Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of glycinate and carbonate derivatives of cholesterol: Synthesis and characterization

Abstract

A series of glycinate and carbonate derivatives of cholesterol (4a–t) were synthesized, characterized and assessed for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Our results revealed that the compounds exerted inhibitory activities against gram-negative bacteria and fungi.
