Synthesis and Characterization of Novel N-(Benzo[d]Thiazol-2-yl)-2-(2-(6-Chloroquinolin-4-yl)Hydrazinyl)Acetamide Derivatives Containing Quinoline Linkage as Potent Antibacterial Agents

As part of ongoing studies in developing new antibacterial agent, a novel series of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(2-(6-chloroquinolin-4-yl)hydrazinyl)acetamide derivatives was synthesized by sequencing reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole with chloroacetylchloride, hydrazine hydrate and 4,7-dichloroquinoline. The novel heterocycles were characterized by elemental analyses and various spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were tested in-vitro antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria with standard drugs. Microbiological results showed that the synthesized compounds possessed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms.
