Abstract

A new series of 5- or 7-substituted 3-{4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenylimino}-indolin-2-one derivatives were screened for In vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The results of this study revealed that all synthesized compounds were significantly scavenged DPPH free radicals in a concentration-dependant manner. The IC50 values of all test compounds were found to be between 18.34 and 50.54 µM. All compounds significantly inhibited growth of bacteria and most of the minimum inhibitory concentration values were between 20 and 100 mg mL−1 indicating potent to moderate antibacterial activity. In conclusion, 3-{4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)phenylimino)-5 or 7-substituted indolin-2-ones derivatives exhibited moderate antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
