SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF NAPHTHO[2,1-b]FURAN DERIVATIVES

The naphthofuran and its derivatives are important biological compounds so we have focused on the synthesis of naphthofuran derivatives. The synthesized compounds of ethyl 1-(acetylamino)-5-nitronaphtho[2,1-b]furan-2- carboxylate (3), and N-[2-(hydrazinylcarbonyl)-5-nitronaphtho[2,1-b]furan-1-yl]acetamide (4) used for the synthesis of N-(2-{[(2Z)-2-benzylidenehydrazinyl]carbonyl}-5-nitronaphtho[2,1-b]furan-1-yl)acetamide compounds of four derivatives 5 (a-d) and 1-acetamido-5-nitro-N-(5-oxo-2-phenylthiazolidin-3-yl)naphtha[2,1-b]furan-2-carboxamide compounds of four derivatives 6 (a-d). The prepared compounds were confirmed by FTIR NMR, and mass methods. The prepared naphthofuran derivatives used for the antibacterial activity versus both Gram(+ve) and Gram(-ve) bacteria show excellent results. Therefore the synthesized compounds are used for further antibacterial studies in the medical field.
