Abstract
A novel series of pyrazoline derivatives (3-9) was synthesized and identified by using several spectral analysis. Chalcone compound (1) was prepared as a starting material from the reaction of 4-aminoacetophenone and furan-2-carboxaldehyde in ethanol, using sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. Cyclization reaction of 1 by the action of hydrazine hydride afforded compound 2: 4-(5-(furan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl) aniline. The target compounds (3-9) were obtained from the reaction of 2 with corresponding aldehydes in ethanol. The synthesized compounds were in vitro screened against several bacterial strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus espidermididis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp, as well as, Candida albicans. These compounds exhibit a moderate to good activity.
