Synthesis and Physicochemical Properties of Coumarin Derivatives as Antimicrobial Agents
Main Article Content
Abstract
A series of new cumarine Schiff base derivatives has been designed using in silico methods and synthesised as potential antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal properties. In silico results indicate that all the compounds adhere to the Lipinski rule of five.
