The aim of the research work was to synthesize different biologically active carbamate derivatives bearing 2-furoyl-1-piperazine and having modest toxicity. The synthesis was completed in multiple steps. The structural confirmation of all the synthesized compounds was carried out by EI-MS, IR and 1H-NMR spectral data. The enzyme inhibition and antibacterial potential of the synthesized compounds was evaluated. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of the compounds was also checked to find their utility as possible therapeutic agents. All the compounds were active against acetylcholinesterase enzyme especially 12 and 14 showed very good inhibitory potential relative to Eserine, a reference standard. Almost all the compounds showed good activities against the both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains.
