Synthesis, antimicrobial activity and bleaching effect of some reaction products of 4-oxo-4H-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehydes with aminobenzothiazoles and hydrazides.

The synthesis of the biologically active novel systems derived from reaction of 3-formylchromones with three types of amino derivatives, 6-R2-2-aminobenzothiazoles, 6-amino-2-R3-thiobenzothiazoles and hydrazide derivatives (derived from cyanoacetic, isonicotine, salicylic and gallic acids) was carried out. The structures of the prepared compounds have been proved by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and IR spectra. Antimicrobial activity was studied against the following microorganisms--bacteria G+ (Staphylococcus aureus 29/58, Bacillus subtilis 18/66), G- (Escherichia coli 326/71, Pseudomonas aeruginosa); yeasts: Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae; moulds: Microsporum gypseum, Aspergillus niger, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis; and against typical and atypical mycobacteria: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv), Mycobacterium kansasii (PFG 8), Mycobacterium avium (My 80/72), Mycobacterium fortuitum (1021). The hereditary bleaching effect on the plastid system of Euglena gracilis, a unique phenomenon of the biological activity of chromone derivatives, is reported. The bleaching test on E. gracilis is used for detecting extranuclear mutations.
