Synthesis and antibacterial activity of semicarbazone derivatives of some carbonyl compounds

Mohamed N Ibrahim, Hussniyia A

Abstract

A number of aliphatic and aromatic semicarbazone derivatives have been prepared by the condensation of a variety of ketones with semicarbazide. The products have been characterized by analytical and spectral methods. The semicarbazone derivatives were screened for antibacterial activity by well diffusion method, using nutrient agar medium, and some of the products have shown biological activities against common test organisms
