Studies on Alkylated Furan Derivatives. V

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of 5-Nitro-2-furaldehyde 4-Alkylsemicarbazone and 4-Alkylthiosemicarbazone

Abstract

As the alkylated derivatives of 5-nitrofuran and its allied compounds, 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde 4-alkylsemicarbazone and 4-alkylthiosemicarbazones were prepared. None of these compounds showed antitubercular activity but some of the compounds had growth-inhibitory action against Trichophyton and Microsporum spp. at low concentration. None of the compounds were effective against Candida and Saccharomyces.
