SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL EVALUATION OF SYMMETRICAL DIQUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS BEARING BIS-1,3,4-OXADIAZOLE RINGS MOIETIES

Abstract

This study describes the synthesis of some novel compounds containing bis-1,3,4-oxadiazole bearing quaternary ammonium salt moieties. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative strains of bacteria, and the antifungal activities were tested against three phytopathogenic fungi namely, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium commune and Fusarium rodelens.
