. In enzyme inhibition, the lipoxygenase inhibition activity was found to be moderate for Schiff base (4) and significant for Schiff base (5) . The Schiff bases (4-5) also have excellent antibacterial activity for strains; Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa , using gentamicin as standard drug.
