Department of Health Researchers Report on Findings in Pharmaceutical Science (Synthesis and Characterization of New 5-Fluoroisatin-Chalcone Conjugates with Expected Antimicrobial Activity).

A new report from the Department of Health discusses the synthesis and characterization of new 5-fluoroisatin-chalcone conjugates with expected antimicrobial activity. The research highlights the importance of developing new antimicrobial agents due to the increasing resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. The compounds synthesized in this study showed potential as antibacterial agents against E. coli and S. aureus, as well as antifungal agents against C. albicans. The most active compound was identified as compound 5e, while compound 5g exhibited the least activity. [Extracted from the article]
