The enhancement of bacterial resistance of pathogens to currently available antibiotics constitutes a serious public health threat. Therefore, intensive efforts are underway worldwide to develop new antimicrobial agents. To identify compounds with a potent antimicrobial profile, we designed and synthesized some hydrazide derivatives la-e. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, 1H-NMR, I3C-NMR and FAB+-MS spectral data. Their antimicrobial activities against to E. coli (NRRL B-3008), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Proteus vulgaris (NRRL B-123), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 13311), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (clinic isolate), Candida albicans (NRRL Y-12983) and Candida parapsilosis (NRRL Y-12696) were investigated. The results showed that all of the tested compounds were inactive against the test organism.
